AT POINT BARROW
DISTRIBUTING STAKES, WINTER
Carl Lotsfelt and Floss Kinney Will
Makes Snow Trek to Tocotna
Together.
Thosands of stakes were shipped
up to the Nome headquarters of the
Alaska Hoad Commission last sum
mer, announced Ross Kinney, supt. j
of the district, in Seward the first j
of the week during his brief visit
here while en route to the Interior.
They will be distributed this winter ]
from dog teams along the trail from !
Kotzebue Sound to Point Barrow.
They will also be driven in the Nor
ton Bay area.
At the present time the road com
mission has an established trail from
Nome, following along along the
latter point to Barrow, it is Mr. Kin
ney’s intention to not only stake out
a trail but, if possible, erect a num
ber of shelter cabins of the same
type that have been, erected at many
other points on trails in the Second
Division.
At Anchorage, Mr. Kinney will be
joined by Carl Lotsfelt, his former as
sistant in the Tacotna district, but
who, since the transfer of Mr. Kin
ney to the Nome region, has been
made temporary superintendent. Mr.
Lotsfelt, who is well known in Sew
ard, came out from the lower coun
try last week for the express pur-1
pose of meeting Mr. Kinney and ac
company him back to Tacotna where
Mr. Kinney will wind up his affairs
from former operations.
He then plans traveling alone, with
his team, to Ophir, then to Kaltag,
from which point the mail trail
branches off to three trails. From
this point he expected he would haVe
to begin breaking trail until he struck
Nome mail trail, across the portage
to Unagleet, then following the coast
line to Norton Sound to Nome.
Following his arrival at his new
headquarters he proposes to make
a trip of inspection about the dis
trict settling up the general work af
ter which he plans going across the
iSeward peninsula to Candle, then to
the Kobuk, and also to Point Hope.
He said, with respect to the shelter
cabins to Point Barrow, these should
be established within the coming two
years.
Mrs. Kinney is remaining in (Seattle
until the departure of the first steam
er for Nome, next spring, at which
time she will join her husband. Dur
ing his recent trip Outside he spent
three weeks at home, over the holi
days.
COTTON GROWING RANKED
AS CALIFORNIA INDUSTRY
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 21. (/P)—
For 75 years the Golden Gate State
has been trying to become known as
the land of cotton, and at last its
efforts are meeting with a success
as striking as were some o.f its early
failures.
Figures of the Federal department
of agriculture disclose that for several
years California has produced more
cotton than Virginia, the oldest cot
ton prdoucing state; that California’s
average yield per acre is the highest
of any cotton-'producing state, and
that California Acala cotton sells at
a premium on the cotton markets of
the United States.
A good show at the Liberty tonight.

THE SEWARD
Weekly Gateway
Will be published every Friday, the
lirst issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE in
tlie field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly 1000
copies It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and Ter
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries. The Seward
Weekly Gateway will have nearly exclusive entry to the vast district west of Sew
ard owing to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of correspondents
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect in a weekly paper.
We believe this new venture will prove sucessful inasmuch as it will offer an adver
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published in Seward, for a time at
least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublieation, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be ^0 cents per inch per issue or $2.00 per month.
Only $3.00 the Year
To assure cash the year through,
superstitious Germans are carrying
scales of carp in their purses. They
are worth nearly as much as the
marks recently in circulation there.
