Now that the summer season is well
. upon us and real live news is as live
as ever, the editor takes advantage
of existing conditions and answers
, a few queries which have been ac
r cumulating in the question pigeon hole
of his desk. The first is from Phil
• adelphia and is as follows:
I "Are there any Skunks in Alaska?"
■ Answer:- This is not their native
■ habitat, but one or more have been
[ imported and located at a consider
E able distance from Seward. They are
S of the biped variety and have a little
; intelligence; they use their wits in
■ knocking the Alaska Railroad and
: other legitimate enterprises.
j Number two comes from Chicago
{ and is given entire:
j "I am a young girl, only 18 years
■ of age. I have a lovely disposition
■ and am considered quite handsome.
E Besides these attractions, I am fairly
E well educated. My fondest desire is to
■ meet some desirable young man who
1 is comparatively poor, but who in
J time will have immense wealth. I
! wish to teach him to love me while
j he is struggling, marry him on the
I eve of his financial success, as by
| that method we will enjoy the riches
| better. I am willing to do all I can to
| assist such a young man until the
i time comes when he realizes his am
bitions. Surely there are many ’ such
as I desire in Alaska. Can you give
me the name and address?”
Answer:- Address Jack Skimkat,
Moose Cabin street, Seward, Alaska.
Number three is dated Seward, Al
aska, and is as follows:
"Have you any need of a journalist
to report the doings of the Ladies’
Athletic Club? If so, what are your
requirements, and how great a salary
are you willing to pay?”
Answer:- Such a reporter is needed
, at this office. He will only be accept
I ed on the following conditions: first,
| he must whip Jack Dempsey, then
| train himself ufltil he weighs 350
| pounds, nearly his entire weight
! must be muscle; he should have the
speed of a deer and be prepared to
run at any time; an indemnity bond
in the sum of $250,000, with John D.
Rockefeller, J. Jierpont Morgan, and
the Bank of England as securities,
must be filed with the Gateway to in
sure it against loss or damage. You
will be required to pay your own
doctor’s bills if injured and funeral
expenses if killed. The salary will be
S50.00 per week, one half payable to
yourself, the other half to your heirs,
administrators or assigns.
MARQUAM FAVORED WESTWARD
Politics is occupying the major por
tion of everyones time to the West
ward, arrivals on the S. S. Redondo
report, and according to the present
outlook, Thos. Martjuam, candidate
for delegate to Washington from Al
aska, will carry the entire district by
a large majority.
What tourists and visitors to Ko
diak Island think of that district can
be summed up with the phrase most
often heard, ‘that Kodiak is a beauti
ful town and the entire island inter
esting.’ •
Gill Rich, Alaska representative for
the Black Bear Company of Seattle,
is still to the Westward but expects
to return to Seward on the south
bound trip of the Admiral Evans,
week after next.
