SEWARD, ALASKA* TUESDAY* NOVEMBER 23* 1315*
The Anchorage Pioneer in one of its issues just to hunt! takes Seward
to task for publishing false reports, or what it calls false reports, about
conditions, in Cook Inlet, particularly ice conditions, but the Gateway does
not remember saying that ice conditions were responsible for the loss of the
Cordova’s anchor. It would be really childish tor Seward to exaggerate ice
conditions up there and it would be equally childish for Seward and Anchor
age to try to minimize the conditions. The government and the outside
people will not be guided permanently by anything either town says and it
really only exposes a desire to be a knocker on the one hand or a reckless
booster on the other hand to say there is more ice than there is or that
“there aint no sich ice,* like the man who saw the camel.
Commissioner Mcar> has published a statement in the Anchorage paper
showing that the ice conditions at the time the Cordova lost her anchor were
not so bail as had been stated -in fact that there were no ice conditions—
and no one :an blame the commission for saying the best possible about
that city and it:* location, particularly when they are right as they undoubt
edly were about the Cordova. The members of the commission have, indeed,
very naturally shown an easily understood resentment when Anchorage has
failed to receive anything but the most favorable notice in the papers of
other places but it would be absurd for Anchorage or the commission to ex
pect other towns to refrain from telling what is the truth, it they stick to
the truth. Goodness knows Seward has had her own share of knocking and.
let it be said in the most friendly manner possible. Anchorage herself has
not displayed any very' angelic disposition towards humility or self-abnega
tion in attempting to show her infinite superiority to Seward as a terminal
for the government railroad. Seward has a perfect right to boost its own
wares legitimately and it i.-* very often hard to do so without contrasting
those wares w ith the opposition stock. It is difficult to sa\ wh\ any feeling ^
against Seward has been entertained and manifested by anyone connected
with the government railroad unless the blame can be laid on one busybody
who, the Gateway has very good reason to believe, has made himself obnoxi
ous in Washington and who has created a desire on the part of certain peo
ple connected with the construction of the railroad to prevent him as long
as possible from reaping the fruits of his lot-cornering.
Seward must continue, in spite of every opposition, to advertise the fact
that par excellence it is the best .the only real, terminal for the government
railroad and it would be weak and foolish if it went out of its way to hide
the faults of other places that certainly are not slow to expose its own
shortcomings when they think they have discovered some.

The Joys and Clothes
| of Yuletide 4
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
^ without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.

PIONEER DIES
The Skagway Alaskan announces
the death of Patrick McNicholl,
pioneer, in that town. McNicholl was
one of the oldtimers and in 1899 took
out “good money” in the Atlin coun
try on Spruce creek. A little incident,
in his career in that camp illustrates'
conditions: He once took a shot at i
another party with whose ideas on ^
the possession of certain ground he,
could not agree. The bullet went
whistling by the other chap’s head!
and McNicholl was brought to court.'
He received a scolding and nothing j
else! “Paddy” wsa known by several ,
Seward people.

Exchanges from other places, par
