WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A Chinook from the north anc
in the dead of winter, were the un
usual weather conditions in Sewarc
Friday. Oldtimers are at varianc<
in forecasting weather for the re
mainder of the winter, some de
claring the cold waves of continen
tal United States will visit Alaska
ywhile ethers say, not so; the win
ter colds are over.
The ice on Kenai lake is esti

! EX-TRANSPORT ARGONNE
AND MINE WED ARE
COMING NORTH SOON
The Navy is about to build a new
[ outpost in the Pacific—a weather
. station in the middle of the Aleu
>! tian Island chain, the “weather
; I factory” of the world.
} Bent on establishing an all
■ year round aerological station in
that bleak part of the North Pa
; fic, the mine sweeper Gannett,
; veteran of four Alaskan survey
| cruises, and the big ex-transport
Argonne will sail March 10 for
Alaska from San Diego, Cal.
1 Carrying two Loening amphibian
planes, the Gannett will map and
' chart the section about Kanaga
and Adak Islands, while the crew
of the Argonne builds a gasoline
operated radio station and weath
er observatory at some location
yet to be selected.
An officer and nine men, most
of them qualified aerologists, will
be left behind to send reports daily
to San Francisco, for the guidance
of ships.
High and low pressure areas
which form in the Aleutian area
determine for instance, whether
it will rain in San Diego. The two
islands of Adak and Kanaga are
about 200 miles north of the peak
of the Great Circle shipping route
from Seattle to the Orient.
j Miss Rita Revelle, daughter of
j Mrs. Andy Simons, left Sunday for
Lakeview.

ALASKA BUREAU OF
SEATTLE ORGANIZATION
CONSIDERING TIE FACTS
Editor E. F. Jessen,
Seward Gateway, Seward, Alaska.
Facts concerning tie purchase
being investigated. Our Alaska com
mittee will consider at next meet
ing and reply to your telegram.
The above response is in answer
to the following cablegram address
ed to the Seattle Chamber of Com- j
merce by The Gateway February 5: j
“We desire expression by your
body on the principle of invasion
of Alaska’s field of activity and
wresting therefrom its source of
revenue as was consummated in
taking crosstie production from
Alaska workmen while seeking
Alaska markets for your merchan
dise.”
The above dispatch was also
wired to the Associated Press.
Thus it is sought to have a show
down revealing 'whether or not
Alaska in the future will find it
self a mere adjunct to Seattle, or
whether the repeated and outspo
ken claim of Seattle to the effect
that it is laboring in behalf of
Alaska have an element of sin
cerity.
Seattle, being the chief benefi
ciary of Alaskan trade cannot af
ford to reach out and deprive Alas
ka of its means of Livelihood. It is
believed there are many sincere
friends of Alaska in the Sound City
who will take the same view of
the situation as The Gateway.
Many of the coastal cities of the
United States have bled Alaska
white of its treasure and returned
nothing in the form of industries.
Alaska has been compelled to
buy Washington lumber in large
quantities where there is an abun
dance of fine timber scattered be
tween Ketchikan and Seward. And
simply because the big lumber in
terests of the Pacific Coast have
bee nable to dominate Congress
and keep Alaska’s timber locked
from capital. Already one of the
largest bodies of timber—larger
than the Weyerhausers ever con
trolled—has been tied up for four
years, and the Alaskan sawmiller
cannot touch it.
If Seattle desires to supply cre
osoted ties to the Alaska Railroad
it should establish its mills in Alas
ka.
CAGE GAME TUESDAY
The last basketball game of the
local season will be played off
tomorrow 'Tuesday) evening with
the Seward High School "Ponies”
facing the undefeated Seward City
squadron. The City athletes have
been practicing for 30 days and
30 nights for their Anchorage in
vasion next Sunday, so are in the
“pink.” Admissions will be 10c and
25 cents and, the game will start
at exactly one minute past 8 p. m.
One thousand ore sacks arrived
on the SS Admiral Evans from the
south Sunday for the Gold Stan
dard Mining Company of Nuka
Bay. The company expects to be
gin shipping ore next month.
The Gateway was not published
Saturday owing to a bad break in
the Seward Light & Power Com
pany water supply line near the in
take. Power was off from about 10
p. m. Friday night to 1 p. m. Sat
urday.
