GIVE THEM ROOM
Far be it from such that Seward should be known
as a one-boat town—that is, that only one boat can load
or unload at a time. And yet during the past summer
big freighters had to lay off in the roadstead waiting
their turn while the big mail and passenger liners nosed
up against the one and only railroad dock to discharge
cargo in supercilious disregard of the fact that per
diem expenses raced along on the freighters just the
same as on the aristocrats.
There are two or three reasons why Seward should
have more docking facilities, chief of which is the fact
that she hasn’t enough now and is in no way capable of
handling any increase in tonnage which is bound to
come. Quicker coal-loading facilities should also be in
stalled at the same time; coal, reindeer and wood ex
ports give promise of becoming a real item in the op
eration of the Alaska Railroad.
DA VINCI’S WHEELBARROW
Leonardo da Vinci, born in 1452, the illegitimate
son of a Florentine lawyer, is considered by many to
have been the most universal genius the world has ever
produced. His activities embraced all the fields of art
and science in his day.
While he is best known as the painter of Mona. Lisa
and The Last Supper, he was also accomplished beyond
his contemporaries as sculptor, musician, military en
gineer, astronomer, botanist, anotomisb geologist and
what not.
But great as were his contributions to art and sci
ence, the most lasting benefits which he conferred upon
mankind were probably in the line of mechanical inven
tion, although many of his conceptions were not devel
oped practically until centuries later. It is said that he
invented a flying machine that would have been a suc
cess with a modern motor, for which the world had to
wait another 400 years.
One of his inventions was the wheelbarrow, which
simple as it appears to us, has been one of the greatest
labor-savers ever devised through the application of
pure mechanics. It sefcms strange to us that so many
centuries elapsed between the invention of the wheel
and that of -the wheelbarrow.
That da Vinci was the first to hit upon this humble
but most useful means of transportation is added proof
of his genius.
HERE'S A THOUGHT!
Now that so many new stamp issues are printed
in the United States to commemorate various historical
events, what’s the matter with the All Alaska Chamber
of Commerce making application to the Postal Depart
ment to print an issue commemorative of the Purchase
of Alaska. What a publicity wallop for the Territory
that would be! What do we care if they stick a glacier,
towering, snow-clad Mount McKinley, or pictures of ice
igloos on it; or fertile fields of ripening wheat or mag
nificent blooms. Just give us a stamp and we’ll die happy

TENTIARY

PHILADELPHIA, Oct., 9, (^—Al
fred Norris, New York broker, was j
exonerated by the United States j
circuit court of appeals of complici- |
ty in the case of Joel Kerper, so- I
i called “society bootlegger.”
i In freeing Norris the court re- j
| versed a ruling of a lower court j
which held the purchaser of liquor |
I could be penalized as an abettor of j
I illegal transportation. The high j
court decided purchase could not j
be punished under the federal law |
even if transportation were involv
ed.
Norris was found guilty some time
ago of conspiracy to violate the I
prohibition law and finded $200. j
Kerper. who pleaded guilty, was
sentenced to 15 months in the pen- j
itentiary and fined $20,000.
TRAIN WRECK
STATENFORD, Ky., Oct., 9, (JP)— .
Sixteen persons were injured, one \
seriously, when five cars of a Louis- j
ville & Nashville passenger train
were derailed at Cedar Creek Hill,
eight miles north of here.
James M. Longhurst and Lee j
iPulver were injured on the Gla
cier highway, Juneau, last week, ;
! when their car went over an em
bankment.
NOISE CAUSES DIVORCE
NEW YORK, Oct., 9, (TP)—The
city’s din is blamed for the bulk of
divorces here. As Dr. Paul V. Win- J
slow, nerve specialist, expressed it i
in an address, in a great majority
of cases one will not find anything j
very seriously wrong except irrita- !
bility due to the rumble of traffic,
screeching brakes, riveters and the '
like.
LARGE FINANCIAL LOSS
TORONTO, Oct., 9. UP)—Repre- |
sentatives of nearly 900,000 building
trades workers made plans to end
international strife in building
trades which has caused large fin
ancial loss to builders and mechan
ics in the past few years.
According to a telephone mes
sage at the office of the Gateway
today from Anc’n rage, no trace j
has been found in the search for
Aviator Russell Merrill and his i
plane who will soon be missing a
month.
