THE SEWARD ATHLETIC CLUB
It is doubtful that Seward ever had a more popular
institution than the Seward Athletic Club and certainly
no institution ever deserved more support from the peo
ple of the town, nor did we ever receive better returns for
an investment than the boys and girls of the S. A. C. give
us
It would hardly be fair to overlook the corpulent boys
of the local cable office and those employed on the Sew
ard wharf, who have done more to start and carry on the
S. A. C. than anyone else. It is earnestly hoped the peo
ple of this community will continue to support the- club as
they have done in the past.
‘ To' the club we suggest they get busy and prepare for
the summer. We would like to see a good outdoor ath
letic field fixed up besides a good baseball diamond. With
a few leading members like Burr Snyder, Hopkins, Shell
horn, Dyer brothers, Tinkler, Painter, Paulsteiner, and
numerous others who have devoted much of their time to
promoting the welfare of the organization, and with the
assistance of many others, this should prove an easy
matter.
One of the new feeds running around town is called
calory—it isn’t as yet in the White House cook book, be
cause we looked it lip, but we can bet its invigorating, es
pecially after the night before.
We wonder if Mayor Brown of Seattle proclaimed
bootlegging places to be closed yesterday, election day.
The sleeping fox catches no poultry, but his tanned
hide makes a hit with the chickens.
An oldtimer is one who can remember when the sa
loons were closed jon election days.
American polar expeditions will seek to annex the^
Arctic regions for a future army base. It is only a ques
tion of time until some buck private will be detailed to
police up the North Pole.
Roald Amundsen, who expects to fly to the North
Pole in a dirigible next summer, was a recent Seattle vis
itor. He was probably there to inspect some of the lo- j
cal hot-air bags.
Speaking of gas bags, the two largest ones—Los An
geles.
An oldtimer is one who remembers when weinerwust
was dubbed “victory sausage.”
Sheriff McKay of Cochrane, Can,, wired a rush order
for coal saying, he feared three murderers on hand would
freeze to death before he got a chance to hang them.
HEROES ALL
An almost unprecedented succession of gales which
recently swept the northern and western Atlantic devel
oped a new and lengthy list of sailor heroes.
Stories of daring rescues under the most trying con
ditions have filled the columns of the daily press, demon
strating that the chivalry of the sea still lives with un
diminished vigor in the breasts of present-day seamen.
A total of 27 lives were lost when more than a score
of vessels, some of large size, were sunk or disabled and
tossed helplessly at the mercy of the waves for days on
end, while other staunch craft battled to tow them to port
or rescue their crewTs, as circumstances required.
Outstanding among these deeds of supreme heroism
was the rescue of the crew of the British freighter Anti
noe by the United States liner President Roosevelt, after
lifeboats had been repeatedly smashed and two lives lost.
The last of the crew of 25 men were finally brought to
safety in the sixth lifeboat launched from the Roosevelt.
Throughout all the trying ordeals which beset these
men of the sea, not a single instance of flinching from
stern duty was recorded, while examples of superb cour
age were everywhere in evidence. Living or dead, they
have proved themselves heroes all.
TO THE CITIZENS OF LATOUCTIE:
While steamers are in port at Seward, dental work can be done
providing previous appointment has been made.
DR. A. R. ROBERTS, Seward, Alaska.
EVEN AS YOU AND I
(From Sitka Tribune)
To hear the splash of the waves on
the rocks; to feel close to the never
resting sea; to feel kindly; to know
that as soon as daylight comes the
friendly sea gulls and the insullant
I crows will greet you—All of this has
appealed to Jan Van Empel as he has
moved from the lonely cabin at James
town Bay to the hut on the Bridge at
[the end of Maksoutoff street.
The unattractive little hut, accus
tomed to the meager existence as
eked out by fishermen—has been
transformed by the deft hands of the
! Artist into a living Studio.
! As one crosses the threshold they
1 become electrified by the personality
of this great man—and time ceases to
:be a reality.
PRINTER HEADS NORTH
Like the robins and bluebirds, print
ers are a good deal alike when it
conies to packing their grips and
heading for the North. R. C. Blan
chard, pressman from Seattle, passed
thru Seward Monday en route to
Fairbanks. He is making the trip
with the view of looking the country
over and if he likes it well enough,
(he intimated he was reluctant to
leave Seward), he may decide to lo
cate. He thought, perhaps he might
return to Seward in about a week and
residje here, and possibly join the
Gateway mechanical force. In speak
ing of Seattle, Mr. Blanchard said
he visited with Jack Peterson, and
his family and said they are fine and
Jack is hitting the ball for the Bean
Printing Co., taking care of a half
dozen automatic presses. Jack left
the Gateway staff last fall to try the
Outside for a change, but according
to reports, he feels restless and will
just as liable walk off the gangplank
here within the near future as not.
Send the Gateway to friends.
