ALASKA PRICES MEET OUTSIDE
“For years we have specialized in printing tor mer
chants in Alaska. As an extra inducement we are offering
a new tool which will be of much service around a store.
Our special offer of 500 letterheads, ruled or unruled,
colored or white, and 500 six and 3-4 envelopes, postage
paid to any part of Alaska, for $9.75 is stiU good. Or it
you wish, you may have 100 of each for $18.75.”
The above is a letter recently sent to Alaskans by a
Seattle printer. The Gateway does not think it is taking
in too much territory in saying it is doubtful if there isn’t
h printer in Alaska who wouldn t tuin out, and does,
printing jobs at that rate. In fact, in the laigei quantity,
the average Alaska print shop turns it out cheapei. But
one can't help noticing no reference is made to bonded
paper stock. There are many grades of bond paper and
Alaskans, when they purchase their supplies locally, get
the best on the market. And in Alaska, you get hand
work. not machine-fed jobs; which means something, too.
But it*s the same old yarn we have so oft said, every
dollar sent away from home, just kiss it goodbye toi
ever whether it is for hardware, lumber, groceries, or
socks.
THE AMAZING LINDY
Another epoch-making teat of aviation must be
credited to Charles A. Lindbergh, who on Easter Sun
day covered the distance of 2,530 miles between Los An
geles and New York in 14 hours. 45 minutes and 15 sec
onds, beating all previous records nearly three hours.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Lindbergh.
If his fame rested solely upon his New York-Paris
flight, it might be thought that he was merely lucky in
performing a spectacular stunt. But his subsecjuent pet -
formances, the latest one of which was flying the aii
mail to South America, have been convincing of his con
summate skill, which has been put to the severest tests
time and again. Now if he will make a flight to Alaska
we will all be satisfied.
The largest construction contract in the history of
New York has been awarded for the construction of 30
buildings at the new Pilgrim hospital on Long Island,
at a cost of $10,297,128. That is a lot of money, but it
could hardly be spent for a more worthy purpose.
MOUNT VERNON
In 1932 the nation will celebrate the 200th anniver
sary of Washington's birth. It has been suggested that
this occasion be marked by the purchase of Mount V er
non, his home and last resting place, by the government.
This national shrine was saved for posterity by the
patriotic efforts of the Mount Vernon Ladies Associa
tion which took over the property in 1859. It is main
tained with its priceless historical relics through the
charge of a small fee for visitors who view the premises
in great numbers each year.
Congress should purchase Mount Vernon outright
and present it to the nation and to the world on Wash
ington’s 200th anniversary.
With reference to a news dispatch from Honolulu
that the carnivorous species of shark infesting the
waters there devoured two missing fliers who fell with
an army bombing plane into the ocean, we are informed
by local seamen and fishermen that sharks do not at
tack and eat human beings.
We read that the American public now consumes
$75,009,000 worth of 5-cent packages of peanuts a year.
At 20 packages for a dollar that would mean 1,500,000,
000 packages. And if there were 971/2 peanuts in a pack
age that would mean—well figure it yourself.

George Phelps, former well
known resident of Seward but for
the past few years located in San
Francisco, has sent friends of his
here, interesting items from the j
San Francisco Call Bulletin, one of j
particular note being an article
telling of Father George J. Feltes’
missionary work among the Eski
mos and Indians in Alaska.
Father Feltes is a Jesuit mission
ary of San Francisco, and although
only 34 years of age, is the first
minister of the Gospel in the world
to receive a commercial pilots li
cense. His plane, the “Marguette”,
is the first in the world to be used
for such a purpose, and is a six
passenger cabin monoplane fitted
with skis as well as wheels. A j
radio and stretcher, also first aid I
and food supplies are to be added !
and aid can easily and quickly be |
conveyed to injured or sick per
sons.
Father Feltes expects to make
the rounds of his 17 scattered mis- I
sions, a territory of approximately
25,000 square miles, in a week with
his plane, whereas the same trip,
by dog team, formerly required
nearly six months to complete. He
'plans to hop-off for Holy Cross on
June 15.
