WHAT’S BREWING NOW?
For weeks there has been on the editorial desk of this
paper The Gateway’s answer to General Richardson’s ar
ticle which recently appeared in the Atlantic Monthly and
from which so much criticism has been heard; and also,
judging from the remarks of General Manager Smith of
the Alaska Railroad, at the recent local meeting, has ap
parently cost Seward a potential source of revenue this
year; new work on the southern division of the line.
We have not published it for we did not want to hurt
Colonel “Dick’s ’ feelings. We feel certain, in view of the!
adverse criticism which has arisen from it, that if he had,
known such a thing would have happened he never would
have composed it. He always has been one of our most
staunchest and loyal boosters.
However, we are-a long way from Washington and
who knows what may be brewing back there with respect
to Alaska, not the play-field for future Americans, but
the present plaything of politicians. We can surmise!
many things'which might take place.
The Colonel’s article was correct in many instances!
but in cue of the next few issues we will point out a few
errors he made when he took it upon himself to enlighten
the United States on a subject he evidently was not sup
plied with true facts; relative to this district, of course. /
SEND A SEWARD DELEGATION
The Gateway would like to offer the suggestion that
if anyone has the time and the inclination, to take in the
Fairbanks Dog Derby. It would be a wonderful thing if a
Seward group could be formed and attend the races in a
body. It would further help in cementing the firm friend
ship already existing and would carry a wonderful mes
sage of goodwill. Only by the cooperation of other Alas
kan communities can Fairbanks hope to make the Derby
an annual event. The business people and citizens of the
“Heart of the Golden North” are putting up their hard
cash to put it over.
If sufficient interest is taken it will not be long before
it will becohie a national event.
Special round-trip fares are offered over the railroad
The journey would be an inexpensive one. Take a vacation
now; you have a busy season ahead of you.
The Alaska representative at Washington is conspic
uous, as usual, by the total lack of defense for the Terri
tory he is paid lots of cold cash to represent.
The World War wll never be over until all of the nat
ions involved stop talking about another one.
To complete mankind’s absolute inertia from daily
tasks, there remains to be invented an automatic tooth I
brush.
, The larger a nation’s navy the bigger chip on its
shoulder; and the sooner some other nation wants to
knock it off.
FUNERAL SERVICE IS
HEED FOR E. L THERE*
- -- j
Edward August Thede, pioneer Al
askan and resident of Seward for
■ many years, was laid to rest yesterday
afternoon in the Pioneer plot, Seward
( cemetery, under the auspices of the
► local Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska. The
service was attended by scores of
friends paying their last respects to
the departed. W. R. Macpherson ren
| dered a very appropriate sermon,
i Edward August Thede was born in
| St. Petersburg, Russia, on April 27,
1 1856. In 1900 he went to Nome and
five years later moved to Unga. In
March, of the following year, he mov
ed to this city where he had resided
| permanently since.
I He became wharfinger of the Sew
I ard docks and as such filled the posi
tion for many years In a creditable
manner. He resigned some years
later, and became attached to another
I
j local branch of the railroad service.
In late years his health began to fail
and he gave up all active wrork.
Mr. Thede owned considerable pro
perty in Seward and was considered
to be moderately wealthy at the time
1 of his passing, March 3, 1928, at the
'age of 72 years.

! at Alleglianey, Sierra county, on the !

is apparently in territory owned by
the Sixteen to One company, which
took over the larger part of the Tight- •
ner holdings two years ago. That this
enrichment came out in one piece1
gives added interest in mining circles. ■

Zane Grey’s
GREAT HISTORICAL SPECTACLE PLAY
“ The Vanishing
American ”
A TEN REEL SUPER FEATURE
What the “Covered Wagon” was to the early
settlers, this play is to the American Indian. It
is not of Indians only but tells the fascinating
tale of their downward trend under the onrush
of white men.
A MAGNIFICENT PICTURE STORY
One of the outstanding photoplays of the year To match the
picture a most unusual cast was selected headed by
RICHARD D!X - LOIS WILSON
NOAH BEERY |
MALCOLM McGREG0R
And they do very fine work. An epic of the Red
man, showing him in many periods from the
Cave Dwellers down to the present, all staged
in the most beautiful background of Northern
Arizona scenery. A picture th^t everyone living
in America should see.
Zane Grey has made a thrilling, wonderful
story from historical incidents and facts—both
an intensely interesting entertainment and
an extremely instructive one. If you want to
see something great come tonight.
NOTICE—This is one of the big special productions
and shews at advance prices everywhere but instead
of charging the usual 75c we are putting the price
at 50c for adults and 25c for kids in the hope more
people will see the play. All children under 12 years
may go in free IF accompanied by both parents or
guardians.
