EMERGENCY RECORDERS NEEDED
Among the suggestions made by numerous prospec
tors who make long journeys into the hills in summer is
a change in the Territorial mining regulations permitting
of five or more prospectors electing an emergency record
er among their number, wTho shall preserve and maintain
the records until turned in to the regular district record
er. It is suggested that the time period in which all such
emergency records shall be delivered to the regularly ap
pointed recorder be placed at six months..
The argument behind the request is the fact that few
men going into the hills on the spring thaw can get out i
within the required ninety days period, or if able to come
out, would lose many valuable days that might be devoted
to prospecting ground. Under the scheme of appointing
an emergency recorder, they could conform to all regula
tions and safeguard their interests, complete the season's
work and come out in the fall without losing time and un- i
dergoing hardship while rafting and wading turbulent
streams in midsummer when the water is high.
Under the present regulations all recording must be
done in the precinct in which the holdings are located.
• These precincts sometimes embrace a large area of terri
tory, and often portions of them are almost inaccessible
during the open season. Miners may organize recording
districts where none are provided for, but may not do it
within a recognized mining precinct.
The suggestion of being allowed to elect emergency
recorders, to serve without pay, appears to be a good one
and should command the attention of the next Legisla
ture.
BAGGAGE TRANSFER
It is reported from railroad headquarters in Anchor
' age that The Alaska Railroad is completing plans for tak
ing over the baggage business in Seward by agreeing to
handle it on a charge of 25 cents. It would appear from
this unusual departure the road contemplates emerging
next year with all deficits wiped out and on an earning
basis.
“National prohibition is not a failure/’ declares the
Federal Council of Churches.” No, not for the fellow with
a fat job, making a bluff at enforcement, or the big com
binations that today form the bootleg trust.
The bone dry says prohibition is a success; the wets
say it isn’t, and the soak says: “What was that the Gov
ernor of North Carolina said?”
Since it is claimed that hurricanes are caused by re
ceiving “excessive moisture” from the Southern States we
can understand why they display delirium tremens.
The Agricultural Department says a shortage of fur
coats in the East is threatened. Don’t blame it on Alaska,
we neither have Wall street or chorus girls.
Maybe the Anchorage railroad basketball team eat
more than the Seward squad, therefor, need a larger
guarantee.
Maybe Marie’s reason for not visiting Florida was
that she came to America tp raise the wind, not to reap a
whirlwind.
Most white women who fall for Hindus usually learn
to pronounce it “Hoodoo.”
It is comforting to Houdini’s friends to know that he
could always get out of any place he didn’t want to stay in.
It now draws near the season when Boreas whispers:
“Away with the bare skin, on with the bear skin.”
Maybe they call them “Bureaus” because they are so
full of drawers—of salary.
JOHN BINGS CHEF
ELECTED PREPARE BIG
THANKSGIVING DIED
It is a certainty the Bureau of Pub
lic Road crews in the Moose Pass dis
trict are not going to suffer on
Thanksgiving day due to lack of tur
key for when W. E. O. Criger, assist
ant in charge of road construction was
in town the other day, placing a local
order for 60 pounds of turkey, besides
all the trimmings, such as mince meat,
cranberries, celery, fruits and nuts,
pumpkins, and all the rest of the fix
ings.
The big fled comes off on Saturday
or Sunday, and John Bangs has been
delegated to act as chef. “And be
lieve me,” Mr. Criger informed the
Gateway yesterday, “John knows how
to serve it up right. He is the best
cook in the North.” A count of heads
two days ago showed there would be
at least 35 men setting about the
banquet table at Camp 34 on the day
mentioned. How would you like to be
there, gentle reader? Talk about days
of real sport, won’t those babies have
it on that day!
MRS. LESLIE RESUMES
TALK, TOUR OF EUROPE
The regular meeting of the Seward
Woman’s club was held yesterday af
ternoon at the home of Mrs. Jessen.
After a short business session Mrs.
Leslie resumed her talk on her recent
trip to Europe, describing interesting
details of the journey to Paris, Lon
don, Dublin and finally to the home of
her girlhood. At the next meeting,
the members are to visit with her,
the lakes of Killarney and make the
homeward journey. The hostesses

The next meeting will again be held

Mel Holben, proprietor of the Sew

There is no man that works on the
wharf, too high or too low for John
to watch. Captain Horton is the
war-horse, John is the watchman,
and Avhen you try to find a man that
attends to his duties any better than
John Gilpatrick he cannot be found.
Now the other man I omitted was
Bob Merrell, one of the finest boys
on the wharf. He is Captain Hor

When anyone on the wharf gets into
difficulty, Bob is always on hand to
help him out. Bob, my boy, I did
not omit you intentionally. All men
looks alike to me as long as they are
men, and Bob Merrell is certainly
a man in every sense of the word.
