MARTIN S. BANBURY
What can one say at a time like this when such a j
man as Martin S. Banbury is taken from us? The ways j
of God above are indeed mysterious. Why was he called'
away in the prime of manhood? Mere words are pitifully!
inadequate to express the compassion, the tug of grief j
at the very heart-strings;-the sense of great loss which;
all in Seward feel at the sudden death of one whom they
loved sincerely.
Alaska, in common with Seward and Pacific Coast
shipping circles, mourns the death of Mr. Banbury who
was highly esteemed in both official and private life.
His death at sea Saturday brought a keen sense of per
sonal loss to business and social circles. His unfailing
courtesy and kindly interest endeared him alike to all
and he will long be widely mourned by a host of of
friends and acquaintances wTho admired him as a man, a
devoted husband and a never-failing friend.
Friends and beloved ones are never prepared for
Death’s arrival to take away from them one whom they
dearly cherish.
A dreamless sleep. One should not anticipate in
death that which is terrifying; rather, another daily
task is done, but this time followed by eternal sleep;
and well-earned rest.
Vade in Pace, friend.
ENGINEER PUS TRIP
IKA SHY THIS SIMMER
Probably during the present
summer D. L. Sawyer, mining
engineer representing Eastern in
j terests, and a brother to Ernest
j Walker Sawyer, personal repre
sentative of Secretary Work of
j the Interior Department, will re
! ".urn to Seward from the Interior:
! and go down to Nuka Bay to in- j
I spect that field and check up re- j
j ports which have been published I
' in the columns of the Gateway. |
! It is said that Mr. Sawyer will j
: remain in the Territory two years \
' and that the first property he is I
j investigating is certain ground in j
| the Kantishna.
IN NOTHING FLAT
S There hasn’t been many an
; nouncements forthcoming from
|the local A. L. Post as to what their
program is going to be for
! the grand and glorious Fourth of
[July but that fact has not de
i terred Alec Cown, local athlete,
S from training for the proposed
1 Marathon mountain race. The
| Gateway does not desire “to spill
t the beans” but the time this
| young stalwart has made the
circuit is rather astounding. Look
[out for him, boys!
GROCERY SALESMAN
A new and welcomed resident in
j this city is Edward Webb, formerly
| of Nome but of more recent date,
| Seattle. Mr. Webb, a sourdough
j of 10 years standing, is employed
| in the grocery department of the
! Seward Trading Company, and is
| known to many of the oldtimers
t as well as the younger ones.
• • •
Don’t tell a soul but unless the
crime reporter was cockeyed with
“mule” Saturday, he vows and
| declares fresh snow fell in those
mountains far to the rear of good
I old Marathon.
