SEWARD, ALASKA. THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1916.
Seward people have apparently been made to look like d- fools all
over the territory by the vaporous talk about imaginary opposition to the
railroad appropriation. The fact is some of those other camps are laughing
at us and the Gateway wishes to remind those other towns and newspapers
and communities that neither itself nor the bulk of the pt^ple of this district
were in the ’east way associated with the egregious asininity. To give an
idea of the manner ’n which other places looked at the tommyrot spouted
a out this faked opposition the following editorial from the Ruby Record
Citizen, reproduced in the Cordova Times, will be useful.
“Seward papers have found a mare’s nest. Steve Burch, Palcon Joslin,
Col. W. P. Richardson and the New York and Seattle organs of the Alaska
Syndicate have entered into a fell conspiracy to strangle the government
railroad project from Seward to Fairbanks until another administration (
comes in, which they hope the Alaska Syndicate can control as completely j
as it controlled the Taft adminisration, they say. The object in view is a j
chance for the Alaska Syndicate to get rid of the Copper River railroad, which
is a white elephant, and which opens no resources but the copper mines owned
by the Syndicate, they also say. Tart of the general plan is to defeat Dele
gate Wickersham for reelection and to send a delegate in his place who will
oppose further appropriations for the government railroad.
The Seward papers are confirmed in their surmise of such a conspiracy j
by John K. Bailair.e, who has gone to Washington to drive a nail in the
coffin of Joslin and his co-lobbyists.
All this is “good stuff” in an overdone newspaper field where war news
palls and little else is available. That there is much substance the sen- j
sation is not apparent. The law has authorized the buildirg of the Alaska
railroad, the machinery is organized and in operation. It is not hkdy j
that a lobby could be formed with “front” enough to get in the way of the
Alaska railroad project at this stage of the game; or that if it did it would
r.ot cut any figure in the regular course of events.
The thing that looks queer about the whole business is that such a hollei
should be mad.' about a “corrupt” lobby at a time when an opposing lobby is
so much alive.
If outsiders are to carry superior wisdom to Washington for the aid of
the administration and Congress, probably the administration and Congress
had as well be permitted to make their own choice among the advisers.
There is a familiar twang to all this dope, and it is not likely to fluster
anyone very much.”

LIEUTENANT FROM SEATTLE
WINS A BRIDE
LONDON, Jan. 19.—One of the real
romances of the war will culminate
soon at Amsterdam in the marriage of
Lieut. H .G. Rawline, Bournemouth,
| Eng., formerly of Seattle, Wash., to
Miss E. De Jong. At the outbreak of j
hte war Lieutenant Rawlins, living in
Seattle, enlisted at the office of
1 the British consul there. Re-'
turning to England, he was commis-1
sioncd an officer in the Royal Naval
i Division and went to Antwerp with
i
Winston Churchill’s naval brigade, j
l Rawlins met his future bride in the
military hospital at Amsterdam after:
his brigade was forced to rereat into
Holland. The hospital was in charge
of Dr. De Jong, who often brought
his comely daughter to visit the
wounded. It was love at first sight
when she saw Lieutenant Rawlins, j
