CONGRATULATIONS COLONEL!
Alaskans will wish to congratulate Colonel Frank i
J. Griffin, Signal Corps, who was promoted May 1, 1931, j
from Lieut. Colonel to Colonel.
Bom in Massachusetts Sept, 10, 1872, Colonel Grif
fin, in his early manhood displayed a marked leaning
toward a professional career and in 1891 entered Man
hattan College, N. Y., as a disciple of Blackstone; 1893
saw him in Columbia University and in the same year,
a student in the New York Law School.
Eminently successful as an attorney, Colonel Grif
fin turned his talents toward the United States Army
and on November 1, 1917, became a Major, Signal Sec
tion, Officers Reserve Corps. He became Lieut. Colonel,
Signal Corps, U. S. A.,-on May 28 1919; a Lieut Colonel,
in the Signal Corps, Regular Army, Sept 21, 1920, and,
as first stated, honored with the rank of Colonel a few
days ago.
Seward well recalls his visit here a few years ago.
Those whom he met here, as well as others who know
him indirectly, are glad to hear of his promotion and
hope in time he will be honored with the highest rank
the country, he has served so faithfully, can give him.
PEACE BE WITH THEM
Juneau moved to Sewrard yesterday! Well, it ap
peared so anyway wThen the SS Alaska docked and
about a dozen of the brave lads, Territorial Solons,
waltzed down the gang plank to the lilting tune of “Hail,
Hail, the Gang's All Here.” The legislators who have
completed their labors, are enroute to their various
homes after sixty days sincere attention to Alaskan
affairs. Whether they pleased all is a moot question but
in any case they gave the best they had and for that,
The Gateway salutes them, one and" all. May they now
rest in peace for a couple of years.
The Alaska Railroad management is offering An
chorage special fishing excursion rajtes. Well now,
that's nice. Once last summer, Seward was offered
special rates for a round-trip to Fairbanks, but when
the iocalites got ready to go, nothing doing. Seward is
going to Fairbanks regardless, but via Valdez and the
Richardson Highway. Naughty! Naughty!

“Fish Supply Subject of Investigation”—Headline.
Someone is probably compiling a new sucker list

If half the energy spent in chasing rainbows was
used in making Seward a better place for children to
live in the old town would be booming sure enough.
************
Both political parties seem rather reluctant to take
the responsibility for what the next Congress may do.
************
It is the duty of every citizen of Seward to keep
as many people working as possible. There is no substi
tute for a job.
************
Mr. Rascob wants the Democrats to say whether
they are wet or dry. The answer will probably be ‘We are/

Editors advise everybody but, in turn, they get
more than their share of advice.

Just about this time of the year thousands of sen
iors are planning to take care of the old world as soon
as they graduate this and next month.

BUBBLE FROM THE IT
(Special to The Gateway)
The SS Starr, of the San Juan!
Fishing and Packing Co., Captain j
C. E. Anderson, arrived in Seat
tle Monday evening, April 25. The
vessel berthed at the San Juan
docks where she unloaded cargo.
From this dock the Starr went to
the Todd drydock for fumigating
and other overhauling details.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The Starr, on its southbound

j Sawmill Bay, Juneau and Ketchi
ikan. A boiler was picked up at
Sawmill Bay; at Juneau halibut
was taken aboard for shipment to
Seattle, and at Ketchikan, Knig
salmon was loaded and also some
mail.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The steamer Starr, when it
leaves Seattle northbound, it is
reported, will proceed directly to
Uganik with a number of Filipino
cannery workers. From Uganik
the vessel goes to Seward.
MM
On one of its dives under the
mountainuos waves on the Gulf
of Alaska the SS Starr came up
with an eight foot log adorning
its deck.
Vat Script: “The crew of the
Starr lament the fact that they
did not have better luck in their
underwater dives on the Gulf of
Alaska so that they would be re
warded with a bag of sunken gold
or other valuables instead of just
a mere log."
MM
Dr. J. A. Baughman, a physician
and surgeon in Seward for many
years, is in Seattle and sends his
regards to his mr ny Seward and
Alaska friends. Mrs. Stevenson,
the doctor’s daugnter, is staying
with the doctor and Mr. Steven
son, formerly stationed in Seward,
is now in Cordova.
MM
Mrs. S. L. Colwell, formerly of
Seward, but now a resident of
Seattle, recently returned from a
trip to the Orient. Mrs. Colwell
was in the Orient during the time
of the recent earthquakes there.
MM
Mrs. Peter N. Anderson and
daughter Agnes, residents of Sew
ard, who have been in Seattle for
some time, have postponed their
departure from Seattle for Sew
ard from May to some time in
June, it is reported.
♦ ♦ ♦ »
Chris Larson, former railroad
man and a resident of Seward,
may leave on one of the next boats
for Seward.
MM
“The famous mail boat Starr.”
At each port on the trip to Seat
tle, many people thronged the
docks ot personally glimpse the
ship which weathers the tough un
chartered seas of Westward Alas
ka on its mail tun.
MM
Alaska sourdough arriving in
Seattle, says of its buildings: “Look
at the big shacks! They even
got double decked woodsheds.”
