A TRIBUTE TO ALASKA
Business men, civic leaders and prominent Alaskans:
were among dintier guests aboard the new steamship |
Aleutian during its four hour trial cruise on Puget Sound
prior to its departure from the Queen City on its maiden
voyage to Alaska. Among the prominent guests were
Representative John F. Miller, and in paying tribute to the
Territory, he said:
“A long silent formation has taken place in the North,
but not yet has Alaska come to its own. Not over a dozen
Congressmen has ever been to Alaska. It would be the
highest policy for our national legislative body to take a
trip to Alaska. For 20 years Congressmen have been
making trips to the Panama Canal with expenses paid.
As a result the greatest majority of the members are fa
miliar with the working administrative features of the
wateray and it is a money maker. No legislation hos
tile to the Canal Zone gets through Congress. If Con
gressmen were to visit Alaska and know its resources and
beauty, then we would get the same results in the great
Northland.”
If Alaska had more staunch and practical advocates
such as Representative Miller, men of vision, whose voices
are listened to, many of her problems would be quickly
solved.
More power to you, Representative Miller!
Although the best of their kind, the trout in Russian
river expect to eventually get the hook.

lit CLARK MIST
Bronzed, weatherbeaten and hard as
nails, Alee Bolem and Mannie Senft,
local men who a year ago left for the
Lake Clark district on a trapping and
fur buying expedition returned home
yesterday. When they left they had
an outfit which in size had been sel
dom equaled, and many the opinion
was expressed that, they would never
be able to move in on the trapping
site. In returning they had equally as
large packs, but this time, instead of
camp equipment and supplies, the
packs were jammed with a variety of
beautiful furs.
“In certain areas it is a splendid
country for hunting,” Mr. Senft stated
yesterday to The Gateway, “and con
trary to prevailing ideas, it is full of
trappers, mostly native. Alec and I
found two fine valleys and in each
erected a cabin. Midway between the
valleys we put up our tent, trapping
both ways. With the furs that we
purchased and those we trapped, our
catch consisted of many beaver, mink,
ermine, muskrats, lynx, fox, wolverine, j
a few otter and two black bear. Every
bit of our equipment was traded in for
fur and every bit of cash that we had
went to buy fur.
“Throughout the Iliamna district |
and Lake Clark region fully half the
people are white. The natives, as a
rule, are from the Kenia and Aleut
tribes. The latter .especially, are ex
cellent trappers. It was my first trip
cmt on a trapping line, and I enjoyed
the experience immensely. It also
had been many years since Alec had
been out on a line. I plan going
back in the fall and look over a min- j
ing prospect which I found.
GOT ONLY PIPED
RECEIVED IT BURROW
The Seward Gateway was the on1}';
Alaska newspaper which reached the
Wilkins party ar Point Barrows since
they established their base at that
point last winter, stated A. M. Smith,
special corresondent for the Detroit
News, who “covered” the expedition
and who passed through Seward
Sunday en route east. “Wo certainly
appreciated the paper very much,”
Mr. Smith said, “for it supplemented
much news that we would not. have
gotten otherwise. The Gateway’s
columns were eagerly scanned by the
few residents of that northern-most
camp and all agreed it was certainly:
newsy.”
