WAS A GALA DAY
The city of Seward presented a fine
appearance Saturday, the Fourth of
July, in the many handsome and ar
tistic decorated business houses and
homes, with her gaily adorned street
recorations, and the huge “welcome”
sign spanning the wharf approach.
All this did much to make the event
one to be long remembered by the
many visitors to Sewrard and its cit
izens. Not a cloud was on the sky,
the day being one of the best SewT
ard has had this summer. Joy reign
ed supreme thruout the town and the
dance in the evning, came as a fitting
close to the day’s happiness.
MARATHON A FEATURE
The Marathon race held here Sat
urday as a part of the Fourth of July
celebration, probably attracted more
favorable comment from visitors and
tourists than any one thing. In fact,
so intense was the excitement over
the race that it might be a good
thing to make the race an annual
event, and the principal feature on
the day’s program. By cutting the
prize money in the different events
and making a larger purse, one prom
inent tourist suggested that it w’ould
bring runners from other parts of the
Territory. He also suggested that the
event be advertised for a month pre
vious to the arrival of the steamer
from Seattle so that tourists could

take advantage of the endurance con
test.
You have the best field for such
event I have ever seen,” said our in
formant. “I sat on the hotel porch and
saw the whole race in comfort, with
out moving from my chair. The 3000
foot climb offers many obstacles to
the runner but it is one of the best
assets the city has to offer.”
The race Saturday should be the
first of an annual event staged after
the arrival of the tourist boat from
the States.
Seward was fortunate in having the
Peck-Judah party here while the cele
bration was being pulled off and to
say they enjoyed themselves is mak
ing a mild statement. They entered
into the spirit of the occasion with
unflagging zest and were interested
spectators up to the last event.
WE ARE PROUD OF SEWARD
The Gateway is proud of Seward
for the able manner in which the big
celebration, the largest in the history
of the city, was pulled off without a
hitch and without an accident of any
kind. The gaily decorated streets, the
fine appearance of the store windows,
the spirit of optimism and good fel
lowship shown, on every hand, the un
failing courtesy and attention given to
over 200 visitors, the orderly, well be
haved crowd, and the bright happy
throng of children excited the admira
tion of all who spent the day here.
Saturday’s celebration shows what
can be accomplished by pulling to
gether without regard to faction, col
or or creed. A few more such days
would cement) our citizens into a civic
solidarity which would work wonders
in the community. No town can suc
ceed without a united citizenry, and
to secure this result our citizens must
meet and mingle one with another as
often as the occasion provides.
The crews of the Northwestern, the
Starr, the Standard Service and the
tugs Canada and Imbucaria helped to
make the celebration a grand success
and the boys all had one grand time
together. It was fortunate that these
vessels were in. port on this day, both
for the crews and for the success of
the celebration.
The Bathing Beauties were out in
force and their handsome appearance
and splendidly decorated float added
to the enjoyment of the parade.
Lee Ray. Jr., and Betty Balderston
excited much admiration as Uncle
Sam and Miss Columbia. The little
tots entered into the spirit of the oc
casion with great zeal and went thru
their parts with great gravity.
President Coolidge has again of
fended the British government by his
speech on the security pact, delivered
at Cambridge Friday. It is rather ego
tistical for Mr. Coolidge to insist that
America holds the future peace of the
world in her hands, but it must be
true from the vehement denials ex
cited.
The Pathfinder of Alaska will be
removed from Valdez to Anchorage,
where it will be published in the fu
ture by John E. Meals, who has pur
chased the stock and goodwill from
the trustees. Mr. Meals is a young
man of exceptional ability as a writer
and with much ability as a business
manager. That the All-Alaska maga
zine will go ahead at a phenomenal
rate under his skilful handling is to
be expected. The July number of the
Pathfinder will be one of the best yet
issued. You will miss a real treat
if you do not send in your subscrip
tion now.
President Charles E. Bunnell of the
Alaska Agricultural College and
School of Mines is on his wray back
to Alaska with additional honors upon
his shoulders. Mr. Bunnell was given
an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
by Bucknell College and left a few
weeks ago to receive this great hon
or. Alaska is fortunate in having a
man so well known and so signally
honored at the head of its institution.

Engineer Amputates Finger
With Sharp Cold Chisel
Amputation of a small finger with
a cold chisel, ground down to a razor
edge is what happened to chief engi
neer James Scott of the former mine
sweeper and North Sea trawler lm
bucaria, while at sea en route from
Yokahama to Seward, when his hand
was accidentally shoved into the ma
chinery during a heavy sea. Upon ar
riving in Seward Saturday Engineer
Scott had the wounded hand exam
ined and dressed by Dr. Baughman,
who pronounced the surgical opera
tion very good under the circum
stances. Capt. Walter H. Meyers, a
well known former Alaska skipper,
commanding the craft, acted in the
capacity of surgeon and nurse to the
injured engineer.

BUYS TENNIS SHOES FOR 100
YARD DASH, BUT MISSED IT!
Bill Neville and Frank Kennedy,
local Nurmis, purchased tennis shoes
last Saturday, 4th of July, for the
sole purpose of entering and tak
ing home the bacon in the 100-yard
dash. Thi serent was scheduled to
take place at 1:45 o’clock in the af
ternoon, but when the speed demons
arrived about one half hour before
the scheduled time to check in for
the event, they discovered the race
had been run and won, over a half
hour previously. “Too bad,” Bill re
marked to a friend, “for I won the
dashes for the last few years, and
was all primed up to take home the
prize mazuma this year.” However,
he was told that he could run all,
he wanted too, but that the prizes
were taken. He added, watch me
next year!”
ANCIENT UNDERGROUND
GALLERIES REVEALED
WHEN STREET CAVES IN
GAETA, Italy, July 6. (JP)—A se
ries of subterranean galleries, believ
ed to have formed part of the an
cient depense works of this seaport
—known as the Gibraltar of Italy—
was revealed recently when the pave
ment caved in.
The extent of the discovery has
not been determined, but judging
from what experts were able to see
from the surface the ancient mason
ry uncovered dates back several cen
turies, because many of the houses
now standing in the immediate vi
cinity are, themselves, 200 and 300
years old.
NAVAL AIR SERVICE SEES
NO NEED FOR SPECIAL
AMBULANCE PLANES
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6. (JP)
—The big scouting plans that do duty
with the fleets are ample to take
care of aerial medical needs afloat,
ranking officers in the navy’s bureau
of medicine and surgery believe. Con
sequently the naval air service does
not plan the use of ambulance planes
which are contemplated by medical
officers of the army air service.
The naval air service, it is pointed
out, is sufficiently prepared for pres
ent requirements and needs no spec
ial equipment.
JAPANESE PLANS GARDENS
AS MODELS OF PERFECTION
SEATTLE, July 6. (^—Japanese
look upon a garden as a picture,
beautifully designed and framed,
much as the Occidental looks upon
a painting, Prof. Takuma Tono, land
scape architect of Waseda University,
Japan, told Seattle on a lecture tour
of the United States. Prof. Tono
is a graduate of Cornell University.
“Our Japanese gardens are entire
ly different from gardens in any
other part of the world,” Mr. Tono
said. “In al lwestern nations the
garden is considered a collection
of rare and beautiful plants, flowers,
shrubs and trees, rather than the
picture, for which the Japanese strive.
Japanese gardens are more natural
istic than architectural.”

Prohibition Chained In Cave
On Lone Tenn. Mountain
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 6 (JP).
Dr. W. D. Mason, veterinary surgeon,
and Lawrence Bowman, an alleged
feudist and aide to the Federal dry
agents, who have been missing for
several days, were found Sunday
chained in a cave on Three Signal
mountain, by Jim Thomas, a moun
taineer. Sam Godsent, deputy sheriff,
and alleged leader of a feudist clan,
said the men’s disappearance was a
frame-up.
Sheriff Tom Solman said the story
was dubious, but we would go to the
bottom of the affair.
When the men disappeared their
automobile was found covered with
blood, and it was feared they were
victims of a feud which the Bowman
family had opposed.
UNITED STATES PRESSING
FOR RIGHTS IN CHINA
LONDON, July 6 (AP)—The news
that the United States government is
pressing for consideration of the extra
territorial rights in China is given
prominence in the morning newspa
pers but there is no editorial com
ment upon it.

OAKLAND, Cal., July 6 (/P)—Jimmy
McLarnin, a 19-vear-old flyweight of

showing because of the extraction of
a badly ulcerated tooth less than 24
hours before the fight.
