FREDERICK W. LEHMANN, LAWYER
Frederick W. Lehmann, who died Saturday in St.
Louis, sold newspapers in Cincinnati, slept in barns and
vacant dwellings and ran from policemen because he
feared they would arrest him as a juvenile vagrant,
became president of the American Bar Association in
190S and Solicitor General of the United States in 1910. ]
He held the latter office two years, then resigned to!
resume his private practice in St. Louis.
On Christmas Day, 1929, Mr. Lehmann was present
ed with a testimonial of high regard by his associates
of the bench and bar. The first name on the list of |
signers was that of William Howard Taft, then Chief
Justice of the United States, but who, as President, had
appointed Mr. Lehmann to the high post of Solicitor j
General. The second signature was that of John W.
Davis, former Solicitor General, former Ambassador!
to Great Britain and former presidential nominee of the j
Democratic party.
Mr. Lehmann’s long and brilliant legal career was:
the indirect outgrowth of his fear of policemen as a boy.
Some of his sayings were: “A day is not lost be-j
cause no money has been made; it may have been turned I
to better account.”
“Be true to your client, the court and your own
conscience. Good faith in one of these relations is not
in conflict with good faith in the others.”
“No exigency of any law suit requires that you shall
abate one jot of perfect truth and absolute integrity.”
A SUBSCRIBER SAYS:
“The Weekly is a fine, newsy paper and we all like
it here—it’s quite up to date.” H. W. Nagley of Tal
keetna, Alaska, says that after reading the Weekly j
Gateway hurriedly, he sends them on to the Cache Creek!
boys. We are glad to have a subscriber create interest j
in our papers by forwarding them to others, and the!
“Cache Creek boys” no doubt appreciate Mr. Nagley’s ;
kindness also.
Now it’s the style for the ladies to wear- the kind
of a hat that Empress Eugenie did—a perky little bon
net with a small brim, shallow crown, audacious eye
dip, and an ostrich feather. The new style hat arrived
in Seward a few weeks ago and now every Tom, Dick
and Harry is vexed, feeling that women have again
entered the sacred precincts of what was hitherto a
man’s prerogative—wearing derbies.
The Farm Board suggests the destruction of one
third of the growing cotton crop, as a means for stab
ilizing prices. There was a time when a good crop of
anything meant prosperity. Now a short crop means
prosperity. Once an agency that wiped out a third of
any crop would have been considered a curse. At pres
ent it w*ould be a blessing. Times have changed, and
we are living in the midst of a complex civilization, the
worlrings of which no one seems to understand fully.
Explorers in Greenland find that the ice there is 8,000
feet deep. If the Greenlanders had to treat their best
crop as suggested by the Farm Board, they would have
something to do.
Fifteen thousand Dukhabors in Canada plan to mi
grate to Mexico owing to Canadian laws compelling them
to wear clothing. Alaska needs population, dressed or
undressed, and certainly, during the winter the Dukha
bors could not run around in the nude; and in the sum
mer, gnats and mosquitoes would probably make them
change their minds.

SUNDAY FOII ANDREW
IVERSON, SOURDOUGH
Under beautiful skies and amid
a profusion of wild Alaska flowers
and greens, the remains of Andrew
Iverson, pioneer resident of Sew
ard who passed away last week,
were laid to rest Sunday afternoon
in the Seward Cemetery.
At 2:30 o’clock the many friends
of the deceased, including practi
cally every oldtimer in the city,
gathered in the chapel of the Sew
arad Funeral Parlor to pay their
last respects to the departed. The
floral tributes of natural Alaskan
flowers were numerous and very
beautiful. Rev. Chas T. Hatten de
livered a splendid eulogy in which
he paid marked tribute and admir
ation to not only the departed but
to the spirit of the oldtimers left
behind.
Following the solemn ceremony
25 automobiles comprised the fun
eral cortage which wound its way
to the cemetery where last rites
were observed.
Pall bearers were C. M Brosius,
H. V. Hoben, T. W.Hawkins, Wayne
Blue, J S Hofman and Ed Craw
ford.
Fishing is reported to be ex
cellent at the Mile 6 bridge. The
trout are said to be “whoppers;”
ind the Silver salmon are all that
l person can handle at the end of
a gaff pole.
THE NASH ROAD BEARS
A bear and cub bear tracks are
reported to have been seen near
the end of the Nash road yester
day and hunters in that vicinity
immediately started tracking the
two down. However, they were
unsuccessful and the bears still
range in the area, eating berries,
stc.. and lolling in the wonderful
sunshine which bathes Resurrec
tion Valley many hours every day.
SPECIAL NOTICE
The first meeting of the Eastern
Star, after the long summer vaca
tion, will be held this evening at 8
