THE United States Supreme Court
ruling that American ships can sell
liquor aboard but must no* bring it
within American waters is a great
deal like swimming without going
near the water.
The Seward Fire Department made
a gallant fight this morning against
grass fires which threatened *he city
tor a time. The training undergone
by the men came in good stead.
Nenana is reported to be suffering
an epidemic of influenza, with one or
two cases in a serious condition. It
is time that Seward took precautions
agains* the intrusion ot the complaint.
Natives to the westward are ported
to be suffering with the influenza,
eight deaths being reported from the ,
King Cove district. It is hoped that
a repetition of the disaster of four
years ago will not be repeated, when
hundreus died for lack of timely aid.
Saturday’s paper will have intereat
ing correspondence from Wood Island,
Chignik, Unalaska, Unga and La-1
touche. The Gateway has the best set
of correspondents of any paper in the
Territory.
We neeo a good correspondent i t ,
Gi:dwood and other towns along ’.be
railroad between here and Anchciag2.
Why not earn some easy money wilt
ing and keep your camp before the
public eye?
Anchorage is all fussed up over the
city council importing a town chief j
oi police from Cordova. Where the i
citizens made a mistake was in not
electing a council composed of Cordo
vans.
The Saturday Gateway will contain
an article showing the eannerymen's
side of the fish tax controversy. It is
to be admitted that the cannerymen
have a strong case against the Alaska
legislature.
The Foster literacy bill and the
woman’s jury bill were the two most
important bills in the legislaturet this
session. There was no-kick back from
either and no expense attached.
Alter tomorrow nothing will remain
of the Territorial legislature but the
damage done.
Two millions in appropriations to
be used in governing less than 20,000
people is pretty high government. A
town of this size in the States would
spend about $200,000 and have more
results and less taxes.
The Third division should be proud
of the record of its senators and rep
resentatives. With the exception ot
Staser and Murray, who vcted against
the woman’s jury service bill they
showed 100 per cent efficiency with 0
radicalism.
Representative Keys of the Fourth
division proved one of the most con
servative and conscientious oi the
delegation from the Fourth division.
He was so good he should be return
ed next session.
The traveling public should not be
able to kick against the efficiency ol
ihe present train schedule. They step
from the boat to the train and from
[lie tirain to the boat. While it is hard
an the lodging houses and hoteis ii
must feel good to the passengers.

It is certainly remarkable what the
movies can do. The other night w<
saw the heroine plunge into a sti%am
to rescue her poor old father and the
next picture showed her in the same
frock all nice and dry, with her hair
not even mussed.
Billy Gagnon pulled a like movie
stunt yesterday afternoon, only he hit
the rocks on the shore of Lowell
creek—and is sore yet. No movies
for him, he says.
A popular girl is one who doesn’t
believe in true love but believes in
steady love.
Many men who claim to have the
dearest wife in the world often wish
she were the cheapest.
More than auto owners are worry,
ing over dollar gasoline. We still
clean our own clothes.
Maw Creek says: ‘‘When I git to
thinkin’ I ain’t much account it alius
cheers me up to visit Sallie Young an
see how much nastier her kitchen is
than mine.
A man may be in the red and still
feel blue.
The man who succeeds best wrhen
he works for others is the man who
sees that he is also working for him

wreckless one.
Live your life so that when you
die the neighbors will miss your bor

About the only man who never over
sleeps is the feller who does not have .
to get up.
Abe Blossom sez the beauty of uv-1
in’ in a town where the people quar
rel all the time is that purty soon
there ain’t any business to work at. 1
There ain’t any motor runs as
mooth as the agent talks.
More worship and less warship is
etter than a league of nations.
A good day’s work starts the night
efore. Fox-trotters take notice.
A local dealer in tubes advertises:
Invite us to your next blowout.”
The only thing as worthless as a
rerman mark is the button on a coat
leeve.

WHERE the eyes of visiting friends rest first, there
signs of wear should be covered and brightened up.
Porches and steps can be brightened with Fuller’s
Porch and Step Paint. This paint will withstand
grinding heels, scraping feet and scrubbing.
Then, for the house itself, the pergola, porch balus
trades, the window frames, etc., there are Fuller’s
Pure Prepared and Phoenix Pure Paint. These paints
are made of Pioneer White Lead, pure zinc, pure
linseed oil and pure colors, perfectly combined in
correct proportions.
Whatever your painting need, W. P. Fuller & Co.
makes a paint for the purpose. There is a local agent
or dealer who sells Fuller paints. Our Service De
partment will gladly mail a little “Home Service”
booklet. Why not buy your paint, or write, today ?
