HARRY PAYNE WHITNEY
Alaska lost a good friend yesterday in New York
when Harry Pavne Whitney, sportsman and capitalist,
died. Many Seward folk will recall his visit here sever
al years ago; the charming personality of the man.
Mr. Whitney first gave evidence of the business
ability which distinquished his father in 1901, when
despite the fact he had entries in an important horse
show in New York, he went with Daniel Guggenheim
and others to Colorado, Mexico and the Southwest, re
turning with silver, lead and copper leases aggregat
ing $10,000,000 in value.
Although his father was an active Democrat, Har
ry never assumed the place in politics occupied by his
father. Horse racing, breeding and polo activities
made Harry Payne Whitney known as a premier
sportsman of America. Much of the wealth he inherit
ed and produced in mining and real estate interests
was devoted to development of turf sports.
He was born in New York, April 29, 1872, the son
of William C. Whitney, Secretary of the Navy under
the Cleveland administration.
“He was a'real sportsman,” an associate said of
him. “I know of no one who played a better, fairer
game in whatever he tackled.”
OUTLOOK IS BETTER
From an Alaskans viewpoint as a far-distant ob
server of economic conditions in the States, it appears
that there is a decided improvement in the outlook
although recovery may be gradual. That the tide has
really turned now seems to be a widely accepted fact.
In recent utterances President Hoover has coun
seled courage to go forward. Business periodicals are
urging the same thing. These admonitions are bearing
fruit in increased activity in many lines.
If conditions are quiet in Alaska at the present
writing, imagine what they must be in the States. There
is no use trying to “kid” ourselves about business in
general; it has not been as good as usual but, on the
whole, there are reasons for optimism for the outlook
is decidely better than a few months ago.
For completeness and finality it would be hard to
beat a report recently made to a mercantile agency
regarding the credit standing of a merchant. The re
porting correspondent wrote: ’"‘Credit 0. K. Has been
out of business some time. Also dead.”
The Department of Agriculture finds that quart
bottles are weak. Many persons still living can testify
to the strength of the old-time half-pint.
Americanism: Believing that all the campaign
liars belong to the opposing political party.

ELECTRIC BAKERY IS ■
UNDERJEW Min
Mel E. Holben, proprietor of j
the Seward Grill and Electric i
Bakery, announces that a change
has taken place today in the
management of the latter bus
iness, the Electric Bakery.
Ed. E. Arrivey, an exxperienc
ed baker and caterer, has taken
a lease on the popular bakery
on Fourth Avenue and will con
tinue to turn out the fine breads
and pastries that have come
from this modern baking plant,
during the past year.
Mr. Arrivey is an expert in
his line and has recently been
in business in the Interior but
finally decided upon Seward as
the place to light permanently.
He has been all over the Terri
tory since 1906 and picks the
Gateway City as the City of
Destiny and future progress.
LAST CHANCE!
There has been a lot of
1 talking pro and con, mostly con,
with reference to starting gym
nasium activities locally this
winter so once again members
oi the Seward Athletic Club will
j call a meeting—tomorrow even
ing at 8 p. m., Arcade Club
Rooms—for the purpose of eith
ed taking definite action or call
the deal off. At last week’s call
about 3 parents attended and
j probably one or two others be
'sides many children. If in
sufficient attendance is present
Wednesday night, the books
will be wiped clean and heaved
j into the bay. Election of officers
: for the ensuing year will also
be held providing a quorum is

Gateway Readers:—
Since it is impossible for me
to meet all the readers of this
paper personally, I am taking
this means of informing you of
my qualifications for the posi
tion of Commissioner of Educa
tion for the Territory of Alas
ka, wich position I am seeking
at the general election on No
vember 4th.
I am a college and university
graduate, having studied an
equivalent of two years beyond
the requirements for the A. B.
degree. During these two years
of post-graduate study, I have
specialized in the field of school
administration, and have cover
ed every phase of the work.
I have had 17 years experience
in school work, consisting of
experience as a rural school
teacher, high school teacher, j
high school principal, grade sup- !
ervisor, and city superintend
dent.
With the special training and
wide experience noted above, I
am sure that I am very ade
qautely qualified for the posi
tion, and if selected, will give
the Territory an administration
of its schools that' will be in
keeping with the best practices
of the times.
You will find my name on the
Democratic ticket.
Yours very truly, A. E. Karnes,
Superintendent of Schools,
Adv. Ketchikan, Alaska
