DON’T BLAME THE RAILROAD
A subscriber recently bemoaned the fact that
he could not Ret his rhubarb into the Seward market
because the freight trains disregarded his “high-ball —
stop-signals. This particular Oldtimer, a fine old gentle
man, lives on Lake Kenai. So he dropped into the Gate
way with his sorrows and said he was compelled to
let his harvest rot because flagging the train failed to
halt it, We would suggest that in the future no one
should quit so easily. In this particular case could he
not have taken his produce to the head of the lake and
have a truck haul it in? Certainly!
It is presumed, says a Southeastern Alaska paper,
that the site of a new industrial school will be located
in the Panhandle area. They may know what they are
talking about but at that perhaps they are taking too
much for granted.
Stingy people spoil their vacation by worry over
the cost.^
GOOD PROSPECTING GROUND
J
1 Attorney Thomas Marquam, one-time aspirant for
the Alaska delegateship job, and now, Ambassador at
Washington without a portfolio—as the saying goes—
has proved the Capitol to be a great prospecting ground.
Fairbanks should loudly sing his praise for the many
things he has accomplished for his home town but,
perhaps we are blind and deaf for “we haven’t
seen or heard anything yet.” A newr federal building a
certainty; the Zeppelin coming; a magnificent airplane
landing field, etc. Like little Eva they just came, we
might say, if we didn’t know better!
So “traders are examining aviation stocks more
cautiously. Well, wTell. W hat goes up must come down.
In Westward Alaska waters and in the Cook Inlet
area they are saying, “Its great for us but its just too
bad for the poor fish.”
Prohibition Aministrator Pvoy Lyle says the liquor
situation in Alaska is not so bad. That’s right, if you
lay the emphasis on “situation.”
be an awful pessimist who cannot see or
sense “in the atmosphere” that the future develpoment
and growth of Seward is just around the corner.

TAKES STEP TO ACCENTUATE
KELLOGG PACT AND STIR
SENTIMENT ABROAD
WASHINGTON. July 31, (JP)— I
Upon the eve of proclaiming in :
force the Kellogg Anti-war treaty !
and with the world sentiment in- |
creasing for limitation of naval |
armaments, President Hoover |
moved to check the country’s in- j
creasing military costs through ;
the revision of the army budget
toward lower levels
A commission of the general staff i
will be named to work out a plan ;
with^the immediate view of ef
fecting tax reduction. The presi- I
dent in announcing the new pro- I
cedure, de c 1 a r e d that military
expenses of the United States
now constitute the largest mili- i
tary budget of any nation in the
world and this at a time when
there is less real danger of a
conflict than at any time in the
the past 50 years.
In fact, the president pointed J
out that the estimated purely I
military expenditures will con- !
stitute one half of the increas- '
ed government outlay estimated ;
by 1933. j
It is now estimated, he said,
that the military outlay for 1933
will be $803,000,000 which is $120,
000,000 more than the similar ex
penditures for military activities
of the army and navy of $250,000,- j j
000 annually. The President said |
that he was hopeful that further | (
expenditures might be saved thru j
a naval disarmament agreement, i
His decision is interpreted as |
a step taken to stimulate the <
sentiment abroad for limitation,
of naval armaments as well as
a move at this time to accentuate . (
the importance of the Kellogg
Pact- ' I
NOT FEELING WELL
NEW YORK. July 31, (/P)—Form
er president of Mexico Plutarco
Calles, arrived in New York and
went immediately aboard a ship
upon which he will sail for France.
He is not feeling well, it is said.
The S. S. Oduna will probably
complete discharging dredge mat
erial before tomorrow morning,
judging from the excellent pro
gress being made.
He—“You certainly have a trim "
little waist”. 1
She—“You’re right. Jhere’s no
getting around that.”
