THE ALASKA WEEKLY
ALREADY IN THE FRONT RANK
VVe are proud to inform our many Alaskan friends that the
Editorial Staff of the ALASKA WEEKLY, during the past 60
days has been called upon to contribute to the Convention
Number of the Northwest Mining Truth; has furnished a se
ries of articles on Alaska to the Christian Science Monitor;
was the only paper published in Seattle which was quoted in
the Literary Digest’s comment on the Presidential Speech in
Seattle, and has been frequently quoted on Alaskan subjects
j in many other nationally known and circulated publications.
We feel that in establishing a newspaper capable of gaining
such recognition that we are making rapid strides toward the
attainment of our principle objective—that of giving Alaska’s
marvelous resources the type of publicity to which their
magnitude entitles them.

JUNEAU: Thai Senator Wesley| t
,. Jones and all the members of the;
•resident’s cabinet who visited Alaska; ^
his summer are in favor of eliminat-' ^
tig the Alaska clause in the Jones
^hipping Act, was stated by Attorney
Jeneral John Rustgard when at Van
ouver on his way East. It is this ^
lause which requires that goods or
ginating in any part of the United r
states and coming through Canada by t
ail must be carried from the Cana-; (
lian terminal port to its destination £
n Alaska in an American bottom. ■]
likewise it provides that freight orig-j
nating in Alaska destined for any^
>ort in the United States over a Cana
lian railroad must be carried in an j
American bottom to the initial point ,
n Canada. •
The Prince Rupert News, which
plays the story up strongly, gives in j
i dispatch from Vancouver the follow-,
ng account of the Rustgard inter
view:
“Southeastern Alaska is going to
make a great fight before the Com
merce Committee of Congress when
that body next convenes to have
Prince Rupert made its principal port
by the deletion of the so-called Alaska
Clause from the Jones coastwise ship
ping bill.” This is the statement of
John Rustgard of Juneau, Attorney
General of Alaska, who is in Vancou
ver on his way to Washington, where
he will direct the fight on behalf of
the great American northern territory
“At present we are practically shut
out of British Columbia ports by the;
Alaska clause which was slipped imo:
the Jones bill without anyone realiz-|
ing quite what it meant.” said Mr.,
Rustgard. “All the cabinet secreta
ries who accompanied the late Presi
dent Harding north this summer
agreed with us that the clause works
a hardship on southeastern Alaska.:
and they, together with Senator Jones
who fathered the coastwise bill, have
promised to help us in our aim.
“If the Alaska clause is deleted,
from the bill, it will mean that Prince
Rupert, our natural outlet will become
the great shipping port for the Ter
ritory.
The Hallowe’en Festival given by
the Auxiliary of the Seward American
Legion last nigth was a complete suc
cess, both socially and financially, the
large hall being packed and the re
ceipts amounting to over two hun
dred dollars. Evergreen, shaded
candles, Japanese lanterns, chrysan
themums, with the two little Japanese
ladies in their quaint costumes, gave
a decidedly oriental effect, both bi
zarre and striking.
Mrs. Harry Kawabe and Miss Yuka
Yago served tea to the patrons. Mrs.
Gordon Shea told fortunes from the
tea leaves. These tables were in a
steady demand.
The fish pond made a big hit with
the children. In spite of the great
number of articles, the pond was sold
out in less than an hour.
The candy booth was a most attrac
tive place with its homemade candies
and popcorn, balloons and squawks,
and everyone visited the cap booth,
the large stock being soon sold out.
The Swimming Match, Human Mon
key and Ghost Writing were added at
tractions.
Much credit for the success of the
affair goes to Mrs. Earl Reed and Mr.
H. L. Smith. Mrs. Reed, costumed as
a gypsy and Mr. Smith as a cowboy,
played their guitars and passed the
tambourine. They visited the various
pool halls and card rooms, and receiv
ed a generous contribution at each
place.
Miss M. J. S. Rasmussen presided
at one of the fortune telling booths,
and promised good luck, money and
travels to all who crossed her palm
with silver.
The dance began promptly at 10
o’clock, the hall being filled with an
enthusiastic crowd. The music was
excellent and the crowd peppy—the
two ingredients necessary to make a
successful dance.
Mr. Ford, cornetist, contributed his
services for the evening and added
much to the success of the music.
A little over $200 was cleared by
the Auxiliary.
