THE MORNING AFTER
We got going good yesterday and are now right
trim for the New Year. We are full of holiday spirit
1 we don’t mean liquid. We got a wonderful kick out
Christmas and expect to get a bigger kick out of
w Year.
This “peace on earth, good will to men” idea was a
xl one when it was first pronounced and it gets bet
■ with the years. We are wearing our new suspenders
th gusto. We are full of turkey and plum pudding,
i one who has less than six million dollars and 75
its has anything on us. We’ll match him for the
s and won’t cry if we lose because we’re going to
ike her back in 1931.
Any pessimist or misanthrope who can go thru
Alaska Christmas and wake up with a sore spot,
esn’t belong to our society. We’re glad we’re alive;
oud of our city, county, district, state, fur farm, fish
ip, placer claim, territory and nation. We won’t sell
y part of it but we’ll take on anything you’ve got
offer.
THE MAN FOR THE JOB
“With a million dollars in your Territorial treas
y why doesn’t Alaska endeavor to help herself by
ivertising and publicity/’ was one of the first ques
)ns asked by the Senate committee touring Alaska
st summer. The Gateway has been trying to put over
at idea for years and for three years past has tried
s utmost to obtain just that kind of a job for ‘Babe”
ayes, of Cordova, Alaska’s unofficial ambassador
t greeting and of goodwill. Politically speaking,
Babe”, who is without question the best man in Alaska
>r such a position, seems to be the last man the politi
ans want. But to H— with the alleged rulers, the
laska rank and file who earn their bread by honest
vveat of the brow and not by hot-air, want him.
As usual, no doubt, the buck will be passed to the
Governor who in turn will either pocket veto the idea
r dole out some more political patronage to one who
as never attempted to lift a finger toward helping the
'erritory, wdiereas “Babe” has unselfishly given freely
f his services for years past because this sort of boost
ig comes natural to him; its a hobby with him.

Reindeer meat from Alaska i
herds is finding a ready market in ■
this country, it is stated by Ernest
Walker Sawyer, representative of
the Alaska Railroad
Five hundred reldeer sold at 9
■ cents a pound in Seattle last week,
I while hides, suitable for making
| gloves, were marketed at $1.35,
' each, he said. The reindeer 'were
| brought to the Washington city,
; by the U. S. S. Boxer, which trans
I ports government supplies to the
Territory.. '
j A plan for co-operative mark'd
| ing of the animals in order to esfc- :
j ablish a uniform price is suggested !
! by Mr. Sawyer, who added that Al
aska can furnish the American
consumers with many thousands of j
reindeer annually.
; Canada likewise considers the {
reindeer industry profitable, it was ;
I pointed out, for 3,000 animals were j
| purchased in Alaska a short time
J ago and were then moved into
| the Yukon territory. The herd had
j shortly increased to 5,200 head.
ALL OF THE BEST
Mel Holben, proprietor of the
Seward Grill, says his New Year’s
dinner will be even better than
his Christmas feed which was
largely enjoyed by those away
from home. Holben says you can
have naything from reindeer
to whale. If you want a whole
whale better give a little advance
notice because whales are hard
to catch at this season. Never
theless, l,we strive to please,”
says Mel.
