THOMAS RIGGS. JR., GOVERNOR
The nomination of Thomas Riggs, Jr., to be gover
nor of Alaska, brings a sigh of relief to all concerned.
It is practically a foregone conclusion that Mr. Riggs
will be confirmed by the United States Senate and im
mediately leave Washington, D. for Juneau, where
he will take his office. Mr. Riggs it must be remember
ed is an Alaskan. Since 1907 he has worked in Alaska,
on government surveys, and since 1914 has been one of
the members of the Alaskan Engineering Commission.
Mr. Riggs will make a most capable governor. Mrs.
Riggs, who will become the first lady of the Territory
is popular with all with whom she comes in contact. Sh<
is. as we say nowadays “well fixed in her own name”:
well educated and possessing a most pleasing person
ality.
The Gateway is well pleased with the selection of
Governor and has, since last October, predicted that
Mr. Riggs would be named the chief executive of this
Territory. *
Gov. Strong has made a good governor. His mis
takes have been made within the past year, although
there will be some, and perhaps many, who will deny
that he has made mistakes. That is personal opinion.
From a political standpoint, his mistakes have been glar
AN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY THE
VARIOUS BUSINESS HOUSES OF SEWARD
ALASKA IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT
Commencing March 1st. 1018, we the undersign
ed have agreed to extend credit only on terms of
“BILLS DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE TENTH
OF THE MONTH FOLLOWING PURCHASE.”
Failure to comply with these terms will compel us to
| discontinue further credit.
Owing to conditions now existing in the states,
we are obliged to make these terms, as firms who
have heretofore extended us liberal terms, are now
demand ing cash, or close terms.
Do not ask us for credit unless you can comply
with these terms.

ing during the past year. From his personal side he
probably has believed that he has acted wisely. That
again is a personal assumption. Now the question is,
will Gov. Strong be a candidate for the delegateship as
on Independent? The Gateway believes that he will—
hut that will probably follow developments directly af
i ter the primaries which will be held next month.

Don’t forget, unless you are registered, you cannot

1 you have not registered within the past six or sever
weeks, you are not eligible to vote. Register now anc
! the women should remember that they also have the
•
right to vote and should register.
By the way—have you eaten any ooligan yet?
Trot out your candidates for city offices. Don’1
delay, the more the merrier, but make wise selections.
Now Trotsky says that lie will skipsky as far as th(
Ural mountains before he will submit to defeat by a rev
alution. What’s the matter? Didn’t he get enough
from the Germans for selling out to go the other way?
Buy thrift stamps now. . Both banks in Sewarc
have them, the Post Office and various other places art

VAST SUPPLIES
OF MUNITIONS
AT VLADIVOSTOK
VANCOUVER, R. C., March 7. —
1 he city of Vladivostok and the dis
trict surrounding it to a distance of
. three nules are piled several feet high
with all kinds 'of munitions of war,
ailway equipment, automobiles, and,
in fact, eveiy conceivable article, the
greater part of which was shipped
during the RomanolF regime.
\ few months ago there were scv •
eral Canadian and U. S. railway en
gineers t ying to assemble the roR'n^
stock, but the majority of those n.en
have eitiier left or are now leaving.
So declared J. Howden, here.How
•en who has just returned Iron* Rus
. ia, is a ve er>n of tlie S»»uth African
war.
11is opinion of the Russian is not a
very high one. There is, according to
the statement he made, graft from the '
Baltic sea to the Pacific.
Trotsky and Lenine are not the men
I he stated, to undertake the gove^r
! merit of a country like Russia. Al- j
Jiough he may have certain abilities,
Trotsky’s training in the kitchen of
i:j big h >tei in New York was not the
! sort of training, said Howden, that
fits a man to handle a territory like
Russia.
COIN MORE SMALL COINS

AMSTERDAM, March 7. — The;
German government has ordered the
coinage of 200,000,000 new iron 5- !
pfennig pieces. Complaints of the j

linuous in all parts of Germany for a;
long time.
