REV.~T. P. GRAHAM
RETURNS FROM
TRIP SELDOVIA
Thomas Philip Graham, minister
of the Seward Methodis't church, re
ceived his first real Alaskan jolt
this morning, he stated to a Gate
way representative, when one of
the leading citizens of the town
asked him when he was going over
to Seldovia. The jolt part came in
at this point for evidently his recent
absence at Seldovia of two or three
weeks had not been noticed by the
local man. However, Rev. Graham
is a good-natured man and he freely
,admits the joke is on him. He re
turned to Seward yesterday morning
on the steamer Starr following his
first visit to the thriving Cook Inlet
town and as he states it, “was treat
ed royally by the residents of Sel
dovia for whom he has achieved a
decided liking.”
Two church services were held in
the chapel at Seldovia, on a Sunday
and Wednesday. The Sunday service
was attended by 83 citizens and the
Wednesday service by 52. This was
quite remiarkable, Rev. Graham be
lieved, owing to the small number of
residents. However, though the
church is conducted by Methodists
they work in the interests of the
other Protestant institutions as well.
Rev. Graham is already looking for
ward with pleasure to his next trip
.to the Westward. His congregation
at Seldovia is likewise hoping that
be may return soon and often there
after.
Rev. Graham had the novel exper
ience while' at Seldovia to preach
a fiftene-minute service at the Lipke
broadcasting station. It was his first
.attempt to broadcast a sermon and
in view of this fact he is-quite anx
ius to learn just what stations pick
ed up the sermon. To the Reverend
goes the honor of broadcasting the
first sermon in the Territory and
; word to that effect was telegraphed
| to the Associated Press by the Gate^
,way today.
Seldovia is generally quiet during
: the winter months, and it is so at
[ ,the present time. The winter popu- I
! lation is estimated at about three
i hundred and they are all splendid
1 people, Rev. Graham stated, irre
spective of church relations.
Mr. Trumble, who was to have
jbeen in charge of the local musical
program at the Methodist church
yesterday morning, slipped on an icy
walk yesterday and was unable to
i .carry on, so Rev. Graham, at a few
moments’ notice, rendered a sermon
Which was much appreciated by the
congregation.
(Mrs- Frances Nellie Peterson, wife
of Fred Peterson, died at 11 o’clock ;
Tuesday night at St. Ann’s hospital
at Juneau of pneumonia. Mrs. Pe
terson was a pioneer resident of
i Alaska having first come to the
territory in 1897. She liater went to
Oregon and returned again to Alaska
in 1910. Before her marriage she
I was Nellie Frances Slumber.
W. S. Pekovich, wrho is the mov
ing spirit in the Alaska Admiralty
Gold Mining Company operating at
Funter Bay, returned from an East
ern visit this week and, it is under
stood will resume active operations
on his property. Mrs. Pekovich ac
companied her husband north.
During no time in the past have
the outlying districts been so quiet
from a standpoint of infraction of
the law' as at present, reports the
District Attorney’^ oflfice at Fair
banks. Wire and written complaints,
usually quite prevalent at this sea
son, are lacking, and from the sur
face all appears calm and peaceful.
A very small numlber of criminal
cases appear on the calendar for
the general February 1926 term of the
district court.
Thomas S. Yeigh was appointed
on January 2 by Marshal Gilbert
Stevens to fill tihe vacancy in his lo
cal staff caused thru the resignation
of Ben F. Thompson, says the Fair
banks News-Miner. Deputy Yeigh,
who has been employed in Fair
banks for several months as an in
terior decorator with the Andrew
Nerland company, brings to the local
office a fund of experience, as he
has given several years to criminal
investigation.

THE SEWARD
Weekly Gateway
Will be published every Friday, the
lirst issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE m
Hie field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly 1000
copie0 It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and Ter
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries. The Seward
Weekly Gateway will have nearly exclusive entry to the vast district west of Sew
ard owing to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of correspondents
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect m a weekly paper.
We believe this new venture will prove sucessful inasmuch as it will offer an adver
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published m Seward, for a time at
least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublication, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $—00 per month.
