SPLENDID HIGHWAY ARTICLE
In a recent issue of “Holiday/’ a magazine of travel
sport, recreation and adventure, appears a splendid ar
tide by Ernest Walker Sawyer concerning the proposec
Pacific-Yukon highway entitled, “Paving the Way to Al
aska.”
The two terminal points on land, as Mr. Sawyer men
tions, are Seattle and Seward. At the conclusion of a free
full and general discussion of the highway and questions
relating thereto, Mr. Sawyer writes as follows:
Here at Seward is the ocean gateway to Alaska with its
magnificent harbor and its gracious metropolitan atmosphere.
And here is both the beginning and the end of the great circle
which leads through what will soon be one of the continent’s
finest holiday lands.
It is unanimously conceded by thousands of tourists
who have already visited Alaska that no section in the
world has more to offer the traveller than the Territory.
In fact, Alaska has already a reputation as the most de
sirable summer playground and no travelled portion of
the world can approach Seward and the Kenai peninsula
for accessible scenic attractions, and nowhere are there
such opportunities for devotees of rod and gun, truly a
sportsman’s paradise.
And the outlook for returns on investments are as
great in the Territory as elsewhere and the likelihood of
gaining permanent settlers from tourists and vacation
ists is as bright here as anywhere in the wtorld. There is
work and opportunities here for all who come. The com
pletion of the Pacific-Yukon highway will be another link
in the continental chain that will usher Alaska in to an
unparalleled era of good times.
BUGS WITH NEW HEADS
One of the most interesting biological experiments
recently noted is that of grafting the heads of one kind
of bug on the bodies of another, a feat accomplishment by
a German scientist, as reported by the Associated Press.
It is said that when the head of a beetle was grafted
on the body of a June bug it tided to burrow in refuse
matter and made no effort to fly, while the reverse experi
ment caused the beetle with a June bug’s head to try to
climb a tree. When a female head was grafted on the
body of a male insect of the same species, its actions be
came characteristic of the female, and vise versa.
Certain insects are sa^id to Vj well adapted to such
experiments, as they can live fur considerable time after
decapitation, because their organs of breathing are dis
tributed over their whole bodies.
Possibly some day scientists will prove the fallacy
of the saying: “You must not expect old heads on young
shoulders.”
Washington’s 200th anniversary will be celebrated
next year by people who voted away the liberty he gave us.

M FREIGHTER THOUGHT
LOST. DUTCH HARBOR
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct., 16, (/P)
'—Attempts of the liner President
i Jefferson to communicate by
adio at 6 a. m. with the stricken
Japanese freighter Yonan Maru
proved futile and gave rise to the
belief that the vessel went down
with a crew of about 40
The ship was about 500 miles
west of Dutch Harbor and the
| liner Jefferson was about 80 miles
I away with Colonel and Mrs. Chas.
i A. Lindbergh aboard.
The Yonan Maru was enroute
; from Portland to Shanghai with
j a cargo of lumber

RUMORS WERE CURRENT
WASHINGTON, Oct., 16 (/P)— j
Rumors current in Poland that \
the United States would abandon j
the gold standard were denied by }
the Treasury Department which
pointed out that the gold stand
ard is fixed by law
! IN CUSH WITH POLICE;
WERE STIRRED BY REDS
SHANGHAI, Oct., 16, (JP)—
I Twelve Chinese rioters were kill
ed in a clash with police at Can
ton during anti-Japanese riots
incited by Communists, according
to dispatches received here.
More than 100 demonstrators
were called out to prevent further
disorders. The outbreak occurred
as an aftermath of a celebration
of a national holiday- Police, fore
warned of probable Communist
disturbances, managed to keep
the crowds moving until about
300 students organized and began
raiding Chinese shops handling
Japanese products.
The mob increased rapidly un
| til 2,000 persons had collected.
■ Police intervened and arrested the
j ring-leader, but the crowd attack
' ed the police station. The fatal
j shooting then took place
Shanghai witnessed a riot on j
i the part of 2.000 Japanese who
invaded Chinese shops and tore
down all posters showing anti
Japanese sentiment. Police riot
squads and Japanese troopers dis
pelled the mob and only a few
persons were slightly injured.
Mayor D. C. Brownell has noti-1
fied school authorities that it is j
the city’s desire for school child- j
ren not to play in the main thor
oughfare, which leads past the
Seward Public Schools. It is point
ed out that to do so is to invite
possible injury and perhaps seri
ous consequences
To correct the belief that J. D
Prosser went out on the SS Alaska
The Gateway wishes to state that
it was Mrs. J. D. Prosser, daugh
ter Viola and son Seward, who
departed. They are going to San
Diego and will remain there for
some time- Mr. Prosser did not
go out, as was stated, but said
that he will wait until a bridge is
built, or the tide goes out, so that
he can walk to the States.
DAIRY OUTPUT INCREASED
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. (/P)—
The average yearly butterfat pro
duction of dairy cows in California
was raised to 265 pounds as the re
sult of an eight-year campaign.
In 1922 the average was 182 pounds
annually. The results were obtained
by more cow testing associations,
more purebred dairy sires, and bet
ter feeding practices. Eradication
of cattle disease was not over
looked.
