OUR SPECIAL EDITION
The special edition of the Gateway
forged ahead another inch or so last
night when the common council con
tracted for a double page spread in
the big issue. The council’s action
was based, not alone on a desire to
help the edition to the success it is
destined to become, but rather to save
money for the town by making the
edition take the place of the annual
booklet issued by the city. That it
will do this is assured, as it will be
larger, have ten times the reading
matter, and a half dozen times the
illustrations. In fact it will be the
best thing ever turned out in any part
of Alaska, and we don't mean maybe.
Already the edition has exceeded the
32-pages planned, as increased adver
tising space has caused the publish
ers to arrange for forty pages.
Parties desiring special copies can
have them mailed in a specially print
ed wrapper, by leaving the addresses
at this office to which these papers
are to be sent.
Mr. George Palmer of Kenai looked
the proposition over yesterday and
was sold. The Airship Company, Nels
Hagen, and dozens of other out-of
town hustlers have contracted for
space.
Seward will have a half page cut,
one large enough to show details, and
the front page, drawn by the Gateway
artist, is one of the best things we
have seen turned out. Mr. Jessen is
an expert with his pen, and could
command a large salary on outside pa
pers, if he had not preferred to remain
in Alaska.
Many of our special articles are ar
riving and are being placed in type.
GREAT MEN.
In his still well-known calendar of
the world’s great men, from the dawn
of history down to about 1820, Au
gusta Comte included only 559 names.
And to get this number he includ
ed such tiny stars as the American
novelist, Fennimore Cooper, the Eng
lish dramatist, Thomas Otway, and
the Italian composer, Donizstte.
That many men who might be
called great are not recognized is
one conclusion that may be drawn
from this. Doubtless this is true to
day. The man who invented the type
writer has affected the lives of mil
lions. Judged by the benefits he has
conferred this inventor might well
be called great. But how many
know that the typewriter was devis
ed by Christopher Sholes, a collec
tor of customs at Milwaukee, in
1867?
That recognition of greatness is
ATTENTION!
COURT WITNESSES.

Airship pictures will be a diversion
from fish cases. Come up and see the
pictures and ask any question about
the freight and passenger craft, the
ore carriers, and heavy duty aircraft
for local and long distance service.
Right over the bank, plenty close
enough to court house. Bring your
pipe and come early and ooften. Noth
ing on sale, no obligation; just sim
ply welcome—come every day. Give
us your confidence,

an accident is another conclusion to
be drawn from the old list of the
world’s great men. Men are much
alike, however greatly their achieve
ments may vary. Greatness, one may
conclude, is merely a label attached
to a few who are little different from
their fellows whom none calls great.
