Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the North/land, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and 6teadiiy—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead."

WHEN IS GREEN INK GREEN?
The ink fountain on the big cyl
inder press was cleaned out and
green ink put in in honor of St.
Patrick’s Day, which was yesterday,
but the readers of The Gateway
would hardly have known it as the
ink was such a dark green that it
is barely distinguishable from black.
Anyway, we endeavored to celebrate
the Day in our own feeble manner.
