TO TOILERS OF THE SEA
Perhaps it is not generally kitbwn that seamen are
entitled to full hospital service under the U. S. Public
Health regulations and that the Seward General Hos
pital is authorized to look after these cases, or perhaps
it is because these hardy halibuters are rarely ill or in
jured despite their hazardous occupation. Nevertheless,
only twro halibut fishermen have been brought to the;
local haven of cure within past months, the second pa-i
tient arriving on the schooner Radio a few days ago.
The Gateway has called attention to this excellent j
provision several times and feels like doing so again.!
,We wish it could be known all thru the halibut fleet
that they as well as all the other toilers of the sea are
welcome here in case of sickness or accident and we
tell them so proudly since Seward is now' equipped
with one of the best hospitals in the wiiole Territory.
The Westward waters are bound to take their toll
in spite of all human efforts, but it is comforting to
know that Seward can now extend a soothing and heal
ing hand backed by a generous purse of Uncle Sam.
NOCTURNAL JACKALS IN HUMAN FORM
Its bad enough to steal pennies from a dead man’s
eyes altlio it doesn’t hurt the dead man, but it certain
ly reaches the limit when they steal wood from a widow
who is alive, left alone in the world, struggling for ex
i s fence
For the name of our fair city we hate to admit it,
but that has happened in Seward during the past
few nights. The wood placed within fifteen feet of her
home last year by the husband who has siynce passed
away, has almost entirely disappeared thru the agency
of some nocturnal jackals in human form.
There will be some stern and hearty prosecutions
of these miscreants as soon as their identity is learn
ed, and that is in a fair way of accomplishment.
Just as an appropriation was sent North to study
the Northern Lights, somebody turned the lights off.

II HOPE CLEANUPS
There has been considerable
mining activity in the Hope dist
rict during the past season, accord
ing to H. L. Miller of Hope, and the
showings of several prooerties have
been excellent. Mr. Miller is a vis
itor in Seward for dental treat
ment but has not been prosecuting
any work on his own holdings.
It was reported that a cleanup
made on the Tom Leech hydraulic
workings on lower Bear Creek ■
about a month ago showed 100!
ounces, he said. Another cleanup j
should have been made a few days
ago and it was expected that this
would be even better. Due to colder
weather water is getting scarce and
it is quite probable that active op- ;
erations will cease at once.
John Hershey has just finished j
work on his quartz property on Pal
mer Creek. Although Mr. Hershey |
has not been giving out much in- j
formation regarding his property
it is generally believed in the dist- !
rict that he is making good on
what will turn out to be a real
mine- Prospects are good for con
siderable work at Hope next season,
Mr. Miller believed.
