Its too bad they had to wait until the last moment to
arrive at the conclusion Alaska marble should be used
in the new Juneau federal building. The lateness of the
effort and improbability of it now being used on exter
ior work should, in the future, serve as a reminder to
consistently broadcast the message: “Buy Alaska pro
ducts first.*” The Territory must be developed from with
in, boys. Buy Alaska coal, Alaska pop, Alasua spuds, etc.,
then watch our smoke.
It is reported that the Bolshevik took Blagovyes
chensk, but the dispatches did not say if it was a dis
ease or a town.
A VISITOR FROM NIPPON
-o
The Port of Seward welcomes today the arrival of
Captain J. Satos, commander of the big Japanese
steamer Taiyu Maru, and his able staff of officers.
The Taiyu Maru is one of the largest vessels
ever to have tied up at the local wharf and that it is
a veteran of the seas, can be plainly seen. Our own
Capt. 0. A. Johansen, one of Alaska’s most noted
sea-faring men, piloted the big ship into Resurrection
Bay.
If Colonel Ohlson can drive the colonists in to raise
the barley and the Eskimo can drive the reindeer out
to meet ‘em, we’ll have a meat industry in this Territory
yet, by gum.
THIRD TIME WILL WIN
All Seward hopes, and feels confident, that Anchor
age’s next school bond election will go over with a bang
for over here we are highly elated with our new school
and should like to see others experience similar good
fortune. Good schools are one of the biggest assets any
town or city could possibly have. The children of today
are tomorrow’s executives. It isn’t a question of mag
nificent quarters but one of more room for, we under
stand, the Anchorage school enrollment is increasing
steadily. The Seward vote at the bond election was al
most unanimous and it is our belief Anchorage’s next
election, August 6, will be equally so.
The Seward street department has begun repairing
the streets and making a fine job of it. ' Especially is j
this so with the improvement of last week when they
straightened out that curve down by the old sawmill.

There are a lot of coast dwellers of Alaska who
have never been to the Interior. It would be a liberal
education for them to take that trip over the Richard
son Highway and the Alaska Railroad. They would
then begin to realize what a great country this really
is and what good roads will mean in its future devel
opment.
Now if some other folks will get the notion and
put some motor boats on Lake Kenai—at the end of
the Seward-Kenai Lake Highway—for summer recrea*
tion we can cook up some contests and see if Frank
Towle is really the speed king of that neck of the woods.
When one gets his leg pulled it is natural to make
a lame excuse.
Mr. Frothingham said he is sure Washington is
sympathetic toward Alaska. What Alaska wishes is ac
tion, not sympathy.
t • ,uT!he Gateway is reliably informed that the U. S.
lghthouse Tender Cedar sailed into a Westward port
the other day like the kindly old stork and left a new
bouy in the harbor.

NOT SO TOUGH AT THAT
It can’t be such a tough or
cruel country when one can go
barefooted, like in any alleged
civilized country. In any case ;
that's what Virginia Kammerer, j
a comely maid from Calfornia \
says. And she should know for
yesterday she walked barefooted i
six and one-half miles up Ptar- i
migan creek, near Lawing, and
one mile down the railroad on
the grit.

sentative of the big Japanese

THE RED BLOODED COWBOY
FRED THOMSON
and his wonderful horse Silver King supported by Edna Mur
phy, Harry Woods, William Cartright in the western play
THE SUNSET LEGION ’
s A thrilling frontier town story with new twists and plenty of
s hard-riding action. Thomson plays two parts, that of the black
E robed mysterious night rider, and the other a lazy, whittling
r; cowboy. He is in reality a Captain of Rangers, trying to solve
a series of robberies. An absorbing show with a great climax.
£ With it we will shovy you “GOOSE FLESH” a fine two-reel
5 comedy starring LLOYD HAMILTON. And a reel of Jokes.
