VISITORS FROM ACROSS THE SEA
Seward is honored today with a visitation from
across the sea, Russia, the land of Soviet government,
and if the rank and file of Russia’s populace are com
posed of citizens as is typified by these fine, upstand
ing, fearless young men, Russia is to be congratulated.
The arrival of the Russian plane “Land of Soviet”
and the four “Good Will Ambassadors” marks a new
epoch in Alaska aviation; also.a new and broader rela
tionship between Russia and Alaska.
Mayor P. C. McMullen, in behalf of the citizens of
Seward, extended a cordial and sincere welcome to the
tired but delighted men from the skies, and likewise,
Leon Urbach, president of the Chamber of Commerce,
extended the hand of good-fellowship and arranged for
a public reception, dinner and dance this evening.
The “Keys to the City” have been turned over to
our visitors; may they enjoy a well-earned rest and
also a good time while here and when they wing their
way southward with them will go the best wishes of
every man, woman and child in Seward with the hope
their ultimate goal, New York City, may be reached
speedily and safely.
A FRIEND, LOYAL AND TRUE
Again, Robert Frothingham of New York, noted
author, lecturer, sportsman and friend of Alaska, comes
to the forefront for the Territory. His inspiring article
published in today’s Gateway is most timely following,
as it does, in the wake of extensive and colored articles
appearing, seemingly without end, in current, subsidized
magazines, relative particularly to the construction of
the Hudson Bay Railroad from La Pas, Man., to Fort
Churchill—a foreign enterprise. With all due respect to
Canada, our worthy and estimable neighbor, it behooves
us to continue the fight against this discrimination.
It is easy enough for 'general ignorance of Alaska
to prevail hundreds of miles away, and safe for critics,
like hungry vultures, prey upon her defencelespness,
condemning the construction of the Alaska Railroad
and governmental expenditures for constructive enter
prises so badly needed in the development of her latent
resources; but to* the brave men and women who are
pioneering this last, great frontier for America’s
future generations, the immediate question is one of
recognition. And for some hundreds of them, the issue
has been irrevocably settled. They are dead. Whatever
ultimate solution may be found to our many problems,
even the most uncompromising critics of Alaska must
confess a sense of shame after reading Robert
Frothingham’s animating discourse.
While time will bring a juster sifting of circum
stances, Alaskans feel with distinct delight, the warm
influence of Robert Frothingham, a friend loyal and
true.
Its a dickens of a note when one finds errors in a
dictionary but that is exactly what happened yesterday
so if any misspelled words are noted in this issue, the
drinks will not be on us.
Old men are fond of imparting good advice, to
console themselves for being no longer in a position
to render bad examples. (La Rochefoucauld wrote that
maxim a couple of hundred of years ago.)

NGRB^CK BILL WOULD STOP j
PROSPECTING IN NATIONAL
FORESTS
WALLACE, Idaho, Sept., 27, (/P)—
; The bill now pending in the senate
i amending the United States mining
ilaws applicable to the location of
| mining claims in the national for
est, introduced by Senator Norbeck
of South Dakota, was brought to
the attention of the board of trade
at the weekly luncheon by H. J.
Hull. He pointed out that the pro
posed measure would deprive the
locator of mining claims within the
forest rejfrves of his rights and in
effect limit the laws and regula
tions of the forestry service He felt i
that the board of trade should op- |
pose this bill by strong resolution; j:
also memorialize the Idaho delega- j
tion in congress to oppose its pas- i
sage, and also the approaching ;
meeting of the western division of ;
|the American Mining Congress in ' |
jPpokare to declare against it, and:
!l:° made a motion to that effect.
Push J. White approved the mo- j
tion by Mr. Hull and offered an J
amendment to broaden its scope, j
He moved to amend by authorizing
| the president to appoint a commit- i
tee of three, of which Mr. Hull j
would be chairman, to take the ac
tion stated in the original motion
and to take any other steps deemed
necessary to accomplish the defeat
of the bill. Mr. Hull accepted the
I amendment but stated that pres
sure of other business would make
it impossible for him to act as j
; chairman of the committee. With I
■that exception the motion as
j amended was unanimously passed
land the president stated that he
would appoint the committee lat<i\
