SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. 1913.
To make Seward a port of entry the way is now made deur. Fairbanks
succeeded in securing this concession and there is no reason why Seward
should not. As a matter of course Seward will become a port of entry at
the opening of the Matanuska coal fields when foreign ships will come to
secure coal cargoes but a delay might occur in securing the concession and it
is better to have everything ready for the great day. It is pointed out that
the business men should get to work. The Commercial club, being the only
organized body for the transaction of such matters, ought to get to work at
once.
The man who does not take an interest in his work and try to do it bet
ter than his competitors will never be a success ami, what is more, he clogs
the wheels of progress. Competition ami the efforts to overcome competition
are responsible before all else for the advancement of industry' and the
methods of industry. The man who just works enough to draw’ his pay
would do his employer a benefit by quitting and would do himself no harm,
for he’ll be a failure anyhow.
The Gateway has twice as much telegraphic service as any newspaper
in Alaska outside of Juneau and has as much as any paper in Juneau. When
it finds a story worth clipping from an exchange it clips it and it lets the
readers know it is a clipping. It invents nothing ami inflates nothing. It
trit\> to be as conservative as possible b^t when the Gateway is sure that
any industry or discovery in the district is worthy of advertising it will go
the limit, but not before. Any other course, experience tells us. is an in
jury to the community ami soon robs a paper of the respect which is indis
pensable to success.
Seward has a wonderfully highly mineralized country surrounding it.
Those who have lived in many other parts of Alaska can appreciate this fact
to the full. What Seward needs is conservative and united action to let the
world know the truth.
The people of Alaska ought to be able to offer some aid to Secretary
f ant in securing a big appropriation for railroad w’ork at the coming session
of congress. How would it be to get together, find every man who knows a
senator or a congressman and get them to write a personal letter asking
their votes for the appropriation. Secretary Lane is going to ask for eight
or ten millions, according to the confirmed dispatch to the Gateway, and he
would probably appreciate the aid ami endorsement of the people of the ter
itory for which he has labored with such magnificent fortitude. Are we go
ing to iet Franklin k. Lane light for us single-handed? Is the territory of
Alaska, and particularly Seward, going to stand bye without raising its
voice to the highest possible pitch and iet congress know that Alaskans are
behind the secretary of the interior to a man?
