ANOTHER BROWNELL ARTICLE
Don Carlos Brownell, local business man and may
oralty candidate, whose article ‘‘The Great Alaska Puz
zle/’ published exclusively in The Gateway last sum
mer, brought forth an avalanche of criticism and
praise from the five corners of the United States, has
been working for some weeks on another which will
again reveal enlightening, original thoughts pertinent
to the Alaska Railroad and management. This also
will appear exclusively in The Gateway.
Judging from the run on income blanks at The
Gateway office, up to March 14, it is apparent condi
tions could not have been so bad the past year around
these parts.
A LITTLE EARLY BUT O. K.
Taking a page from the Alaska Railroad, The
Gateway, which has lost somewhere around $96,000
the last fiscal year, ending June 30, (Entre nous)
has decided to raise subscription and advertising rates
about, oh, say around 50 per cent. April Fool!
First thing you knowT American officials will have
to get the Italian ambassador to O. K. their speeches
before delivery, if ‘sister* Stimson has his way.
Local airplane companies are not losing a moment
in lining up for increased passenger business from
the coast to Interior points. The exorbitant raise in
rates over the government-owned Alaska Railroad,
has played squarely into the laps of independent trans
portation companies.
A SPLENDID IDEA
The Gateway has decided that the next time it
retrenches, the management *is going to fire the asso
ciate editors, the business manager, managing editor,
city editor, special feature editor, society editor, sports
editor, waterfront editor, etc., thirteen reporters, -two
re-write men, the staff cartoonist, circulation mana
ger, advertising manager, three proof readers, 16 mem
bers of the office staff, the morgue lady, exchange ed
itors, and, well wTe got to stop some time. Back to nor
malcy, our motto.
Have you noticed all the Larsons, Petersons, Jen
sons, Gustafsons etc., lately? But tell us - where in »the
duece do all the Olsons come from?
New York American wants the Nye investigating
committee abolished because of its waste of money. Why
not abolish the rest of them for the same reason?
“When its Toonerville time, then its springtime
in* the Northland,” is the latest song from the gifted
local composer, Sourdough Billy goat
Advertising is the light of the buyer's world—show
them the way and they will follow your beacon.
Complaint is made from Anchorage that the Sew
ard breakwater-track laying crew is jerking up the
rails from the southern division, for the local spur line.
Anything in it?
If the residents of Seward don't care to trade at
home nobody else will bother about it. It is up to the
local business houses to plug that hole by advertising;
in The Gateway, of course.
This is the time for all subscribers to come to the
aid of their party—as the politicians yelp—who are in
arrears, thereby helping the old payrolL
DIP OUT OF SKIES TO
SIT 'HOIK OE OOO'
Fifty minutes from Wasilla
to Seward was the time made
this morning by Pilots Frank
Dorbandt and Harry Blunt, who
came to earth here for a brief
visit then soared up and away
again, Anchorage-bound, this af
ternoon.
Dorbandt who with Alonzo
Cope, are the founders
of the Alaska branch of the Pa-’
cific International Airways of
Alaska, Inc., flew over primarily
to show the lay of land and
features of the local terraine to
Blunt who, this coming summer,
he said, will be doing a lot of
flying out of Seward; with a
plane equipped with pontoons,
, it is believed
j Pilot Blunt is a seasoned avia
| tor and has for years been en
i gaged in every 'branch of com
mercial and government work.
The acquisition of his services
is a feather in the cap of the
International Airways of Alas
ka. Dorbandt said. He also paid
I Joe Barrows a wonderful tribute
' when he said Joe was one of the
| crack flyers in the country.
Blunt flew the ship, equipped
'with skiis, down from Wasilla.
PLANES HAULED OUT
Wheels replaced pontoons yes
| terday on the two local Fairchild
i seven-passenger planes of the
| Pacific International Airways of
Alaska, Inc., and today they
were to be taken to the airplane
! field where the wheels were to
; be stripped and skiis affixed;
then the hop-off for the An
jchcrage base.
