.NOW FOR IT
Now that the election excitement is a mere echo
and the country has once more been made pure, we arc
waiting anxiously for Congress to convene on the first
of December.
We want to know what that Senatorial Railroad
Investigation Committee will have to say. We have
heard it said so often that they came here with no des
tructive intentions, but only wished to formulate some
thing constructive, we would like to have it set to mus
ic so we can hear the report over the radio in the
witching hour of best reception.
It will cheer these long, cold evenings, when the
boys out on the line are rubbing their ear muffs and
bucking the snow. Maybe it will mean another snow
plow so we may get more than three trains a month,
at even an advanced rate of ten cents a mile.

MUST HAVE A GRUDGE
The U. S. Army Recruiting News issued by direc
tion of the Adjutant General of the Army has been
coming to The Gateway desk for years. It deals gener
ally with affairs of the army throughout the United
States and possessions, but altho we glance hungrily
thru it every month, we never find any mention of the
army boys up here in Alaska.
The faculty of ignoring Alaska’s very existence
was most pronounced in the November issue in an ar
ticle entitled “Say it by Army Radio/’ Altho it tells of
how messages may be shot to China and the Philippines,
there is not a word about this poor, old Territory,
where the army boys are shooting thousands of words
thru the air every day. Some body down there must
have an awful grudge against us.
WE STAKE ALASKA
We hope that some of our friends down in Con
gress get away with some good bluffs in their first
poker games at the Hotel Willard.
It will give them confidence and incite them to
raise the ante. When they enter the sacred halls of
the solons, they will be flushed with victory. They will
ask for bigger and better appropriations for Alaska.
If they display the same savoir faire they employed
the night before, they’ll not be bluffed by any close-to
the-vest piker from the com belt. We’re all putting
Alaska up for the stake. sWe hope they play their
cards high, wide and handsome.
SEWARD TONGUE-TIED
When it is announced that Valdez is to have the
Talkies” soon, the conviction is upon us that Seward is
incurably tongue-tied.
We can’t say it ourselves and can’t get a machine
here to say it for us. Perhaps when they start making
these nickle in the slot affairs, which will shove out a
chair and a hot dog, we will be able to look in and lis
ten as the latest masterpiece sounds by. That will in
deed, be a great day for this progressive Gateway met
ropolis. Gateway of what? you ask. Well, one of those
last “Wooleys” blew the gate shut.
A candidate for office was accussed of dealing out
the truth in small doses. If this means short speeches,
he should have been elected.
Trouble seems to be continually brewing, in spite
of the 18th amendment.
The old j.oke about doing Christmas shopping early
is being revived.

After a lingering illness which
began some time prior to his de
oarture for the Pioneers Home at

in Alaska, but particularly here in

Schantz had been a wanderer :
| most of his life, it is said by those i
I who knew him. Perhaps he spent I
j more of his days here than he so- |
Mourned anywhere else in his ad- f
} venturous career. As a young man j
! hi i ssaid to have been a cook on j j
I Great Lake vessels. For a number , f
| of years he was timber cruiser in j |
[ Washington. He was in the Daw- |
' son stampede and followed the lure j 1
of gold to Nome- He had probably ! f
been in this section of the Terri- j 1
tory for more than 15 years be- , j
cause he was a bartender in the I
old days before prohibition both
here and Latouche. He later en
gaged in a fur-farming venture
here in Seward but no success re
warded his efforts. Probably every
I one in Seward knew him. So far
; as is know he left no relatives
CRIPPLES TISS Ml
CRUTCHES WHEN THEY
HEAR THIS ORCHESTRA
They did it once and they can
do it again,” is the accepted verdict
in regard to the Blue Star Orch
estra which made such a hit when
they made their first bow to So- !
ward dance and music lovers at j
the American Legion Ball- This j
5-piece ensemble have donated i
their services for the big dance of i
t! e Seward Athletic Club, next
Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve at
the Dreamland Hall, and that fact
alone will bring many out. They
put over their stuff with sn^h
' m*ve and eclat, that those who
danced before are certain!v anx
ious for an enchore.
The orchestra consists of saxo
phone, violin, banjo, piano and
drums, and they razz the jazz in
such manner that cripples have
been known to throw away their
clutches or jump from their wheel
chairs at the sound of syncopating
melodies. They are pronounced a
s”re cure for rheumatism.
Don’t forget to remember next
Wednesday night when you put up
your dollar, to save your stub. It
gives you a chance on the fint
uhonograph that has been donated
by Brown and Hawkins Co'^ra
tion.
