WELCOME TO OUR CITY
In behalf of the citizens of Seward the Gateway j
extends a cordial welcome to members of the official j
court party and to the scores of others drawn here in
connection with the term of the District Court. While j
in our city we hope many new acquaintances may be
made; that a closer bond of understanding between var-1
ious communities may obtain and that our visitors will j
seek and find the numerous beautiful and interesting !
outdoor attractions—field, stream or sports.
OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE
—.. ■- n - - ■
i
Appropos of the forthcoming visit to Alaaska of
Assistant Secretary of the Interior Ernst W. Sawyer
obtrudes the time-honored proverb: “In time of peace
prepare for war.”
The war in this instance embraces the entire “Alas
ka question.” Mr. Sawyer’s visit will be in the nature of
a voyage of discovery. He will wish to know what Alas
kans desire. How well these desires are presented and
' in what spirit will go far to determine if the official j
visit will fructify into something palatable to the res
idents of the Territory.
Street corner sessions and open forums around a
stove will not accomplish the results desired, yet in this
manner public expression may be had which will exert
an influence upon those whose position forces them in
to the spotlight to voice public opinion. !
It has been the plaint of every high official of the
government from the late President Harding down to
the last visitor that it appears impossible to secure an
open expression from those most vitally affected by Fed
eral regulations.
The time is propitious for organized bodies of what-;
ever complexion, to get together in a general discussion
of policies desired, thresh out the material and have a
concrete program to present to Assistant Secretary Saw
yer, along with assurances that it is the product of pub
lic opinion and not that of a few selfish individuals*
The first action of the Administration with respect
to Alaska demonstrated that it is the desire of President,
Hoover and his Cabinet to produce actual results in the j
Territorv instead of considering the matter in the ab-1
stract. If further progress is desired now is the time
to prepare the program and have it ready for the dis
tinguished visitor.
It seems like Cordova must have an eruption some
place. At the last election the council blew up and now,
according to a press dispatch, the ton of some volcano
Westward is allege4 to have lost it’s hat.
Illinois mayor and chief of police accuse each other
of hemp in league with crooks. We hate to contradict!
high authorities. .
Wonder how come “Talkies”
we have our politicians?
were invented when
We see by the Anchorage paper where politicians
are bussting out with alibis’ in defense of their recent
actions.
LEAVE ‘EM SMILING WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE
It is estimated that, at least 150 visitors will be in
the city steadilv during the present court term. From a
business standpoint this augers well and merchants,
as a conseouence, should wear a benign countenance.
But when it comes to the time of their departure let it
not V said we didn’t show them a good time during
respite from court duty. Let us be sure that when they
sav p-oodbve it will be with a smile of recollection of the
fine time accorded them.
HUNDRED HUSH
W NOW BECOME
CITIZENS OF 0. S.
_ I
More than 100 persons residing in ,
Alaska who have been unable to j
obtain final naturalization papers, j
because there is no record of their j
admission for permanent residence !
at the port thru which they claim- j
ed to have entered the United!
States can now become citizens
under a law passed by congress at
the last session. This was pointed
out by W. G. Strench, district direc
tor of immigration at Ketchikan,
in a letter to the Gateway.
“Provision has been made for
legalizing such entries if admission
occurred prior to June 3, 1921, if
the alien has resided in the United
States continuously since such en
try; if he is a person of good moral
character, and if he is not subject
to deportation,” said Mjv Strench.
“The procedure for accomplish
ing for the legalization of these en
templates at this time^an examina
tion similar to the one which the
applicant should have undergone j
at the time he came into the coun- j
try.”
In Alaska, the mater of arrang- I
ing for the legalization of htese en- |
tries is under the jurisdiction of the j
district director of immigration at ,
Ketchikan who has indicated that j
those interested should communi- j
cate with him and make request for I
registration blank forms. During j
July or August, an inspector of the
United States Immigration Service
will visit various parts soon to ,
conduct the examinations. '
It is pointed out that from the
entry records to be made under this
new law, certificates of arrival will
be prepared and filed in the appro
priate district court, after which
the matter of naturalization can be
proceeded with.
