A HAPPY INDICATION
Yesterday at the local Methodist parsonage the Rev.
Wm. A. Thomas of the Episcopal Church, and the Rev.
Father Markham of the Roman Catholic Church, were
dinner guests of the Rev. and Mrs. Thomas Philip Gra
ham. To The Gateway this appears as a happy indica
tion of a growing spirit of harmony and fraternity among
the different denominations of organized Christianity.
The Gateway does not in the least pose as an authority on
things religious, nor church procedure, but it does believe
that in their entertainment of their guests yesterday, Rev.
and Mrs. Graham exemplified the true spirit of Christian
ity, as did the two reverend gentlement in accepting their j
hospitality. In this case The Gateway believes all true:
friends of Christianity will agree.
ICE MOVEMENT EXCITES MANY
Most of the betting in Anchorage
on the Xenana ice pool is on the dates
between May 1 and the 5th, according
to Saturday arrivals in Seward. How
ever, there are also a number of two
to one bets that the ice will go out
before the 1st of May.
DOUBT SLIDES WILL OCCUR
No snow remains anywhere in the
lowlands between Anchorage and Mile
<10, according to Seward arrivals, nor
from Hunter to Mile 14. Between
those points, there is a little snow,
•insufficient to cause any slides or mag
nitude, i; is believed. The rotary crew
however, is still stationed at Indian,
and in case of slides coming down,
will be assisted by crews from the
work trains, nearby.

OLDSMOBILE SIX, SPORT MODEL
In First Class Condition
This car belongs to D. C. Brownell,
proprietor of the Liberty Theater, who
is at present in Seattle on business. Mr.
Ogle, of Ogle’s Garage, received a tele
gram from Mr. Brownell asking him to
dispose of his car at once and to sell it
“dirt cheap.” Anyone interested may
inspect the car at Ogle’s Garage.

This simple, easily used,
inexpensive machine:
1— Records cash and
charge sales;
2— Records sales by clerks
or lines;
3— Classifies money paid
out;
4— Quickly and accurately
adds and multiplies all
figures.
Stops the Leaks That Steal Your Profits
Only a dime—10c! That is the
usual net profit from each dollar
of retail sales.
When a mistake occurs. When
carelessness creeps in. When wrongs
change is given. When charge
sales are forgotten. Then this 10c
profit dwindles—often fades away.
You need the Sundstrand to safe
guard your profits—to stop leaks—
to end guesswork in your business.
I
It will do it easier and give you
speedier results than other meth
ods. Never forgets—never lets
clerks forget. Always ready for
adding or multiply in g. More than
pays its way.
A demonstration proves all. Let
us show you sample page from the
Sundstrand daily sales record book,
reproducing register work and dis
tribution of totals. Write or tele
phone at once.

Be sure to see the Sundstrand on display in the sam
ple room at the Van Gilder Hotel.
