Authority granted, 606 to 3.
Gateway Editor:
“May I congratulate you on
your recent editorial, “The Man
for the Job” in which you indorse
Mr. “Babe” Hayes of Cordova for
the position as official ambassa
dor in greeting and good-will, a
position he has unofficially oc
cupied so adequately for so long.;
“Alaska needs publicity and a
lot of it and I can not under- j
stand why this office of publicity
and advertising w'as not created
j long ago.
“I am not an Alaskan but feel j
like one and I love Alaska. I
spent a part of the past two
summers at Fairbanks and am
a director and officer in the
Cleary Hill Alaska Mines Com- j
pany at Fairbanks, so feel a per- j
sonal interest in anything per- j
taining to Alaska or its future de
velopment.
A SUGGESTION
Look at the bottom of your
shoes; if worn or thin, have them
half-soled. It may prevent a hos
pital bill.

"I had the pleasure of meet
ing the U. S. Senate Committee
at Curry, in August and their re- j
port and recommendations to the
Senate were a very keen dis
appointment and a surprise, as I
had expected much better things I
from them, fafter their close and !
complete analysis of the situation. J
They can afford to spend over
half a MILLION on the recent *
wonderful (?) Wickersham Re- !
port, but the Alaska Railroad must j
increase their passenger and!
freight rates at least 50 per cent.
And Alaska is the last American
FRONTIER that needs develop
ment. Sometime our Congress is!
difficult to understand, or appre
ciate. I wonder if they understand
themselves.
“Returning to “Babe” Hayes, I !
met him at Cordova two years I
ago, and again last August and I
was surely impressed with his in- j
tense Alska loyalty and remarkable j
memory. His acquaintance reaches *
to ail parts of the world, and l|
really believe he is better known '
than any man in Alaska. l|
met very few tourists who did j
not know or had not heard of
“Babe" Hayes.
“I shall follow the Territorial
legislature which will meet m
March and sincerely hope it will
create such an office as you re-.
commend, and that your candidate
will be appointed.
“Alaska needs men like “Babe"
Hayes. There are entirely too j
few like “Babe” in politics, who ,
can give their best and untinng |
efforts, even without an official
position, as he has done for
years.

lis, Minn.”

Attention Alaskans!

SEND SAMPLES AND PRICE
Anyone, or any group of Alaskans, who can assure quantities of
Alaskan commodities suitable for export purposes, are asked to get
in touch with the undersigned.
Tliere is a tremendous market awaiting Alaskan products in the
Orient and it is the ambition of Mr. Kawabe to have, within the next
few years, such a business underway. He believes it will require that
length of time before the necessary tonnage of 1,000 tons per ship
ment front the Port of Seward, can be assured.
Numerous local inquiries have been directed to Mr. Kawabe as to
just what his plan was; it appears his first announcement which has
been appearing in The Gateway for the last week, was not quite
clear. Briefly, Mr. Kawabe desires samples of Alaskan products—any
kind which may be produced in quantity; the samples must be ac
companied by the lowest figure which the item can be supplied. Both
the sample, be it various grades of salt fish, grains, kelp, coal, etc.,
will be forwarded to the Orient where agents will endeavor to find
a demand. If there is a market for certain of these samples and the
price is satisfactory, orders will be sent Mr. Kawabe and it will be
up to him fill it.
The skeptical will no doubt say there isn’t a chance to develop
such an export trade from Aalska but no* only Mr. Kawabe and
others connected with him locally, but prominent Japanese officials
are greatly enthused over his proposed plan. Believing that unless
Alaskans themselves develop the Territory’s resources, 20 years from
now, or more, will see bnt little progress, is the thought behind Mr.
Kawabe’s entire plan. He is looking toward the industrial Alaska of
the future. He is visioning a bigger and better Alaska for alL
