TO OUR PATRONS.
In order to avoid any misunder
standing on the part of patrons, it is
customary for this and other papers
in Alaska to charge for all advertis
ing, local and otherwise, where a
charge is made in turn. Lodges who
advertise will receive notices of meet
ings and special meetings free; but
will be requested to pay for dance no
tices where admission is charged. This
custom has been generally followed,
but there appears to be some misun
derstanding about it.
If The Gateway is to continue pub
lishing it is necessary that we get ev
ery cent possible, as our monthly ex
penses are enormous and our receipts
limited.
It appears that Seward is to have
Standard Oil tanks despite all the ob
stacles thrown in the way of the in
coming industry. Recent messages
from the company’s representatives
state that negotiations are pending,
and that they need no help from Sew
ard. It was hoped that these tanks
would be in operation by the first of!
May or June, as it meant dozens of!
halibut boats and other vessels calling
at Seward. If we get them in time ;
for next year’s operations, we shall be <
thankful, however.
Governor General Leonard Wood
would make a desirable candidate for
President on the Republican ticket, in
case President Harding carries out his
intention to thrust the United States
into European affairs willy nilly. A
third party candidate might also be
elected, as the people are between the
devil and the deep sea, with the Lea
gue of Nations bugbear on the demo
cratic hearth, and the World Court
craze in the stables of the Republi
cans.
The strike of Industrial Workers
and members of the Red organizations
in the United States, shows that a
huge membership exists despite ef
forts to stamp it out. It might be well
for the government to banish these
malcontents to some island in the Pa
cific where they could work out their
theories without harm to others. We
trust the island will be the other way
from Alaska.
The present Territorial legislature
can point to one fact with pride. It
has been one of the most expensive in
the history of Alaska.
We can see now why the taxes on
canneries were made so high. It was
to finance the Territory the next two
years.
Seward’s trade with Kanatak is in
creasing each boat, and if it grows
much larger the steamer Starr will re
quire a trailer.
With seventeen new cars in town
the question is where are we to run
them. The 18 miles of road to Lake
Kenai will be too short to accom
modate all the vehicles.
Watch Kanatak grow after oil is
struck there next month. We look for
a camp of 1000 persons by the middle
nf .Tulv.
MINING MACHINERY SHIPPED
Indications of mining activities of
the interior were noted among the
freight shipments on the Northwest
ern, a large number of pieces of ma
chinery being scheduled for shipment
to points along the railroad. Perhaps
the heaviest shippers were the Fair
banks Gold Dredging Company, oper
ating on Fairbanks creek, 28 miles
from the town of Fairbanks. The
property upon wrhich the dredge is en
gaged is of some extent and many
more years will be required before
the ground has been wrorked out. The
Mt. McKinley Gold Mining Company,
in the Kantishna district, also receiv
ed quite a shipment of hydraulic sup
plies and it is expetced that this con
cern will produce heavily this year.
Mrs. Ira Bailey will leave Thursday
of next week, to join her husband, the
well-known painter, who has been in
the interior metropolis the past few
weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey will make
their home in Anchorage.
Sergt. Thos. E. Ayers, quartermaster
corps man at Valdez, returned to the
glacier city on the Watson after pay
ing a visit to Anchorage.
