STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT
On or about August 12, 1932, more than 200 of the
leading industrialists of San Francisco and the Pacific
Coast will invade Alaska in search of trade and invest
ment. The community best prepared to offer its resources
will be the fii'st to profit from this great opportunity.
There is plenty of time between now and the hour of
arrival of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce ex
cursion for making a complete survey of the mineral re
sources adjacent to Seward, and have a mass of correct
data to present.
Every prospect owner should see to it that The Gate
way has an accurate description of his property, with all
questions of title, development, etc., answered. Others
with development or investment plans should have them
ready, in concrete form and be prepared to work with the
Gateway in presenting our resources to those who will be
in a receptive mood for their consideration.
It is anticipated that the excursionists will remain
long enough in Seward to accept our hospitality both go
ing and coming from the Interior. It is then that contacts
may be made which may loose a deluge of capital for this
district.
The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce is pri
marily interested in trade development. They wish to sell
San Francisco to Alaska.
Let us get together and sell Alaska to San Francisco!
LOST HIS HAT FOR DEAR ALASKA
A congressman, attending a charity bazaar in the
East for the benefit of something in Alaska, possibly for
prospectors with fallen arches or for wooden teeth for
Alaskan square heads, absent-mindedly layed his silk hat
on a table. Some minutes longer he discovered his hat had
been sold and carried away. Moral: If congressmen did
their duty toward Alaska no charity affairs for Alaskans
need be held. But at that this congressman seemed to be a
pretty good sport for he nonchalantly shrugged his shoul
ders, snapped his fingers and laughed, hey! hey!
Alaskans must not look at things today with the
viewpoint of 20 or 30 years ago. Progress or development
will never come that w7ay. There are many Oldtimers who
do not want a change; the change which is certain to come
with progress. Nevertheless Alaska is changing and will
continue so.
Now a cash and carry liquor system is proposed. The
trouble is that so few can carry the stuff wuth dignity.
All newspapermen should see the “talkie” now show
ing at the Liberty theatre, “Scandal Sheet.” The moral is,
print all the news and you’ll windup in prison or a wood
en overcoat. It isn’t what an editor puts into his paper
that counts, it is what he leaves out.

MUSTSESORE STARTED
ON COED MORNINGS
From Moose Pass comes word
that George Lindsey, of that region,
is busy getting out 1,100 feet of
piling for the Alaska Railroad. The j
pilings are being taken out thru
the use of Caterpillar tractors
which do not seem to mind the
drifted snow as they keep plowing
right along.
Chester McAuley, “cat” driver for
Mr. Lindsey, is at present in Sew
ard enjoying a brief vacation. He
may remain here for a few days
longer as he failed to get into Sew
ard for Christmas owing to the
trip from the Lindsey place to
Moose Pass station recently requir
ing some extra time and he missed
the Christmas train into Seward.
The “cat” usually makes the four
mile trip in one and one-half hours
but the recent trip took somewhat
like four hours because of the
snow .
Having in mind the trouble
caused local auto owners by the
cold weather in the starting of their :
autos on certain frosty mornings, j
McAuley was asked how he started
the "cat” in the mornings.
He explained that on the tractor
where there was no self-starter
that they used hot water and blow
torches to heat the carburetion
system and then put two men on
the crank. Sometimes, he said
ether is poured into the cylinders
for easier and quicker starting. Yes,
it has taken two hoi#rs to start one
of the "cats” on a cold morning.
The Little Theatre Club of Sew
ard will hold its next meeting on
January 14 at 8 o’clock.
STARR HERE WITH BARGE
Towing the big coal barge Law
rence, the SS Starr, Capt. Arthur
Ryning, returned to port Sunday
morning from Cordova. Hundreds
of tons of Alaska coal will be put
aboard the barge for sale at the
Copper Gateway City.
DELAYED BY LEAK
Five or six hundred tons of Evan
Jones coal will be loaded aboard
the barge Lawrence and towed to
Cordova by the SS Starr. The Law
rence sprang a leak Saturday and
was beached in order to caulk
seams. Chas. Goodall, sawmill own
er and coal dealer of Cordova, who
arrived with the barge, had hoped
to be loaded and away tonight.
Hotel registrations Sunday were
Chas. J. Goodall, of Cordova, at the
Van Gilder, and F. H. Lounsbury,
of Anchorage, at the Seward Hotel.
