PRE ELECTION THOUGHTS
Now chat you will be called upon tomorrow to say
your little say in the destinies of your chosen part of
the United States,—to-wit Alaska, it behooves you to
ponder carefully your choice when it comes to casting
your ballot.
We are not talking to those hide-bound partisans
who vote Democratic or Republican straight whether
the candidates be long-eared asses, or red-tailed cuck
oos; rather, we wish to ponder these thoughts with
ihat ever-growing army of voters who consider the man
rather than the ticket and try to weigh judicially his
record, what he stands for and what he may reasonably
be expected to accomplish.
GIVE THE BOY A HAND
We don’t really believe its necessary to call the
matter to your attention for you will doubtless remem
ber when you go to the polls tomorrow that Cal Brosius
is Seward’s candidate for the legislature and has the
interests of this section at heart. He’s our own native
son. Whether you are Democrats or Republicans
Seward voters should cast their ballot for Brosius be
cause Seward needs representation in the legislature.
TOUGH LUCK
Just when we were all set to send down to Wash
ington some hot stuff in answer to Brother Woodcock’s
questionable as to our stand on prohibition, we get
another letter stating that it’s all off and the Prohibi
tion Director doesn’t want the views of the American
Press on this delicate question. Maybe its just as well
because some of our reasons would have burnt holes
right thru Woodcock’s filing cases.
We don’t know what the geographies now being
used in the schools of the States say about Alaska but
it must be something awful. Some of the questions they
ask Outside about this great Territory would make
your heair curl. Either the kids don’t tell their parents
what they know or else they are getting a bum steer
from their text books. One woman wanted to know
what language is spoken up here. Another thought it
must be tiresome getting fresh blocks of ice to sit on in
front of the igloo. Ho Hum, Watson. Get the needle.
EVAN JONES RESUMES
Announcement is made that
Evan Jones Coal Company of
Matanuska Coal fields will re
sume operations on Nov. 15 to
catch up on orders that have
been accumulating. This com
pany is controlled by the Oscar
Anderson and Z. J. Loussac in
terests of Anchorage and will
put 30 to 40 men to work when
production starts. They have
large fuel orders to fill since
their coal is experiencing an in
creasing demand along the rail
road belt.
HALL CLEANED UP
Sunday afternoon a number of
S. A. C. members had a regular
gala workday. They went down to
the Dreamland hall and after
sweeping the floor put the mops
into action making it look
as clean as a whistle. The back
boards (or bangboards) were braced
and repainted. An experimental
feature was painting of the
light switch handles in order to
make them visible in the semi
darkness and take away the dan
ger of getting shocked everytime
the lights are to be turned on.
THE FIGHT RACKET
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov., 3, (JP)
| —The state-wide investigation
! into the fight racket ordered by
' Governor Young begins in San
Francisco, November 6. That was
I the announcement made in Sac
remento by Allen B. Bixby of
Pasadena, director of the de
partment of military and veter
ans affairs, in whose hands the
investigation was placed.
Seward Shriners will hold a
meeting at the Arcade Club
Rooms Thursday night.
Mrs. Robert Manthey under
went a major operation at the!
Seward General Hospital today. ;
It is reported to have been sue- |
cessfully accomplished.
E. Meredith cf Seldovia had a j
quick market for the salted cohoes!
he packed during the Fall season,
according to the Seldovia Herald.
The pack consisted of 57 barrels j
and the fish found instant sale at \
12 y2 cents or about $27 a barrel.;
He would have had a bigger pack
with a longer season
WALKING LONG MILES
TO VOTE POPM-SOT
The voters at Lawing and also |
those residing in the lower Kenai
Lake district, seem to be out of
luck when it com seto voting this !
year. j
Probably to cut down the ter- j
rific overhead, the former voting
precinct at Lawing has been
eliminated this year the nearest
polling place being Moose Pass,
11 miles up the line from Law- ;
ing. i
Net result: About 30 lose their
right to vote by reason of the
fact it is too darn far to walk. !
The Gateway appealed to the
Alaska Railroad to furnish a
speeder which the railroad will
do at a service cost. So what the

POWER CHANGES
Electric energy from the Sew
ard Light & Power Company was
| shut down Sunday afternoon
| for several hours by reason of
| improvements made in the dis
! tributing system at the plant,
i A switch was made from the
| pole lines adjacent to the plant
I to underground tra nsformers
I which had been placed in con
| crete settings. From them the
I current is conducted some dis
j tance underground before being
| brought to the surface, thus ob
i viating a network of high-power
| lines near the plant.

notice
A Thomas B. Drayton has a paid
advertisement appearing in some
newspapers containing copy of a
letter he states was written by
me. The validity of his state
ment may be ascertained from
the fact that I was not in Alas

this alleged letter was written 12
years ago or in 1918. I arrived in
Alaska in 1921.
