\\ ALASKA MOIIE
So there is to he a real moving pic
ture depicting incidents that might
have transpired in Alaska but with
proper Alaskan settings! The Smith
company, which arrived in Seward
yesterday enroute to the studio in
California, has been taking scenes in
the Northland for the past several
months. Now the Cateway desires to
give a little warning regarding the
titles to be used—•
Don’t use the hackneyed and lying
title “the land that Cod forgot.”
Don't use a title like many have
done, "the land where there is no law,
no order.” for during the recent three j
months three criminals, who had per
haps seen titles in the movies regard
ing Alaska, came north, but they are
now hack behind the bars. Again
there is more order here than in many
cities in the states, of course with the
exception of Anchorage which in press
dispatches admits it is a real had
burg.
Don't use the title about the land
"that is bounded by snow and ice.
Alaska has no such boundaries, ex
cept in the Arctic, any more than
Minnesota. Montana, New York, \ er
mont. Maine or New Hampshire.
Don’t use any titles that will give
the wrong impression about, the
north. Mr. Smith, because hundreds
are traveling to Alaska every year
and they will tind out the truth. ^ ou
have been here, and try for once to
give something real in your reels.
Truth is just as good shown on the
screen as any false impressions and
really make a better hit.
Don't blazon out on your titles, the
truth about Anchorage, even if that
town did admit being a hip-ioaiing
bad place, because Anchorage is such
a little place after all that the people
in the states might believe that all
Alaska needed the President to sup
press wickedness. IV charitab.**
the burg by the Inlet.
Just be on the square, and your
picture will prove a success, it is
hoped, for the Smith Moving Picture
company is the first to venture out of
the ordinary ami do something
thy.
PROCLAMATION
Perhaps there is no better reading
than the proclamation of President
Wilson in designating Thanksgiving
Day and it is hero printed for* the
benefit of all Gateway readeis.
“It has long been the honored cus
tom of our people to turn in the !iu:t
ful autumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God :or His
many blessings and mercies to us as a
nation. That custom we can follow
now. even in the midst ot the traged\
of a world shaken by war ami im
measurable disaster, in the midst of
sorrow and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gathered
about us we can see the groat bless
ings God has bestowed upon us. bless
ings that are better than mere peace
of mind and prosperity of enterprise.
**We have been given the oppor
tunity to sene mankind as we once
served ourselves in the great day of
our declaration of independence, by
taking up arms against a tyranny
that threatened to master and debase
men everywhere and joining ^ith
other free peoples in demanding i°’
all the nations of the world what we
then demanded for ourselves. In this
da\ of the revelation of our duty, not
only to defend our own right as a na
tion, but to defend also the rights of
free men throughout the world, there
has been vouchsafed us in full and in
spiring measure the resolution and
spirit of united action. VVe have been
brought to one mind and purpose. A
new vigor of common counsel and
common action has been revealed in
us. VVe should especially thank God
that in such circumstances, in the
midst of the greatest enterprise the
spirits of men have ever entered up
on, we have* if we but observe a rea
sonable ami practicable economy,
abundance with which to supply th»
needs of those associated with us, a>
well as our own. A new light shine.
about us. The great duties of a daj
awaken a new and greater national
spirit in us. VVe shall never again bo
divided or wonder what stulf we are
made of.
“Ami while we render thanks 101
these things let u.*' pray Almight)
Hod that in all humbleness of spirit
we may look to Him for guidance;
that we may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of service; that by
Hi. grace our minds may be directed
and our hands strengthened; and that
in His good time liberty and security
and peace and the comradeship of a
common justice may be vouchsafed
all the nations of the earth.
“Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States ot
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 20th day of November next,
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer
and invite the people throughout the
land to cea<e upon that da\ Horn thou
ordinary occupations and in their sev
eral homes and places of worship to
render thanks to God, the great rule!

heap. A sturdy immigrant was al
ways waiting to take the place of
every worn-out man.
But today the laborer enfeebled or
overstrained by excessive hours sim
ply cannot be replaced. Not only is |
there no new supply coming in, but
through the draft and the great ex
pansion of industry the reserve is be
ing exhausted.
Secretaries Baker and Daniels are
understood to have endorsed the
standardization of the working da>,
and it now awaits only the approval
of President Wilson, who is believed
to be entirely favorable.
