NOW FOR THE FUN
Things were looking mighty dreary and there was
a dark haze on the moon. The boys and girls were in
the dumps and some of the muscle-bound he-men of
the city were getting out their crutches. It looked like
there wasn’t going to be any gym.
Then out of the murk there shot a bright light. A
representative group of citizens rallied to the last call
and closed the contract for the gymnasium after gener
ous concessions from the owner, and Seward’s program
of winter sports is on. Now we can get our basketball
teams going and begin sending out challenges to the
All-Americans or the Honolulu Hottentots or whoever
thinks he can toss the pigskin anywhere.
It gives the boys and girls something to do and a
place to do it. It may bring a new lease of life to the
rired business man. Seward may sometimes be slow in
getting into gear, but when she gets started there is a
bunch of smoke in her wake.
The selection of Win. R. Shellhorn as President of
the Seward Athletic Club, yesterday, was a most hap
py one, as well as each and every one of those who
were named to hold the various positions in the organ
ization. Shellhorn has been a consistent worker in the
club’s behalf since the S. A. C. was started five years
ago, and is well qualified to handle the reins having
active interest in all athletics. He has held some official
office every year and with the 1930-31 staff of assis
tants, one of the most successful of season’s for the
club can be predicted.
HE HAS IDEAS
Ever since his overthrow this fall, former Presi
dent Augusto B. Leguia of Peru has been much in the
papers. In fact in his downfall he has become better
known to North Americans than when he was in pow
er. He has been called the “Iron Man,” though he
weighs less than 100 pounds. He has also been various
ly termed a Lincoln, a Teddy Roosevelt or a Mussolini.
Strangely enough he had many ideas and put them in
to practice in his long years as president of Peru that
are applicable to Alaska and he had vision. Irvin Cobb, j
our famous writer, met him and liked him, and in part
had this to say about him:
Tt was Leguia who, out of a meager treasury,
found funds to inaugurate a plan of public driveways
and highways, which would do credit to a country ten
times as rich as his in developed resources, and wdiich
being completed, is going to form an essential link in
the continuous road that, as sure as youTe alive, will
one of these days, bind southern Chili to northern Can
ada, and make it possible uninterruptedly to motor
the habitable length of the Western Hemisphere.”
Mr. Cobb met and interviewed the president and
among the things he said which impressed Cobb was
this deep-freighted paragraph:
“Not long ago we paved a road leading back into
a district inhabited almost exclusively by an Indian
populace. In the year before that road was rebuilt,
1,000 bags of potatoes came over it to market. In the
year since it was rebuilt 100,000 bags came over it.”
. It happens that the piece of Gateway furniture on
which these words are written is a sturdy, well-built
table used not so many years ago in a gambling hall in
a hell-roaring Alaska mining camp. Sometimes, in the
still watches of the night as the editorial fungus gasps
and wilts, we hear the table commiserating with itself,
“My Gosh, and to think of the good stuff that once
went on over my head!”
