SUBSCRIBERS COMPLAIN
Subscribers along tlie route of the
government railroad are complaining^
and The Gateway has lost a number
of subscriptions because they do not
get their paper. Complaints have been
received that papers reach the sub-!
seribers with wrappers gone, the pa
pers torn, and others declare they do
not receive the paper at all. For the
benefit of those not receiving their pa
pers promptly we will state they are
placed in the postoffice at five o’clock
the day before the train leaves for
the Interior. They undoubtedly leave
the Seward postoffice, and just wherei
they go from there is hard to say. It
has been nearly impossible to serve;
subscribers to the north ever since!
The Gateway started, although sub
scribers in other directions have little
trouble. This has caused a serious
handicap to working up a large list
along the railroad, and the source of
endless trouble.
li each subscriber will kindly trace'
up his paper and find the cause for
delay by asking his local postmaster
when they reach his office, we may be
able to locate and stop the poor serv
ice.
The Gateway will place these papers
in the Seward office before five o’clock
the day before the train leaves. This
is all that can be done, without co- j
operation from our subscribers. Sub
scribers who fail to receive their pa
per will have their time extended, un- j
til such time as prompt service can be
assured.
BEWARE OF FIRES
Owing to dry weather Seward has
had more fires the past week than for
many years. The department has been
compelled to fight brush fires until it
became exhausted and every citizen
should be very careful about dumping
hot ashes into inflammable material.
No rain has fallen for about three
weeks and the woods are unusually
dry. Campers will help serve the pub
lic good by being careful of fires. Be
sure they are out before leaving them.
DOING EXCELLENT WORK
The Bureau of Public Roads, which
has charge of road construction in the
vicinity of Seward and on the Kenai
peninsula, is doing most excellent
work, their roads having the appear
ance of a boulevard when ocmpleted.
ance of a boulevard when completed,
cites the admiration of all tourists
who ride over it, and it is stated that
the piece of road from Mile 29 to the
Hope-Sunrise district, is equally as
good. It is the intention of Mr. J. B.
Reher, superintendent in charge, to
make these roads permanent from the
start. Gravel is being used profusely
and the bridges and culverts are as
substantial as can be built. It is hop
ed to connect the Kenai road to the
Moose Pass road in time, when a per
manent thorofare will exist from this
city to Turnagain Arm.
The Bureau is to be commended for
the excellent work being done.
And next Seward will be called upon
to entertain the Brooklyh Eagle par
ty. Everyone appears to coming our
way this year.
One way to get better babies is to
get better fathers and mothers.

XT is the eirect of rain, wind and sun
on the unpainted parts of a house that
‘’■weathers” it—that makes it age and
decay. But when a house is well painted,
the tough, elastic “film” of paint shields
the surface like a rubber coat protects
a man.
Ail Fuller house p.-tints trains, Pure Prepared
Paint, Phoenix Fere Print, P.uneer Shingle Stain;
and Concreta iPr stucco, brick and concrete sur
faces, have high protective properties as well as or
namental value. They are manufactured from for
mulas that are the result of 74 years paint-making
experience. Fuller paint products give long, posi
tive protection.
Get in touch with a master painter before the weath
er causes your house to show signs of decay. Or
write to our Service Department for advice and a
copy o<*the free “Home Service” booklet. What
ever vour painting need, W. P. Fuller & Co. makes
a paint for the purpose.
