GLORIOUS WEATHER
We have never seen it more beautiful before than
yesterday and today. And when “pink fingered dawn
first tore aside the somber curtains of the night it
must have been on Resurrection Bay. ,
This morning some were lifted out oi bed at tne
first break of light as though some quiet, beneticen
spirit had aroused them and lightly touenea them.
Out across the bay an upstanding pinnacle of snow
flashed brilliantly like a merry searchlight turned upon
the dark surroundings. It was still dark this morning
■when down along the range and all around the bowl
some fairy sprite began jicking out peak after peak,
touching each with a dainty wand of pink and rose. And
over one of the high pinnacles a long streaming gossa
mer of drifting snow flared out like a golden bannei.
Sixty above, a beaming sun, a magnificent evening
and gorgeous moon, and then a marvelous dawn with
another beautiful day. And still there are some who walk
today with a frown plastered on their “map!”
When President Harding described Seward as “a
jewel in a perfect setting,” nothing more could be added.

Prospects are bright for the restoration of the
H-cent rate on first-class postage.
It has been disclosed that there has been a reduction
of $310,000,000 for 1932, which figures a loss of $o2,000,
000 as a result of the 3-cent rate.
The increase in the airmail from 5-cents to 8-cents
has cut the volume by 30 per cent. Under the first-class
mail increase to 3-cents the loss in volume has been 40
per cent. .
Had the same rate and volume of 1929 been retained
there would be a surplus of $19,000,000 instead of deficit.
It has been pointed out by the Postoffice Department
that by increasing the rate to 3-cents on postcards a total
of $10,000,000 would be added to revenues. The result
has been a loss of $0,000,000 out. of the $10,000,000
hitherto received under the 1-cent rate.
Nowt if the farmer had received that 75c for his
wheat instead of the speculator.

Unemployed actors are crowding the streets of Par

Now that The Gateway has been accused of setting
fire to cross-ties, someone arises to accuse it of being
the cause of delay of the beer bill. Hence we are now
The Deadly Gateway.

What was thought to be a westward volcano in
eruption was merely a “still in them thar hills, letting go.

Seward on the breakwater and at
Iliamna, as foreman of the Alaska
