NEW HIGHWAY IMPETUS
Every once in a while we get a new slant on that
proposed international Highway that . gives us new
dreams of the future and a keener desire to see the
day when it will be our privilege to go scooting along
vast stretches of country where the foot of white man
has scarcely touched. The newest impetus to our ima
ginings is furnished by Donald MacDonald, father of
the International Highway idea, who tells in The Gate
way of the Gulkana-Nabesna link now building
which will eventually become part of the. great road
connecting Alaska with the States, but will also foim
a future part of highways from the Interior to Anchor
age and Seward.
MacDonald s account of the route along the upper
Copper river from the Richardson Highway and which
will ultimately cross the divide to the upper White m
Yukon Territory, gives an insight into . some little
known Alaska "history as well as a preliminary view
of what must be some of the choicest scenery m the
whole land. It gives a foretaste of what will undoubted
iv be one of the premier scenic routes of all the world,
and furnishes another tingling reason why Alaska and
Canada should bend every elfort toward putting the
great highway over.
The Gateway was the first to go to the bat foi the
International Highway and has been doing e\ ei >t iing
a paper can do to follow up on the proposition. \\e have
long maintained and still hold that MacDonald is the
best man who can be found either here or m the
States to head this great undertaking, not overlooking
the fact he has done more than any one else to n mg
the idea into the prominence and eager acceptance it
lias already achieved.
SCRAMBLED SLOGANS
Here is a nice parlor game. Have written on slips
of paper certain advertising slogans. On another set
of slips write the names of the various advertisers ton
eemed Mix each set in a hat or other receptacle and
draw one slip from each and compare. Here are some
of the results reported by a contemporary:
“Eventually, Why Not Now?”—National Funeral
Directors’ Association.
“Good to the Last Drop.”—Haviland China.
‘'Has the Strength of Gibralter.”—Brookfield But
ter.
Famous Lasky Players.
-Squibb’s Tasteless Castor
“Hams What Am.”—
“The Flavor Lasts.
Oil.
“The Danger Line”— The Alaska Railroad.
Politics make strange- bed-fellows. A couple of
years ago we had the picture of much sour competition
among the various Alaska clans; at this general elect
ion we see many mergers between those who, until
this year appeared to be bitterly opposed
to one another.
The autocratic Alaska Game Commission will pro
bably wake up some day and perceive the need of sta
tioning a game warden at this point of egress and in
gress. Some day, perhaps, when they lose their pet
peeve.
“Oh where, oh where, is my little brown dog? Oh,
where, oh where, etc.” Which ditty reminds us: What
has become of our reindeer cold storage plant, proposed
coal bunkers and a lot of other hooey?
Asserting that cannibals will not eat a man who
nas used tobacco, a reformer asks if that is not a
potent argument against the filthy weed. To which
the Macon Telegraph retorts: “No; who is going to
do without tobacco just to pamper a cannibal ?”
H FEAR IN HEARTS
BUT WENT THROUGH
Altho the daring flight to Cape
Serdge by Frank Dorbandt and Al
onzo Cope which took them nearly
1,000 miles north of Anchorage and
inside the Arctic Circle is now a
matter of historic acomplishment,
it was undertaken with very grave
misgivings by Frank Dorbandt, ac
cording to a special article in the
New York Times which has just
come to the Gateway’s desk. As is
now known the intrepid aviators
j were called to the north of the Si
| berian coast to bring out Captain
i A. P. Jochimsen of the fur ship
! Karie marooned in the ice. Captain
Jochimsen was seriously ill and had
; to be brought to a hospital at once
! to save his life.
Dorbandt gave his story to the
I Times just before his start and
; since he was going into the very
! country where Ben Eilson lost his
' life and at a time of the year when
j storms could be expected, he was
i naturally apprehensive. His peace
i of mind was not heightened by the
! fact that he and Cope had just
s completed an extra hazardous
flight to the Glacier Lake country
from Anchorage to pick up a party
of New York hunters. However, the
! two men brought back all parties
concerned and directed the Karise
out of her difficulties- They are
j now Outside purchasing planes for
j their compaany, The International
Airways of Alaska and will con
tinue to give Seward good air
service to any part of the Terri
tory.
STM IT HALIFAX
CREATES BIS OWE
HALIFAX, Oct,, 6, </P)— A
northeast gale and heavy rain
caused extensive damage to the
apple crop, disrupted communi
I cation and wrought havoc with
I small craft.
Apple growers estimated the
crop loss at $100,000.
A Halifax harbor barge, load- I
ed with dynamite, broke from
its mooring and drifted among
craft, Two yachts were torn
from their moorings and dash
ed to pieces against the sea
wall and several steamers, caught
in the gale, are overdue.
Gateway Readers:—
Since it is impossible for me
to meet all the readers of this
paper personally, I am taking
this means of informing you of
my qualifications for the posi
tion of Commissioner of Educa
tion for the Territory of Alas
ka, wich position I am seeking
at the general election on No
vember 4th.
I am a college and university
graduate, having studied an
equivalent of two years beyond
the requirements for the A. B.
degree. During these two years
of post-graduate study, I have
specialized in the field of school
administration, and have cover
ed every phase of the work.
I have had 17 years experience
in school work, consisting of
experience as a rural school
teacher, high school teacher,
high school principal, grade sup
ervisor, and city superintend
dent.
With the special training and
wide experience noted above, I
am sure that I am very ade
qautely qualified for the posi
tion, and if selected, will give
the Territory an administration
of its schools that will be in
keeping with the best practices
of the times.
You will find my name on the
Democratic ticket.
Yours very truly, A. E. Karnes,
Superintendent of Schools,
[ Adv. Ketchikan, Alaska
