NEWS NOTES
Editorially yesterday the Gateway
drew attention to Captain Hickmans
statement that the Electric Company
has saved Seward from tire. It is
said that one of the water company
officials, after reading this statement
and the Gateway's endorsement of it,
suggested good-humouredly and wit
tily that if the Gateway were ever in
a tire it might try turning an electric
light on the blaze. But, of course,
what was meant was that the electric
company is the prevention. lhe
water company is the cure. The old
comparison of Prevention with t ure
might he suggested, although a cure
is not so bad, either.
If poets or weather observers or
such looked over the east side of Kes
urrection bay today they would see a
vast region of cloud stretching away
behind the mountains, while over
Seward all was blue and cold. This
is explained by oldtimers by the
statement that the cloud meant soft
weather in Prince W illiam Sound, due
to the Japan current. Where the
cloud ami the blue met is the divid
ing line between the interior cold and
the region affected by the current.
A popular young city official will
be married here about the midtile of
January and he and hi> bride will live
in the new Noon building on Wash
ington street. The future bridegroom
has no objection to saying this much.

It is not generally known in
ard that the streets were named after
the Presideutg of the United States.
Beginning at Washington we come to
Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe. Let us hope that if the practise
is continued to name the streets after
the Presidents and to follow the
Presidents in direct succession the
town will extend for enough to have
a Wilson street in its proper place.

TWO ASPIRANTS
AFTER HONORS
Who will be the next speaker of
the house of representatives of the
Alaska assembly and the president of
the Senate. That is now an interest
ing question with members and pros
pective members. Last assembly
Sutherland was president of the Sen
ate and K. 11. Collins speaker in the
house. Collins was defeated for re
election from the Fourth division.
Frank Aldrich is the Democrat as
pirant for president of the Senate,
and W. T. Burns of the Fourth Di
vision is the Democratic candidate
for speaker of the House. The Re
publicans have a majority of one in
both the House and Senate and it
would seem that by a unanimous vote
they could name most of the legis
lative officers. No doubt there will
be some lively caucuses held in Ju
neau before the legislature convenes
to determine the presiding officers and
the clerk of the House and Senate and
other leading officers and employes.—
Ex.
Up to two years ago the climate of
Alaska was apparently becoming
milder and various reasons were giv
en, amongst which was that the
Japan current was coming nearer.
Another reason was supposed to be
that the ice in the Northwest chan
nel was going into the Atlantic. The
ice movement was vouched for by
Amundsen. Since last year the Japan
; current and the northwest ice must
have both gone back home, darn ’em.

INCREASE IN PRICE OF
FLOUR ACCOUNTED FOR
A grain dealer who recently re*
turned to Minneapolis from a busi
ness trip to New York, says the peo
ple need not wonder any longer at
the cause for the increase in the price
of flour. On his visit east, he claims
to have discovered the “nigger” in
the woodpile. He says that the en
tente allies are behind every bushel
of wheat in the country; and their
agents, operating from N. Y., are con
stantly on the alert to buy more.
i According to a report he said:
“Every time the market drops a few
cents, foreign buyers quietly scoop up
all the way from 500,000 to 1,000,
000 bushels. The buying is done
mostly from Chicago, Kansas Cityand
Omaha with a little in Duluth. The
situation is serious,” he says.
This dealer claims that the only
remedy which can be offered offhand
is an embargo, which he claims will
become necessary unless the war
sto,»s.—Ex.
