SEWARD AIRPORT
Within a short time Seward will take its place among
airports of Western Alaska, with a hangar equipped with
two modern planes capable of giving a regular service
to any point desired.
lii Pilot Barnhill and his associate, L. McGee, the
airport boasts a veteran of pioneer air service in the Ter
ritory and a livewire manager who is familiar with Al
askan conditions through years of contact, and who can
be looked to to develop the service to its highest stand
ards.
No better point offers for air service in its relation
to accessibility to many important points, and much of
the business which has been going to other centers will
be shared in Seward.
Each year sees some vitally important accessory add
ed to Seward’s business and social life, and by degrees
the Gateway City is forging ahead on its own with its
foundation firmly fixed and incapable of being jarred by
untoward conditions.
THESE SCORCHING DIATRIBES
After all, how futile it is for The Gateway or other
Aiaskans to emit a howl of inarticulate rage in an effort
to make some of these political foxes jump out of their
holes.
Starting at Washington, cursing the alleged big of
ficials and Congress, then jumping the ocean or across
the continent to the Pacific Coast and giving lurid ac
counts of their general unworthiness and incompetence,
gets us no where excepting a few gazes of awed admira
tion.
Perhaps, we are thinking, if some of us were in those
positions, we might be a d-sight worse.
Maybe, according to the way we feel today, it would
be better if we all took a vacation and attended the Na
tional Undertakers’ Convention at Tombstone, Ariz, or
melt up some barbed wire and horseshoes, with Alaska
“mule,” then fall back on some of those lugubrious ballads
of childhood days, lifting our voices that range from bass
to tenor and points East.
A HARD JOB
A statesman suggests that much of the misery of the
cities would be alleviated by a movement of the population
toward the country. The force of his views is not im
paired by the thought that this has been urged before, or
by the statement that it is hard to make a farmer out of a
subway guard. The migrating generation might be in
convenienced, but the next would be better off, and the
welfare of the wThole land unquestionably would be ad
vanced.
Goldsmith’s lament for the Deserted Village was more
than a mournful poetic outburst. It was a profound and
philosophical state paper, the substance of which is stated
in two of its lines:
“But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
The panic of 1857 was broken by the discovery of
gold in Colorado. A mush started comparable only to
that of California. Now if some one will please start a
gold rush to Alaska, all of our troubles will be as pepper
on meat.

. j While pointing out that it wai
jnot a matter of what was desireci
i but one of embracing an oppor
' I tunity for relieving the city of ite
burden, Mayor Brownell paid a
glowing tribute to the wonderful
philanthropic work tire Home Mis
sionary Society was performing
throughout the world, especially in
■ providing hospitalization where
•; they could not be afforded by com
, j munities, and the work of religious
j fervor and love with which the
noble women, enlisted in this work,
performed their ministrations of
philanthropy.
Under the contract, if accepted
by the voters, the hospital will be
under the administration of a
board of five, two of which will be
selected by the City Council, two
by the Home Missionary Society
and the fifth to be selected by the
first four.
In approaching this point of the
I contract, the society stipulates that
; as there shall be a hospital sur
i geon . . . “A. D. Haverstock is
: designated by the parties hereto
i as such hospital surgeon” . . .
In the event of Dr. Haverstock’s
j resignation, death or incapacity, it
j will be the duty of the governing
; board to name his successor.
Thus, was disposed of what was
feared by many admirers of Dr.
Haverstock a possibility that the
matter might be enmeshed in muni
cipal politics and through the pro
. cess the hospital wrould lose his
valuable services.
Mayor Brownell stressed the val
[ ue of Dr. Haverstock in its effect
! of engendering a spirit of confi
dence through his splendid surgical
work and the general efficiency of
the institution even under the per
plexities and uncertainties beset
ting it.
When the Mayor called for ex
pressions from the audience, there
were no dissenting voices. Dr. Hav
erstock expressed his appreciation
of the high esteem expressed
through the Mayor, and Superin
tendent Gjeisbeck, head nurse, re
sponded in a similar vein with re
spect to the esteem the hospital
enjoyed. Mrs. Jennie Paulson
pointed to it as a godsend gauged
by her own experience.
The proposed contract will come
before the Council at its next
meeting, and if accepted, will be
published and voted upon by the
citizens.
For more enjoyable
lunches—makes them
taste better—makes
you feel better.
