A movement having for its pur
pose the colonizing of 50o families of
faimers along the government rail
road between Seward and Fairbanks
was launched by J. C. McBride, repub
lican national committeeman this week
in Juneau, according to C. J. Lincke,
who passed through Seward en route
to Anchorage, and who was news edi
tor of the Daily Capital of Juneau
during the republican campaign. *
The plan as outlined by Mr. Mc
Bride calls for the bringing in of the
settlers at government expense, sup
plying them with implements and live
stock and a credit of $10,000 with 20
years in which to liquidate.
“You may tell the people of the
Southwest,** said Mr. McBride the
day I left Juneau, said Mr. Lincke,
that we are behind . this movement
with all our energy. The railroad
and by raising* the foodstuffs needed
in Alaska enable other big enterprises
to be established. Before the road is
completed there will have been ex
pended sixty odd millions of dollars
and we want the enterprise as well as
tho coal mines being developed by the
government to be vindicated and made
a real benefit to the country.
“A memorial, -fathered by Repub
lican Herman Tripp, will be preented
to the legislature which will in turn
memorialize congress. To give the en
tire matter impetusist . is Mr. Mc
| Bride’s request that every community
in Southwestern Alaska and the in
terior hold mass meetings and pass
rsolutions and send them to him at
Juneau, so as to have a solid phalanx
of sentiment IrMnd Delegate Dan
Sutherland when he brings the matter
before the representatives and senat
ors at Washington.
“Inquiries along the journey from
Juneau to Seward indicate a strong
sentiment for George Hazelet for gov
ernor/' continued Mr. lincke, and the
action of the Juneau Republican club
in naming a slate containing only the
names of Juneau reidents for public
office has served to swerve senti
ment in Southeastern Alaska to Mr.
Hadelet It would be hard to say just
how the capital city stands on the
question as there are two factions, one
led by Judge Wlckersham, while the
other is non-committal, but there
seems to be much sentiment behind
the Haselet candidacy,
needs tonnage and the quickest way to
secure it is to colonise the fam lam)
"With the securing of a subscrip
tion ot $65,000 in Juneau for stock in
a $400,000 cold storage plant the city
has taken on a new lease of life and
business is good. The plant, financed
by Wall street capital, wilTbe erected
as soon in the spring as conditions will
warrant, the promoters, headed by
Emery Valentine, having been noti
fied that the deal has gone through.”
Mr. Lincke expects to spend the
Winter in Anchorage, where he will do
special feature work for magasines
and big newspapers in the steles, set
ting foth the resources and advant
s \
ages of Southeastern Alaska.
"From reports from obtside and the
general atmosphere of expectancy, I
I look fox; one of the greatest booms this
| year the territory has seen since tee

TOO MUCH “THANK YOU"
We honestly believe that in the
natter of doing things for a mere
thank you” the weekly newspapers 1
jf this country hold the record.
We say it with no desire to dis
criminate, for we believe a Seward
people are no different from those to
je found elsewhere, but we feel that
•vith no reflection they will agree it is
true, that for the number of favors
rendered no other institution is as
poorly paid as the newspaper. The
church has a bazar, the school has a
concert, a club brings a paid speaker
or musician to town and does so to
make money, and yet in almost every
instance the newspaper is called on
to announce the date, boost the at
traction, et out the crowd— and
then be satisfied with a free ticket
And often, the promoters overlook
even the free ticket
It is hard for some people to un
derstand that about all a newspaper
has to sell is its space, or at least
that'part of its space not devoted to
actual news happenings. If it gives
away its space where is it to get
money for more white paper, more
ink, more type— for type wears—
and for rent and heat and light and
the scores of other thing that it is
forced to pay out good money for?
They wouldn’t go to the merchant and
say “We’re going to hold a bazar to
make some money; give us some of
your goods to sell that night” Yet
they say to the editor “We’re going
to hold a bazar give us your ad
vertising space so wq can get a
crowd that will spend its money”.
And yet there’s no difference;
The Gateway is here to boost
every worthy institution— and expects
to keep on doing it But we would
got down on our knees and thank the
good Lord right now if we could .
make everyone see that it takes
money to run a newspaper just the
same as it does anything else.
