SEW\RD. ALASKA, Tl’ESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1915.
The Gateway is served by the United Press service and has been so serv
ed for some time but the fact was not published until the service was tried
out. The Gateway has had the Associated Press service but for certain
reasons the United Press is now being tried instead. It is evidently more
than satisfactory, although expensive.
The Associated Press and the United Pres* are the two great press as
sociations of the United States. The United Press is a combination of
smaller services which united a few years ago. It has been its ambition
to beat the Associated Press and like all well founded young enterprises it
is full of ambition and strength ami vigor. It has made some extraordinary
swops recently and is splendidly established. At times some ot those press
associations may, because of their important and great fields, overlook small
things of loca1 mportance but that is the fault of bigness. The Gateway is
not boosting it> press service too much. The value of it can be seen by the
newspaper itself At best, of course, a paper in the town of Seward cannot
hope to have so extensive a press service as a town like Seattle, one of whose
papers would pet ten thousands of words a day. It would be puerile for the
Gateway to try to make people with their eyes open imagine it thought it
self in anything like the metropolitan class, but it can boast honestly that it
has gone ao far as any paper m Alaska has ever gone to give its readers the
best. Now that the cables are up again the Gateway will receive its full
service and, let u> hope, it w ill receive it regularly. The news will continue
to be published as it is received. No attempt will be made to increase the
significance of the stuff coming, beyond the significance rightly attached to
it. This hao r.iways been the policy of the paper and that policy has been
successful as it always has been ami will be successful when an intelligent
clientele is being dealt with.
