Dir GATEWAY EDEN
DISTINGUISHED RATING
IN NATIONAL CONTEST
Unsolicited, the Seward Daily Gate
way is informed through the receiving
of a diploma from the University of Il
linois, that as the result of National
Community Newspaper Contest, found
ed at the University of Illinois, the
Gateway has been given a distinguish
ed rating in the 1926 newspaper con
test.
That such a contest was under way
was not known to the management of
the Gateway, and where they got the
Gateway and what editions "were se
lected remains a mystery.
ADVANCE AAAP OF NIXON
FORK REGION OFF PRESS
An advance copy of the map of the
Nixon Fork district, Alaska, recently
prepared by the Alaska branch of the
Geological Survey, was sent to the
Gateway in the last mail by Philip S.
Smith, chief of the Alaska division.
There is a limited number of this
advance edition, Dr. Smith advises,
but so long as they last a copy will
be sent persons who have special use
for it or able to furnish information
regarding the area it covers. Re
quests should be addressed to the Di
rector of the Geological Survey,

FUELING STATION ON KISKA
ISLAND IS URGED BY SEAT
TLE REPRESENTATIVES
Development of a fueling station
on Kiska Island, to the far Westward,;
the establishment of aids to naviga
tion along the shores of the Aleutian j
Islands and the establishment of aj
government cable from Sitka to the j
Far East by way of til? Aleutians, I
are urged by J. J. Underwood, repre
sentative of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce who recently returned to
Seattle from a three months trade
mission to China and Japan.
|
At yesterday’s business meeting of
the Seward Chamber of Commerce.
:
held in the Seward Grill, a lengthy
article was read from the Railway
and Marine News magazine in whicc |
Mr. Underwood writes of the need of
active representation in the Far East
and that the United States navy has s
never developed its fueling reserva-!
1
tion on Kiska Island, which contains i
the best harbor of any island west of i
Unalaska, and is located midway be
tween Unalaska and Attu, the west- j
ermost tip of the Alaska Territory.
It is expected that this develop- j
ment will be urged in order that
American liners using the “great
circle route” to the Orient may re-'
fuel at this station and thus con
serve their space for cargo.
With aids to navigation installed
on the Aleutian chain, American
steamships plying to the Westward
from the Far East would use the
great circle route by returning to the
United States via Unimak Pass and
north of the Aleutian Islands in ord- !
er to take advantage of favorable,
currents.

“One of the things which could be
combatted and a plan in working
out a tourist schedule to the Orient,
via Alaska,” Mr. Underwood says,
“would be the establishment of a
.stop at some point in Alaska and we
could then advertise trips to the Far
East via the Land of the Midnight
Sun.”
The article caused a great deal of
discussion between members and it
was finally decided that Secretary
Hannon and Captain O. A. Johansen
i
write a letter to Mr. Underwood in
j forming him on several points in his
article.
