SEW ARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER is. 1915,
The Gateway yesterday paid four cents a word—FOUR CENTS A
WORD_for iis telegraph dispatches so that the people of Seward might'
learn today what was going on in the outside world today. Of course, that
is not a paving game. Sew-aril i> yet too small to justify that expenditurt!
but the Gateway is a sport and has been a sport and took its medicine when
the gamble went against it in the dark days ot Seward before it was a great
railroad terminal.
By a strenuous bit of work and by the payment of this great price the
people of Seward were told of the horrible occurrence near Seattle, what
war news ther* was. the story of the suspected series of murders by Krause,
the sending of Hindenburg to the western front, the denunciation of British
officers by an English lord and other happenings before they became a month
old.
Let us hope, dear friends, that you will not take this as blatherskiting, a
practise which is only too common in the newspaper world, and which com
pels real newspapers, that don t live otT wind, sometimes to speak a word for
themselves.
That infernal old winter is right at our doors again and as things look
now we shall probably be forced to resort to the same old pastimes of other
winters, including gossip. Hut it those pastimes can keep us from getting
grouchy they are all right, even including a little gossip. Gossip ought not
to hurt any of us. If anyone tells anything about you that *'aint so, do
not worry, and if anyone says something about that IS so, don’t worry, any
how. You deserve it and you cannot expect people to call you a paragon of
all the virtues if you are the very opposite. The great trouble about gossip
ing in a small town is that what you say gets to the ears of the person you
talk about, sooner or later. Remember that, dear lady. Just as sure as you
take a whack at someone’s reputation just so surely will that whack reach
the ear drums of the subject of it. I he motto for an Alaska winter ought
to be: “If yo 1 must gossip, gossip as little as you can, and if you can t be
good be careful.”
What may turn out to be tht* most important bit of news of the whole
war was that *>tory cabled yesterday to the effect that the whole British war
cabinet has gone to Paris. Of course, going to Paris from London is just
exactly about the same a> going to Valdez from Seward but why did the
entire war cabinet go? One of these days we shall hear something.

LORD IS NOW
ATINSMITH
HAS THE USUAL FOOL IDEA HE
CAN DO MORE THAN
WORKMAN.
LONDON, Nov. 11.—(Special from
United Press)— Lord Charlemont, 38,
eighth viscount of that noble Irish
family, is in a fair way to become a
member of the Tinplaters union. He
not only admits but welcomes the
possibility.
Lord Charlemont has been working
for months in a munition factory' at
Coal island, Southern England. He
started at $6 a week* and piecework.
To date he has made no less than
$7 a week and sometimes $17. He
has acquired some knowledge of met
al turning and having a knack for
i machinery' admits he has “landed on
| his feet.” He has worked on shells
with trade unionists and there was no
kick. That is where he first got his
idea of joining the tinplaters.
Alongside Lord Charlemont are
gentlemen and laborers, tradesmen,
chauffeurs,, grooms and gardeners—
all making munitions. He declares
they are all making good. Average
intelligence, he insists, backed by a
desire to do one’s best, have beaten
skilled labor at its own game.
“The first day," says I^ord Charle
mont, “I did thirty ten-pounder shells
and thought it jolly good. The sec
ond day I did fifty, and now I do
from 130 to 150 quite easily. I have
been on sixty-pounders also; nasty
things to tackle—weight about 40
pounds apiece and are two feet and
a half long. I can do about fifty or
sixty of them a day and each one pays
me five cents. The miserable ten
pounders are only three farthings.”
DENVER, Nov. 11.—Articles of in
corporation were filed today for two
companies which will manufacture de
hydrated food. De hydrated food is
onions, apples, cabbages, any kind of
food from which the water has been
evaporated. De-hydrated food looks
I more like nothing than anything else.
. Put a chunk of it in water for a few
hours, however, and you may got two
quarts of luscious strawberries on
j December 25.

i BACK TO NATURE
IN PINK TIGHTS
%
(Special by United Press)
HANGOU, Me., Nov. 11.—Young
Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Estes, equip
ped only with pink tights and deter
mination, have gone back to nature
for two months via the Maine woods
around Dead water, Moosehead lake
on the upper Kennebec.
The couple took neither food nor
weapons. Estes says he can make fire
with flint, kill a deer with a stone or
club or bow and arrow, have plenty
of food and make shelter and cover
ing from the hides.
Estes, hunter, trapper, guide, ward
en and herb gatherer, is familiar with
everything that walks, swims or flies:
in the state of Maine. He and Mrs.
Estes said they want to show the
world that folks of today can return
to the primitive and prosper. Estes
is 26 years 'old, as is his wife.
