BURNING OUR OWN COAL
It is gratifying to note that the Light-house Ten
der Cedar is taking on a bunker load of coal at the
Port of Seward. It comes as sort of an entering wedge
which may mean that all government boats in Alaska .
waters will soon be doing likewise.
This is a matter that very evidently should be con
sidered by investigating committees who come North 1
for a few days to ‘‘help” smooth away our ills. Every
government function in Alaska should be using Alas
ka coal. It seems too evident for argument but it is a
long time getting recognition.
CALL OF THE BLOOD
Anthony E. Karnes, superintendent of schools at
Ketchikan who is Democratic candidate for Commis
sioner of Education, has had the virus of Alaska in his
blood since he was a boy. He got that because mem- j
bers of his family had the same inoculation before him,:
and thought so well of the North that they must per
force write books about it.
Instead of reading dime novels, Karnes read about
Alaska and before he had shed short pants decided to
have a part in the stirring things happening in this
land. Now he is here helping to make good citizens out
of our younger generation.
It is a safe bet that if he is given direction of edu-!
cational affairs in the Territory he will see to it that
evei y Alaska boy and girl gets a thorough ground. ng|
in the lore and history and present status of our coun-j
try first, last and all the time. j
GUARD A COAST THAT NEEDS IT
Once more the papers of Southeastern Alaska are)
hurling protests against the removal of Alaska Coast
Guard cutters to southern waters during the . winter
time, repeating the well-known truth that winter is
the time when Alaska waters should be patrolled if at
all.
The Gateway wishes to add its voice to the chorus:
and will go them one better by repeating our old plaint
that if southeastern waters are bad enough, the south- i
western are worse and that a Coast Guard Cutter
should be stationed in these waters the year around.
Cordova wants a cutter stationed there; we dont care
where it is stationed just so long one is near. Cordova
is a good point.
there’s a thousand miles of bad going, out West
and the men of the sea do not venture forth in summer
alone. There are more of them on the waters then of
course, but there are many of them out for food fsh all
winter or moving from port to port on their various
concerns. If the government can afford to employ
whole fleets on the Eastern Seaboard to play ring
around-arosey with the hootch hounds, it certainly
should be able to keep a boat out here to take part in
this game of life and death.
The ultimate destiny of Far Westward Alaska,
fantastic as it may seem, is that populous centers will
one day be the rule rather than the exception. Families
will slowly settle out there; in turn other members of
these families, friends, etc., will arrive; a small com
munity will start, a school house, and so on; from
a settlement sprouts a town; gardens, trees. There is
no reason why this will not be so for its climate is said
to be far more ideal than European countries located
in the same latitude.
Recent flops on the wet and dry question illustrate
how elastic a politician’s convictions can be.
A man does not grow old; he grows lazy.
PREMIER GOER HIS
SIMPLER NEW MINE
VANCOUVER, B. C. Oct. 17. —
Premier Gold has examined and
sampled the Lome mine, adjoining
the Pioneer mine, in the Bridge Ri

The Pioneer has been developed to
a depth of 1.000 feet and for a
length of 1,500 feet. It produced
gold to the value of $80,000 during
the first half of this year; addition
al power was developed and was
put into use at the end of June
The July output was valued at $25,
000.
Lome Gold Mines, promoted by

been idle since the firm of brokers
assigned. Prior to that a long tun
nel was driven to open four veins
at an additional depth.

Gateway Readers:—
Since it is impossible for me
Lo meet aii 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 work.
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 trulv, A. E. Karnes,
Superintendent of Schools,
Adv. Ketchikan, Alaska
