‘TWAS YEAR AGO
GATEWAY BULLED
It was ;ust about a year ago when
one o.f the worst (also humorous)
typographical errors in history was
made by The Gateway. They still
talk about it. Many leading papers
and magazines in the States carried
quips about it.
However, The Gateway is' glad to
recall to the attention of its readers
that Mr. and Mrs. Chris Halvorson,
popular and well known local resi
dents, celebrated their tirst anniver
sary last Thursday.
Oh yes! The error.
The headlines on The Gateway, at
the time of the marriage of Mr. an l
Mrs. Halorson, read something like
this:
Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson
married over the week-end
One line of the deck was lett out
and-- and--. Well what’s the use o!
trying to explain ourselves out of it.
The fact remains it sure was some
blunder. Even the newly weds had
to laugh, thank goodness for that, so
everyone is happy. But The Gate
way wishes to take this opportunity
of extending congratulations to the
.happy couple and wishes them many
more pleasant years.

lector, arrived from the South today.
W. R. Neville, popular Alaskan
salesman representing several com
panies in the States, arrived in Sew
