THE ALASKA DELEGATE
The Seattle Times lightly asks “where was Alas
ka’s delegate to congress when that $500,000 Alaska
Railroad cut was made. The Gateway has asked for
years what the delegate has ever done for the Terri
tory he is supposed to represent for $10,000 a year.
The recent mystery is solved, however, by a later
dispatch which relates the delegate up to his “neck” in
that pressing and all-important problem of the poor,
little reindeers.
Instead of making a last minute effort before leav
ing office March 4, when his long tenure expires, with
at least one constructive battle behind, that of work
ing like fury in behalf of the Alaska Railroad, he
chooses to fill us up with some more “hooey,” this
time, reindeer. For years past the only subject tie could
harp on was the fisheries. Did he do any good for Alas
ka in that connection? Not by a jug-full. Mining? No!
Hot air from start to finish. But at that, he can laugh
at us, for he be quiting with plenty of “penga.”
For years The .Gateway has been off of him like a
dirty shirt and we had hoped it would not be necessary
to again tell the world our opinion of him, but when
today’s dispatch, on page one, came along, we just nat
urally bursted a blood-vessel
DON’T LET THE “HOWELLS” BOTH El
Evidently it took something like a $500,000 slash in
the Alaska Railroad appropriation to awaken the
City of Seattle moving spirits to the fact such a thing
would effect them seriously, judging from the clarion
•call for help which has rung out over the otherwise
peaceful atmosphere. We’re glad, anyway, that even at
this late hour, they are responding to what really ap
pears to he a little more serious annual hullabaloo from
Washington, directed against Alaska, even though the
chorus is in rank discord. Any average Alaskan can
set Washington right in a very short time, but they
feel “mother knows best,” in this particular instance.
Besides, if Alaska’s problems were straightened
out so quickly, who could they pick on next year? Let
'em hop to it. Gives us the other barrel and be done
with it.
Howell probably means alright but let him howl.
Let’s all go hunting or fishing or something.
The present Senate, which has two blind members
and no telling how many dumb ones, have not treated
Alaska so bad after all, a checking up shows. But if
they really want us to appreciate them, for good
ness sake lay off the poor Alaska Railroad. Didn’t tiiose
members up here the past few years enjoy their ride.
Couldn’t they dunk their doughnuts at Curry with as
much gusto as in the States?
We doubt very much if any kind of a large vessel
can operate profitably between Seattle and Anchorage,
as against present transportation agencies. Probably if
every Tom, Dick and Harry would patronize the vessel
but past experience in this same connection were flat
failures.
Judging from the comments heard the past two
weeks about the “midget golf” course which opens up
here soon, Sewardites have been bitten real hard by
the “golf bug.” Fore will shortly be the password.
Its about that time of the year for announcement
emitting from Washington that another investigat
ing committee will vacation in Alaska next summer.
We were going to suggest they come up in the yacht
Mayflower but happened to think, “too late! too late!”
the darn thing burned and sank.
Congressional lame ducks must tremble for the
safety of Alaska.
■GIST STATION
AN5HORAGTIEGIFIENT
IN! FINE EtnEIS
The Anchorage Radio Station,
The Gateway is informed, is the
recipient of many letters telling
of the wonderful service they
jare giving the people in the
hills.
A. A. Shonbeck, prominent An
chorage business man and agri
culturist, and Mr. Parsons, both
of whom recently made a trip
to the hot springs, out of Fair
| banks, wired their appreciation
of the splendid reception.
Herning, of the “California of
| Alaska,” always sends in a fan
| letter.
Churchill of Knik, is one of
the best boosters over in that
part of the country.
! Telephone calls from this city,
Seward, and from Fairbanks, are
daily occurences.
It is the aim of the station to
get as many fan letters as possi
ble, thus giving advertisers con
crete evidence that response
from. prospective customers is
assured.
It is the hope of the station
operators that a larger powered
station may be obtained, provid
ing the Federal Power Commis
sion will grant it. A better re
ception, of course would result.
Miss Ann Olsen, hostess at
Primrose Inn, Lake Kenai, left
the SS Alameda at Cordova on
account of an infected tooth,
according to a telegram. She
arrives on the next steamer.
Matt Nieminen, chief pilot of j
the Alaskan Airways, will be dis- !
patched to Kenai to bring in i
the bodies of the twro men found !
dead in the burned cabin, The !
Gateway is informed. The mcli ;
are believed to have met with!
foul play.
