OVERLOOKING A GOOD BET
Some day Seward business men will awaken to the
fact that a large purse should be hung up each year as i
the main award for the Marathon Mountain race held |
on the Fourth of July.
Nothing less than $1,000 should be the grand prize
and much more if possible. Throughout the year such a
fund should be worked up. Runners from all over the
country would each year plan to enter into competition ]
and the resulting publicity to Seward certainly would i
not harm.
This classic is some tiling no other town in the Ter
ritory could possibly duplicate because of the natural
conditions available here. Seward has the mountain and
the race can be viewed with ease from Seward’s streets;
from start to finish. Even with past publicity, one of
the first things a visitor in the city is informed of is the
4th of July moutain race.
It would be well to givethisgtoldowinwardwasa
It would be well for some live-wire civic organiza
tion to* promulgate plans the forthcoming year in pre
paration for the next celebration—in 1932. Make it one
of the feature athletic events in Alaska!
THANKS FOR THE BUGGY RIDE!
That The Gateway’s efforts to give the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce excursionists some information
about Seward and Alaska in general was appreciated by
a few citizens, is gratifying. The Seward Chamber of j
Commerce has omitted for years this highly important!
publicity matter and again The Gateway filled the gap. j
Hours of extra time and some expense were de- <
voted to the Thursday 10-page, two-color edition; ex- j
act-ly 1G copies at a dime each were sold ($1.60).
Great stuff if you don’t weaken!
There was a lot of personal satisfaction, anyway.
Incidentally, The Gateway was the only newspaper
in the Territory which apparently went to any extra
trouble. Well, we’ll probably do it again.
Little need be said about fathers and Father’s Day,
tomorrow, Sunday June 21; he doesn’t want much. But
there is one thing we do know he would appreciate,
should he be far away from his family and that is a tel
egram. “Dad” is human—believe it or not—and a
greeting by telegraph will make him mighty happy.
*$*»#**$****
With the federal dry forces active in the East, the
bootleggers must be cleaning up for prices on liquid
commodities, must have taken an overnight rise. Anoth
er thing; it is nice of the authorities to serve advance
notice when and where they intended to carry out their
next raids and number of “geoducks” to be employed.
**»*«*•****»
If not the best the local run of red salmon is as good
as the best in former years, say Oldtimers. Local fisher
men are making some money for a change after a couple
of tough years. Which is good.
The man who writes a letter, reflecting upon the
sanity or honesty of anyone or a numerous and patriotic
body of American people, should have the moral cour
age to either sign his screed or burn it. An anonymous
“roast” is a cowardly stab in the dark. The Gateway has
a large waste-paper basket for such communications, the
emanations of irresponsibles.
The majority of Seward citizens are certainly “sold”
on the “Talkies” and eagerly await each new program.
Seems like a new lease on life has been taken.
