GATEWAY IS THANKED
It’s nice, and makes life worth while, to receive occas
sionally a letter in appreciation of something said, or done.!
The Geological Survey, Washington, D. C., recently sent!
The Gateway such a letter in which Acting Director W. i
C. Mendenhall says: I
“I have noted with gratification the praise given the 1
Geological Survey in the editorial carried in the February
14 issue of your paper. I thank you for your appreciative
reference to the work that the Survey is trying to do for j
the development of the Territory, and I assure you that!
all Survey members connected with that work will contin-1
ue to put forth their best efforts to merit your continued j
confidence as well as that of all others who have the sound j
development of Alaska at heart.” ’

We never knew Dr. Charles Jorgenson, the “Father j
of Alaska Agriculture,” very well, only through briefi
contact, but those short meetings were sufficient to real
ize his work was his hobby; he loved it. His death yester
day at Seattle was an irreparable loss to the Territory,
and Alaskans everywhere, when they hear of his death,
will pause for a moment*in silent contemplation and voice
an unspoken tribute to him.

Sometimes we wonder what’s the matter with the |
American Press when we read dispatches like Thursday \
which informed the wide world Pola Negri has obtained '
another divorce and has sailed for the United States. |
What did she ever do aside from entertaining the public
for which she undoubtedly was paid a darn sight more
than she could possibly be worth? Has she any children?
Did she ever have any or is she going to? Why don’t
those “great” metropolitan newspapermen send us news
about Mrs. Maloney, a good, earnest and devout mother
of those last triplets. What's her secret for success, etc.
We’re more interested in her than a common, paid en
tertainer.

The politikers at Washington are preparing you
and I, the average public, for big stuff next December,
judging from that blast of “wdiooey” about both the Dem
ocratic and Republican layouts being in fear of being
held to blame for the alleged slimness of Uncle Sam’s
poke. What have you or I got to do with it? What are they
thrying to pass the “buck” for at this early stage of the
game? A couple of years ago we well recall the two bil
lion dollar error which our friend Mellon made; surplus in
stead of a deficit. It they are honestly running short of
the filthy lucre, let them cut down expense ; “fire” every
“geoduck” or “snooper” and kick out the prohi office.
**;jc:}:i{:**$**#*
Not so long ago the recent Alaska delegate bom
bastically opposed the raising of the salary of the Gov
ernor of Alaska, and when this opposition was di
gested by the House of Representatives, the measure
increasing the salary to $10,000 a year was immediately
and forthwith passed and became law. Why do some
iame ducks” imagine they can walk or even quack with
any degree of intelligence?
****«**$#*«*
A few years ago the House of the Massachusetts
legislature voted to repeal an ancient law prohibiting
the wearing of long protruding hatpins by women, in
the belief that bobbed hair had eliminated them anyway.
The Senate refused to concur, saying long hair might
come back, as it appears to be doing just now. So, due
to the Senate’s farsightedness Massachusetts folks are
still safe from the deadly hatpin, if not from the spright
ly automatic. As an after thought, if this had been Mis
souri, we might end by saying “hee haw!”

One new ad a day will keep the “wolves” away.

first vessel of the year to reach
Anchorage since last fall or when
navigation closed down. There is
very little ice in Cook Inlet, Cap
tain Berger states.
The Discoverer pulls out again

Mrs. Nilsen. mother of Vivian and
Norman, local high school pupils,
who came from Portlock.
