ANCHORAGE CLOSED—SEWARD OPEN
,
There is an old saving that a miss might just as well;
be the whole mile as anything.
Isn’t the truth? i
On another page of The Gateway today is an article
establishing the fact, as it has been repeatedly established
year in and year out, that Seward is open to the com
merce of the world, every day in the year, no matter
whether the year is a short or long one.
To get down to brass tacks, Seward is an open port
twelve months of the year and our sister city, Anchorage,
is to be closed on the first of November until sometime
next year—it always depends upon the grip o! winter.
And to come back to the opening statement, a miss
is as much as a mile. Here is Seward and there is Anchor
age, only a matter of a trifle over an hundred miles dif
ference, one from the other. Here the harbor is open all
the time and there—part of the time. But a miss is asj
good as a mile, and Seward should, from a geographical
standpoint, have a commercial pride in its supremacy. Thej
pride should be. and no doubt is. a natural born one. But
no slaps should be administered upon the cheek of our
sister eitv. Anchorage is not to blame and there is not a;
V
Seward citizen who should go down an alley and have a
good laugh at the particular discomfiture of the city “on
the side.” Business has been good in Anchorage this year,'
%
exceedingly so. Business will be good there this winter
because there is a good population. Merchants have laid
in or will secure their winter goods, and if they should
run short, Seward stands ready to replenish. Seward will
welcome every traveller here this winter. Seward is hos-1
pitable. No matter whether the traveller comes for a
night or a week, Seward is always homelike, because in,
the business world of a busy place there is always time to;
take care of the wayfarer. Seward is open, however, for
ingress and egress, don't forget that, and a city is a city
for a’that, just the same whether it is one day or 365 days.
And if Anchorage citizens come here, we will treat them
right, just the same as they have treated Seward citizens.
“BILL” HOLZHEIMER, JEDGE
l -
Just to think, to have to call “Bill" Holzheimer, “his
honor, the judge." For “Bill" has been nominated United
States Federal Judge at Nome, and the editor has known
“Bill” for a number of years, and it will seem strange to
say “His Honor," but it has come and here goes.

William A. Holzheimer is every inch a man, every,
inch an attorney. He has never been known to <lo a
‘mean trick” in his life. He is broad-minded, capable,
energetic and possessed of the highest integrity. He is
to be congratulated upon receiving this high honor and the
Department of Justice at Washington, I). C., lias made no
mistake in selecting the man.
Judge Holzheimer is honest. He is honest through
and through. He possesses qualifications that many know
little of. Not to know him is a misfortune. The editor of
The Gateway, no matter what his politics, no matter what
the politics of “Bill” Holzheimer are, predicts that he will
be an honorable judge, a credit to all Alaskans.
There really ought to be some system in Russia. Re
bellions ought to begin on Mondays and Wednesdays and
then all surrender on Saturdays.
Instead of Korniloff lieing the man on horseback, it
seems to be a case of horse on Korniloff.
One thing can be said for Seward: The recent storm
never washed out her citizens’ indomnitable spirit.—(Val
dez Prospector.)
Colonel House has forgotten more about camouflage
than all the Allied armies ever knew.—(N. Y. Sun.) ;
