$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C., M. & St. P. Ky. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive — the most powerful in all the
world—and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” sendee.

SATURN BOYS
PLAN DANCE
FOR SEWARD
When the U. S. S. Saturn returns
again to this Northern Metropolis, the
Ship’s Company intends to give a big
“get acquainted dance" for the people
of this town. Everybody is invited.
The program will be headed and fea
tured by a Military Grand March.
Lieutenant Frank Luckel, commanding
the Saturn and the Radio Expedition,
will lead and will be followed by offi
cers and men of the ship and Seward
people who will be in for a good time.
For the benefit of those who have
never taken part in a Grand March
let it be said that it is the easiest
t hing imaginable. All one has to do is
to follow the leader, and you will have
a good one, and watch the man at
the turns. He will show one just
where to go.
Now, the matter of new and good
music is a big thing in a dance. The
dance committee, headed by Chief
Yeoman Dawley, will attempt to have
only the best and latest pieces for the
best and latest dances. Mr. Friend,
of The Gateway, hits suggested, and
it is a good suggestion, too, that any
of Seward's progressive young ladies
who may happen to have some of the
latest dance selections, will please lend
them to the committee in charge of
securing the music for the dance, and
are assured that the best possible care
will be taken •and the writer wishes
| to personally state that for every
piece mutilated he will himself make
more than good the loss of such mu
sic by sending two for one of the lat
est pieces back to the owners when
he returns South, so of course none
will be spoiled.
The tentative date for this dance
will be December first and the time
nine o'clock sharp. There will be a
long and well-assorted program and
the dancing will continue to the wee
sma’ hours if everyone enjoys them
selves.
JIMMY DOING I
HIS BIT; HELPS
TOBACCO FUND
Knee high to a grasshopper, young,
Jimmie Stewart, braving the snow J
drifts, came into The Gateway office!
this forenoon and lisped out that he
had money for “smokes for the sol
diers.” Then little Jimmie pulled out
from his mitten, a pocketbook which
contained $1.50. He was so excited
about making the contribution that
those in the office had a hard time
getting his name but finally succeeded.
Little Jimmie said, between his ex
i citements, that he wanted to help all
he could in the war and although too
little to fight, would do the next best!
' thing, help supply tobacco to the boys
who are fighting.
That is the spirit of the giving to
I the “light a pipe for the boys in the
trenches” campaign, which has only
two more days to run as far as rlhe‘
Gateway is concerned.
Liberal ones in Seward are coming
forward in good shape as the contri-j
butions up to noon will show. But
1 there are others in Seward, many of
them who should, for the good ot the
cause, come in with their two-bits—
all that is asked—or more, just what
they can afford. If you are too mod
est ami do not want your name to be
printed, that can be easily fixed, but
.the campaign should have your dona
tion.
At noon on Thursday the list will oe
closed, the names all rechecked and
tabulated, then a draft will be secured'
and the money sent to New ^ork. The
money will purchase tobacco, chewing!
and smoking, cigarettes and papers, j
and the shipment will go forward to,
the trenches, arriving for the boys to
enjoy around about the holidays. In
about two or three months, those who
have contributed will begin to receive J
post car.ds from “somewhere in
France” telling them of the receipt of |
the tobacco and the card will be sign
ed by the “boy” who is enjoying the
smokes.
Remember, the list closes at noon ■
on Thursday. Are you in on it ?

bacco fund from noon yesterday to

SELDOVIA IS BOOMING I
Reports from Seldovia state that the
little town is experiencing a boom on
account of the prosperous conditions
of the numerous fishing companies op
erating in the waters of Kachemak
! Bay. Several new companies have
' been organized during the past year
) and are operating at a profit. The
herring fishing industry is especially
active.
Programs will be on hand and re
freshments served, but we will leave
all that to a later date when fuller
particulars will be published.
Now, all I can say is, remember what
is in store, be liberal in the loan of
your latest music; a list of sugges-j
tions will be had at the office of The
j Seward Gateway, and “stand-by” for
a good time. I thank you.
