A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS
The mineral reconnaissance along the Alaska Rail- j
road belt by the Geological Survey this season, is as:
Gateway readers will recall, a project which this paper j
has been foremost in advocating for years past as the j
major need in developing tonnage for the Alaska Rail-;
road.
A quarter of a million dollars will be spent on the j
investigation and much of this sum will be left in Alaska I
as will be seen in reading today's aritcle covering the;
surveys’ activities. Beside the corps of technical men, j
many laborers, packers, cooks, etc., will be hired; sup-j
plies purchased and accomodations acquired.
A quarter of a million dollars spent in the railroad
belt in addition to regular and other new work, should
auger well toward buoying up folks who have been rath
er despondent over the outlook and should eject a new
spirit of optimism that perhaps, after all, things are
not so bad; that this survey alone certainly should re
flect a large increase in general busisess.
STATISTICAL STUDY FISHERIES
A recent investigation conducted by the Tariff Com
mission discloses that only two per cent of fishery pro
ducts are landed in the United States from coastal wat
ers by foreign vessels, but nine pei; cent is transported
in American vessels owned by alien residents of the
United States. This is the first detailed statistical study
of foreign interest in American fisheries. ;
It is found that Hawaii received 97 per cent of its j
fish from alien vessels, California 34 per cent, Georgia j
13 per cent, Oregon 9 per cent, Connecticut 6 per cent, j
New Jersey and Texas 3 per cent, Florida, Louisiana,
Maine and Massachusetts 2 per cent, all other states j
less than 1 per cent.
Japanese own 496 American vessels, in the fishing
trade, Italians 455, Portugese 254, Norwegians 159,
Finns 151, Greeks 60, Canadians 51, Swedes 49 and Ger
mans 30.
The Gateway wishes to inform its many subscrib
ers and friends that May L. Kellogg of Anchorage is
our Anchorage representative and that she will cover
the Cook Inlet region and up the railroad belt as thor
oughly as possible. The Gateway has more field corres
pondests than any paper in Alaska embracing all dis
tricts with the possible exception of the First Division.
Is there anything better than the musical silence
of an Alaskan spring mom?
************
Every so often The Gateway breaks out with a glar
ing error in most instances quite laughable; this is an
exception rather than a rule with most publications and
a point by way of illustration is seen in a recent copy
of the New York Times, probably America’s greatest
newspaper. In describing the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes, The Times called it the Valley of 10,000 Snakes!
**••****•
It is very important to think about the needs of the
home city and what it takes to make it a bigger, better
and busier city.
Experience doesn’t count for much when looking
for gold; it’s not like coal or manganese. Gold is where
you find it. There are no rules.
Archeologists are back in Alaska to dig up more
petrified heads of early day reformers. Skulls haven’t
changed much. - • s*

Did you ever stop to
think
■ (By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma)
The best sellers owe their prosperity to
continuous advertising.
No business concern can afford to pass up
the opportunity advertising offers t o make
faster sales and increase popularity.
Those who offer their wares or service
through the printed page are the ones the pub
lic knows best. People always buy things they
know about in preference to those they never
heard of.
THERE IS ALWAYS BUSINESS FOR
THOSE WHO AGGRESSIVELY GO AFTER
IT BY ADVERTISING.
THE FATE OF MANY A BUSINESS IS
SEALED BY LACK OF ADVERTISING,
THEIR EXISTENCE BEING UNKNOWN
TO THE BUYING PUBLIC.
CONTINUOUS ADVERTISERS ARE
THOSE WHO YEAR AFTER YEAR SELL
TO A STEADILY INCREASING NUMBER
OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.
