By this time next week the readers
of The Gateway will undoubtedly
know who the president will be.
While the Gateway believes that Cool
idge will be elected, there is always
a chance for a mistake in the best
made calculations. The presidential
election does not affect Alaska so
much as will the election of good
men to represent us in the territo
rial offices. We believe there is no
doubt of Dan Sutherland’s election as
delegate to Congress, as Dan is un
beatable and will hold the office un
I
til lie piles up opposition enough to
overthrow him. The race between
Roden and Rustgard will not even be
close, as Rustgard will probably se
cure ihe votes of the Sutherland sup
porters. Bartley Howard will be elec
ted senator, and the entire republi
can ticket will probably go in with
one man to elect from the democrats,
either Wilcox or Rucker, both good
men, and very able to represent the
Third division. Whoever wins will
give us the best representation pos
sible, so there is little need to get
excited over the results. On thing
certain, the next legislature will have
a problem before it. Greater reve
nues must be raised from our re
sources, and taxes are already too
high. The logical way to reduce tax
es would be to eliminate a large
number of cumbersome boards and
the tax collectors, having these taxes
collected by the commissioners of the
several precincts. The present meth
od takes a large part of the revenue
to pay the collectors and the rate for
collecting should be lowered to five
per cent. The pension fund must
be increased and also several other
funds. To do this without raising
taxes will be a hard problem.
Seldovia, our busy little neighbor
to the westward, enjoyed one of the
most prosperous years in its history.
More newT buildings and new enter
prises have appeared in the town
than at any time in the past quarter
i of a century.

Tis not the gift but
the spirit of the giver
Christmas Cards, steel hand engraved, are
much more appropriate than costly gifts,
and a great deal more economical.
For those many friends and acquaintances,
the Christmas card carries the real holi
day spirit.
A very elite and distinctive line of hand en
graved cards has been added to our com
mercial job department.
Twenty-five to the box, envelops to match.
Please place your orders early.

The only question now puzzling the
average Alaskan is how God made
so many school ma’ams and made
’em all so nice.
If John E. Ballaine elects his man,
Seward will have to be enlarged to
hold the number of improvements
he will send here.
Persons leaving Alaska for Cali
fornia should make arrangements for
their drinking water beforehand. Cal
ifornia has a better climate but we
lay it all over them on good water.
One of the hardest things to ac
complish is to convince Seattle that
Alaska lies north of PJlIiott Bay.
One thing is certain. If the
stretch of railway between Seward
and Anchorage were to be torn up,
it would eliminate all kicking. There
would be no one left to kick.
Kodiak is marking time awaiting
the arrival of her promised cold stor
age plant, and in the meantime is
reaching out after every new busi
ness offered. A half dozen new firms
and half a hundred people have gone
to the island metropolis in the last
six months. All that the westward
needs is publicity and lots of it, to
reap the benefits it has long been
entitled to.
If oil is struck Christmas Day at
Kanatak the oil camp will need a
larger stocking to hold its gift. A
good big gusher would make even
Sanat Claus forget to go south.
The many tie camps started up in
this vicinity mean several thousand
dollars spent for labor and supplies.
An example of what a small payroll
may mean to a community is shown
by the payroll of the local sawmills.
If the present excellent weather
keeps up another month it means
a mighty short winter. Parties leav
ing Alaska to spend the winter in
the States will undoubtedly find bet
ter weather here than in the States.
Have you ever stopped to think
that when you were young jou were
as great a nuisance to the community
All Hallowe’en as the average young
ster is today. Some of the pranks
played forty years ago were pretty
raw.
If your windows are soaped to
night try a little hot water and a rag
on them. Hallowe’en is about the.
only time some windows are ever
> washed.
With several million dollars to be
spent in the Fairbanks district next
year the resultant properity should
slop over to the other railway towns.
Six persons are to be shot in Rus
sia for killing a newspaper editor.
We suppose it comes hard but the
law must be obeyed.
Since we canndt do all the print
ing in Alaska we necessarily do only
the best.

BIG MASQUERADE TONIGHT AT
A. B. IIALL—PRIZES GIVEN
Anybody not having masquerade suits can
•ent same in building next to A. B. Hall.
Two Hallowe’en dances will be held
in Seward this week, the Liberty
management giving a masquerade
ball at A. B. hall tonight, and the
Odd Fellows giving its dance Satur
day night at their hall. Devotees
of terpsichore need not complain of
plenty of exercise. Mr. Burns has
brought in a large number of fancy
costumes for his dance tonight, and
an interesting time is promised those
who attend.
About four years from now, if sca
lisTics amount to anything, Sewaid
will have so many fish in its bay.
that another cannery may be started
and maintained. Several million fry
will be turned loose by thelocal hat
chery, and like the old sourdough,
they always come back. The value
of the local hatchery ■will be shown
belt/T by this time, and there will
be fish for everyone.
If Dumas had lived in Alaska he
would have never written about the
“The Three Muskeeters.” It would
have been a million or more, and
the reader wmuld have dizzy reading
their adventures. In the old days
the mosquito had hard pickings, as
the old-time leather-neck wa3 tough
chewing. But with the many chee
chacoes and others flocking to the
territory pickings are ea»y.
There is always a fly in the oint
ment. Every time our collections
come in some man pops in with a
bill.
