WICKERSHAM AND THE SEWARD HARBOR
In his interview in today’s paper Judge Wickersham
promises to the people of Seward his earnest support to
procure the appropriation for the proposed local break
water and narbor of refuge for the fishing fleet which
three years go was favorably reported on by Chief of
Army Engineers Jadwin, but which project has been
dormant ever since.
Judge Wickersham interviewed Mayor P. C. McMul
len and officials of the Chamber of Commerce and asked
them to present the facts of the matter, promising them
ais unstinted support. In view of his former service as
Delegate to Congress from Alaska when he aided mater
ially in securing the construction of the Alaska Railroad,
we believe, providing he is elected, that he will be suc
cessful m obtaining for Seward this great and vitally
need harbor improvement.
ED GOING ABROAD
Edwin Sandbeck, local fresh
man, and general foreman of the
Gateway’s forces, has, after six
years of newspaper work, accum
alated sufficient of the “where
with-all” to take for hirr^f a
'rip to Seattle, the Chicago of
the West. However, the trip is not
alone for the purpose of taking
in the colored Neon-way, but also
to have a specialist see what in
blazes is wrong with an ear. A
close observer might gain the im
pression Ed is a “pug” on account
of what looks like a “cauliflower"
esr, but not so as there is not in
Reward a more peace-looking
-id ~:vs has been demonstrated
many times the oast winter in
basketball garr len Ed spilled
opponents all over the lot. In any
case the great day when he packs
up his tooth-brush and extra pair
socks, will be upon the S 8. Starr’s
return from the Westward on
which take passage south.
During his absence from the
Gateway’s shop, seven extra men
will be employed.
Plans for the 1930 Anchorage
fair were discussed and officers
elected at the postponed meeting
t>f the stockholders of the West
ern Alaska Fair association which
was held at Anchorage. Mrs. J.
K. Monkman and William T. Mur
ry were re-elected directors, to
serve for a period of three years.
The Cordova Elks lodge will
send a delegation to Latouche on
the steamer Northwestern, leav
ing March 27, In order to hold an
initiation in the mining town.
KJLUTUK VANISHES
The alleged native murderer out
to the Westward, Klutuk, is now
more of a mystery than ever for
he seems to vanished from off
the face of the earth. Last fall
a trapper found w'hat he thought
was Klutuk’s cabin, on the Hoho
luna river, a tributary to the
Ku kokwim but there has been
no sign of him anywhere, as far
as the inhabitants of the remote
areas of that country are con
cerned.
NEW BULLETIN OUT
The Gateway is receipt from
the Department of the Interior,
Geological Survey, bulletin 816
which is devoted to the geology
of the Eagle-Circle district of
Alaska, as compiled by J. B. Mer
tie, Jr., geologist, and well knowm
here. There are 168 pages of in
teresting data and maps con
tained in the bulletin which is
available at this office.
OVER LAST TRAIL
Frank DeWolfe, 72, oldtime
Alaskan and for the last six
years a resident of Tenakee, died
of heart failure at Juneau. Born
in Ohio, DeWolfe first came to
the Territory about 1895. At that
time he went to the interior, tout
reurned before 1900 to reside in
Douglas. About 1920 he was sent
to the Pioneers’ Home in Sitka,
but returned to Douglas the fol
lowing year and in 1924 moved to
Tenakee, v/here he has since made
his home.
