HURRAH FOR THE ALASKA WEEKLY
Seward is grateful to the Alaska Weekly, of Seattle,
for choosing a Seward girl, Miss Patricia Ray, as then
candidate for the “Queen of Alaska contest which will
be held this winter in Seattle under the auspices of the
Seattle Press Club of which prominent organization
Earle W Knight, editor of the Alaska YV eekly, is presi
dent. The award to the winner will be a trip around the
W°r A full account of the contest, which will be held
during presentation by the Press Club of the Circus
Maximus/’ appears in other columns of this issue.
The Alaska Weekly’s candidate will have the back
ing of every man, woman and child in Alaska, and fiom
a local standpoint, the Alaska Weekly will have the back
ing of all, in putting “Patsy” “over the top.” No lovelier
or more charming girl, of Alaska’s many, could have
been selected, and Seward, especially, is immensely
proud one of its daughters was signalled out by the Alas
ka Weekly as their candidate.
Certainly she will win!
FINANCIAL JUGGLERS
The financial jugglers have lost a round. Congress
adjourns for recess without adoption of a tariff sched-,
ule. , , . ,.
Almost simultaneously we read statements from big
financial jugglers to the effect that a coalition in Con
gress which refused to allow of further pilfering of the
public pocket by prohibitive tariff walls is responsible
for the toboggan in the New York stock market.
This sounds very much like a confession that, panics
in the nation are, like wars, due to the machinations of
the worshippers of Mammon. In other words, '‘Give us [
what we demand as a small group of money changers or
we will play Samson and pull the national edifice down
upon—you!”
The edifice would have been toppled as it was m
1C06—7 but for the national fortress, the National Re- j
serve bank system. In the recent demonstration of the
danger that lurks in a predatory money power the Fed-;
eral Reserve banks were given a test that bespeaks the .
soundness of the system.
Thus we see a striking contrast in the logic of the j
two main political powers. It was a Democratic admin
istration that gave us the Federal Reserve Bank system
along with the income tax. Both measures are expres
sive of democracy’s demand for protection against a
predatory plutocracy which apparently has no bounds
to the lengths it would go to accomplish gain at the ex
pense of the many.
Now that the lawmakers of the nation have been
brought face to face with the full sordidness of Wall i
Street, it will be interesting to observe if the Republican
party will emerge carrying the confidence it carried
when the landslide was accorded President Hoover, or
yield to this dangerous force standing ready to plunge
the nation into a panic if permitted to do so
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
As far as the Gateway is concerned we are inclined ‘
to favor the suggestion put forward by Leo P. Bott, Jr., j
of Little Rock, Ark., that the name of the Territorial
flower be changed from “Forget-me-not” to “Fireflower.”
He bases his suggestion on the fact that Alaska's “Fire
weed” is magnificent in its beauty and abundance as
against the fact the beautiful “Forgetime-not” grows
profusely throughout the states; that “Fireweed” would
and is more distinctive of Alaska.
We would like to know what others think about it.
All is quiet on the Potomac! Meaning that no word j
has been received from Washington as to what the ap-!
propriation committees are going to do to Alaska. They
told us while here last summer, that they were our
friends. A friend when one is in neen is a friend indeed.
Senate insurgents refused to accept the regulars'
offer to surrender on the tarif, because that would have
left nothing to fight about.

Capt. Heinie Berger’s attempt
to have set aside the charge of
$1 per day for the privilege of
tying up to the government own
dock in Seward, failed, he states.
In a letter to C. H. Holmes,
acting general manager of the
Alaska Railroad during the ab
sence of Col. Otto F. Ohlson, Cap
tain Berger explained he has
his vessel moored to the govern
ment dock instead of placing it
in dry dock for the winter be
cause during the winter distress
calls are inevitable and he de
sires to keep his craft in readi
ness for emergencies.
It will be recalled the heroic i
work performed last winter by j
Captain Berger in going to the
aid of the S. S. Starr, in distress
to the Westward, and other in
numerable ocassions when he was
the first to respond to calls for
assistance
The lack of a shelter harbor j
and the terrific southeast gales
that sometimes sweep Resurrec
tion bay, especially during the j
winter months, are a constant
danger to boats that moor here
and for that reason it is not ad
visable to anchor in the bay.
The expense of keeping his
boat In constant readiness is
borne solely by him and the ad
ditional overhead of $30 per
month is a real handicap that
only adds to his burden of main
tenance.
In reply Mr. Holmes wrote that
the register of merchant vessels «
indicate the M. S. Discoverer is
of 21 net registered tons and is
53 feet long. That, according to
the tariff, the charge is $1 per
day and he does not see that
the railroad would be justified
in making any change in the
rate.
In making comparison of the
rate with those charged at the !
public docks at Portland, Ore., j
he found the charges on the M.
S. Discoverer would be $1.32 per
day; at Seattle $1.06 per day.

Rogers to spend the winter Outside,
rhey expect to visit relatives in
Boston and the south before re
turning.
