A GREAT YEAR FOR SEWARD
The year of 1924 will be a great
year for Seward. Already signs point
to a building era unsurpassed since
the founding ol the town. Workmen
are excavating for the big Tecklen
berg concrete business block and lor
the large Ogle garage; which with
the Benson building and the new gar
age planned by H. E. Ellsworth will
give the town four new, modern
structures. The recently completed
fish hatchery at Grouse Lake will
give employment to several men, and
the local sawmills and cannery will
use half a hundred more.
The San Juan Cold Storage opened
for the season the first of the week,
and perhaps a quarter of a million
pounds of fish already have been le
ceived. With the advent of the New
England Fisheries, the pulp mill and
the Signal Corps personnel, our popu
lation will be increased several hun
dred and our business by thousands
of dollars.
The past winter has been one ol
the best experienced by Seward, bank

lion mark, and our stores adding to
already large stocks.
Several new concerns have estab
lished businesses here this spring,
with several more yet to come.
Seward may look tor a banner busi
ness year.
GARDENS
Today a man told us his only real j
extravagance was flowers. He sent,
them to his friends on every occasion |
and on any excuse, “Say it with ilow
ers” to him meant literally, he felt
flowers did deliver his message.
One cannot help but feel that flowr
I ers do have a personality. We speak
of the “bashful violet,” of those paler
blossoms which a pale sunchiue nour
ishes; the “pure lilly,” which grows in
retired places, and which is so emble
matical of purity and virtue. There
seems to be a flower connected in
some manner with every feeling and
sentiment.
We think of Magnolia blossoms,
; when one mentions the South; Eng
land is associated with the rose; Scot- i
land the thistle; France the lily—and
to the Japanese a flower is consider
ed the gift of the sun and the soil, and
has a sacred significance—they tell
their calendar in blossoms.
With them first in the spring comes
the plum, which is loved of the night
ingale; then the cherry blossoms, the
bloom of royalty, followed by the wis
taria, the water-haunting iris, the peo
ny flower of prosperity, the lotus, sug
f gestive of spirituality, and, finally that
Autumn glory , the chrysanthemum,
! which native horticulturists have de
veloped in 29 color varieties. H Aland
has always been known for its tulips,
and many stories have been written
i around its mysteries.
I Pasadena and Portland are two cit
ies that have become famous because
of their flowers, Portland the Rose
City and Pasadena, the City of Flow
ers. So if flowers do talk, Seward gar
• dens could deliver quite a message for
us this summer and with trees lining
our streets, making bowered side
walks, Seward, “The Garden City,”
would be a fact.
GATEWAY TO ENLARGE
--
The Gateway is fast approaching
I the thousand mark in subscriptions,
i and before the middle of summer
1 will probably exceed that mark. And
j the best part of it is that nine-tenths
j of our list is from westward and lo
j cal points. That the paper is meet
ing with the approval of the readers
of this district is shown by its
growth. New machinery has been
installed, including a new typesetting
machine and a new book press, and
the rapid increase in work from Inte
rior points shows that our prices are
not considered exorbitant. The Gate
way expects to be publishing eight
pages by August I, with a laigely
augmented press service. Could we

LARGE INCOMES
OF DRY FORCES
PROBED IN OHIO
CLEVELAND, April 26—Following
disclosures that special deputies work
ing under the provisions of State dry
laws have been making in some in
stances more than §40,000 per year,
and that justices of the peace, may
ors and village marshals and town
ship constables having their places of
business in and near big cities have
been making fortunes in the same man
ner, the entire state has become em
broiled in a discussion of dry law en
forcement methods.
After a decision by Attorney Gen
eral C. C. Crabbe that men employed
by the state can only be employed on
a straight salary basis, Prohibition
Director B .F. McDonald, at the di
rection of Governor A. V. Donahey,
summarily dismissed more than one
hundred “card’ deputies, who received
as their compensation a portion of
the fines assessed by justices of the
peace for alleged violations of the dry
laws.
Methods Attacked
Hard on the heels of this officer’s ac
tion Judge John M. Killitts, of the
United States District Court, at To
ledo, wrote to the governor and the
attorney general a scathing denuncia
tion of alleged methods of law en
forcement followed by justices of the
peace and constables in the neighbor
hood of Toledo. He declared that
gross irregularities had been commit
ted and that, in his opinion, some of
the men whose duty it was to enforce
the law had been guilty of extortion
and other crimes in connection with
its operation.
Similar stories come from all sec
tions of the state. Citizens declare
their homes are invaded on illegal
search warrants, while at the same
time bootleggers continue, they say,
to ply their trade unchecked. An in
vestigation just completed by the state
disclosed that in one county—Jeffer
son, more than $60,000 had been col
lected illegally by law enforcement of
ficers.
As a result of these disclosures, Gov
Dohaney and Attorney General Grabbc
the one a democrat and the other a
republican, are conducting independent
probes of the conditions existing with
regard to enforcement of liquor laws
throughout the state.
