We believe our readers will say to
day’s paper is one of the best ever
issued in Seward. Twenty-two galleys
of type constitute its make-up which
is a record for the average Alaskan
paper.
The Gateway welcomes the teach
ings of Mr. Hamley, memory expert,
and trusts that he will have a large
class of students. It will be nice for
some of our subscribers and patrons
to remember the Gateway each month
without a mailed reminder.
Officers of a French transport w-ere
astonished by their discovery of a reef
50 miles long in the Bay of Biscay
wdiere the charts show a depth of
2000 fathoms. Scientists were set
agog and had visions of the long-lost
continent of Atlantis coming back.
An official investigation will be made
to determine the cause.
The mayor of Schoeppenstedt, Ger
many, is a believer in sports and is
a pretty good sport himself. After a
speech at a municipal swdmming pool
in which he praised athletics in gen
eral and swimming in particular he
plunged into the swimming pool, tog
ged in evening clothes and high hat.
His performance won him many lusty
cheers and no doubt made him solid
with his voters.
Reports from the Philippines state
that a small epidemic of head-hunting
has broken out in one of the remote
provinces where the Ilongote tribe
has appropriated the heads of fifteen
white neighbors. This tribe has a
custom which makes it quite the thing
for a bridegroom to present his bride
with several heads—those of Chris
tians being considered particularly
appropriate. There is nothing too
good for the bride.
Now corned J. P. Blair of New York
and others with condemnation of the
song, “The Star Spangled Banner,”
with its words breathing hatred of
Britain and its music borrowed from
a foul English drinking song.” Paid
advertising has been employed to pro
test against what has come to be con
sidered our national anthem. The re
former is every busy, and the only
thing which appears to suit without
drastic changes is death and the cem
etery.
! MEZZAN, Morocco, Sept. 8 (/P)—
AYnerican volunteer aviators fighting
with France against the Moroccan
rebels made their second bombing
trip over Sheshaun yesterday, drop
ping ten tons of explosives in the
streets. When the Riffians spied the
squadron of planes smoke signals
flared up giving warning of the dan
ger. When the airmen arrived the
streets were empty. The Riffians in
stalled a machine gun battery on the
mountains.
DESTROYER BRINGS BODIES
SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 8 (IP)—
The Noa arrived here today bringing

SEAPLANE COMES
TO GRIEF IN SEAS
AT CHUGACH ISLE
i FORCED LANDING MADE IN FOG
ON ACCOUNT OF PLUGGED
FEED PIPE FROM TANK
Aviator Merrill and Gus Gilles,
broker, who left Seward a week ago
for the westward via the airroute in
the Curtis seaplane returned to town
this morning, minus the plane, which
is now high and dry, and a complete
wreck on the south shore of Chugach
Island, southeast of Cape Elizabeth.
The plane w^as wrecked by heavy seas
after making a beautiful landing off
the fog-bound island, one and one-half
hours after leaving Kodiak Island.
While on their way to Seldovia from
Kodiak, pilot Merrill noticed the gas
feed from the overhead tank was not
registering on the gauge and being
under the impression the gas supply
was running low there was only one
thing to do which was to land on the
first available spot, which he did, thru
a dense fog which practically sur
rounded the islands. Before landing,
however, he planed down and looked
the situation over and then arose in
the fog to an altitude of 5000 feet,
: from which he located the only pock
et, down which he glided to a per
fect landing. Big breakers were
sweeping the beach, however, so at
the first opportunity the plane was
beached and tw’o heavy logs attached
to the sides of the boat in order to
hold the ship 'down from the strong
winds prevailing.
They then went to the fox ranch of
Mrs. Dwyer, where they were hospit
ably received and given a warm meal.
After resting they went back down
to the beach and discovered the wind
had torn one of the logs loose, turn
ing the plane and tbe other log com
pletely over on. its top wing and nose.
The wing was badly smashed. They
at once preceeded to cut the engine
out, took other equipment away, and
at the next high tide they cut off the
boat from the plane.
Using a bed sheet as a signal they
later flagged down a gas boat which
was en route from Bristol Bay to Cor
dova, with a crew of five men on
board, and Mr. Gilles made arrange
ments to be taken to Seldovia. Most
of the boat’s crew were left on the
island while the trip wTas made, the
understanding being they would" be
picked up later. Upon arriving at
Seldovia, Mr. Gilles got another boat
to take him to Port Graham where he
boarded the Admiral Evans. Seward
bound. The Evans stopped off the isl
and and picked up Pilot Merrill and
such parts of the plane which could
be brought over at the time. The mo
tor and hull were left on the island
but will be brought to Seward.
There was no trouble of any kind
encountered while flying or in land
ing it is stated, the trouble starting
after the landing was made, in the
heavy seas. Just what the future
plans of the aviator are could not be
definitely stated prior to going to
press but it is believed another ship
will be procured for service here as
originally planned.
Aviator Merrill and Mr. Gilles are
both guests at the Hotel Van Gilder,
none the worse for their adventure.
A large number of heavy drills for
the oil company boring at Matanuska
arrived on the Northwestern and will
be shipped to the interior.
A carload of machinery for the A.
M. Company arrived on the North
western and will be shipped to the in
terior.
The silver salmon began jumping
in the bay yesterday and trollers are
getting busy.

ALASKA INVITED
TO PARTICIPATE
IN EXPOSITION
GOV. PARKS RECEIVES INVITA
TION TO SEND DISPLAY TO
NEW YORK EXPO.
Means Much to Territory
Four States Included In Enterprise
Which Is To Be Held In Spring
At Madison Square Garden
An invitation to the Territory to
participate in the Pacific Northwest
Commercial and Industrial Exposition
to be held in New York, May, 1926,
has been extended by the association
fostering the event, it was announced
by Gov. Geo. A. Parks Sunday. The
tender was made through John P.
Hartman, prominent Seattle attorney,
member of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, who was asked to inter
est Alaskans in the projcet.
The Territory’s financial outlay in
joining in the exposition would be
limited strictly to collecting its ex
hibits and sending them to Seattle,
Gov. Parks was informed. Western
railroads and States are financing the
exposition.
Four States Included.
Four Northwestern States are con
nected with the enterprise, Mr. Hart
man told the Governor. These are
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana. The executive of these States
are honorary members of the board
of control.
Edward F. Kemmer, of Tacoma,
Wash., is general director and has
charge of all arrangements. Gov.
Parks was asked to name some re
sponsible Alaskan to act as Com
missioned for the Territory to meet
with the directors in Seattle, as
semble an Alaskan exhibit and ar
range for it to be incorporated in
the exposition.
The exposition will be held for
two weeks in Madison Square Gard
. en. It is' said to be possible that
| the combined exhibits will then be
sent to Philadelphia for display at
the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition to
be opened there about that time.
Inclined To Favor It.
Gov. Parks is giving the invitation
favorable consideration. It will be
submitted to the several Alaskan
chambers of commerce and communi
ties withja request for co-operation.
Funds for collecting a representa
tive exhibit are available under the
authority of Chapter 30, of the laws
of the 1925 session of the Alaska
legislature.
Mr. Hartman informed the Gov
ernor that the project is a co-opera
tive enterprise and not for profit.
Its purpose is to present in the
most populous city of America a
display of the resources, the advan
tages, the opportunities and the
achievements of the Pacific North
west and Alaska which comprise a
region of almost unparalleled wealth.
“So closely interwined are the
interests of lAaska with those of
the Pacific Northwest,” said Mr.
Hartman, and so strong are the tra
ditional ties of friendship and com
mercial inter-relationship, that a
striking and thorough-going display
of what Alaska is, and has, would
appear to be an essential part of
this exposition.”
Would Give Advertising.
“I believe Alaska would receive
a wide publicity and a large amount
of the finest kind „ of advertising
through its participation in the ex
position,” said Gov. Parks. “The fact
that our expenditures wmuld be so
small in comparison to the benefits
to be received makes the invitation
very attractive and I believe Alas
kans will receive it with apprecia
tion.”
The matter of appointing a Com
missioner will be held in abeyance
for a short time while Gov. Parks
communicates with various chambers
of commerce and communities regard
ing the disirability of co-operating
in arranging for an exhibit, it was
said.
Merritt Shellhorn, a popular young
athlete of the Seward high schools,
and a star basketball player, was an
outgoing passenger on the Northwest
ern to spend the winter in Seattle at
tending school.
