THE NEW CABLE
... ' " ; , .
Reward is fortunate in having the
old, worn-out cable, connecting us with :
Cordova and Seattle, replaced by a
new cable recently constructed in Eng
land. The old cable had bpcome so
worn as to be well nigh impossible
to use, the leakage being greater than j
the amount of current at hand, and j
when it went peluk a sigh of relief
went up from Alaska businessmen,
who for the past twenty years have
transacted business over it.
The line is the latest type of sub
marine cable, heavily sheathed and
protected and capable of being work
ed duplex or two messages at the
same time. The force at Seward will
be increased by several men and this
point will be relay headquarters for
messages from the interior, Valdez,
and Cordova . The local radio sta
tion has worked strenuously to keep
business cleared, but so many mes
sages have piled in that the boys have
been forced to put in long hours. Much
credit is due the radio men for the
expeditious manner in which business

DEMPSEY TO WED AND RETIRE FROM THE RING
jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham pion of the world, has announced that ■
he will soon wed and retire from the ring. The lady of his affections is •
Miss Estelle Taylor, movie star, and she will also retire from the Silver j
Sheet at the same time. Photo show s Jack teaching Estelle how a prize !

tion.
The new line will give us direct
communication with Seattle and points
south, and will undoubtedly last many
years without interruption, as it has
been laid in deep water outside the
fishing banks.
The Alaska Examiner, published by
John Frame, once a resident of the
Third division and a long time resi
dent of Alaska, takes exception to the
endorsement of Governor Bone by the
Gateway, and also the Gateway’s en
dorsement of a literacy bill. While
we expected this we hardly expected
our articles to be twisted and distort
ed to make political capital for the
First division combination. The Gate
way stands for the literacy bill with
out equivocation and regardless of
party lines, believing that no man whe
cannot read or write, be he white, red
black or yellow, should be allowed tc
vote on questions he is totally unfil
to vote on by reason of his ignorance
In regard to the Bone controversy we
have always believed it the right oi
an individual to choose his friends
and if Frame does not like our Gover
nor that is Frame’s misfortune. Unti
the governor proves himself other thar
a friend to Alaska and Alaskans we
are for him.

EYE-WITNESS DESCRIBES FALL
GIANT METEOR AT JONESVILLE
Confirmation of the report pub
lished in the Alaska recently regard
ing the meteor which fell in the vi
cinity of Sutton, was received.
It was exactly 4:03 p. m. Thursday
of last week, when the meteor first
came into sight out of the heavens,
I falling practically due east and at
about a 20 per cent, grade. It was
visible for at least a distance of 8
miles and apparently landed in the
rugged peaks ten miles distant, on
, the south side of the Matapuska
j river near the headwaters of Car
i porter creek. That it landed at that
approximate place is almost a cer
tainty, it i3 claimed, for following
the meteor’s disappearance behind
Juiis peak a large flare lighted the
immediate area.
i “It was a beautiful sight to see,”
' the correspondent stated, ‘a‘nd at
' first when our attention was ar
'! traded to the spectacular and wierd
’ occurrence in the sky, my friends
\ nad myself were under the impres
sion that an airplane, afire, had met
with a catastrophy and was plung
ing to earth. A peculiar, receding,
elastic movement was percentible to
1 the lear of the mass of fire, as it
swept earthward. Sparks or explo
Isions of fire were also plainly no
jticeable during the course of the
' meteor. Though the day was bright
and clear with the sun shining, yet
a light far greater than any gigan
j tic arc was given off by the hurtling
j meteor.’
It is stated that the country in
j which the meteor fell is an extreme
jly rugged and dangerous to reach,
and it is believe that the only time
that it can bedefinitely ascertained
where the meteor fell and what it
| consists of, can be determined at
j that season of the year when a light
'snow covers the district. No earth
shock was felt by any of the mem-j
;bers of the party at Sutton who
! viewed the meteor’s fall and no !
noise was heard. One of the men!
said that wrhen he first saw the 1
meteor it looked like it was coming i
straight down then appeared to j
swerve and take the direction des-1
cribed previously.

BIG WHITEFISH IS
CAUGHT IN YUKON
(Dawson News.)
Jim Hughes caught a fish of the
Whitehall family in his salmon nets
recently measuring three feet one and
one-halt inches from tip to tip and
with a girth measurement of twenty
one inches, which tips the scales at
sixteen pounds. The fish is said to be
a common variety in the Mackenzie
river, where they attain considerable
size, but the specimen caught by Mr.
Hughes is one of the largest taken
from Yukon waters in years.
This variety of fish is known by
several names in the north, among
them being “The unknown,’’ the
“French synonym,” “L’inconnu,” and
the local appellation, “Anaconda.”

ANOTHER CASE!
Time-tested by a Resident of This
Locality.
Just another report of sickness and
suffering relieved by Doan’s Pills.
Another interesting case that tells of
lasting benefit. What can be more
convincing? Thousands recommend
Doan’s for backache, rheumatic pains, i
headaches, dizziness and distressing ,
urinary disorders. Doan’s are a stim
ulant diuretic to the kidneys. They
have helped thousands. Are recom
mended by many in this locality.
Mrs. J. R. Thompson, 308 W. Vic
toria St., Santa Barbara, Cal., says: “I
had a continual dull aching in the
small of my back and it bothered me
worse when I was about doing my
housework. I was troubled with a tir
ed, languid feeling and never seemed
to get enough sleep. My feet swelled
also. Doan’s Pills cured me complete
ly.”
THREE YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Thompson said: “I have had no re
turn of kidney trouble since Doan’s
cured me.”
