MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hie Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for rcpublication
of all news dispatches credited ot it or not otherwise credited in this paper
and also the local news published herein.
THE ASSOC IATED PRESS.
When you read the telegraphic news in the Gateway,
•u can rest assured that it is so. The Associated Press
• the greatest news gathering machine in the world, cor
tvsnondents in even* eitv or hamiet on the globe and ali
instructed to tell the truth in ai tews. Again the Asso
ciate 1 Press is always first with the reliable news. Many
limes perhaps this association lias been scooped, refusing
to send out certain news until positively verified, but
those scoops have been seldom, and in nine cases out of
itu. the Associated Press has contained the facts and not
the rumor.
The Gateway receives the full service, day report, of
the Associated Press.This service is in bulletin form, ex
pressed in such a way to permit of the telegraph editor
to play up, keeping w ithin certain bounds. The Gateway
'■as instructed the Associated Press to send the full night
report, thus giving Seward everything that happens, of
importance, but the night service has been held-up for the
time being.
But getting back to the Associated Press reports!
Saturday and Sunday the news ot the big battle on the
Western front was handled, in pony fashion, most admin
1 ly by the' A. P. Seattle correspondent. The Gateway
printed this press matter as it came. As different phases
,,f the battles were received at cl then printed, many doubt

od the facts. But the Associated Press was certain, the
reports were sent just as received fro mabroad and the
public can remain confident that there was no yellowism
: imply cold-blooded facts, told with confirmation. That
is one thing the Associated Press does—gives the facts
not rumors. Again all details are given, as they are as
sembled in the main offices. Splendid service and always
reliable; always first with news, as it is confirmed. The
Gateway is one of the many Alaskan papers taking the
Associated Press Because it receives the reports early ard
does not have to wait for pony correspondents, like other
Alaska papers have, to cull their news from papers in
Seattle, after they are on the street. The Gateway gets
the news hours before the other papers not taking the As
sociated Press, because it conies oirect from the Associat
ed Press office, colorless, facts. Yesterday the Sunday
issue was delayed until the early reports came in, for all
wanted to know the very latest on the present war situa
tion. The Associated Press was on the job, was not in
structed to do so, but gave a warning to editors in Alaska
that something would be sent, good or bad news, but
something to show the progress of the great conflict. As
far as the Gateway is concerned, although the Alaska re
port costs money, the Associated Press has positive in
structions to send nows, even if only a bulletin, at an^ bout
of the day or night, regarding the breaking of something
important in the great world. The Gateway has never
been turned down yet and never will as long as a client of
this big news gathering organization. Again, don’t for
get, if it is in the Gateway, it is correct, for it bears the
stamp of the Associated Press.
Registration for the city election closes this coming
Saturday night. Have you registered ? Remeber all
must register for this election no matter when you regis

MURDER CASE
AT MCCARTHY
IS UNSOLVED
/
According to mail advices received
by the Gateway, there is much excite
ment at McCarthy owing to the fail
ure of the Federal oflicials there to
bring to justice the murderer of Rose
^dberg, and to solve the mysterious
d.Mtli of Joe Iretry. Roth fatalities
occurred at McCarthy about two
weeks ago. A Japanese was arrested
but the authorities failed to connect
him with the murder or sudden death.
U. S. Marshal Rrenneman has been
appealed to and it is understood that
a special otTicer will be detailed on the
cases.
