WHY SO MI CH TOWING
Ever since the Northland went thru here for Seat
tle, dragging the Silver Wave bobbing at the end of a
Jong line from the Arctic to Puget Sound, we have been
thinking about those marine ways that Seward hasn’t
ant. .
Why isn’t the Port of Seward equipped with
ways for the repair of boats? Whether we have a
breakwater or not, we ought to have w'ays to beach
boats so they can look them over and repair them. In
all this Westward country for a thousand miles there
is no place to haul up a boat Every time a boat leaves
Southeast Alaska for the fishing banks near the Port
of Seward the crew kiss their hands and say “Hope we
see you again and soon.” If anything happens to them,
its just too bad, unless they can find a long shelving
beach and look the vessel over at low tide.
If the men of the fishing fleet knew that there
were proper facilities here there would be no end to
the business that would come to this harbor. It they
could come in here instead of traveling 500 miles far
ther, they would gladly do it, Its time somebody looks
into this matter and gets busy.
The Minnesota Game Commission estimates that
nearly 30,000 deer were killed by hunters in ten days
last month. And there are those who fear Alaska’s fa
mous big brown bears may be exterminated.
GIVE BUSINESS A REST
In spite of the difficulties which beset all our major
industries at the present time, we find in Congress and
in our legislatures political demagogues who would
further shackle business and industry by the passage
of more drastic laws.
The fear of further unfavorable legislation will
undoubtedly have a tendency to delay and in some
eases entirely prevent developments which would be un
dertaken if these interests could foel safer from legis
lative meddling.
Two principle devices are employed by those whose
aim in life is to harass business. One is the imposition
of ever increasing taxation; the other is the imposition
of ever increasing restriction under the guise of regu
lation. Taxation and regulation are unpleasant accom
paniments of government, it is true, but under present
conditions it would be well to avoid making these bur
dens heavier than they are already. The agitators who
clamor for more taxation and more regulation might
■well take a holiday until business and industry get on
their feet again.
Probably wdiat the country really needs is a com
mission on commissions.

Legion is just about 100 per cent

| of the paid up endowment of the i
J government for service men or j
j the adjusted compensation which
j has been suggested to Congress
1 by President Hoover as one .
{means of relieving the present
[“hat'd times” situation. The Pres- j
J5deni has asked Congress to make
money available now that was j
} not to be paid until 1935. on all'
[claims running from $309 to $1.
! 500, or a total of more than
| $100,090,000. I
| Department Commander of the i
American Legion. Alaska, J. A.',
j Talbot of Ketchikan, on Wednes- j
jdav wired Seward Post Comman
der Leonard Hopkins to get an ;
idea of how the men stood on
| the proposition. He had in turn
been requested for such informa
tion about all Alaska from the
1 |
national commander. The organ
ization as a whole, it appears, is
backing up President Hoover in
his demands on Congress.
Hopkins took the matter up
locally with as many legionnaires
j as he could find. They were prac
Jticallv a unit in wanting an early
: adjustment, although a few ob
jected to any payment now if
there is to be any discount- This
information was wired the de
partment commander.
The Gateway is indebted to the
Biological Survey, the Fairbanks j
branch, for the excellent photos
; of the musk oxen herd which j
reveals them getting fat and
sassy on their Interior range.
PIONEED WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Mina Kubley, well-known
pioneer resident of Ketchikan for
many years, passed away there I
last week, according to the Ketch
i
ikan Tribune. She is survived by a I
