The basketball team and coacli Gra
ham of Anchorage, were banquetted
last evening at the Seward Grill by
the S. A. C. and members of the Sew

a fitting farewell at the depot this
morning, prior to departure for their
home and school.

MY CACHE"
I have builded a cache on a lonely hill,
By the side of a desolate sea;
The lonely hill is the hill of the past,
By the waters of “Used-to-be!”
Far, in the heart of a mountain range,
A white wall twixt earth and sky;
’Tis there I have buried my treasured
goods,
I have hid them there, ’till I die.
I have fashioned the thing of wishes
1 I’ve made,
' Little sticks that always were
1 broken;
1 But I bound them securely together,
beloved,
With memories you gave me as
token.
I have set it up firmly on four strong
posts:
Hope, faith, patience and trust;
With these for foundation I know
full well,
My crude little cache will not rust.
My heart, my love—ah! even my life
■ They are here ’till the earth must
smash,
And only one hunter in heaven or hell
Can discover my secret cache.
—Laddie Kyle. 1
ONE STEP REMOVED
A mine superintendent who had
gone down into the lower levels to
talk to a crew of men imprisoned by
a cave-in was getting their last mes
sages.
"George” he shouted to one colored
miner through a narrow aperture, “are
you married?”
“Nossah,” answered a lugubrious
voice, “dis hyah am de wustest fix ah
eveh been in.”
Radio Reception Fine
Report Local Fans
During the past fewT days splendid
radio reception has been received
over the local sets, it is reported.
Saturday night and last night tele
grams from many portions of the
globe were heard. The broadcasting
stations at Salt Lake City and Den
ver, wThich stations have not been
heard from for some time, came in
strong all with fine musical programs.
COMMUNICATED
Editor Gateway:
The following statement is not an
opology nor sarcasm, but is a correct
interpretation of my feelings and
thoughts that I wish to apply to your
readers pertaining to my article con
cerning the splendid Thanksgiving
dinner given by Mr. Joe Hofman to
the guests of the Belmont house. I
wanted to bring the same feeling to
you men and women that I and a mil
lion others experienced in the latter
part of 1917 when I embarked for
overseas. Every person of conse
quence who were living at or near a
military unit gave to the men invita
tions to come to their homes and be
entertained. It made no difference
whether that man could deport him
self according to social customs or
whether he was impossible. He was
welcome just the same.
Then came the years following the
war and everything became more for
mal. There were no more invitations
to any homes for the war veteran.
True enough, his credit was good with
the landlord, the butcher, the baker
or grocer, and it might be possible
•that some of his male friends who
were something or other during fhe
late war would suggest to their re
spective wives, “Let us bring Harry
Lyons to lunch.” But they may have
been overruled with such words as,
“we dare not; he is utterly impos
sible.”
It took a man like Joe Hofman, the
proprietor of the Belmont, who knows
our feelings down to the very core of
our hearts, to give us what we have
been craving for since the finish of
the war: “That crying feeling of com
radeship that is denied by the wall
of conventionality.” But Joe did not
see things in that light. He is a true
disciple of the Golden Rlue which
says: “Do unto others as you would
have others do unto you,” a quotation
which is often preached by many but
practiced by few. Mr. Hofman enter
tained us lavishly and well, and our
sincere thanks are extended to him.
The thanks of thousands of others
in the same fix go out to him.
HARRY LYONS.
