From authentic sources, t lie Gateway
i> informed that throughout* the long
tour of AlasKa, made under the aus
pices of the Alaska Bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the
secretary and assistant secretary oi
theorgamzation, who accompanied the
tourist> in the capacity of official
guides and information bureaus, did
most effective work in boosting the
Cordova route as the logical entrepot
for the opening of Alaska. They in
cessantly dinned this assumption into
the ears of the Hon. Seth Mann, the
president's personal representative,
for a purpose well understood by those
familiar with the fact that the govern
ment contemplates the building of a
trunk line railway system in Alaska,
and a recommendation from the lion.
Seth Mann might go a long way to
ward determining the coast terminus.
The private opinion of these busy
gentlemen is of no concern to Sewarn,
but when they speak as representa
tives of a Seattle commercial organi
zation which is vociferous in proclaim
ing its neutrality in this important
matter, we insist, on behalf of Seward,
that we have a right to protest.
Seward asks from this Alaska Bu
reau of the Seattle C hamber of C om
metre <m!v a square deal. And if we
v*o.A t g . v it is probably because this
Alaska Bureau is but an adjunct of
the Guggenheim syndicate. This sus
picion now’ prevails. It can only he
removed by a repudiation of the acti
vities of its paid officers.
The second hearing in the 1 levelle
homestead case is concluded. The
third hearing will be held before the
land office at Juneau. The govern
ment has already expended a sum
vastly in excels of the value of the
disputed land, and the end is by no
means in sight. We often wonder if
the land department ever reaches a
conclusion in any Alaska land matter,

^Aeroplane flying
imposes unforeseen
and trying conditions on a
watch. The aeroplane
vibrates constantly. It tilts
at all angles. Often it lands
with a jolt that would ruin
the balance-wheel of many
a watch.
The Wright Brothers had most
* unsatisfactory experiences with all
3 the watches they tried in Europe
and America—until they adopted
the HOWARD.
The HOWARD Watch is
the finest practical timepiece in the
world. Its special hard-tempered steel
balance cannot jolt out of true with the
roughest service. The HOWARD ad
justment is permanent.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
—$40 to $150—and a printed price-ticket
attached.
( We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. ,
