ARE WE BETTER OR WORSE?
After living in the Territory over a
decade we fail to see where Alaskans
are chronic lawbreakers. If anything,
the laws are more strictly observed
and there is less crime in Alaska than
in the States. To a close observer
it would appear that Alaskans are
“just regular fellers,” with the same
frailties and hopes and fears that gov
ern residents of the States. Our ver
miform appendage is in the same spot
and our hearts are located close to
where those of residents of the states
are located, the only difference being
they are somewhat larger and not so
adamantine.
Taking us per capita we believe we
stack up about as intelligent, as law
abiding and as God fearing as any
nation in' the world. Our only trou
ble is that our pool is small and when
a rock is thrown into it the ripples
are larger. It is impossible to keep
one’s frailties hid in a small town,
therefore a small fire makes lots of
smoke.
AN UNUSUAL WINTER.
The present winter has been a
pleasant revelation to the old sour
doughs, who have not found enough
snow or cold weather to remain in a
normal, healthy condition. Not in the
memory of man has so warm a winter
been experienced and it probably will
never occur again unless the present
sun spots appear in the same position
under the same circumstances. The
FOUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. .The fear of a penniless old age
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to hare these
fears eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
mitting you to any action,

Japanese current has been quoted as
the cause, but the temperature of the
waters remain about the same with
the humidity occurring overhead. If
strawberries can bloom in January,
we may yet see oranges and grape
fruit, avocado pears and papayes
shipped from local growers to the
states.
About the only criminals laws left
on the calendar appear to be having
liquor in one’s possession. In their
frantic efforts to stop something that
cannot be stopped all other court
actions have apparently ceased.

Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad, and this applies as
well to politicians as to the layman.
- Prospective advertisers should take
advantage of the Weekly Gateway to
reach patrons to the westward. Some
enterprising merchant can work up
a big mail order business by making
his prices right and attending to the
! trade through shipments on the return
trip of the Starr.
The only reason that business is
bad in Alaska through January and
February is that our people have been
led to believe that it is going to be,
and tighten up directly after Christ
mas, the effects being felt all along
the line. In the States January and
February are the best months because
of inventory sales, clearing sales and
the like, many buyers waiting to take
advantage of the clearance of winter
stock to make room for spring stock.
It is an old axiom that anything can
be sold if the price is right.

To District and Town of Seward
“In my opinion the construction of
the proposed Resurrection wagon
road to open the Kenai peninsula
1 country, is a splendid thing for the
Seward Chamber of Commerce to en
dorse but on the other hand, and I be
lieve you will agree with me, it is ap
parent the chamber has overlooked
| the fact that many miles of the finest
roadways are already constructed in
i the Moose Pass area which, if connect
ed with the Seward-Kenai road, rich in
natural resources, and which has been
lying dormant for many years, would
be immediately opened assuring a
| rapid development.” Thus spoke Mike
| Connelly, Sunrise operator yesterday.
“It would take at least sixty miles
of the proposed Resurrection road to
reach the same objective, providing a
connecting road was built from this
| end of Lake Kenai, fourteen miles
from Seward, to Mile 29, on the rail

road, or at Moose Pass. This connect
ing link would not exceed ten miles
of new road and would cost approxi
mately $50,000 in comparison to hund
reds of thousands of dollars for the
Resurrection road. From a certain
point on the present Moose Pass road
to the same objective the Resurrection
road would eventually reach, but a
few more miles of new road would be
needed. And from that point on the
lower regions of the Kenai Peninsula
could then be reached in all direction^,
but via Moose Pass instead of direct
out of Seward.
“Is there any reason why anyone
should be forced to take eight days
coming out from where my placer
ground is located, 4 miles below the
present end of the Moose Pass road?
I do not think so. Yet, that is exactly
the time required for Mr. Amodt and
myself to reach Seward on our present
trip. The main idea in my mind is
that the construction of this connect
ing road from Lake Kenai to Mile 29
means so much more right now to
that portion of this district, and to Se
ward in particular, than one could pos
sibly think of with the construction
of the proposed Resurrection road.
“It has been argued that this small
bit of connecting road, running paral
lel to the Alaska Railroad, is not look
ed upon with favor by certain road
officials and also, it has been stated
>by the management of the railroad.
It seems to me this is absolutely the
wrong attitude to take for with the
construction of that ten miles of road

instead of retarding the development
of the railroad it would create ton- ;
nage, such as supplies and equipment 1
for the new properties which would
open up. And this would surely take
place f<Dr then a means of ingress to
the district from Seward would be
had. In conclusion, it is doubtful if
an appropriation sufficiently large
enough for the proposed Resurrection
road could be obtained during the life
time of anyone living today. We want
roads, certainly, but let’s get started
right.”

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfiand, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead."
