THE BEST EVIDENCE
Time and again we hear the same
old story of a newcomer coming into
the territory and upon close scrutniy
chooses his town paper to send home
for an example of the town in which !
he is loetaed. Then again, on the j
other hand, the sender of letters in
distant places writing a friend in this
country inquires as to conditions, and
asks in a modest way for a copy of the
paper of that particular town in which
he is corresponding in. He thinks
and knows that it will convey a truer
expression in regard to business con
ditions in that town that superlatives
could not describe in letterwriting.
They both may be on black and white,
but as the riddle goes—the “one” is
“read” all over.
And then, it sets us to wondering
if the citizens really comprehend that
nothing reflects upon a town more
greater than their criterion of news
and advertising mediums—like the pa
per of their home town. If it is a
good paper with lots of local news
and merchants are liberally represent
ed in its advertising columns the
stranger is quick to decide that it is
a good live, progressive town. We
call your attention to this because
you can help make the paper the
“mirror” in which strangers see the
town. Send in or hand any one of
the Gateway staff every little item

of interest you might think will in
terest others. Tell your merchant
that you read your home-town paper
carefully every day, and that you de
pend a good deal on its advertising
columns as a guide to purchasing.
That is the way you can help in giv
ing the outside world that is waiting
at the threshold for wholesome,oppor- ]
tunities a clear understanding of lo
cal conditions. No other way can the
truth be evidenced by the outsider

STEAMER YUKON OFF
ALASKA RUN, WINTER
Tentative announcement was made;
by the Alaska Steamship company of
taking the Yukon off the Alaskan run
for two excursion trips to the Ha
waiian Islands during the winter sea
son. Such was the report published
recently in the Juneau Empire.
The Empire, in following up on the \
story added that the proposed sched-1
ule formulated by the Seattle of-1
lice contemplates operating the Yu- |
kon out of Seattle to the Hawaiian :
Islands, Los Angeles, San Francisco ;
and back to Seattle with the Yukon \
leaving Seattle on Janury 14 and
February 12, 1925 for the cruise!
and returning February 9th and Mar. j
l()th.
In the statement made by John H.
Bunch, traffic manager, for the Alas-;
ka Steamship company with offices 1
at Seattle, he said that “Within the
last two years, the Alaska Steamship
company’s fleet has been consider
ably enlarged and improved by the
addiiton of two new steamers, the
Alaska and the Yukon. As Alaska
business is seasonal and the heaviest
volume of travel offers during thej
spring, summer and early fall months |
and there is a very small volume of i
winter travel, necessitating tying up
some of the steamers during the win
ter months, we are desirous of finding
employment for at least one of the
ships during part of the winter sea
son.’’

RUNAWAY AUTO LEAVES OAKLAND GASPING AND
OLD MEN SKIP IN GLEE AS CAR WRECKS STREET
OAKLAND, Oct. 4.—Not since the
day Peter Grogan’s nags ran helter
skelter through the town tipping over
Tony’s peanut stand and scratching
the paint on Pete’s brand new rub
ber-tired buggy have the older town
folk here experienced the thtills of
trying to stop a runaway—that is un
til this morning when they tried to
stop a runaway automobile and as
usual all but got bowled over for their
pains.
Nicholas Simong, 1225 East 12th
street, parked his machine at East
Fourteenth street and 23rd avenue,
leaving his 5-year-old daughter, Mar
garet asleep in the tonneau while lie
went shopping.
He also left his car in gear and
the key in the switch. But how
should M. Arvillfi, 716 Fruitvale av
enue, know all of these facts when
he rounded a corner and to prevent
crashing into another car, drove his
machine into the rear of Simong’s
car. The impact drove the other ma
chine forward, starting the motor—
and away it went.
Just like any real runaway, it
started off by climbing a sidewalk,
knocking down a light post or two
and then trying to run down every
body in sight. Then, of course, it
tiied the other side of the street with
results that exceeded even fondest i
expectations of several white-haired
patriarchs who skipped in glee.
But the rest of the story is just j
the tale of any runaway—the "cr!t- j
ter” ended up in a vacant lot—no
body hurt, but the streets cluttered
with wreckage.
And 5-yeavold Margaret, she en
joyed it imensely. Poking her head
oct from beneath a mountain of
cushions she gurgled—‘‘Gee, dad you ^
are a good driver.”
And dad never told her the dif
ference.
