VERDICT OF THE JURY
It is through reaction of public sentiment that the astute business
man guages his business outlook. By the same token the newspaper
may know if it is giving the service which the people demand.
That The Gateway is giving this service is vouchsafed in the deluge
of letters which have poured in following its suggestion that some
change be made in the road building system of Alaska. From faraway
Nome comes a strong letter of endorsement, accompanied by a list of
subscribers, who take this method of displaying their appreciation of
what they describe as the newspaper with the courage to fight their
battles and inspired with a desire to benefit the entire Territory.
From high officials in the States have come similar letters, all
applauding The Gateway’s efforts and welcoming them as aides in car
rying out merited programs for the betterment of the Territory.
When our suburban critics can display such a file of complimentary
messages, they can claim something more than being mere scolds.
SEWARD ON THE AIR
The Anchorage Radio Broadcast Station KFQD, J. P. Hanhon, di
rector and announcer, hopes to interest Fairbanks and Seward busi
ness men to the extent of providing one program each week which, by
remote control, would be broadcast from the Anchorage station.
The idea would be for one, or a group of business men, to purchase
either the entire evening’s broadcast or a portion of the time and ar
range a suitable program of local talent, interspersed with news and
advertising items. A studio room, with the proper equipment, naturally,
will be a necessary adjunct.
Mr. Hannon says the initial cost would not be prohibitive and cer
tainly would be wonderful and appreciative publicity for both Fair
banks and Seward.
The Gateway believes “J. P.” is correct and would welcome such an
innovation. Contrary to the opinions of many publishers, The Gateway
is convinced broadcast stations and newspapers should cooperate with
each other for both have merit in their respective field.
British and German physchic researchers are trying to change a
nanny goat into a beautious maiden by means of a 15th century witch
formula. It is a proven fact that the 18th amendment, a 20th century
formula, will change a beautious maiden into a nanny goat. But, why
bring that up?
St Paul knew his legislatures when he said that of the making of
books there was no end About 17,000 new laws were created in 1931. j

Records show that from 1842 un
til I860, when the islands were held
by Russia, the average annual take
was 1,829, which dropped to 1,240
in the years between 1871 and 1890.
Since 1890, there have been but
four seasons when the take was
more than 1,000 pelts.

Word has been received that F.
W. Bradley, president of the Alas
ka-Juneau Gold Mining Co., and
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Co.,
was honored in New York. He re
ceived the William Lawrence Saun
ders Gold Medal from the Ameri
can Institute of Mining and Met
allurgical Engineers, for success in
mining gold profitably from ore
containing less than $1 worth a
ton.
For many years the value of the
ore at the Juneau mine was less
than 60c per ton in gold value,
with nearly 12,000 tons handled
daily. By opening up new ore bod
ies the value has increased to over
90c per ton.

headquarters at Juneau. On March
1 the Boedekers will leave for San
Francisco, and on April 15 the Cap
tain will sail for Alaska on the
Cutter Tahoe, in command of the
Bering Sea patrol.
