THE WINNING SPIRIT
The Gateway is happy to receive the following let
ter from Ernest Walker Sawyer, Assistant to the Sec
retary of the Interior:
I have been very much pleased to see your editorials,
designed to start local operations on shrimps, clams and
crabs. If you can make a showing now then when the |
visitors come this summer your local people can perhaps j
obtain outside assistance to enlarge these activities.
Everytime I see anything from you on these sub- 1
jects I have several photostat copies made and send them
around to those who I think would be interested.
With this world-wide depression it is difficult to find
people who are optimistic, but if we persist we will fin
ally succeed on obtaining considerable increased prosper
ity for Seward.
Thanks for the cooperation.
Very truly yours, E. W. Sawyer.
Mr. Sawyer is an ardent advocate of Territorial af
fairs his work being the publicity of Alaska’s many gol
den opportunities. His encouraging message is most
timely and is just as welcome to Alaskans elsewhere as
to the citizens of Seward.
The only reason that Seward isn’t as large as New
York is the lack of greater publicity and additional' in
dustries. It is needless to remind our readers that Sew
ard is strategically situated in the center of everything
and we have everything in latent resources with which
to build a second London.
We’re for you 100 per cent, Mr. Sawyer; we like the
intelligent publicity work you are doing. Alaska has long
been in need of a fellow like you; one who will awaken
interest in Alaska as was the case throughout the nation
during stampede days. There are numerous other for
tunes to be made in Alaska aside from gold in the soil.
We wish there were two of you. Keep up the good work.
Alaska is with you!
Lectures similar to the one given in Washington, D.
C., by R. H. Sargent, of the Geological Survey, illustrat
ed with slides showing Alaska’s activities, are invaluable
to the Territory and the citizens of this country are in
debted to the Geological Survey for its personal in
terest.

When the day dawns that the citizens of this Terri
tory think half as much about the public interest as
they do about their own interest the success of the
country will be more than guaranteed.
Sourdough Bill, who has been struggling along for
years with a grin and a stiff upper-lip, says getting out
of debt is more a matter of backbone than bankroll.

Senator Norris wants to abolish the electoral col
lege. We’ll agree; with the amendment to also abolish
the Senate.
One blessing conferred by the radio is that some
speeches have been limited to 15 minutes.
Another evidence of American decadence is seen
in the fact that a popular crooner makes $325,000 a year.
The Indian summer is the scalping season that fol
low's flapper's spring.

SCHOOL BIKE SUE
BE GIVEN SATURDAY
LOCAL GROCERY STORE
_|
The Newswriting Class is spon
soring a Bake Sale to be given
Saturday, May 9, from 10 o'clock
in the morning until two in the
| afternoon, in McMullen’s store.
This Bake Sale is given to raise
money to enable the school to
publish an annual school mag
azine. The proceeds from the
Senior May Day Dance started
this fund.
I The only annual booklet of the j
Seward’s Folly ever published was
in June, 1925. The high school
graduates that year were Clara L.
Manthey, now deceased, and Lu
cille C. Byrne, who lives in An
chorage. This attractive booklet
is interesting, besides giving a re
view of the work and activities of
the school for that year. This
year there are eight in the grad
uating class, and the pupils want
to make a larger booklet with
more cuts.
There will be delicious pies,
cakes, salads, beans, home-made
mayonnaise and bread for sale.
Don’t forget! Saturday at 10 a. m.
to 2 p. m., in McMullen’s store.
