Entered as second class matter at the postofflce, Seward, Alaska.
TO THE GATEWAY and that means to Seward belongs the honor of being
the second to be served with news from the great Associated Press in all
Alaska. The first paper to receive the great
SEW VHP GETS V. P. news service was the Dispatch, a daily news
paper published in the capital of the territory.
This fact is a good omen in itself. We may not be the capital. Juneau,
may be the Washington of Alaska, but,
SEWARD WILL PE THE NEW YORK OK ALASKA.
The Gateway, by possessing the Associated Press service is enabled to
give the people of Seward the same news as the people outside at the same
hour of the day. This is possible because of the difference of time between
Seward and the outside. It also means that the news will be sent by the
greatest news association on the American continent, and when this news is
not correct it will not be correct outside, but when the Associated Press sends
news it sends it as nearly correct as it is possible for any news service in the
world to supply it.
The Associated Press may come a little bit too early to Seward or it nia>
not. but. anyhow , the Gateway wants to be prepared for the coming of that
great day when hundreds will become thousands and Seward will be in fact
as well as in name the great, the only real gateway to the Alaskan empire.
TO TRY to grasp the idea of what the present war is presents practically
the same difficulty as tr\ing to grasp the idea of infinite spaie.
Our limited human imagination ut
V\ iNCONt E1Y VBl.E W VK terlv fails to limn the picture on the
canvass of our minds. Can anyone
imagine even a distance of two hundred and sixty miles? Try to remember
some journey you have made of that distance and then try to follow it mile
by mile and see how you succeed.
We cannot even have that much impressed on our memories and much less
can we conceive of two lines of armed human beings stretched along that dis
tance and waiting for the word to hurl themselves in a grip of death.
Today the world stands either in arms actually or on guard lest they be
drawn into the vortex of slaughtering passions which have obsessed the great
powers of Europe and Asia. Men are dying by hundreds and we read as
calmly about it as we might have read of the slaughtering of pigs. War ex
perts tell us that France, Russia and Britain can put more than eleven mil
lions of warriors in the field and that Germany and Austria can order more
than seven millions to the butchery*
If only rive per cent a mere five per cent—of those men lose their lives
in the conflict—and five per cent is a small percentum of deaths in w ar it
means that four millions of human being will be murdered legally, as mad
dogs are murdered.
And each of those corpses will have at least three relatives waiting at
home for the sounds of the steps that those bodies used to make in life, and
for the sound of the tongues that are now hanging from mutilated faces.
Sixteen million people sunk in battered death or in despairing agon}.
And the population of ul! Alaska is sixty thousand, white and black and
colored. Sixty thousand—less than the number of corpses that lie today on
the plains of Europe’s battlefields, and not more than a sixteenth part of
the number that must yet be butchered.
And, still, we cannot grasp it. What a weak thing the human intelli
gence is.

Petersburg—An unaccountable late
season ha* somewhat worried the can
nery" men up till now; and great ap
prehension was felt all along that pos
sibly this year would also prove an
other failure. However, the last few
days have shown better. Out of 8000
salmon brought in Thursday evening
at the company’s cannery, 4000 were
sockeyes. The sockeye this season has
helped considerable. Captain Sander
son of the company’s cannery tender,
the Marian, said that nearly 4000
cases of sockeye was already put up
by the company with a bright pros
pect of a irood many more thousand.
Dawson—Gold shipments have be
Kun from Dawson and $250,000 was
taken out by the first boat The yield
from the Klondike for this season is
estimated at $5,000,000.
