SE\N \K1\ \LASKA, ITESDAY. Al’GlTST 31, 1913.
Thus month marks the tenth anniversary of the Seward Gateway. In
the beginning the Gateway was a small paper and littleness in size was
itecfSMr) ibt, but and during the past year, it is and was a
newspaper which contained more type than any other paper in the whole
territory with the possible exception of one. Outside of Juneau where the
newspapers have a population of some seven thousand people to draw from,
he Gateway is the only six-page seven-column daily newspaper in Alaska.
The news that Seward was to be the terminal of the great government rail
road was not waited for. The new Gateway was established, so to speak,
when publishing a pajx'r ot its class in a town of this size was taking a long
i ham e. There is no daily paper in Nome, Fairbanks or any other town out
do of Juneau which has seven columns, not to speak of six pages at all.
And for the past year the conditions were just the same relatively even when
Seward had not been named as the ocean terminal and when the publication
of a good sized paper, regardless of profits, was useful as indicating to Wash
ington and elsewhere that Seward was on the map and a candidate tor term
inal honors that ought not to be ignored. When outsiders wish to “size up”
a tow n they try to get hold of the paper published there and on that paper
will depend very much the convictions formed. Get a cheap newspaper and
the chances are that the town will be considered “cheap." and vice versa.
P,.it that is all in the past. The Gateway has weathered the stormy
period and Seward is the terminal of the great railroad. The growth which
took place in this paper in the past ten years, since its establishment, will
be small compared to the growth of the coming years. Seward’s destiny is to be
great—the greatest city in Alaska and the most important. To represent it
properly the Gateway will continue to expend that it might always be worthy |
*4‘ the pleasant though serious task of being the medium for the news of the
i ity and district. Ten years from this month Seward will be almost infinitely
greatet and the Gate* he found right ahead of its onward and upward
movement.
