SEWARD, ALASKA. MONDAY, MARCH H. >916. _
After a whole week without a dispatch from the outside world com
munication was again established but the news was really very little. The
battle of Verdun was still proceeding with apparently small advantage to
either side and the relative positions of the armies seemed to be little altered.
In that week Carmen Sylva, the only qaeon with a nom de plume ui the world
died. We learned the names of the three men appointed on the committee
to fix the wage scale at Anchorage. Some infiitica! facts were told about
Roosevelt, Gore’s resolution in the senate and a few other things which will
ilip away from memory very soon. I his is about an ordinary weeks news
after all. Those items are the general items supposed to interest the great
est number of people, and those general items are really history. The mil
lions of other things which occur daily in the thousands of places through
out the world would be only news at home but are usually more interesting
sometimes. How well we all know that to many people a little spicy item
about the next door neighbor’s aunt would be more newsy than tho story of
the fall of Verdun.
A man who should never be trusted is the one who is not a laborer but
who is always prating about being the laborer's friend, especially just be
fore election. Anyone who knows the inner life of newspapers knows that
some of them just use the sorrows of the poor and all that stuff as a pawn
in the game. Those newspapers usually depend for a living on the business
people. When they start out talking about any interests that are “threaten
ing the poor man” you may be sure in many instances it is because either
those interests do not advertise w ith them or the votes of workingmen are
being sought. Whatever the cause might be the purpose is usually 6clfish.
Watch out for some hidden meaning when you find any outsider boosting the
laboring cause before election—beware of the Greeks when they come bear
ing gifts.
TODAY’S ODDEST STORY
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
ST. PAUL, Feb. 23.—Although only
twelve miles apart, St. Paul and Min
neapolis have separate weather
bureaus. The original single station,
which Uncle Sam said could efficiently
handle weather conditions in both
cities, was in St. Paul. People in
Minneapolis constantly taunted the
St. Paul station with sending weath
er reports destructive to their
bazaars, fetes and civic turnouts.
Minneapolis people just wouldn’t ac
i cept weather sent from St. Paul, so
Uncle Sam gave in and established
another station in Minneapolis.

SMASHING* ALL WORLD
RECORDS ON THE KLONDIKE
Dawson Nows, Jan. 28.—The spect
acle of a ponderous gold dredge, a
perfect dreadnaught of the Arctic,
churning incessantly in icy waters
and turning up daily and washing
perfectly thousands of cubic yards of
auriferous gravels, may be seen in
the Klondike valley, seven miles from
Dawson, by those who care to take a
little journey that far today. The big
machine is the Canadian Klondyke
company’s mammoth dredge No. 2,
the largest in the world. The News
writeup man took a jaunt to the
dredge yesterday and went over it in
company with General Manager
Joseph W. Boyle. The dredge has
been working without interruption
since repairs on her were completed
and she started up last fall. During
the last four days the big ship has
been submitted to the severest test
respecting temperature ever record
ed in the history of the world. Dur
ing these four days the thermometer
at the dredge has registered 58 to 6G
below zero, Fahrenheit. During that
period no more time has been lost
than on ordinary days. The remark
able performance of No. 2 in this in
stance no doubt will be a matter of
greatest interest to dredge men the
world over, and should be a great cn
couragemnt to others who look on the
North as a possiblo field of exploita
tion.
