Editor of the Seward Gateway:—
Seward, Alaska.
• Telegraphic press reports of recent
Grigsby meeting here at Cordova
which was signed “Coidova Times"
was not sent by the Tijnes nor author
ized hy the Times stated. The state
ments made ait* at varience with the
facts. The Times is supporting Dan
Sutherland and a careful poll of the
voters of Cordova and Copper River
Valley indicate that Sutherland,
will * cany this section almost
two to one against Grigsby. Re
ports from neighboring towns show
that the Sutherland majority in the
th»rd division will be about six hund
red. ksmrn j
Please wire conservative estimate
of the standing of both candidates for i
the office of Delegate in your section.
Signed.

The Editor of the Gateway is nue- j
trail in his polities this election simply
because he has not resided a sufficient
length of time in the Territory to en
able him to cast a vote, but he js not
neutral when one party deliberately
laisifies statements icgarding the otL
er. the democratic candidate lor Dele
gate and those aliiiiated witli him po
uucany have attempted to put a bro
ther new paper man in Dutch with the
paiiy ne is supporting by sending out,
a statement to which they signed the
name of the paper which is supportiug
the Republican candidate. The brother
newspaper man asks me to print in the
columns of the Gateway the above tel-,
tgium regarding the methods w’hich
the Democrats in his district are tak
ing 10 influence the voters. I have pub
lished it as l would publish a telegram
of like nature sent to me by another
biother newspaper man who was a
Knocrat The old saying that “All is
fair in love and war,” has evidently
!><y?n misconsti-ued by some over zeal
ous Democrats who have forgotten
• hat there is no love lost between the
two parties aiul that the war has been
over lor more than a year. Being foil
ed through circumstances to be neut
ral this election 1 can not declare my
real feelings, but I can say that 1 be
lieve in clean cut politics always and
that matter whether 1 am neutral
or not that 1 will always publish in the
paper that ^ am affiliated with the
truth regarding every man who is run
ning for a political offif-e, regaixllesa
of his standing.
Some .weeks ago when George Grigs
by visited Seward he came into the of
fice of the Gateway with Several tele
I
1 grams from well known men in the
! states. These telegrams showed that
Mr. Grigsby had opposed a certain bill
that a certain Kepublican candidate
had accused him of supporting. The
telegrams were printed in the columns
of the Gateway. The Gateway is sup
posed to be a newspaper. Whether it
lives up to its name or not depends
upon the man who is editing it. I am
paid to know what news is just tho
same as a clerk in a dry goods stow
js paid to know what merchandise is.
When I fail to know the difference be
tween a news item and an item in
which some person or persons are
seeking publicity gratis 1 will severe
my connections with the newspaper
! business, if you don’t like the news
I take it as you would a dose of bitter
medicine and you’ll probably acknow
ledge that the dose was beneficial aft
er it has had time to work through
your system.

red salmon in tall tins, ” says the Lon
don Grocer in its latest issue to reach
this country, “but best sockeye in one
half pound flat tins is not obtainable.
Further quantities of pink have been
released and should go rapidly into

1 greatly stimulate the demand.

The gardens of Seward are still
producing vegetables. Think of pick
ing in a garden in Alaska on the 28th
day of October head lettuce untouch
ed by frost. Seems like a fish story.
Eh’ Well it’s a fact which can be
proven with the lettuce. If there is
any doubting Thomas in the communi
ty drop in and we’ll prove* the state
ment in five minutes by taking you to
one of the gardens. And yet there are
oodles of people in the states who
think we are living on an iceberg.

a green necktie this morning. He
wasn’t celebrating the premature free
dom of the Irish, neither was the neck
tie a souvenier of last St. Patricks
day, it was simply a present from Jer
ry Murphy. When 1 asked him who
Jerry Murphy was he bawled me out
for beiug an ignoramus. Pve beer.
iwled out for being one many a tim«
and in many ways 1 deserved th*
bawling out, but this morning 1
think the bawling out was rather un
called for ’cause naturally 1 thoughi
that Jerry Muiphy was another of tht
Irishmen who have been starving
themselves to death recently in Ire
land.
When this fellow showed me a pic
tuie of Jerry Murphy 1 could see tha«
1 had made a mistake cause the pic
ture I saw didn’t show any signs o
starvation.

ground.

.y.ASKA NEWS
SEATTLE, Oct., 28— Initial act
ivities of a large operating company
in mining gold in the Interior of Alas
I
ka is reported by Dr. J. S. Martin of
the U. S. Geological Survey, who
arrived in Seattle from the territory j
enroute tc Washington, D. C., to mak<‘1
a report on the activities in the Kuf - j
kokwim District in South Central A1
ask a. Although Dr. Martin would not
give the result of his findings it is
knqwn that he is impressed with th.
tremendous possibilities as the result
of the preliminary work being done
by the Treadwell Company on claims
in this district.
While the Treadwell Company has
been going ahead quietly and rushing
supplies from Seattle in its endeavor
to hasten the day when it will know
the extent of the ore bodies and their
richness there has been no effort made
to let the world know of what is go
ing on in that section, and Dr. Martin
t the Alaska Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce that if the de
velopment work confirms the hopes
and beliefs of the Treadwell Company
it will mark the beginning -of a new
and wonderfully productive gold area,
fhe property is on the left bank of the
j Kuskokwim. ^

MILLS C LOSED
LONDON, Oct., 28— Russia’s
great pre-war cotton industry has suf
fered to such an extent during the re
volution that it is doubtful whether
many of the mills ever will be able to j
operate again, says Sir Charles Ma-,
<
cara an English authority in the j
•world’s cotton trade, in an in***nrey !
in the Yorkshire Pot. (
Based upon information obtained j
from an Englishman who recently re ]
«
turned from Russia, where for i»1
years he was manager of a large col
on factory near Mo cow, Sir Chides
'. timates that of the 9,000,000 spiud*
ios running in Russia before tin. re
volution not more than 200,000 or ’09,
0'i J a ie now operatin'/.
ri?e experiences of the English man
ag »r of the Moscow factory were toM
us sir. example of the methods employ -,
oil ny revolutionist-j in dealing with
j»u of Russia’s great industrial assets,
the textile factories in the Moscow dis
trict. This particular mill carried on all
che processes from cotton spinning to
the finished product, 17,000 workers
having b<*en employed under normal
operating conditions.
When the bolsheviki assumed power
the whole cotton industry was nation
alized. At every mill committees werp
formed and finally, in October, 1919,
a degree was isfeued that all who had
oeen connected with the former own
<»rs would have to leave. With the
experts gone, the mill stopped. After
a time attempts wgre made to re-start
it, but it was almost impossible to
obtain raw cotton. Small quantities
were obtained, which after being dilut
ed with 75 percent waste, was put
gh the processes
The machinery now is in a v^ry bad
state, insuch a state, in fact, that it'
would be almost impossible o operate
the factory properly, according to the
information given Sir Charles. When
ever machines are damaged, other ma
chines are denuded of parts to repair
them.
Sir Charles stated that there was
little possibility of English workmen
going to Russia for employment in
textile factories. Mills in Genmany and
Austria were turning out only from 25
to 30 percent of the normal production
he said, and English workers faced the
almost impossible task of making up
for the four and a half year's stop
page of textile manufacture owing to
t
the war.
