DEADLY WOOD ALCOHOL
The public’s lack of information concerning the
difference between denatured alcohol and methanol
wood alcohol was directly responsible for 148 deaths in
various parts of the country during recent weeks. Af
ter one methanol drinking party at Pittsfield, Mass.,
eight persons died and another went blind.
Methanol is poisonous whether imbibed or inhal
ed as a vapor, and will produce toxic conditions if ab
sorbed through the skin. Communities are now being
urged to provide legal provisions regulating sale and
distribution of methanol wood alcohol. Individual
motorists are being asked to exercise great care in the
purchase of anti-freezing mixtures.
Some persons will take any chance to get an in
toxicating drink. The only way to keep this class from
poisoning themselves, it seems, is to rigidly enforce
the sale of methanol wood alcohol, at the same time
using every means to educate the public regarding its
deadly effects.
CORRECT US IF WE‘RE WRONG
With the U. S. Department of Agriculture import
ing chestnut seeds from Korea, China and Japan, and
the Alaska Game Commission importing into the Terri
tory Hungarian partridges, Mongolian, Chinese ring
necked pheasants, the hoozis from Afghan, tigers from
Siberia, and the oolaa bird from Pantegonia, there
appeal’s to be a need for game wardens capable of
speaking several languages.
We are wondering what kind of loco weed the
editor of the Mexican paper Universal Grafico might
have been indulging, in when he wrote there were 5,000
Mexican slaves living in Alaska. Certainly has our
famous “white mule,” the national drink, backed off
the boards.
A big male deer got in front of an auto in the
Fairbanks country and wrecked the car, in spite of
the driver’s efforts to pass the buck.
Thei*e are two sides to every question, we are
told. And each member of the Wickersham commission
appears to have taken both.

! For the first time in many I
| years, The Gateway admits it *
has been unable to obtain news of
| an important local event. But
| there is considerable satisfaction
| in knowing everyone else in Sew
ard was likewise unable to as
certain the facts, though there
was a lot of conjecture.
Not until the popular young J
| couple were ready to let their
I host of friends know, did the
! news of the marriage become
; known today and only three or
; four knew that Miss Wilma Harri
1 son, daughter of Mrs. R. D. Suili
j van, and Mr. J. D. Dyer, wen
j wed Monday evening at 8:30 at
I the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan.
Reverend E. E. Reisner perform
| ed the nuptials; witnesses were ,
Mr. and Mrs. Luke Elweli. Mr. and
Mrs. Sullivan were present.
Suspicion had been rampant
j that the newlyweds were going
* to pull a “fast one” on their
| friends, who in turn intended to
j celebrate the occasion by giving ,
■ them a free ride through Sew
jard streets, then, after some
i “fourth degree” initiation, escort
i them with solemn demeanor
| aboard the Admiral Farragut,
westbound.
But Mr. and Mrs. Dyer had
vanished overnight!
A search of the Admiral liner
i was made but it was unavailing,
j However, as the lines were cast
i off, and the crowd of hopefuls
j continued to linger on the dock,
the couple emerged on deck ?md,
with great grins, gave one and
all the famous international
salute.
“Just wait ‘till they return,”
muttered their friends as they
I turned and made their way up
! town.

BLOOD POISONING
Casper Kuteson, who recently
came up from Jacks Bay, Valdez
vicinity, is suffering from a severe
case of blood poisoning as the re- j
suit of the penetration of the j
third finger of his hand by a j
piece of rusty steel cable, a piece j
of which remained in the finger, j1
1 The whole hand is badly swelled!
and discolored and there is a pos
sibility that the finger may have j
to be amputated, says the Valdez j
Miner.

C. Brown, arrived in port during j
