LETS GO AFTER THIS ROAD!
It will be a happy day for the citizens of this region, j
which embraces one of the largest productive areas in
the Territory, when through the agencies of the road
builders a person or party may step into an auto in Sew- j
ard and drive to any point on Kenai Peninsula, where j
fishing, mining, fur farms, hunting and agricultural!
pursuits flourish and where scenery surpassing the
famed wonder spots on the globe brings gasps of amaze
ment.
Such a road artery has long been desired by the
widely scattered hundreds of residents of the Kenai
Peninsula as well as by Seward because of trade rela
tions and development of that fertile field. Everyone in
' this part of the Territory seemed to have been asleep
at the post during the past year and as a result the bulk
of certain road apropriations went to Southeastern Alas
ka and the Interior.
It is high time to start something!
One advertisement is better than no advertising,
but steady advertising is the way modern businesses
grow.

SEWARD’S PORT PILOT
The value of a resident such as Capt. 0. A. Johan
sen, veteran navigator of Northern seas, is exemplified
in the reputation of the Port of Seward; Captain Jo
hansen has created the post here of harbor pilot as well
as coast pilot for vessels new to these waters. The pre
sent instance, that of piloting the big cableship Dellwood |
up Cook Inlet, is an illustration of the asset to the port.
Few there are who will dispute the statement that Cap
tain Johansen knows the Southwest coastal waters of
Alaska like a book and that any vessel acquiring his ser- j
vices as nilot is as good as safe at the point of destina-;
tion.
One thing about politicians; they have more sense;
than the people they fool.
The Gateway takes this opportunity to thank the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce for Tuesday's resolution of
thanks in appreciation for a recent special edition dur
ing the few hours visitation here of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce party. A word of praise once
in awhile is incentive for bigger and better endeavors.
The staff thank you.
Over the air each week from the Anchorage radio
station comes a piano program from the gifted fingers
of Nell Hewitt Listen in tonight and hear a real girl
play some real music. Broadcasters in the states have!
nothing on “our Nell” j

The weather must be hot in the Fairbanks country
for there is a distinct lull about prohibition.

The name of a once-prominent but now forgotten
United States Senator has been brought into remem
brance again, by a contest over the will of his son, to
whom a portion of the Senator’s property had passed.
Anyone wishing to have his memory kept green can j
hav*; his desire by simply leaving enough property so j
that it wall be profitably for remote relatives to fight
about it.
There are many local minors making the rounds
but all are the “bunk.”

CHIRIKOF ISLE CATTLE
TO BE REVITALIZED
FROM FRYE RERD
The impression that the “wild
cattle” on Chirikoff Island are to
be slaughtered by the Chirikoff
Island Cattle Co., because of its
meat value is all wrong, according
to the Seldovia Herald.
The corporation, which holds a
20-year lease on the island with
departmental permission to cross
the herd of wild cattle with sturdy
st«ck, intends to build up the herd
not only in weight and quality but
in number as well.
C. H. Frye, head of Frye & Co.,
wealthy Seattle meat packer, is
president of the new company and
| it is from the Frye range herd of
25,000 head that white-faced heif
ers will be drawn to revitalize the !
northern herd.
COMMITTS SUICIDE
Made despondent by fear that
he was going insane, Arvid Ben
son ended his life in Fairbanks
by drowning himself in Noyes
Slough. He had tied a 12-pound
sledge hammer around his neck.
Last winter he lost heavily in
stock speculation, says the News
Miner.

News Miner. The jail has a quota j
of four occupants.
A substantial increase in the
muskrat catch in the Fort Yukon
district over that of last year is
reported by the Fairbanks paper.
The catch will total about 50,000. j
