A HISTORICAL DOCUMENT
It is with great pleasure that The Gateway an
nounces receipt of another brilliant article from the
pen of Dr. Joseph N. Cannon of Kodiak whose last ar
ticle dealt with authentic information and personal
observations on the Good News platinum district which
he visited last season and of which copies are still ask
ed for. It was one of the most informative ever pub
lished and w’as widely copied.
The article “Aleutian History/' is dedicated to
Alaskans and Doctor Cannon says, in his letter, that
he has been told it had never been published in America.
Owing to the length of the article it will have to
be published in The Gateway serially, the first appear
ing in this issue.
The Gateway is indebted to Dr. Cannon in being
again selected and being given the privilege of publish
ing his works exclusively,and The Gateway takes this
opportunity to publicly thank him for the confidence.
DEAN OF ALASKAN EDITORS
Although no editor’s name appears in the “mast
bead” of the Anchorage Times, Roy G. Southworth, vet
eran Alaskan editor, is now managing editor. The change,
it is said, became effective March 15. Prior announcement
of the contemplated change was made in The Gateway.
Roy Southworth is known to practically every Sour
dough in the Territory being a Sourdough of the vintage
)f the old Dawson days himself. A conservative, forceful
writer, his many friends, and The Gateway, congratulate
lim; and also the Times Publishing Company.
IT ALWAYS HAS PAID
Excuse us if we devote a little space in this col
umn to a subject dear to our heart, advertising.
We have noted that Vice-President Charles H. Me
Hahon (we always note what bankers have to say)
uf a large Detroit bank, says that newspaper adver
tising has outstanding advantages over all other ad
vertising media in speed and action.
“A financial advertiser has assurance that today
tie can reach the literate population of any or all com
nunities by advertising in the newspapers,” he said.
‘You may not have listened to a radio today, nor have
received any advertising by mail, nor read any outdoor
advertising, but most of you will read the newspapers,
rhus newspaper advertising duplicates the influence
)f all other advertising and touches in addition fields
;hat are exclusively its own.”
It is gratifying to note Monday’s dispatch in which
;he Alaska allocation of forest service funds totaled
learly $1,000,000. Every dollar of it is needed and will
3e intelligently used in preservation of present tremen
lous growths and in building roads with the forest do
nains.
Seward should endeavor to secure a land office as
well as^ many other government offices owing to its
stragetic location which is becoming more apparent as
?ach day passes.
Alaska coal is entering new fields this season by
-eason of cooperation from several sources. Thousands
)f tons have already been ordered by Westward can
neries and dealers to the south. This has been brought
ibout by the Seward Chamber of Commerce, the Alas
ka Railroad and The Gateway.
What a “kick” coal operators from the States
would get if they could stand on the local dock and
watch the crude coal-loading method. And by such an
mtiquated method hope to enter competitive marts.
