ILL CONSIDERED STATEMENTS
Ray Lyman Wilbur. Secretary of the Interior, now
has another hot problem up before him in addition to
the shale oil scandal which was recently dropped on
his desk by Ralph S. Kelley, a divisional officer of his
department. This later one has to do with Alaska and
was brought to the attention of the secretary by
Earl Frederick of Tacoma, who tells Mr. Wilbur that he
is “vitally interested in the development of Alaska.”
Mr. Frederick calls the attention of the secretary
to a general circular issued by the General Land Of
fice, Aug. 19, 1930, which he says carries not only in
sufficient" but also erroneous information about Alas
ka in saying among other things, “There are no known
producing oil and gas fields in the Territory.”
Mr. Frederick politely requests of the secretary
how he can reconcile that statement with another
statement in Bulletin No. 719, issued by the U. S. Geo
logical Survey to the effect that oil has been produced
in commercial quantities in Katalla field in Alaska for
many years.
We don’t know what Mr. Frederick’s business is
but we heartily agree with his complaint that the state
ment in the General Land Office circular instills a
sweepingly wrong impression in the layman’s mind re
garding the oil possibilities of Alaska, and also agree
when he suggests to the secretary that some supple
mentary reference should be made to the Geological
Survey Bulletin in the misleading circular from the
land office.
In other words, Wilbur should get the boys to
gether.
ANY PLACE BUT SEWARI)
We are now getting able to understand the trans
fer of a game warden from the lower nver country oi
the Interior to the Westward. It has lately come to
our ears that there has been a considerable traffic in
illegal furs from the Westward, amounting to several
thousand dollars and that a recent shipment that went
through the Port of Seward was seized by the govern
ment in Seattle and confiscated.
These matters will doubtless come under the jur
isdiction of the new Westward warden, at Kodiak, who
will have his work cut out for him by reason of the
vast extent of territory he must cover.
And in the meantime, with respect to a warden in
Seward, the Game Commission will probably lock the
stable after the horse gets away. Seward is the key
hole for the whole works but the commission seems
to have been wearing smoked-glasses for some yeais.
AGAIN THE GATEWAY WINS
After a year’s advertising contract with the mak
ers of that wonderful remedy “Sargon,” The Gateway
receives telegraphic instructions to stop the ads. Evi
dently this means the nation is cured.
Among the valuable services recently rendered by
the Department of Agriculture is the distribution ot
a pamphlet telling how to keep grape juice from tei
meriting.
Senator Nye threatens newspapers which publish
criticisms of his campaign investigating committee.
Senators are strong for criticism, but don’t like to be
on the receiving end.
A psychologist declares that women are happier
than men. At least they seem to enjoy their unhappi
ness more.
The average man’s delusion is the idea that he wil
some day get out of debt.
STARS GREAT SUCCESS
Nearly 85 guests were present at
the Odd Fellows’ Hall Tuesday nite
when the Odd Fellows and the Re
bekahs entertained the Masons and
the Ladies of the Eastern Star.
It was pronounced one of the ;
most enjoyable parties of the Fall
season. It was a sort of a “good- ;
bye’ ’to the Masons and their la- I
dies,since these organizations have |
for a long time past utilized the ;
Odd Fellows Hal for their meet- !
ing place but have now trans- j
ferred their activities to their own j
fine new quarter in the McMul- j
len buildihg.
Cards were played until 11 o’
clock when the assemblage moved j
; down stairs and danced until
twelve. As a fraternal offering the
hosts then presented the guests !
with a beautiful floor lamp.
SS YUKON TONNAGE
| The SS Yukon of the A. S. S.
Co., enroute to the Port of Sew
ard from Seattle, is carrying over
250 tons of diversified cargo for
this port. The variety includes
! airplanes, musk oxen, telegraph
poles, an automobile and a cow,
besides the usual tonnage of gen
eral freight and merchandise for
town and rail points.
The Alaska Standard of the Stan
dard Oil Company arrived at the
company’s Seward dock this morn
ing and is discharging oil.
O’Neel Peak (Mount O’Neel)

Gateway Readers:—
Since it is impossible for me
to meet all the readers of this
paper personally, I am taking
this means of informing you of
my qualifications for the posi
tion of Commissioner of Educa
tion for the Territory of Alas
ka, wich position I am seeking
at the general election on No
vember 4th.
I am a college and university
graduate, having studied an
equivalent of two years beyond
the requirements for the A. B.
degree. During these two years
of post-graduate study, I have
specialized in the field of school
administration, and have cover
ed every phase of the wotk.
I have had 17 years experience
in school work, consisting of
experience as a rural school
teacher, high school teacher,
high school principal, grade sup
ervisor, and city superintend
dent.
With the special training and
wide experience noted above, I
am sure that I am very ade
qautely qualified for the posi
tion, and if selected, will give
the Territory an administration
of its schools that will be in
keeping with the best practices
of the times.
You will find my name on the
Democratic ticket.
Yours very truly, A. E. Karnes,
Superintendent of Schools
Adv. Ketchikan, Alaska

“Untamed”
A powerful story of a young white girl brought up in the
jungle, away from all other white people—her father
dies just as he becomes wealthy from oil; she is taken
by a guardian to civilizatin—plots and counter plots to
marry her, and her falling in love with the first young
white man she sees, leads to a series of climaxes that
make the best kind of entertainment.
