A GRACIOUS COMPLIMENT
The Gateway desires to express its fullest depth of
appreciation for the compliment paid it by the Anchorage
Times in its special edition. Emblazoning the front page,
and expressive of the luminous quality Alaska presents!
to the nation in point ef hope and commercial possibili-!
ties, is a three-column illustration drawn by the editor of I
The Gateway ior '■ he Pathfinder several years ago.
While not crediting The Gateway with the illustra
tion the sting is removed in part by the Times consisten-j
cy in using Alaska products in presenting a very credita
ble Special Edition and one which carries a punch and 1
should have its influence in the accomplishment of things •
capable of accomplishment when everybody throws their!
shoulder to the wheel.
Now that Congress has finally voted to accord the,
Philippines independence Alaska should at least have a :
chance to get onto the stage with a similar proposal.
It is pioposed to surround the Chicago World’s Fair
with the U. S. army to protect the exhibits from the rack
eteers.
With a 12-mile booze limit and a 12-year indepen- j
donee limit foi the Philippines, and Alaska emergng from j
a 12-year experimental stage as a foreign possession, the
outlook is bright for Alaskan independence.
After exhaustive debate Congress has finally decid- j
ed that in order to keep the pork barrel full for the faith-,
fill it will be necessary to slash wages of the man draw-!;
ine SI,500 or less per annum.
__—.
Automobile fatalities decreased 13 per cent last year, j
If the depression continues the time will arrive when a j
man can cross the street without a parachute.
Its difficult to climb the ladder of success without
kicking someone else down.
_
It develops that the Filipino’s insistence on freedom j
is based on a desire to secape becoming as corrupt as the
rest of us.
About the only chance we appear to have in secur
ing beer with a tax is to put tacks on the seats of Con
gress and get a rising vote.

O'MALLEY LOPS OFF
78 FISH TRAPS IN
ALASKA: S3 S. E. A.
Seventy-eight fish trap sites in
Alaskan waters were permanently
closed by regulations of the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries issued recently,
effective for the calendar year 1933,
it is announced by N. O. Hardy,
warden, in charge of the Juneau
headquarters of the Bureau. Many
of these, it is believed, were sites
temporarily closed last year and on
which the owners failed to pay!
their territorial license taxes.
Some time ago, Commissioner j
Henry O'Malley advised the owners
if licenses for 1932 had not been
paid on the temporarily closed
traps they would be closed perma
nently. Among those on the new
list are a number in that category. I
Fifty-three of the 78 are locat- i
ed in Southeastern Alaska waters,!
and more than 50 per cent of that:
number are in one district—North
Prince of Wales Island; five i
in Icy Strait; six in the Western ]
district; five in the South Prince;
of Wales Island district, and sev-!
en in the Southern, or Ketchikan,!
district.
Western and Central Alaska dis- ;
tricts combined lost 25 traps. Two I
were in the Alaska Penisula area; \
two on Kodiak; 17 in Cook Inlet!
and four in Prince William Sound- ;
Pacific American Fisheries were ;
the heaviest loser with 10. Naket;
Packing Corporation. Libby, Me- !
Neil & Libby and Booth Fisheries j
each lost four and Peril Strait ;
Packing Company lost three.
Two Juneau independents who!
lost traps each are Dr. L. P. Dawes |
and George Franklin. The for- i
mer’s was located in Excursion In- !
let, and the other on Admiralty;
Island.
Paris Inn, broadcasting over

THE TEMPERATURES
Seward, as usual, retains its grip
on one record which other towns
along the railroad belt can’t take
away. Today the temperature reg
istered 32 above; at Tunnel it was
10 above and at Anchorage nine
above. Talkeetna came thru with
zero, Broad Pass eight below, Healy
18 below and Fairbanks, the “heart
of the Frozen North”, 40 below.

THE FAMOUS NOVEL
“So Big”
by one of the greatest of modern writers, Edna Ferber, again put
on the screen in a wonderful talking picture with
BARBARA STANWYCK
in the star part. An 8-reel feature portraying better than ever
this fine Pulitzer Prize Novel. A very fine drama of toil and the
soil—high ambitions, high ideals. The star playing the role of a
young girl rich in youth, to an old lady rich in experience and
influence. With it there is an unusually fine vaudeville musical
act reel, a good 2-reel comedy
