VOTE FOR SCHELLBERG!
Expressing his personal thanks and appreciation for
the kind words extended him in a recent article appearing
in The Gateway, Norman A. Schellberg, Seattle mayor
alty candidate, writes:
“You may tell the people of Alaska that when I be- j
come Mayor 'of the City of Seattle I will do everything j
within my power to further friendly relations between j
Seattle and the Territory.
“I am vitally interested in the development of all sec
tions of that vast empire known throughout the world as
Alaska and am at Alaska’s and Alaskans’ service at all
times.’’
To subscribers of The Gateway and to all friends of
Alaska residing in Seattle, their attention is again called
to the sincere desire of Mr. Schellberg to assist in Alaska’s
development and that they, Alaska’s friends or Alaskans
residing in Seattle and who are privileged to vote at the
Seattle primary, cast their ballots for Norman A. Schell
berg for Mayor.
Alaska friends and former residents of the North
land now calling Seattle their home, number several hun
dreds, perhaps thousands. They may be the deciding fac
tor in a close race. In any case, here is a man 100 per cent
for Alaska. Show him the real Alaska spirit when you
march to the Seattle primary polls and vote for him 100
per cent.
Alaska needs friends such as Schellberg!
SECOND TO NONE
“Work, not war!” yodelled Congressman La Guardia
recently. Instead of spending millions on our Navy, La
Guardia wrould spend millions on a merchant marine car
rying our products to every port of this war-boiling globe.
All very well, but wouldn’t such an enormous foreign
trade need some Naval protection?
In any case, let’s have ’em both, then perhaps all of
us will be satisfied. The biggest merchant marine in
the world and a Navy at least equal to that of Great Brit
ain. tv:
Why should the United States be second to any na
tion either at sea or on land?
THIS REGULATION BUNK
In the early days along the Mississippi and the rivers
of the North, the French voyageur plied his paddle, gath
ering furs for the storehouse in Montreal, humming while
he dreamed of the old Norman farm:
“Fringue, fringue sur la riviere,
“Fringue, fringue sur l’aviron.”
In Alaska, the Russians and Indians raised plenty of
“whoopee” as they harvested the fur for Moscow. Furs
in Alaska have been harvested in abundance ever since and
today there are just as large crops. Despite the century
old cry of extermination, it is strange to relate, not only in
Alaska but throughout the States, the fur harvest is as
great as in the days of long ago.
Government regulation does it, my boy.
“Oh, yeah?”
In hazarding an opinion as to the influences tending
to break down law and order, three may be operative—a
false idea of education, the political Meal of citizen as
rul »r, and the muddling of morals by naving given busi
ness success the rank of a moral virtue.
If some people did not swear and curse a newspaper,
generally their home-town paper, very few subscribers
would swear by it.

INTERFERENCE DETECTOR
OF THE SIGNAL CORPS
In a letter addressed to the Exe
j cutive Committee of the Seward
j Radio Club. Fred P. Andrews, cap
! tain of the Signal Corps, answers
' the recent letter of the Seward
Radio Club to Colonel Dawson
Olmstead, requesting the loan of
the Signal Corps’ trouble-finder.
The loan was requested so that the
Radio Club could have a means of
clearing up interference with
broadcast reception in Seward.
Andrews informs the Seward Ra
dio Club that the trouble-finder has
been ordered shipped from Juneau
to the operator in charge at the
Seward Signal Corps office and that
through cooperation of the local
Radio Club and the officer in
charge, that the machine may be
used to locate the source of inter
ference.
Andrews further informed the
Radio Club that it was not thought
practical to turn the trouble-finder
over to the club but that the same
results could be obtained through
cooperation of the Seward Radio
Club with the local Signal Corps.
Warren Neil, tie inspector for the
Alaska Railroad, shouldered his j
pack today, and headed for Law- i
ing. He left on the morning’s;
train. Warren says that he will
miss the Seward Golf Club ban
quet Friday as he will be away from
the city.
NEW COMMISSIONER
Frank Brown, well known West- j
ward mining man associated with
A. H. Bradford in the famous Apollo
mine near Unga, and who has been
acting as U. S. Commissioner at
Unga for the past few months, will
probably assume that office fully,
due to the recent resignation of G.
Sjoberg, The Gateway is advised.

PROBE WALKER AFFAIRS
NEW YORK, Dec. 1. (A»)—J. P.
Morgan and Company has been
subpoenaed by the Hofstadter Leg
islative Committee to produce rec
ords which it is believed may throw
some light upon the financial af
fairs of Mayor James Walker and
R. Sherwood, his personal account
ant, who has avoided testifying be
fore the committee.
Morgan and Company is asked to
supply the committee with records
of companies for which it is trans
fer agent and in which it is thought
Mayor Walker and Mr. Sherwood
may hold stock.
