GOODBYE “WILDCAT”
The good ship “Wildcat” left Seward for Latouche
yesterday afternoon where, after completing a few days
work, they will proceed to Ketchikan and Seatttle.
We have not only appreciated the acquaintance of the
men on this fine little ship but also the work they have
done in this vicinity this summer. We are not only sor
ry to see them leave but will be looking for them to return
next spring. This boat has been in port for the last week
working in Resurrection Bay, as well as making numer
ous trips here throughout the summer. The people of
Seward have become, perhaps, even better acquainted
with the members of her crew than those of the Surveyor,
due to its lengthier visits in port.
We hereby extend our sympathies to the girls but as
sure them that the Surveyor will pay us one more visit
before its journey to the South for the winter.
DESTINED TO BECOME GREAT ORGANIZATION
We doff the lid to the Alaska Glacier Tours Associa
tion!
First; because of their great success in conducting
many big game hunts.
Second; on the class of their clients all of whom have
been prominent Americans.
Third; in the personnel of their guides, the greatest
aggregation of licensed guides and professional hunters
ever brought together.
And last, because they are sending all of their clients
hack to their homes with the kind of trophies they came
after.
Witness, these four prominent Easterners, Messrs.
Fawcett, Harper, Cottam and Marshall, who leave Sew
ard tonight for home after spending several weeks with
the company's guides.
The happiest bunch you ever saw!
THANKS APPRECIATED
A number of Seward citizens took occasion yesterday
to personally thank The Gateway staff for the excellent
and complete report, published in Thursday evening's is
sue—which was late in getting off the press—on the Tun
ney-Dempsey fight. The Gateway staff acknowledges
this appreciation more than words can express. A few
hours overtime means nothing to thd staff all of whom
take immense pride in their work.
SPLENDID PUBLICITY
One of the finest things which has happened to this
stretch of the Territory in many a day is the successful
operation of the Alaska Glacier Tours Association. The
many hunting parties they have had under their wing this
year will do some of the strongest advertising for Alaska
which could be conceived for, they attained their hearts’
desire; they had wonderful big game hunts and will tell
their many friends so.
A man without mirth is like a wagon without springs,
in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every peb
ble over which it runs.—Henry Ward Beecher.
As far as we are concerned we have no fight with the
herring industry. They can go ahead and pack all they de
sire; and again, speaking for ourself, they can leave it
packed in barrels until doomsday.
Why is it that just when everybody in the gathering
is enjoying the occasion someone has to make a speech.
“ Darwin was right,” says another great scientist,
who probably was looking at (never mind who) when
he came to his wonderful decision.
HINES GOING OUT
I FOR SEVERAL MONTHS,
1 ■
To be gone until next March, Mr.
and Mrs. William B. Lawing, proprie
tors of the popular jurist lodge at
Lawing, depart tonight on the S. S.
Aleutian for the Stages. Not only is
the journey one of a general vaca
tion, but it is also one of business,
in line with the rapid increase in
tourist trade to their- resort on beaut
iful Lake Kenai.
They are taking “Old Betsy” their
auto along with them and unless
they make a fair dicker for her they
propose to tour the States with it.
I From Seattle they plan to head for
|the South, to California, then East
I ward where the greater portion of
I the winter will be spent.
| ’During the absence of Mr. and Mrs.
Lawing their lodge will be conducted
by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Decker, well
, known ranchers at Mile 18. The Dec
Ikers are good, substantiol people, for
imerly of Kansas, and in them the
lLawings have the utmost confidence.
',11 SHEARER'S NEW
PICTURE ONE OF THE BEST
__ I
One of the most delightful, well- j
balanced, easy-moving comedies the j
screen has offered for a long time is !
“The Waning Sex,” the Metro-Gold- !
wyn-Mayer picture starring Norma ]
Shearer, which opens at the Liberty j
theater tonight, with Conrad Nagel j
as leading man.
Two girls and a man are the local j
points of the plot. One of the girls j
wants him but doesn’t love him, the j
other, the heroine, loves him but j
doesn’t want him because she’s not j
quite sure of her own mind.
The menace in this case is the girl j
who wants him but does’nt love him. j
She plots against him. He is invited |
to her home for dinner and while \
there an unfortunate mishap deprives j
him of his trousers, a compromising :
situation and just what the girl in- j
tended-' it to be.
All of the fair plotter’s wiles are \
punctured, however, by the clever- i
ness of her rival, and her frustra- |
tion is just as complete and as satis- 1
fying as if- she were the conven- 1
tional male villain of the story.
Two romances are narrated by the
picture, the second one being the
background for some highly enjoy
able comedy as the puppy-love affar
of the younger brother and sister of
the adult romancers is adjusted.
