ANCHORAGE ICE
WORMS GIVING
RADIO PROGRAM
FINE PROGRAM GIVEN PUBLIC
EVERY MONDAY NIGHT ON
250 WAVE LENGTH
Gus Gilles, an enthusiastic radio
fan and well known traveling man,
stated to a Gateway representative
that a broadcast station has been
erected at Anchorage and that every
Monday night from 8:30 to 10:30
o’clock the Anchorage Ice Worms, a
branch of the Anchorage Radio Club,
broadcast a fine program on 250 me
ters, the program consisting of piano
saxophone and violin solos, singing by
a quartette and other numbers. Mr.
Gilles stated that upon the arrival of
a new microphone which has been
ordered organ recitals will be given
from the big pipe organ at the Em
press theatre.
George Buchanan, chief wire man
of the Alaska Railroad, is president
of the club; Frank Berry, city electri
cian is vice president; Frank Arnold
secretary and treasurer; and Gus Gil
les is official announcer. Wm. Murray
is in charge of the programs.
Any persons furnishing proof that
they have heard these programs over
a radio is eligible for membership in
the club, and already 42 members have
signed up and every mail brings appli
cations from towns in the Territory
which have listened in on these pro
grams. A tesf was made Thursday
night by J. P. Hannon, of this city,
which was quite satisfactory, the mu
sical selections being heard quite
plainly. After the concert Mr. Hannon
advised the broadcaster on several
important changes to be made in his
sending. The operator in charge at
Anchorage is Mr. L. A. Watson, a li
censed operator of the department un
der Secretary of Commerce.
The aim of the Anchorage Radio
Club is to promote interest in the ra
dio and to clean up interference in
the Inlet city. It would Be a good
idea to form a club of the same char
acter in Seward.
GUS BORGEN TO
ARIZONA SOON
SEE NEW STRIKE
Gus Borgen, former Seward busi
ness man, is going to Arizona soon
where he is interested in several oil
claims near Holbrook, on the waters
of the Little Colorado river. Upon
leaving Seward some months ago Mr.
Botgen intended going direct to his
holdings but owing to later reports he
has been attending other business in
stead according to a letter received
last week by Jos. Badger, proprietor
of the Van Gilder Hotel.
Mr. Borgen spent the Holidays at
his home in Palo Alto, but was plan
ning going to a new strike in Inyo
county, California, which has aroused
considerable interest among old tim
ers. It is in this county that the fa
mous Death Valley is located, together
with the Panamint, Pinto and Inyo
ranges of mountains. Mr. Borgen had
previously made several trips to San
Francisco, he wrote, and had met up
with a number of Alaskans among
whom were Jack Finnegan, Leo Mar
gules, Dr. Daggett, Joe Conroy, Ber
nie Stone, T. W. Hawkins, John Ha
den, H. Graef, A. A. Shonbeck, Capt.
Ivan L. Peterson, A. E. Sawyer, Ever
ett Krefting, and James Hawkins.
Capt. Peterson was a visitor in Sew
ard twice last summer during his
brief trip into the Chickaloon district
where he plans drilling for oil next
spring. Mr. Borgen states that Cap
tain Peterson will return to Alaska in
March and start actual operations.
He has been very successful in pro
moting his company, it is reported.
Mr. Borgen also reports that Joe
Conroy, former attorney and mayor
of Anchorage, has purchased a half
interest in the publishing firm of Ev
erett Krefting, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Krefting, old time residents
of Seward. James Hawkins is a mem
ber of the newspaper staff of the com
pany and is making splendid head
way.
The main topic of conversation
around the hotel lobbies of Califor
nia is of oil and mining and in this
respect every indication points to
much new capital coming to Alaska
this year. In conclusion Mr. Borgen
sends his regards to his many local
friends.

THE SEWARD
Weekly Gateway
Will be published every Friday, the
tirst issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE in
the field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly LOOO
copies it will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and ter
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries. The Seward
Weekly Gateway will have nearly exclusive entry to the vast'district west ot Sew
ard owing to geographic location, and will liave a splendid staff of correspondents
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect m a weekly paper.
We believe this new venture will prove sucessful inasmuch as it will offer an adver
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published in Seward, for a time at
Least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublication, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $2.00 per month.
Only $3.00 the Year
