FOUR TEAMS ENTERED
FOR MILE RELAY RACE
ON FOURTH OF JULY
(By “Crimpy” Harris)
Four teams have entered in the
mile relay race, one each from the
Army, Surveyor, Jesse Lee Home and
Seward High School. This spe'd il
e.ent is rousing much enthusiasm
and discussion. All the teams are so
evenly matched, that it appears as if
it will be one of those hair-raising
finishes. Anyone possessing a weak
•heart would do well to stay away
when this race is run, as the winner
won’t have over a whisker’s advan
tage. “Slim” Lenhart, the anchor man
for the Army team says he is not go
ing to shave until after the race.
If anyone wakes up some fine morn
in.g and firfds that a mountain has
been moved, don’t get excited but
keep under vour hat. It will not ^e

in training for the Tug-of-war. The
other day, just to raise an appetite
they threw around a 500 lb. drum of

Another entry from the Jesse I ee
Home. Andy Paterson is now number
eight for the Marathon. It is not the
inleention of the writer to start any
argument as to the winner, but if j
Ardy don’t finish among the fi”st
three to cross the line, then he has
made a very poor guess.
They say only fools are positive
and if such is the case then Gimpy
Q. X., is a mighty big one. He \s
positive that the celebration this
Fourth of July will be not only tha
best, but the most unique that the
citizens of Sewrard have ever had the
i
p’easure to witness. To give credit ! a I
a few individuals is not fair and
square. It was put up to all Se\Vi A
everybody responded.
The public will have an opportunity
to see A1 Davis’s newly acquired b i
on the Fourth of July. On that dat:*
-
it will make its initial appearance in
the parade.

Editor Gateway:
It has been wisely said that no!
country is better nor grater than its!
citizens; that its greatest asset is its
youth. It becomes the duty then of
every government to safeguard the
health of it people and to provide good
educational opportunities and whole,
some recreationn for its youth. We
have found in the communities already!
visited a healthy robust people and (
vigorous boys and girls with educa. ■
tional opportunities equal to that of. j
fered in many States. With such a
foundation Alaska should have no mis.
givings about her future.
We have received a hearty welcome
in each city .and have met a hospitali.
ty characteristic of Alaskans. Every
official and each Chamber of Com.1
merce seems anxiou to help and to!
give desired information. With such;
united effort Alaska is sure to forge
to the front.
From information at our command
we are convinced that the present!
generation does not even dream of the
mineral and agricultural wealth con.
tained in the mountains and valleys of
this great Territory.
Some day these treasures wiil come
fourth, not by magic, but by the in.
domitable will and persistent effort
of a sturdy unconquerable citizenry.
We are much interested in what we
have seen and learned about Alaska
and her people. And hope our inter,
est will increase as we proceed on our'
journey.
Seward occupies a strategic position
and is well named the Gateway. We
appreciate the courtesies shown by the
mayor, the Chamber of Commerce and'
the people generally.
