SEWARD, ALASKA. THURSDAY, JANUARY IS. 1!)17
It has been suggested to the Gateway that a lew fire
men should alwavs be detailed to rush to tires without
waiting for tho hose cart, chemicals or anything else so
that they might give speedy assistance in removing valu
able stock. In a recent lire, it is said, the assistance ol a
verv few men in time would have meant the saving ot
%
hundreds of dollars worth of movable property. 1 be sug
gestion seems to be a good one.
We have now passed by the worst part of the A\ inter
and we have two Summers and only one \\ inter ahead tor
some time. It almost makes a person draw a breath ol
relief to look out through a window at l o’clock in the af
ternoon just now. But particularly at 8 o'clock in the
morning does one begin to realize once more that life is
worth living after all. Next June daylight will not seem
half so valuable; another proof that nothing plentiiul is
valued. Daylight is like money.
Athletics in the Winter time in an Alaska town, it is
safe to say, would do more good than Sunday schools. It
is bad enough to let grownups be threatened with morbid
ity in the gloom of the dark season but when the young
mind at the time of its greatest impressionableness is sub
jected to the danger of being morbid disaster looms ahead.
Too often people think education consists of the abil
ity to quote poetry or speak of authors or spout a foreign
language or something like that. The real education is
that which has made you think, that which has made your
intelligence clear, has made you rerined in the best sense.
The man who is really educated is the last to show it bv
artificial means, for his very education has taught him
that one of its fundamental properties is the inculcation
o. the knowledge that “showing oil*" should be avoided.
W INS A SIDE BET OE $250
driyim; a team of :> does
FAIRBANKS, Dec. 25.—By arriv
ing town last night just before
nine o’clock, Harry Ager won a bet
of $250 from Jack Betoif, better
known as “California Jack.” The
two men were at Nenana yesterday
morning, and in an argument over
the merits of their respective dog
teams, decided to race from there to
Fairbanks to decide the dispute, and j
• ich man wagered $250.
Ager made one of the fastest, if not
fastest, trips ever made between the
t o places, putting up a record of less
than eight hours. Both teams left
Nenana at 1 o’clock, and Ager pulled
lip in front of the California saloon a
few minutes before 0 o’clock the ex
act time of his arrival not being
known. BetotT had not shown up at
midnight, but was looked for at any
minute, nad will certainly l*e here be
fore morning. The winner drove a
team of live dogs, and the other team
was composed of seven animals.
The race ha.* created a considerable
amount of interest, and it is possible
that other races may be arranged in
the near future between other parties,
its such a contest, if a purse could I e
raised, would draw several entries.—
Citizen.
