Dear Readers; Will you pardon the Gateway again?
Some filthy little lies have recently been told about it. When a man
misquotes another in print he is worse than a man who merely misquotes
him verbally. The latter may In* guilty from haste but the other is a down
right falsifier. Ami this paper has been misquoted in print recently. The
Gateway published the neus as it receives it. It has the greatest and best
telegaphic service in Alaska outside of Juneau and as good as any Juneau
paper has. It never has to stoop to the disgusting practise of faking
news. It prefers to pay a good, hig sum for its service and in this it is
different from many others. Only last Saturday the leading “news” in an
other paper told how Lord Derby made a speech in tho house of lords and
that “Premier Asquith was pre.-ont and made a short reply.” This is faked
new.- pure and simple. Remember, that this is only said in self defense.
The Gateway scorns anyth a m the shape of wrangling until it is placed on
the defence and must protect t olf. Several attempts to cause it to enter
into a squabble have boon ignored. It declines to be undtgmhed enougn 10
labb 09. It wishes to give the best and most reliable news
b it at the time an attack was made on it was the very time the attacker con
tained this “story** a .out Premier Asquith making a speech in the house of
lords. This one little examp » is being used because it is so easy to prove
the fake. Premier Asquith i> a plain “commoner" and is only a member
of the house of commons. He could not speak in the house of lords so the
ignorance of the faker, it; this case and many others, gives the fake away.
Hut that is only one iit'.Ie example of how purchasers of so-called newspapers
can be deceived and hoodwinked and fooled. The (Gateway will try once more
to ignore ill-bred and envious remarks. Let us hope we shall have patience
enough to d*3 so.
The complete and sudden ending of navigation in Cook Inlet for the
year is to be regrett* 1 for the sake of Anchorage. The closing up of the
water road to Anchorage at this time of the year is going to prove to the
government and to the world that tor nearly halt the year anyhow, bow aid
mu. t be regu’ded as the only possible terminal of the government railroad.
The fact that so nuu h freight is unable to get into Anchorage shows that
sonw shippers, the Fngineeriiu- Commission included, were deceived by the
mild weather < ? last year and look* ir a longer season of navigation. No
cue can be blamed for t ;is. It looks as though the weather gods had some
thing against b’ewaid or the Democratic administration or something and
made last winter mild purposely. From this time forward it will be at least
mildly interesting to Seward people to observe the effects which the closing
of the Inlet navigation will have on this city.

DETAILS OF THE
SUICIDE IN FAIRBANKS
FAIRBANKS—Either in a fit of
despondency, or while temporarily
1 insane, Charles Skofland committed
suicide last evening in the California
saloon, by shooting himself through
the head with a 38.-caliber revolver.
Why he committed the rash act no
one knows as he left nothing, so far
as is known, to indicate that he had
| any troubles.
The shooting took place shortly
after 7 o’clock, and notwithstanding
the fact that the bullet passed
through his head and about 28 feet
from his body, Skofland lived until
0:20 passing away at St. Joseph’s
hospital after everything possible
had been done to save his life.
Skofland was about 33 years of age,
a native of Mandal Amt, Norway,
about 5 feet 5 inches tall, of light
! complexion, with clear skin, and
smoothly shaven.
The Suicide
Shortly after 6:30 last evening.
Skofland walked into the California
saloon, stood in front of the bar for,
a couple of minutes, and calling an-,
other man up, bought a drink for
both of them. He was not drunk and
had "hoV been drinking to excess, as
he showed no signs of the least in
toxication.
Leaving the man with whom he
was talking, Skofland walked to the
rear of the large poolroom and, turn
I ing to the left, took the last seat in
a long row of chairs standing near
the wall. As the lights in the room
were not turned on, it was rather
i dark where he was sitting, and no
particular attention was paid to him.
Pat Megan, of Graehl, who was sit
ting about six seats away from Skof
land, happened to turn toward the
unfortunate man just in time to see
him put the revolver to his head and
tire the fatal shot.
As soon as Hegan saw him put the
i revolver to his head he jumped to
nis feet and started toward Skof
land, but not in time to prevent him
from pulling the trigger. No sooner
had the shot been fired than Hcgen
had the revolver in his hand, wrest
ing it from the injured man.—Times.
The papers are poking fun at an
Iditarod schoolma’am because she
writes poetry and teaches school.
After reading some of the effusions
emanated by poetic aspirants, it is a
source of wonderment that poetry
and brains can occupy the same
cranium.—Valdez Miner.

DAUGHTER OF IDITAROD MAN
WEDS THE MAN OF HER CHOICE
SEATTLE, Oct. 17.—Miss Irene
Rudd, daughter of Albert Rudd, the
well known mining man of Iditarod,
Alaska, was married here today to
Ernest Scherman, of Ellensburg,
i Washington. The couple eloped from
Ellensburg. They stated after their
marriage that the parents of both
objected to the wedding on account
of the youth of both parties.
Seen by a reporter a few moments
after she was wedded to the young
man of her choice, Mrs. Scherman
said: “I don’t think I am too young
to get married, do you ? I wonder
what papa will say! Oh, yes, he’s
away up in Alaska. Yes, I’m going
back there myself next summer if
Erny will go, as 1 like to be near
papa.”
For the present the young couple
will make their home at Ellensburg,
where the groom has lucrative em
ployment.
MARSHAL RENDERS REPORT
FAIRBANKS—The report of the
lT. S. Marshal’s office for the quarter
ending October 1, was rendered to
the court and accepted last week. It
shows that the expenditures of the
office during the quarter were $6«V
:I62.06, as compared with an expendi
ture of $49,729.51) during the Septem
ber quarter of 1914. The increase r*
explained by the fact that $17,0d7.10
was paid out during the quarter just
reported upon as salaries of federal
officials. The expenditures of the
quarter were therefore smaller this
year than last.—Ex.
The four companies of infantry on
duty in Alaska are to be brought up
to their full military strength of
about 1(>0 men each, according to an
announcement by the war department.
The posts at Fort Seward, Fort Lis
cum, Fort (iibbon, Fort St. Michael
and Fort Davis have at the present
time about half of their war strength.
