A copy of Volume 1, Number 1, o.
the Seward Gateway, a small, five
column, four page paper, was printed
Friday, August 19, 1904, the editor be
ing Randall H. Kemp. In his saluta
tory Editor Kemp says his first im
pression of Resurrection Bay are fa
vorable and that the day is not far
distant when a large city will arise on
the spot where Col. A. W. Swanitz
and his little band of pilgrims landed
on the head of Resurrection Bay to
begin the work of building the Alaska
Central Railway.
The paper is well patronized with
the names of many well-known old
timers being seen' on its pages.

MIMlS Or HOPE
PkY EULOGY DEPORTED
HOPE, Apr. 21.—Owing to the un
usually high esteem in which the late
Mr. Altamon Knight of Hope was held j
by his neightbors and friends, both
here and in all the surrounding vicin
ity, the people of Hope feel that it is
Quite in keeping, even at this seem
ingly late date, to in some small way
pay tribute to his memory in print,
not only for the purpose of revealing
to the readers thereof that there are
those in the world who value true
worth wherever found, but who are
glad and ready to eulogize where hon
or is due; as well as to set forth the
true occurrences at the tLime of his
passing away.
During his residence in Hope Mr.
Knight endeared himself to all who
were privileged to know him. He was
the ever-ready friend, the untiring
physician and the devoted neighbor
to all who came within his magnan
imity. . The hour was never too late,
the weather too severe, or himself too
greatly indisposed to minister to those
in need of help, whether of one na- '
ture or another and the grief felt by ■
those of his friends who knew him
best, and who rendered him such last
assistance as was within their under
standing to bestowr, is indeed keen in
the loss of one so much beloved.
Before coming to Alaska some 27
years ago, Mr. Knight was a resident
of Hoquiam, Washington, as well as ol
Pendleton, Oregon, and was a native
of the state of Iowa. Deceased was
66 years of age. He wras a member of
Pioneer Igloo No. 9. He w'as stricken
I with paralysis on the morning of
March 30, and lived but a few hours,
surrounded by many of those who lov
ed him best. He was conscious to the
’1 last and stated that he was willing to
go, now that his time had apparently
come, and all his affairs were in or
II der at all times, as is true of all
splendid mentalities; so when the
( j time came to leave no, confusion ex
isted for correction by those remain
ing behind.
j In the passing away of Mr. Knight
1 the community has suffered the loss
of one whose place will not be easily
filled. He was laid to rest in tin
Hope cemetery, simple funeral serv- j
ices being held at his late residence, i
