Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, 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 steadily—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."

Indoor Ball Game Tonight;
Mighty Giants vs Yanks
Monday night’s scheduled baseball
game between the Yanks and the
Giants was called off owing to the ar
rival of the Admiral Watson which
necessitated most of the Giant squad
having to attend their various duties,
but the game was only postponed
until tonite for they mix at the hour
of S this evening. Barnett will hurl
for the Yanks and Bud Dyer for the
Giants. Hopkins will probably sup
port Dyer but Barnett contemplates
running in a dark horse for a catcher.
New Rail Official Rose
from Private to Captain
N. M. Lack, recently appointed by
Noel W. Smith, as assistant to the
general manager, has had a remark
able military career, remarkable in
that he entered the army during the
late war as private Lack and emerged
Captain Lack, of the Engineering
Corps, 15th Infantry. Upon returning |
from overseas, and following his dis
charge, he was appointed as Com
mander of the American Legion
Post at Hanover, Penn. His own
home town. Mr. Lack resigned as
commander of the* post upon accept-1
ance of his Alaska position.
While Mr. Smith and Mr. Lack
"were in The Gateway office a few
days ago, Mr. Smith commended Mr.
Lack’s ability and paid him the com
pliment of admitting Mr. Lack was
even a better railroad man than he
was good looking. And he is a fine
appearing chap!

Brothers and Sisters
Reunited in Seward
By error the name of E. P. Wurz
baeher, a passenger on the Admiral
Watson, was turned into The Gateway
office, as the brother of Mrs. Charles
Lechner and Mrs. George Schmitt.
This was entirely incorrect, their,
brother being Werner Lange. The
young man arrived direct from Leip
zig and will make his future home
in Seward. He will be employed as
a mechanic at the Seward Machine
Shop plant.
Another brother, Wm. Lange, is ex
pected to arrive next Saturday from
Seattle on the S.S. Northwestern. He
also, will remain in Seward with his
sisters and brother.
Unalaska Trader Back
from Siberian Voyage;
Had Successful Trip
_ I
Capt. A. C. Goss returned recently
to his home at Unalaska in his trad
ing schooner, Everett Hays, after a
successful season among the islands
to the far westward between Unal
aska and the Siberian coast. In ad
dition to his trading operatons Capt.
Goss has several fox islands of his
own and usually spends the winter
in the vicinity of Atka. He is as
sisted by his nephew, Paul Willis,
Chief Engineer of the Everett Hays.
They report this to be the mildest
winter in ten years and an excellent
trapping season. There are three
native villages among this stretch of
islands, Umnak, Atka and Attu. Capt.
Goss did not reach Attu this season
which is the last island belonging
to the U. S. and about 250 miles
from the Siberian coast. This voy
age is made twice a year taking
mail and provisions to these places
as there is no regular means of sup
ply. The coast guard cutters make
occasional trips in summer and the
Bureau of Education boats go htere
about once each year. The Aleutian
Fur Co. operates a trading schooner,
the Emma, with Capt. Schroeder in
command. The fishing grounds in
these waters are unexcelled'and the
largest codfish in the Aleutian group
are to be seen around Atka.
The last of the inside finishing
work of Wrangell’s new $40,000 hos*
pital is just being completed and it
will be ready to open its doors for
service within a very short time.
The building and equpment is a gift
to the community from Bishop Rowe
of the Episcopal church.

“EAT AND TRY TO GET FAT,”
IS CLAIRE WINDSOR’S MOTTO
Claire Windsor is perhaps the most
envied girl in moition pictures. Claire
is on a diet. It is a most unusual
diet.
When Miss Windsor started work
on “The Dixie Handicap,” Reginald
Barker’s new picture for Metro-Gold
wvn-Mayer, now playing at the Lib
erty Theater, she was ordered by her
physician to watch her calories. But,
oh boy! Claire wasn't trying to get
thin, she was eating for weight.
The epidemic of fruit and liquid
food, to say nothing of baked potato
and milk, lamb chops and pineapple
diets which hit the feminine members
of the film colony who viewed in
creasing plumpness with alarm, meant
nothing to Miss Windsor.
The richest of cream, the thickest:
of steaks, cake, pie. candy,—every
thing the poor “must get thin” star j
shuns, were on her diet list. And ’
what made the others maddest was 1
that after a month of this sort of;
life Miss Windsor had gained only
a pound and three quarters.
“The Dixie Handicap” was written
by Gerald Beaumont and adapted by
Waldemar Young.
ODD FELLOWS, ATTENTION!
Next meeting night, March 25th,
matters of vital importance will be
brought up for discussion wherefore
a good attendance is suggested. There
will be an entertainment after the con
clusion of business.
Work in the Second Degree.
