WHUT! NO SNAKE DANCE?
There is no truth to the report
.hat General Manager Walter Cor
liss and his assistant Warren Neil
of the Saturday night public dance
committee, will execute the Hun
garian snake dance tonight, it
was learned at a late hour today,
but the boys say it—the public
dance—will be a good one. The
Seward Serenaders will execute
new and old melodies.
This evening’s train from the In
terior will bring a few members of I
the Territorial Legislature who are !
going to Juneau a week or two!
before the session opens.

A FLYING COURT
The morning after New Vear’s
Day word was brought from Kan
! uluk that a woman and child had
frozen to death.
A number of men went out to
investigate. They found the snow
all trampled around the woman’s
body by tracks which were alleg
ed to have been identified as those
of her husband. Her head had re
ceived various blows, her hair was
pulled out to the extent of bald
ness.
A white man living by admitted
he had heard her screaming and
her husband threatening her.
Yet the offender in this horrible
crime is punished only by a jail
sentence of a day less than a year. I
Otherwise he will be comfortably
housed and well fed as public ex
pense for a year.
It appears that the local auth
orities refrain from sending such
cases to Valdez on account of the
excessive costs and unsatisfactory
results often obtained by doing so.
What’s to be done?
Why not have a flying court to
these isolated communities to con
j vene as often as circumstances
' seem to demand it?
| A Citizen,

Editor, Seward Gateeway:
I am writing to you in regard
to an old age pension to take the
place of the existing pension,
i which really amounts to an aged
j paupers dole, and as it stands to
j day there are many needy oldtim
[ ers who are too proud to make ap
i plication for same,—whereas if
they were entitled to a pension at
a stated age, and after a certain
period of residence in Alaska, it
would do away with the necessity
of taking the paupers oath.
! If the oldtime prospector had
J the assurance that he had, say $30
; a month coming to him, he could
put in quite a good portion of the |
year at the work he is most fitted
for, prospecting, in which Alaska
is at the present time falling away
behind, and as this pension would
be helping the oldtimer, and the
Territory at the same time, as it
stands today the oldtimer and
prsopector, who blazed the trail
and opened up the country, is
daad and forgotten, except at
election time, as nothing is done
for him, and the young fellows
who come to the Territory each
year, just for the wage they earn,
returnirtg each fall to spend the
.same are invariably given the pre
ference, although of no lasting
benefit to the Territory.
The oldtimer has put in the last
30 years of his life in the country
and has no intention of quiting it,
and therefor is deserving of all
the assistance that can be given
to him
Now, dear sir, I ask you to give
this your personal attention and
if possible pass a law to this ef
fect and you will feel proud of
what you have done, and the old
time prospector and the public in
general will thank you.
Most sincerely yours,
Wm. McAdams,
.... Teller, Alaska.

It is alleged that 23 Filipinos in
or near Kenai have been “fram
ing” with certain natives to kill
moose for them and haul the meat
in. That because a U. S. Com
missioner is no longer stationed
at Kenai, the deputy marshal’s of
fice is practically helpless in num
erous misdeamors.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cameron
and son, former Anchorage and
Seward residents, were among
those arriving today from the

meron will reengage in the res
taurant business either at Anch
orage or in this city.
Senator Robert Bragaw and Jas.
Campbell, of Anchorage, arrive in
Seward today enroute to Juneau
where the Territorial Legislature

Roy Mathews, prospector, who
