The manager of the Northwest Land 1 loducts Ex
osition which is to be held in Seattle in the first part of
October has asked the co-operation of the Gateway in aid
ing Manager J. L. McPherson ol the Alaska Liueaii to
secure a good exhibit from Alaska. This much is said
here to draw the attention of the people oi Seward to the
tine opportunity that will be then presented to advertise
this district. It is a chance which should not !>e let slip.
Some ladies or school children during the holidays
ought to study the names of the wildllowers and plants
that grow around Seward. In places, such a> that at tut
head of the bay. there are masses of wildllowcrs so thick
that they remind one of the great artificial bods lain out on
Fair grounds, and no one seems to know the names of au\
two varieties of them* Now, very young lilies, it L hai d
ly right to have such pretty neighbors and not he able to
recognize or greet them by name. Grt acquainted and in
troduce us all. It will be a pleasant and instructive pas
time for you.
This paper has known for some time and most people
now seem to know that many believe that the coming di
visional conventions of the Republicans in Alaska may
nominate or endorse Mr. \\ iekersham as the candidate ot
their party for congress. That such a plan was afoot has
been suggested to this office again and again by men who
ought to have some inside information but the Gateway
has refrained from commenting on the subject until it
was printed in another paper, as by doing so it avoided
giving publicity to a rumor which may not be well found
ed. It is now mentioned only to draw attention to a sug
gestion which is fraught with political possibilties of a
really interesting nature.

Anchorage people objected to the sale of more lots in
that town by the government because by such a sale their
own property might be reduced in value. They probably
have come to the conclusion that the city has been spread
over too great an area even now. This fear does not seem
to exist here in Seward notwithstanding the possibilities
that when the government sells the Terminal tract lots a
complete little town will probably be started up there with
stores and everything complete. The reason Seward says
Ichkabibel is because it knows Fourth Avenue on the
Terminal tract and Fourth Avenue in the old townsite will
soon he one solidly built up throughfare. The suburb of
today will bo the city proper of tomorrow, and Seward has
fifteen thousand years of life in which to absorb those sub
urbs and keep absorbing them.

WICKERSHAM MEN MAY
ATTEMPT A COUP ON
REGULAR REPUBLICANS
it is said that the Wickcrsham sup
porters in Alaska may attempt to
I capture the Republican divisional
conventions in the separate judicial
divisions of Alaska and secure his
nomination for Delegate to Congress
at each of them in turn. It is urged
by those Wickcrshamites who favor
that course that the success of such a
movement could be claimed as indi
I eating that the masses of the Republi
can party favor Delegate Wickcr
sham, and that he could take a nomi
nation from the masses without being
under any obligations to the regular
organization which was in contiol of
the Republican convention at Seward.
It is said by those favoring this
method of getting the Republican
nomination for Wickcrsham that he
absolutely will not take a nomination
from the committee which was select
ed at Seward to select a candidate for
Delegate. They claim, on the other
hand, that if Delegate Wickcrsham
should be nominated by the separate
Division conventions the nominating
committee, which consists of H. L.
Faulkner, W. A. Gilmore, Harvey
Sullivan and T. W. Lloyd, would he
forced to designate Wickcrsham as
the party nominee.—Juneau Empire.
