Much favorable comment is being j
received on the Gateway’s proposition
to name the new station at Mile Two
“Dunlap,” in honor of Seward's well
loved and popular local missionary,
responsible for the removal of the
Home to Seward. Rev. Dunlap has
worked hard for the betterment of
Sewrard since he was stationed here,
a number of years ago and we should
show our appreciation of his services
by perpetuating his memory by the
naming of what promises to be a well
patronized station after him.
‘‘Seward stores have the finest
stock of goods I have seen on the
Northern trip,” observed a tourist to
a Gateway representative this week.
‘‘It is surprising to me to see the va
riety and quality of goods carried in
a towrn of this size,” he continued. ‘‘In
the States towns of ten thousand pop
ulation would not have as fine stocks
as neatly displayed.” And he spoke
words of truth. Fewr towns in the
States can show the stocks carried by
local merchants, and few towms can
boast of as clean, wrell kept streets.
Sewardites who are prone to com
plain about the vagaries of May cli
mate should take note of today’s dis
patches and rejoice that they live in
the banana belt of Alaska. With parts
of the nation freezing and other parts
frying in extreme heat, wre are not
so badly off as we might be if we
lived in other localities.
Without attempting to boast wTe ask
our readers to peruse this paper care
fully. We believe you have never
seen as much news condensed into
a paper in Alaska before. Our tele
graphic and local service covers prac
tically every item of interest happen
ing over Sunday and there is several
hours good reading in our tabloid
columns.
With four boats in port today and
tomorrow business appears to be fair
compared to other ports. The Dis
covery, Northwestern, Cordova and
Watson are contributing their bit to
day, while the Santa Ana and another
freighter are due tomorrow.
Seward has a large number of dis
tinguished visitors today, including a
number of members of the legal pro
fession.
J. P. Hannon, city clerk for the
town of Seward arrived on the North
western from a tri pto Valdez, in
which town he transacted some le
gal business for the city.

BOARD REGENTS
COMPLETE PLANS
ALASKA COLLEGE
New Wing Will Cost Ap
proximately $35,000, and
Be Ready this Fall
The Board of Regents of the Alas
ka Agricultural College and School
of Mines at its meeting last week
completed arrangements for the build
ing of three additional structures on
the campus, a dormitory, power
house and a wing to the main build
ing, according to E. F. Medley, mem
ber of the board, who arrived in Sew
ard Saturday from Fairbanks, where
he attended the session.
The new wing will cost approxi
mately $35,000, the dormitory $25,000,
and the power house $18,000. The
regents decided that the best plan
would be to purchase the materials
direct and to contract for the labor.
Failure to receive adequate bids on
the labor will result in the college
officials doing the work by day labor.
It is likely that necessary excavation
has already been started.
The new dormitory will accommo
date thirty-six men, and in an emer
gency this number could be increased
to fifty-four. The dormitory will solve
one of the problems which has been
facing President Bunnell. It will al
low students from^ others parts of
Alaska and from the States to enroll
with surety that they will be ade
quately housed at modei'ate cost. The
dormitory facilities will be open to
short course students.
The work of the college is progress
ing splendidly under the leadership
of President Bunnell and his staff of
efficient teachers. Its equipment both
in nature and extent is a constant
surprise to visitors. The fine spirit
of cooperation between the president
and his subordinates augurs well for
the success of the college. The
courses are tending to four main
lines, Mining, Agriculture, Home Eco
nomics and Business Administration.
Mr. Medley believes if the parents
of Alaska were fully advised of the
facilities at the College more stu
dents would be registered from the
other divisions. In many ways the
College has unique advantages, and
these advantages will be emphasized
when the dormitory, new wing and
power house are completed. Chief
among the advantages of a small col
lege is individual attention from the
professors and the ability of the Pres
ident to Iteep his watchful eye on ev
ery student and aid and assist him
in his progress by personal consulta
tion and advice.
President Bunnell has proved a re
markable administrator as well as a
competent educator. The College in 1
his hands can confidently look for
ward to increasing usefulness to the
Territory, and to a future which will
in time stamp it as the outstanding
institution of the North, one bound
to have a great and good influence
in the permanent development of the
resources of Alaska. The youth of
the Territory are to be con^ratulted
on the opportunity now presented
them for higher education under con
ditions which will ease the minds of
anxious fathers and mothers faced
with the problem of sending their
children away from home. Such pa
rents can send their sons and daugh
ters to Alaska’s own College and rest
assured that their surrounding and
companions will always be of the
the best.
i The regents created the office of
Dean of the College due to the neces
sity of placing some one in authority
during enforced absences of President
Bunnell. Professor Ernest Patty was
selected for the new position. Prof.
Patty has been in charge of student
activities and is well qualified for the
post. It was also decided to ask for
the establishment of a postoffice at
the College. This will have several
advantages. It will give the college
better service, save expense in trans
| portation, give part time employment
to two students, and give quicker
service to prospectors and miners
sending mineral samples to the col
lege for assay. These assays are
made at a nominal cost of one dollar
and are of great service to mine own
ers.
The new buildings will be ready
for occupancy by the time the fall
j term opens. Inquiries are being re-.
ceived by the College indicate an in
creased enrollment for next year.
This term will end with one gradu
ate, Miss Jamie Cameron, who will be
the third student to receive a degree
from the College. Commencement
exercises will be held next month,
and the Commencement Speaker will
be Colonel James Gordon Steese of
Juneau, who is a Trustee of Dickin
son College in Pennsylvania.
President C. E. Bunnell will arrive
in Seward next Saturday on his way
to the States, where he will receive
a degree of Doctor of Laws, from
Bucknell College, in Pennsylvania, in
recognition of his 25 years in Alaska
as teacher, lawyer, judge and pioneer
college president.

(NOTE: This play came with the advice that it was unfit
for young people to see, and so we asked three ladies to sit
as a board of censors to advise the management as to the ad
mission of minors. The entire picture was run yesterday after
noon before Mrs. C. C. Hinde, Mrs. H. S. Balderston and Mrs.
L. V. Ray, who advised the management to deny admittance

parents.)
