TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY
Seattle shipping circles freely admit that to Alaska
must go the credit for really starting the port of Seattle
as a “world port.” It was that dispatch, published
around the world in 1897 that started the most famous
gold rush in history, which took Seattle from a little
known “lumber town” to a commercial city.
Shipping to Alaska still remains a very material fac
tor in the Seattle activities, with 22 lines serving the
northern treasure house. Alaska has an annual com
merce approaching one hundred million dollars’ and fully
80 per cent of this is done in Seattle.
If such is the case, then why does not Seattle get be
hind Alaska whole heart and soul, and assist in making
something of the country that put the Puget Sound city
on the map to stay?
The Skagway Alaskan, Alaska’s newest paper if off
the press and a copy of its first issue received by The Gate
way. The paper is published twice a week, on Wednes
day morning and Saturday evening. It is of eight pages,
and though small in size is large in news value. The pub
lishers are Gurden J. Farrel and Cathryn L. Hahn, with
the latter as editor. The Gateway extends its best wishes
to the Skagway Alaskan, washing them a long, happy and
prosperous life.
Whv go to Normandy to hear the chimes when the
large steamships arriving in Seward play them before
meals?
One of the local boys in the telephone office makes
the wise crack you can wire for money but that doesn’t
mean to say you will get it.
Every berth on Alaska vessels are numbered, thus
making a census unnecessary.

VETERINARY SERVICES
DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN
The Territory has encountered
considerable difficulty in securing
the services of a veterinary suitable
for advising with and assisting Al
aska fox farmers. The U. S. Biologi
cal ^survey has no man it can spare,
Governor Parks has been advised,
but it is hoped that the Department
will shortly find someone Outside
of the service. Authority for em
ploying an expert was given the Gov
ernor by the Territorial Legislature
which appropriated $15,000 to defray
all expenses of the work for the next
two years.
