RICHARDSON MEMORIAL
Cal M. Brosius, Seward’s representative in the
Territorial Legislature for the Third Division, is a
member of the Executive Committee of the General
Richardson Memorial Association, and is highly elat
ed over the progress of the movement to erect a mon
ument to ‘‘General Dick” on the Valdez trail, now
known as the Richardson Highway.
Accordig to a letter from Governor George A.
Parks, tiie movement has progressed to the stage
where it can be definitely stated that such a monument
will be erected, under the direction of the Alaska Road
Commission. It will probably be of granite with a
bronze plate, the particular design now being under
consideration. t
Up to date approximately $800 has been received,
subscriptions coming in from Europe, South America
and many localities in Alaska. There are many places
still to be heard from. No “drive” is being conducted
but Mr. Brosius desires it to be known that any one
who may desire to take part in the memorial, may send
in his or her contribution to him or direct to the Gov
ernor’s office at Juneau. An appropriate certificate
will acknowledge the subscription.

EVERYONE BEGINS TO COUNT
Even this far away the little ones who are just be
ginning to lisp, “One-two-three” on their fingers in a
more or less successful endeavor to estimate the number
of long days before Santa Claus will come romping
over the hills with his reindeers.
The tired business man pushes back his chair and
smiles. (?) It cheers him to begin speculating on what
will make dear Susan and the kids happiest. Even we
hard-boiled cynics of the press who touch raw life in
Its deepest dregs ( ah hump!) feel a distinct tingle
of warmth around our cold hearts and resolve on
Christmas Day to buy old Snooks out there in the snow
clad alley one drink to warm his ageing arteries.
We too, have our Christmas impulses.
FEW COMING NORTH
A steamer leaving Seattle for Alaska is reported
to have one passenger for this port and the Interior.
He seems to be coming in spite of everything.
The question is,—what are the hotels going to do
about it? Will there be enough rooms to go around?
Will he have to be dismembered and a part given to
each? And wouldn’t it be terrible if he happens to be a
one-legged man?
They go by hundreds and they come back by one;
in single file. It will be some help if this brave man has
enough of Seattle and Vancouver hootch (well, maybe
he don’t) aboard to see double. We’ll try to see him
in any case. We’ll also go over the passenger list to see
if we’ve made another mistake.
Ah yes! And then a special train to take him north.
WHERE POPPIES GROW
California poppies grow larger and higher out at
Togiak in the Far Aleutians than they do in California.
The asters were loaded with lovely blossoms, accord
ing to the News Bulletin of the school service.
On Thanksgiving Day they plan a home-grown1
vegetable dinner with reindeer as the piece de resis
tance. While the poppies are blooming, sheep out that
way are developing a fine coat of wool. The rest of the
world who think we are huddled against an iceberg
and counting our breaths should read this and ponder—
Dial phones are working between Chicago and'
New York. Racketeers and gunmen can now transact;
intei state business with less chance of being overheard.
WATERS REACH H
MARK: LEI BDAO
INUNDATED EEW FEET
High tide on the Seward High- j
way, just south of Hill 60, ether- |
wise known as Chamberlain Hill,
probably swept all records from j
the board today.
The water at 11:30 a. m. was :
two feet over the road and nice
and cold. At least The Gateway
scouting party found it so. The
pathfinder party had gone out
in its Buick amphibion and made
the grade going out. In other
words the car got into the,
stretch of 200 yards of overflow
before it realized diving suits
had been left ‘to hum’ and there
was only one thing to do and
that was. stick with the ship and
| plunge thru.
| It was then found that the
aviation field was still there, and
i the radio station seemed to be.
all right. One poor field mouse, j
driven out by high water on the ,
flat, was seen having tough go- j
ing in the snow and narrowly 11

mariners. Right in the middle j
of the deepest water, the points
got wet and the motor stalled, j
If it hadn’t been for Cal M. Bro
sius (who, by the way was res
ponsible for all the grief) and
his sister, Mrs. Weybrecht, who
came along in their car and
pushed The Gateway chariot
out, we probably would be about
at Harding’s Entrance at this
time.
Today’s tide was probably the
highest of the year.
INDOOR BASEBALL
Indoor baseball is being reviv
ed by local professionals and ere
long it is expected that the
smack of the hemlock kissing
the old horse-hide, will again
resound with crashing salvos
against the frail walls of the lo
cal gymnasium. The ring-leaders
anticipate four teams will com
prise the winter league’s pen
nant race. More anon.
The new jail has been completed
at Kenai, and is ready and waiting
for a house-warming, it is reported
by the latest arrivals on the Dis
coverer.
NEW FAMILY ADDED
Jack Wilkinson, engineer of the
Discoverer will make his home
jin Seward after the boat finishes
; its next round trip to Kenai. He
will then be joined here by his
wife and daughter, now at An
chorage.
