SEWARD. ALASKA. TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1915.
So many people have said that they have seen the midnight sun in Al
aska that someone must have seen it although the very great majority of
residents of the territory must admit never having laid eyes on it. There is
one man, at least, who stayed up all night at Fort Yukon, the point where
the Yukon river touches the Vrctic C ircle, to see the midnight sun and he
saw it and he didn't see it. That is; at midnight, according to his watch, the (
sun shone resplendently over the Hats of the great river and everything seem
ed to be fine until later when the sun went out of sight for hours. Whether it
was the sun that miscalculated ihe time, or the watch, cannot be told, but ex
periences like this have led many people to believe that there is no time when
the sun is visible all night in Alaska. Many people say they have seen it at
midnight from the hill behind Dawson on the 21st or 22nd of this month, but
could there not he some mistake? Of course, in the more northerly part of
Alaska the new day begins to break at midnight. Observation has led to the
belief that the darkest period is between 11:15 p. m. and midnight.
Yesterday was the longest day of the year but, unfortunately, it was also
the darkest in months. Some say this date is the longest and our chances of
seeing a midnight sun are mighty slim. It might be worth saying for the
benefit of the many new arrivals here that at this date along the Yukon river
there is no part of the twenty-four hours when reading a newspaper by day
light is not perfectly easy.
A long article was handed into the Gateway office yesterday which ap
parently was an attack on all the new forms of dancing. Ihe writer evi
dently has a very strong antipathy for anything newer than a minuet or a
Virginia reel. Like others he seems to see something immoral in everything
new. We all know that when the waltz was first introduced it was condemned
as devilish, and it was devilish, it must he admitted—devilish fine. The Hesi
tation, the One step, the Fox Trot and all other new stanzas in the poetry of
motion are now coming in for their share of contumely, but you will always
find that a person who kicks about new kicks had the education of his pedal
extremities neglected. Let them he wise in time. Convert sour grapes into
grapevine. It is never too late to dip. and he who does not hesitate is lost.
NO BRISTOL BAY
RADIO STATIONS NOW.
In a letter referring to the House
Joint Memorial No. 12 proposed by 0.
P. Hubbard. Secretary Josephus Dan
iels writes to the office of the Terri
torial Secretary that the installation
of the Bristol Bay stations requested
in the memorial would seriously delay
the completion and equipment of the
system of naval radio stations design
ed for the purpose of national defense.
It is believed that for the present no
diversion of funds can be considered.
The letter add: “The Department
would be glad, however, to supply the
needs of the community in the vicinity
of Bristol bay by erecting suitable
radio stations should the necessary
appropriations be forthcoming. —

FAIRBANKS IN DEBT.
FAIRBANKS.—The report of Chas.

SAYS ANCHORAGE BEATS
OLD STAMPEDE TOWNS.
Sam Blum, the merchant and banker
of Cordova, Valdez and Chitina, says
! that Anchorage as a tent city beats
Skagway and Dyea and all those old
towns. In his many years in Alaska
he has never seen so extensive a city
| of tents. He also thinks favorably of
the future of the place but does not
at present, at least, figure on open
ing business there. George Hazelet,
president of the Cordova chamber of
commerce, and Mr. Blum returned
home on the Mariposa this morning.
