SEN vRD, ALASKA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1915.
A certain Seward man who is going out on the Evans may take it upon
himself to go back to Washington and say he represents the people here or
any portion of them. He is a gentleman who has the most extraordinary
ideas on most matters and very often is annoying. He has been to this
paper, anyhow, and the Gateway was compelled to make an enemy of him be
cause to be a friend meant publishing absurdities which he seemed never to
be tired hatching. It is quite possible that his activities at Washington
might be hurtful to Seward ami Seward’s paper, therefore, formally states
that there is no one going out to represent this city or people.
---——
The San Francisco publication know n as the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce Activities, ami which is the bulletin of the chamber of commerce,
states in the i.>."ue which came to hand yesterday that the Daily Gateway is
the largest paper in Alaska. That is a pleasant reminder of the fact that
even on the outside the Gateway is not overlooked. The San Francisco pub
lication, however, may have gone a little too far. lhe Gateway may not be
the largest but it can fairly be culled one of the two largest in the territory.
Hut size is not .so much. The fact that it supplies its readers with the great
United Dress service every day and can publish the news just as quickly
as it is published in Seattle is some little boast for Alaska, lhe Gateway
gets so large a service that there is no necessity for padding, of faking, or
making little occurrences look like big ones, or any of the other little
despicable tricks practised by papers without a standing.

The fact that the building of the railroad from Mile Seventy-one to An
chorage would cost between two and three million dollars shows one very
great reason why the work has not been started—the very great and strong
reason that there was no money. When the money is appropriated for the
work it is to be hoped that Seward as much as possible will be made the base
of operations. At that time the road will be in condition for the shipping
of supplies direct to the work from this city, so Seward may be the base for
much more than the work of merely repairing the present line.
MRS. GALT TO SETTLE
SOME OLD SCORES
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Gilson
Gardner, writing yesterday for the
United Press, said that Mrs. Ga<^
soon become Mrs. Woodrow Wil
son and the first lady of the land,
“is settling old scores with Washing
ton society. Her husband was ‘in
trade,’ so Washington society did not
take her in and the score has been
piling up for 19 years. Before mar
riage Edith Bolling did not know
what it was to receive a snub. The
Bollings’ were ‘kin’ to all the first
families of Virgina, but trade—retail
trade, even jewelry and even though

its traditional bar sinister on the
name of Galt, as Washington did not
extend its arms. So there you are.
The President has picked for the
greatest social honor Washington
knows, a person quite unknown to
social Washington. He has elevated
this ‘person* from ‘trade* to dipense
the social honors of the nation. Talk

USE OF ALASKAN
COAL ON NATION'S
WARSHIPS URGED
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane is co-operating with Secre
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
to bring about the use of Alaskan
coal in United States battleships next
summer. This inference is drawn by
Alaskans from the fact that Secre
tary Lane has announced that he will
ask for $9,000,000 for construction
work on the government railroad next
season. This sum is sufficient to put
in all the necessary bridges between
Anchorage and the Matanuska coal
fields and to complete the laying of (
track to that point.
In the event of the fields being open
ed next year, the navy department
doubtless will send a fleet of colliers
into the North and may dispatch a
number of warships to Alaska for
coal. Engineers in the service of the
navy department have been in Alaska
all summer selecting pier and bunker |
sites. George Watkin Evans, mining :
engineer for the government, also j
spent the summer in the north ami,
after dividing the coal fields into |
workable units is now completing his ;
maps.—(Seattle Times.)

FAIRBANKS—In a recent letter
received by E. B. Collins, speaker of
the territorial house of represents-,
tives, W. W. Getchell, a representa
tive from the Nome district, who is j
now at Seward, asks the endorsement i
of the Fox man for a plan he has for
opening a sanitarium at the railroad
terminus. Mr. Getchell hopes to open
a sanitaruim which will be in a posi
tion to take care of all the Alaska in
sane without sending them to the
States.
Mr. Collins stated yesterday that
he was in favor of Mr. Getchell’s plan
or any other plan that would prevent
the insane from being sent outside
where they do not receive as good
treatment as they are entitled to.—

IDITAROD BEST ALASKA
PLACER CAMP PER CAPITA
Former Senator Henry Roden, who
is in Juneau for a few' weeks on busi
ness, says Iditarod is the best placer
camp per capita in Alaska. He pre
dicts that its 1915 output will total
$3,000,000—within $500,000 to $1,
000,000 of the total for the so-called
Fairbanks district, and the latter
draws from several camps located
100 to 150 miles away, while the Idit
arod output is for the district in the
immediate vicinity of that town.
“Of course,” said Mr. Roden, “Fair
banks is the leading town in the in
terior of Alaska, but that is not be
cause it is a better placer camp than
Iditarod. It is because it is the com
mercial and official center of the In
terior country, and, as such, draws
from the whole Yukon and Tanana
valleys.”—Ex.
