cold which swelled one side of his
face to generous proportions. He has
been unable to preside over the deli
berations of the strategy board but
Vice-President Eat Hewitt says the
swelling rather aided the presidential
physiognomy. By looking at the face
from two different sides. Secretary
Bill Small suvs, it looked like two
different faces. Joe Hotfman, with
grim Teutonic humor, said Mr. Phelps
looked like (»reece because he was
two-faced. The only thing, though,
that hurt was when John Noon said
the pulFed up side of the countenance
looked like Delegate Wickersham.

Out Of Seward
Some days ago the Gateway was
chided by a government ollicial for
alleged knocking by Seward of An
chorage but no particular instance of
such knocking was cited. As a mat
ter of fact Seward never roasts An
chorage, but may it be permitted to
say that Anchorage hits Seward pict
j ty hard at times. It' Seward only
I wants to see it there is only the ne
cessity of reading the daily paper of
Anchorage of September 2.’>. it ad
mits that Seward has some decent
peopie, like Hell—that is like Hell has
—but it has others. Here is an edi
torial from that paper of tin* date
mentioned:
“A prominent attorney who is visit -
i ing Anchorage, ami who is interested
in Alaska, suggests to The limes
that Anchorage and Seward bury the
hatchet, let bygones be bygones, and
woi'K in harmony, to the end that both
towns shall grow and prosper. The
visitor suggests that there are many
things that could be gained, if the
| proper co-operation were manifested
by the tow ns. He thinks that perhaps
Seward should be the official head
quarters of a new judicial division
that will ultimately be carved out of
*
the f ourth division, while Anchorage
should be the headquarter.' of the Al
aska Hoad commission ami that a
I’nited States land olfice should be es
tablished here. So in other things,
evening matters up, so to speak.
“There are arguments in favor of
this plan and there are equally good
arguments against it. In the first
place. Anchorage has initiated a light
against no other town or community.
It has been going along attending to
its own business. But it has been the
object of vinification and vituperation
of the most vicious kind; it has been
knocked and berated as no other com
munity in Alaska has been attacked.
And much of this wilful misrepresen
tation can be laid at the door of small-,
minded, narrow individuals at Sew
There are just as good people at Sew- j
ard as anywhere on (Jod’s footstool.
And there are some of the pettiest
mortals there that ever the sun shone
on. Just who is in control over there
we are not advised. If the narrow
set runs things, they would sooner
wreck their own fortunes than see an
assumed opposition town prosper. If
the bro&d-guagcd element is in con
trol, there would be no dilliculty in
bringing about a thorough under
standing that would be helpful to both
places.
""In view of the fact that Seward
began the light, it is up to her to
make the overtures for peace. We do
not feel that Anchorage, that has been
so busily employed in attending to its
own matters, should now extend the
olive branch, because we did not start
the light. We have simply, in a mild
way, been acting in self-defense.”
After having read that editorial one
would think that Anchorage might
have been satisfied and might have,
shod a tear over Seward’s prostrate
bodv, might have forgotten and for
i
given. Hut, no; it knows we are
dead all right and it proceeds to com
pare Seward to a cemetery, a patch of
dead ones. Comparing Seward to a
graveyard was done three days later
although in the meantime Seward had
not opened its mouth about Anchor
age. What will the government offi
cials sav to this? Will they now
kindly go with their advice to the An
chorage scribes ?
The above editorial was written on
Sept. 25 and the following i.> a state
ment made by the same paper on tin*
28th, three days later:
“In a recent issue of a Seward pa
per appears the announcement that
the town will buy a new cemetery.
From an unbiased standpoint this
seems altogether unnecssary and a
ridiculous waste of money.”
What a gentle, fraternal affection
is pictured here!
