ILIAMNA’S BIG CHANCE
The recent sensational advance in the price of cop
per will undoubtedly result in the opening of the
great copper deposits of the Iliamna country. After
years of patient waiting those holders of high and
low grade copper claims around Iliamna and Clarke
lakes will finally come into their own.
The close students of copper fiuctations have known
for some years that copper could never go down
irrespective of occasional highs and lows on the market,
because the demand for copper was gradually increasing
to supply the ever-growing demand in industrial manu
facture while the product of the old mines decreased
and the discovery of new deposits did not hold up to
the ratio.
A good copper property is as good as a gold mine
today and always will be for the reason that copper is
not so widely disseminated as gold and the demands for
it are even more insistant than gold.
The Iliamna has miles of good copper ground, looked
over and tested and passed upon by experts of the big
copper corporations who found it good. Since the open
ing of the prospects requires a railroad and the expendi
ture of millions, the big money has been holding the
Illiamna deposits in reserve. The time is now at handj;
when they must open up these reserves for the auto
mobile and the radio and industrial world in general
needs more copper. It is not too much to predict that
the next, quick development in Alaska will be in Illiamna. •;
PRINTING THE NEWS
When to print a disagreeable story and when
to leave one out of the paper is one of the most trouble
some problems of a small-town editor. In the case of
a person who is unfaithful to a public trust, or one :
who is guilty of a serious crime, it is not difficult to j
decide, because the public interest as well as the public’s j
right to have the news, demands that it be printed.
There are some cases, however, in which the offense
is entirely a personal nature, and in which publishing«
the story would bring sorrow^ and embarassment to in
nocent persons without serving any beneficial purpose.
In these the making of a proper decision is not often j
easy. If the story is printed, relatives and friends of j
the person concerned will feel that it was unnecessary; j
if it is suppressed, the scandal-mongers will be dis
appointed, and many will insinuate that the editor was
“bought off.”
These same scandal-mongers would howl the loudest,!,
however if their own shady actions were held up to
the public gaze.
So, it’s hard to please everybody, and no editor tries '
to please everbody if he has any sense. He must let his
own judgement and his own conscience be his guide. He
will not go far wrong by following the rule laid down by ]
the late President Harding for the guidance of the!
staff of his newspaper, the Marion Star, which is this: j
“If any item comes in that would cast ignominy or J
reproach on some innocent woman or child, don’t wait
for somebody to suppress it, but suppress it.”
What ho,—the wild violets on the hills and the long
est day of the year approaching. Now is the time to
store up some sweet thoughts for those sour moments
when the cat slips on the ice in the kitchen and no wood
in.
Few monuments are erected to people who observed
all the rules

Geo. E. Hayes of Hollywood,
techincal director of the firm of
Hayes & Marin Company, Para
tone Talking Motion Pictures, ar
rived in Seward last night on the j
S. S. Alaska, bringing with him ]
several Vaudeville Talkies. Mr. j
Hayes advises the Gateway that
he intends to get in touch with ;
Manager Brownell, of the Liberty j
theater, in the hope of showing
these pictures here.
These are all high class vaud
eville acts, specially selected, and
are somewhat similar to those
run in first class houses such as
Keith, Orpheum and Pantages
Circuits.
These Talking Motion Pictures
have been presented at Ketchikan,
Petersburg, Sitka and Skagway
vrith great success, Mr. Hayes j
states, and are, so to speak, the
first official showing of talkies in j
the Territory.
Some of the vaudeville head
liners, which may be presented
here, are Les Saylor, from the
New York Winter Garden; Fritzi |
Fern, star of Earl Carrol’s Revue; |
J. Saunders, the man with #1000
faces; Rondell & Flynn, from a
“Night In Paris’’; and several
others including Brennan & Ray
mond, vaudeville star and Miss
Judy King, direct from Paris.
Providing satisfactory arrange
ments can be made here this new
and novel program will be shown
about the middle of the week.
BUYING LANDING FIELD
Without a dissenting vote, the
Ketchikan council decided to pur- j
ihase from R. A. Bartholomew a
;ract of land containing a little j
nore than two acres and to erect j
andinsr platforms for planes com- j
ng into Tongass in conjunction [
vith the Territory each to spend a '
