W. A. C. (Lucky) Baldwin went out
last night on the Evans. When the
Evans arrived at the dock from the
westward Mr. Baldwin was “on deck
as usual to advertise the meagre fi
nancial qualifications necessary to se
cure rest at his caravansery. As
usual the most delapidated specimen,
of humanity to disembark was hailed
as a live one from the Baldwin point;
of view and Mr. Baldwin interviewed
him earnestly. It was the last to be
seen of a man who has helped to make
the coming of boats a matter of even
greater interest.
William McPherson, the rancher be
yond Resurrection river, reached the
age of fid years yesterday and took
his first ride in an automobile. The
auto was the Yellow Peril of the Sew
ard Commercial Company.
The Ruby Record-Citizen of April
8 contains a letter from our own
Anton Eide in which he denies a story
published about himself, Lieutenant
Mehaffey and their team of dogs. A
correspondent of the Ruby paper said
one of the dogs had bitten a musher
and that the Road Commission men
had driven on without bothering to
stop. Mr. Eide points out that they
did stop and found that the musher
was not hurt. The dog only, indeed,
playfully snapped at him. The story
sounds so much like what a cub re
porter would try to invent about an
automobile accident outside that it
sounded funny. Anton g ts mighty
sarcastic, however, and lets ’em have
both barrel*. j
D. C. Davis, a civil engineer form
erly of Nome, who arrived here with
Mrs. Davis some time ago has taken a
position with the Engineering Com
1 mission ami is now engaged at Mata
nuska Junction. Mrs. Davis ha* re
mained in Seward.
Herbert Tozier has been suffering
for the past few days from a sore
throat and Is very much under the

The desire to boost Anchorage i*
shown in a little story appearing in
the Cook Inlet Pioneer of May 4. This
story appeared first in the Gateway
. some weeks ago. It is about a gentle
1 man who came to Seward ami is still
here. He never saw Anchorage but
the Pioneer changes the wording to
make it appear that he is in Anchor
age and not in Seward. By the way,
the Pioneer also boasts of the fact
that Jack Chovin has quit Seward for
Anchorage.

UNCLE JOE CANNON
NOT SO CANTANKEROUS
AS HE WAS ONCE
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WASHINGTON, May 6. —Tomor
row will be Uncle Joe Cannon’s
eightieth birthday. His political
friends and foes in the Hou$e of
Representatives today celebrated the
event with an hour of speech-making
filled with boquets and no brickbats.
“Confidentially, I wish they would -
I n’t have this celebration,’’ the ex
speaker admitted today. “It’s too
much like bringing flowers to a
corpse.”
“Uncle Joe” is not the extreme
partisan he was of old. That’s why
men of all parties in the House feel
so friendly toward him. Since his
“come-back” he has kept out of the
lime-light.
Uncle Joe still harbors a deepseated
hatred of political reformers. Every
time he gets a chance he hits one on
the head.
“I suppose,” said Uncle Joe, “a re
former 1ms his place. Sometimes I
| think they get pretty thick. They
say their province is to fight with
the Almighty; that the Almighty and
they are a majority.
“I am not here to abuse them.
Nearly all of them are honest, but
once in a while one of them is a
! hypocrite.”
In these days of aeroplanes and
submarines, Uncle Joe is proud he
gave substantial encouragement to
Prof. Langley, the American who was
jeered when he tried to fly in a
heavier-than-air machine. He helped
him get an appropriation.
“You know the newspapers pounded
on old Langley and called him a fool,”
. said Cannon. “ ‘Going to fly like a
bird’ screamed the headlines derisi
vely. They poked fun at me for be
friending him.
“I didn’t mind it. To tell the truth
the newspapers have kind of pleased
me. They have given me a notoriety
s for profanity and wickedness.”
Speaker Clark, Democratic leader
1 Kitchin, Sheerwood of Ohio and Gil
j lette of Massachusetts were the
speakers. Rodenberg of Illinois was
master of ceremonies.
