WELCOME TO ALASKA
The Gateway has not yet had the pleasure of meet
ing- Major Wiley Wright, the new aeronautical inspec
tor for Alaska for the Department of Commerce and,
incidently the first one for the Territory, but no mat
ter. we are glad to welcome him to the North; we know
lie will make many warm friendships and we know,
from private sources, that he is an ideal man for the
position he holds.
Down in the Portland, Oregon country, Major
Wright has made a splendid record and did much
to advance the interests of aviation; so we are assured
the Territory of Alaska will benefit accordingly. As the
first inspector of Alaska, his work will be particularly
ardorous. mos so probably, than many might believe,
for the Major has a tremendously big country to cover.
It is up to Alaskans to assist Major Wright in every
way possible for thru aviation Alaska is and will contin
ue to show, the greatest development.
Some say that Westward Alaska is not a good stock
country. Weil how about the wild cattle on that isolated,
lonely island of Chirikov down there 50 miles southwest
of Kodiak Island? Somewhere between 40 and 50 years
ago a Durham cow and two calves were left there after
the white man had quit the island and for many years
there were no human visitors. Today there are between
200 and 300 heavy beef cattle there, altho they are in
bred and extremely wild. Some of them will weigh a ton.
Laugh that off!

Miss Noria of Los Angeles is in a position to give
the horse-laugh to the state tax department. She was
left $20,000 by Josephine Callaghan and it has been de
cided that the legacy is not subject to the state inheri
tance tax. Miss Noria is a mare.
The Alaska Railroad was built and is maintained as
a means of developing Alaska. It is gratifying to know
that this simple truth is being told to the world in plain
and clear language. Solons, please remember.
A sense of humor is desirable, but it may be over
developed, according to Tom Soldad of Fresno, Calif. He
has sued his wife, Lucy, for a divorce, alleging that she
spent the first week of their married life laughing at
him.
If reindeer meat is good to. eat in Alaska, it should
be good in the States. We have the best meat in the world
here and are discriminating connoisseurs.
The United States will proceed to comply with‘the
naval “reduction” pact by building seven new cruisers.
Did you know that some of the finest, cleanest, long
staple wool in the world is grown in Westward Alaska?
1 he mutton is of excellent quality and taste.
Its pleasant to hear that Mt. McKinley is to have
further and better hotel accommodation and more roads.
Undoubtedly they will need it with the ever-in
creasing list of travelers coming to see Uncle Sam's
last and greatest Territory.
The British probably wish Gandhi and his salt
makers would meet the fate of Lot's wife.
Its heart-breaking to Alaskans of the Westward to
buy their coal at $1.50 a sack when they know there are
so many millions tons along the line of the Alaska Rail
road. Thirty dollars a ton for coal! Can you beat it?
An expert examination of furs might disclose that
the Easter rabbit was really a seal.

With the arrival in port last !
night from Seattle, Capt. C. E. An- |
dcrson, master, reports one of the j
most: ideal voyages he has ever |
made as to weather and sea con- i
editions. No rough weather at all
was encountered.
The shin went through her reg
ular semi-annual inspection and
overhauling and is all ready for i
another six months tour of duty
in thee and Westward waters.
The ship carries a full comple
ment of passengers, including 20
first class and the oriental crew
for Uganik as well as considera
ble freight for points to the West
ward and the Bristol Bay district.
Most all of the old crew of the
Starr returned. After 10 days of ;
| the bright lights, as Seattle, they
1 were good and ready to return to
throw off the lines and return j
“home.
The Starr left shortly after its
■ arrival last evening for Uganik
with the cannery crew and sup
plies but is returning here Satur
day; Captain Anderson stated he
expected to leave Saturday night
for Bristol Bay.
Dan MacFaiiane was among
those arriving on the S. S. Starr
Wednesday night from Portland. j
“SINBAD THE SAILOR”
Edwin Sandbeck, plant super- ;
intendent of the Gateway Pub
h'shing Co., now known to his in
timates as “Sinbad the Sailor.”
returned last evening from Seat
tle where he remained for about i
10 days on business and pleasure. .
Ed saw many former local stu- .
dents down there and enjoyed vis
its with them. The business end
the trip was buying paper and
newsprint stock for the plant.
When Ed jumped off the gang
plant here, all sails were flying
h' h. wide and handsome.
