ALASKANS NOT DANGEROUS
All they have lacked was the White House, the Cap
itol building and Pennsylvania Avenue to make some
of the towns in Alaska believe they were in Washington,
D. C.
The streets have been full of United States Senators,
Congressmen and high government officials. And they
all seemed to be real men, affable, easy to approach and
willing and anxious to learn all they could about the
conditions under which we live in this far away corner
of God’s footstool.
Some said they found Alaskans not a bit dangerous;
that they cannot believe our bear are so dangerous an
animal as they had been told and that none of their
party had been bit or clawed by a native or bear.
More and more, as each day rolls by, the citizens of
the city are thankful to the council of last year which
grasped the opportunity to establish the Seward General
Hospital and found ways and means to attract Dr. A. D.
Haverstck to this city. Without question, Seward is be
coming known throughout the Territory as the “Mayo
of the North.”
EDITOR’S FUTILE WORK
Like all good community boosters, Editor Shannon
of the Commerce (Ga.) News tries to aid his home mer
chants by advocating a trade at home policy.
Like many another good community booster, Editor
Shannon sometimes gets discouraged through lack of
appreciation on the part of those for whom he tries to
boost. But let him tell it in his own concise fashion:
“Two weeks ago we penned the best editorial we
know how to write, doing our best to encourage the
people of all this section to patronize home merchants—
and bless your heart, honey, not a single business man
in Commerce has even said Thank you.’ That goes to
show what it goes to show.”
Which leads the Tifton Gazette to remark if Editor
Shannon had urged folks to “buy it away from home”
he would never have lived long enough to hear the last
of the holler that would have been raised.
Tourist agencies may be alright, but we doubt if
they are doing the Territory justice in rushing visitors
through the Northland similar to suburbanites return
ing home at the rush hour. It is true, the visitor can
return home and say he has been to Alaska but time did
not permit him to learn anything of the Territory.
In June, 1919, twelve years ago, was signed the
treaty of peace wjhich ended the World War. Judging
from the bickerings that have taken place since, as to
who was to come out on top in the matter of repara
tions and war debt payments, it might better have been
called a treaty of fleece.
An interesting letter was received by The Gateway
from the States the other day in which the writer again
remarked of the pleasant time he enjoyed while in Al
aska. But there was mention of a subject which recalled
something too often forgotten by many, that no matter
if one is not wealthy in gold, he is indeed inch, if he has
friends.
In a country such as Alaska, whose resources have
been scarcely touched, there is opportunity for every
man able and willing to work.
Success needs no explanation; failure does.

ON STREET IRK
“I have been working on the pro
position for some time on the pos
sibility of making the cut-off road
across the lagoon said mayor D. C.
Brownell, “getting the figures and
probable cost of completing the
road from our garbage dump to the
mile post 0 on the present road.
Due to the school building expenses
and the hospital expenses during
the past two years, the Council
has no surplus to devote to the re
pairing of the present roads, let
alone constructing new ones, but
the availability of two dirt moving
machines, in active operation now
in town, present an opportunity to
have both old and new work done
so cheaply, that I believe the town
should find some means of under
taking the work at this time.”
The Mayor further added, “Mr.
Boudray, Superintendent of the Re
surrection Bridge construction for
the Seims-Spokane Company has
generously agreed to give the city
50 truck loads of gravel during the
next two weeks. He has also given
us a reasonable figure for rental of i
the drag-line shovel for a week or i
two after their work is completed.
“Mr. Greely, Superintendent of the
Puget Sound Dredging Company
of Seattle has assured me also that
he will, so far as he is able, place
the dredged material in the lagoon
to the best advantage of the city.”
Henry S. Hall Jr., of Boston, and
Mrs. Hall are returning to Al
aska for a trip to the Interior, j
Mr. Hall was a member of the
McCarthy party climbing Mt. Lo
gan in 1925.
