TIME FOR IMPROVEMENT
Again the Gateway’s attention is called to the dire
necessity of additional work on the Iliamna village road,
11 miles in length, which is impassable by wagon or car.
And thus being handicapped, more than a thousand tons
of freight per year is lost to Seward.
The expenditures of a few thousand dollars would
open up the rich Iliamna, Lake Clarke and Bristol Bay re
gion to Seward. But is must not be forgotten or over
looked that the residents of those districts themselves
long for such a road which spells easy and quick ingress
and egress.
Since the days of Russian occupation this condition
has existed. It is time these good people were listened to
and their general conditions bettered.
BON VOYAGE
We hate to see you go Sergeant Morse, but realize
the parting of the ways must come when duty calls. You
will be missed not only by your pals of the Quartermaster
Outfit, but also by the Signal Corps and local citizens.
Good luck to you and Mrs. Morse and it is hoped that you j
both have a pleasant journey, be happy and contented at
your newstation. Bon Voyage.
We don’t know who the rest of the Fourth of July I
committee is but if they are all working like “Gimpy”!
Harris, we doff the lid to them.
HOLIDAYS NECESSARY
Dr. Charles H. Mayo, the noted Minnesota surgeon,
declared that holidays are necessary to the prolongation:
of iiie and the attainment of the highest achievements.
^ He especially commend the habit of English clerks
and workmen, who usually spend their week-ends in the
country or at the sea shore, where they enjoy surround
ings entirely different from those in which their daily
tasks are pursued*. This change of activity and scenery is
the best possible recreation to prevent becoming fagged
out from one's work, says Dr. Mayo.
There is no doubt that most persons fail to take ad
vantage of their opportunities to get away from and for
get for a time their regular occupations. The hustle and
bustle of American town and city life are trying on both;
body and mind.
Perhaps we could do more and better work if we!
v. ould make it a practice to spend our holidays, week-ends
V acations as far away from shop and office as possi
Eskimo songs reaching the States by radio are said
to be almost as bad as theirs. >
THE BIRTH OF ALASKA
i
The birth of modern Alaska may be said to date from
the Klondike gold discovery in 1896. Visions of gold lur
ed thousands to its shores and between 1880 and 1927 min
mal \ allied at $5/1,000,000 were discovered, of which
$360,300 000 represented gold and $188,000,000 copper,
lhe peak of mineral production was reached in 1916 with
more than $48,000,000 worth.
. Poising the town ladies for having the cemetery
cleaned up, an exchange declares that “the grave yard
looks most inviting.'’ s -

I
The Alaska Railroad ia cooperat
ing quite fully widh the Forestry de
partment in the protection against
i'ire in the Chugach National Forest,
stated Wm. J. McDonald, forest su
pervisor, a recent arrival in Seward
ijom the Sunrise area where the
:econt fire has been keping him busy
for the last week.
Mr. McDonald said the spark ar
restors on all locomotive and ditcher
s-acks are being maintained and that
section crews this spring burned
grass on the various sections which
alone is a tremendous help in the
prevention of fire during the dry
spells.
Through the courtesy of General
Manager Noel W. Smith, the Alaska
Railroad supplied the Forestry d3
partment with three gas car speeders
and these are being used by the For
est service patrolmen in follow’ng
up trains and patroling their respec
tive districts; also, section men have
spent considerable time in suppress
ing fires along the railroad. .j

SCRAP BOOK [KERFS
“First of all I must thank you for
the papers and books you have sent.
And most of all I have enjoyed the
Review of 1927. It is such a pleasant
reminder of my trip to Alaska. The
trip I made north was the most won
derful summer I have ever spent. The
scenery of Alaska is surely unsur
passed and of all places the people
most hospitable.” Mrs Pearl Si?ler,
