SEWARD, ALASK \. SATURDAY, MAY 15. 1915.
The idea of having an international navy and army tu enforce peace is
rich. It sounds so beautiful until one begins to look into and ponder over it.
Then comes the thought that a war to stop a war is the very limit of
paradoxical absurdity. It is one of those' suggestions which, like socialism,
seem so simply grand and altruistic hut so awful difficult of accomplishment.
One year ago the so-called advocates of world peace see mini like men whose
opinions ought to he respected. How small they seem now. Indeed, if the
truth were known we should find that the most noisy proponents of an angelic
and universal peace are now raving partisans. Better than an international
navy and army, and as easy of attainment, would be the alteration of human
nature. This and this alone will make men real brothers. Human fraternity
will otherwise In* impossible.
In yesterday’s dispatches it will he noticed were stories telling of the loss
of fifty thousand Turks and one hundred thousand Russians. If this continues
the belligerents will find it harder to feed each other than themselves.
It is getting evident that the people of Juneau are beeming really mad
over the proposal to make Seward the capital. They even go the lengths of
saying insulting things to Seward people who happen to visit their city. This
hardly looks as though they are inclined to regard the proposal as such a joke
as they pretended to believe it. It is really no joke hut the people of the
present capital will gain nothing by making it a crime and visiting on its
advocates the punishment of criminals. They may succeed in securing the
capital buildings yet and if they do Seward will have nothing to say hut what
is friendly. Juneau might also fight its- corner without getting mean.

The new Tolovana piacer camp is
to have wireless connection within a
very short time as Falcon Joslin has
sent his plant to that place. The
plant has been in Alaska for a num
ber of years, having been first install
ed when Iditarod was struck. Failing
to pay there it was started for Chis
ana but before being started up the
Tanana river news was received of a
discouraging nature and the project
was dropped.
Judge Wood, a clerk for several
years in the Seattle postoffice, was a
passenger on the Northwestern for
Anchorage, the name by which the
postoffice at Ship creek w ill be known.
He goes to take cahrge of the office

gineering commission, was appointed

charge.
The Alaska Oil & Refining company
has been adjudicated a bankrupt in
the district court at Valdez. This is
the Katalla concern which has been
producing gasoline and distillate for
several years. It is a Washington
corporation, financed in Seattle and
Vancouver.
REVIEW OF NOME
**WFT,,--“I)RY” FIGHT.
NOME. May 6.—The belief that
nothing would be gained in a moral
way and the need of the revenues that
come from the licenses of the saloons !
were the controlling factors in the!
“wet” and “dry” election held here I
Wednesday.
It was urged by the buisness men j
that there would be. saloons near
Nome, with plenty of liquor in the
city for those who sought it, and un
der conditions that would deprive the
people of police protection even if the
city voted “wet,” and the city would!
be deprived of the revenues that come!
from that business.
The campaign for prohibition has
been worked hard in Nome for weeks.
Several mass meetings were held by
the “drys.” They were largely attend-;
ed and a good deal of enthusiasm was
worked up.
The miner’s union newspaper, noti
fied all the saloons whose advertising
it was carrying that they would not be
received after May 1st, and at that
time they were dropped. However, in
spite of the activity, they were unable
to convince the people that the elimin
ation of saloons in the city would ac
complish anything for the good of the
community.
The “wets” conducted a clean cam
paign. They held no mass meetings,
but worked quietly. The saloon men
closed their bars 48 hours before the
election of their own free will.
Nearly all of the taxpayers support
ed the “wet” side of the contest.
A great many people outside and
inside Alaska are now’ anxious to get
any news they can of the placo where
the government railroad will be. To
save writing letters you could send
the Gatew’ay, either your own read
copy or get another.
The finest kind of job work as well
as the plainest is done by the Gate
way.

FULTON TOOLS
When you see a FULTON BRAND on any tools shown in our catalog it means a standard of high quality.
FULTON TOOLS cost just as much to manufacture as well-known brands. One of the very good reasons
why we can o(Ter them to you at OUR LOW PRICES is because our method of selling from our large cat a og
(which is our only salesman) enables us to eliminate the extravagant and costly method largely used to place
a line of good tools on the market, which additional cost in the end must he borne by the purchaser.
If you have never tried one of our FULTOL TOOLS, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND you to took very care
fully through THIS line which will ho found in our latest catalog from I’age 711 to I’age 720. Select at.)
