FACULTY OF THE
ALASKA COLLEGE
TO BE INCREASED
A number of new appointments to
the faculty of the Alaska College
at Fairbanks have, and will be made
by the Board of Regents, stated
President Charles E. Bunnell, Satur
day, prior to his departure from Sew
ard for the States.
Miss Grace Clark, a former teach
er of the Fairbanks High School,
who has been teaching recently at
St. Paul, Minn., has been selected as
Librarian and Director of Physical
Education. During his trip out Pres
ident Bunnell expects to appoint a
Professorship of Home Economics to
take the position vacated by the res
ignation of Prof. Ruth K. Trail.
An instructor in Home Economics
a new position at the College, will
be appointed. Also a Professor of
History. At the last meeting of the
Board of Trustees it was decided to
create the position of Dean of the
College. The Board unanimously ap
pointed Prof. Ernest N. Patty to the
position.
Professor Patty, of the Geological
and MineroJogy departments, has
been with the institution since it was
first opened. Professor Bunnel, ex
pressed himself to the Seward Gate
way, as being delighted with the ap
pointment. He stated Prof. Patty has
been chairman of student affairs and
has proved himself to be a man of
exceptional ability. His teaching, in
his own line, geology and minerol
ogy, is one of the outstanding fea*
tures of the work at the College.
During the recent absence of Presi
dent Bunnell to the Territorial legis
lature, Prof. Patty was selected as
administrator of the College, a posi
tion which he carried out in an ex
cellent manner. His work at the
Anchorage Fair, last fall, also at
the Fairbanks Fair, is well remember
ed by the hundreds who visited the
College booths.
SUMMER TRAIN SCHEDULE
BE IN EFFECT SHORTLY
It is reported the summer schedule
on the Alaska Railroad will be in ef
fect within a few days. This will
mean practically the same three train
a week schedule which was main
tained last summer. It is also be
lieved Sunday trains will run to and
from Anchorage each Sunday. Last
summer's schedule saw a passenger
train depart from Seward on Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday, with the
arriving trains coming in on Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday. It is
presumed the arriving and departing
hours will remain the same.

MISS JAMIE I. CAMERON
GRADUATES AT COLLEGE
Mass Jamie Irene Cameron has the
proud distinction of being the only
student to graduate this spring at
the Alaska Agricultural College and
School of Mines. The young lady
will be graduated with the degree of
Bachelor of Science and Home Eco
nomics, according to President Bun
nell, while in Seward Saturday.
OH! MY BACK!
It isn’t right To suffer day in and
day out with dull, unceasing back
ache. Or be utterly miserable -with
sharp stabs of pain whenever you
stoop or lift. But chances are you
will suffer these tormenting aches
and pains as long as your weakened
kidneys are neglected. You may
have headaches, too, spells of diz
ziness and urinary disorders. Then
use Doan’s Pills—a stimulent diuretic
to the kidneys. Experiences of folks
in this locality prove the merit of
Doan’s.
Mrs. J. J. Robinson, 730 Exchange
St., Astoria, Ore., says: “My kid
neys were out of order and I had a
sort of dull aching across my back
and felt dull and languid. Headaches
were frequent and I had no energy.
My kidneys acted irregularly, too.
I read of Doan’s Pills and used them
as directed. Doan’s soon relieved
the backache and other signs of kid
ney trouble.”

E. E. CHAMBERLIN
MAKES SUCCESS
BULB GROWING
That bulbs can be successfully
grown in Seward has been demon
strated by E. E. Chamberlin, at his
ranch in the northern part of town.
Last fall Mr. Chamberlin received a
shipment of bulbs from Holland,
which he set out as soon as received.
The shipment comprised 125 each of
Japanese, Siberian and German Iris,
400 tulips, 125 dafodils, 125 crocus,
and 40 peony roots. The bulbs were
received late, and were plated in soil
frozen two inches deep at the time.
They wintered excellently and not a
bulb was lost. The tulips will be
in bloom some time this month, and
| the others later in the year.
Mr. Chamberlin states that his
planting was in the nature of an ex
periment and that he has demonstrat
ed to his own satisfaction that these
bulbs may be successfully grown out
of doors in Alaska. He will increase
his stock this year, and may enter
the proposition in a commercial way
at a later date.
Jimmie Wilson, employed in the
service of the Alaska Railroad, de
parted from Seward Saturday for the
States.
M. R. Felts, of the tie firm of
Felts & Kilakosky, arrived in Sew
ard Saturday from Anchorage and
departed in the evening for Knights
Island where the tie camp is located.
Con Walker, oldtimer of the Val
dez district, was found dead recently

ing to reports reaching the Gateway.
Death was due from natural causes.
Charlie Metzdorf, steam shovel
foreman, departed from Seward Sat
urday for Cordova. Metzdorf ex
pects to be gone for a number of
weeks.
Taking advantage of the splendid
day yesterday a large number of
Seward citizens journeyed out over
the highways, spending the day mot
oring and fishing.
There is objection to the new dol
lar bill, but it WILL buy a dollar’s
worth.
