WELCOME HOME MR. SMITH
The occasion of the return of Noel W. Smith, general
* manager of the Alaska Railroad, who arrived in Sew
ard last night after spending several months in Washing
ton in attendance upon Congress, is the signal for The
Gateway, in behalf of the citizens of Seward, to officially
welcome him back home.
His arrival marks the ushering in of spring activities
throughout the railroad belt and what promises to be
another successful year’s operation.
Mr. Smith has made good in economical management
This should be sufficient to still all opposition.
It was like seeing an old friend again when the S. S.
Aleutian warped up to the dock last night.
SOME INSIDE INFORMATION
Far be it for The Gateway to boast but we want the world
to know that in two years time the circulation of this
paper has grown almost five times. There is hardly a
point in the Territory but what The Gateway is mailed.
And by the same token the circulation throughout the
United States would surprise the average if we wen£ into
detail. We can truthfully say hardly a mail arrives in
Seward from the North, South or West but what brings
one or more new subscribers.
Charles Lechner, local agent for the Ford car says
he saw an auto advertisement last month which did not
have a picture of a bathing beauty beside it. Now Charlie
be your age!
Strawberries may come and strawberries may go but
the old Northwestern is with us forever.
Funny people Alaskans: When they are in Alaska
they are crazy to go Out. When they are Outside they
are crazy to return North. Then they wonder what they
were so crazy to go Out for.
The trouble with that “charm school” for women
which recently failed was that the pupils were not fur
nished any raw material to work on.
A Canadian magistrate convicted Arthur Larocque
of obtaining money under false pretenses by selling a bot
tle of water for $3.50 after representing that it was
whisky. Americans get defrauded*worse than that, but
have no law to protect them.

EDWARD A. ThEDY ONE
DF OLDEST ALASKANS
Edward A. Thede, a resident of
Seward since the founding of the citv
and one of the earliest of Alaskans—
it is said he was a resident of the j
North when under the Russian flag—
died last night at the Seward hos
pital following an illness of a num
ber of years. He was well over 70 s
years of age and until the i>ast win-!
ter was able to get about fairly well, j
Earlier in the winter he was taken'
to the hospital for treatment but his j
friends were unable to talk him into
remaining there long. Inst Thursday
he reentered the hospital in a very
low condition and no hope was held
that he would recover. Cancer of the
stomach is thought to have hastened
i
the end.
For many years in the early days j
of Seward Mr. Thede was in charge
oF the Seward dock from which pos
ition he retired many years ago. He
was an esteemed member of the local
Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska. Funeral
arrangements were not announced to
day.
