COMMENDABLE ACTION
“ A ny kid caught licking a dog is going to get smacked/’
** That’s the way, plenty “young defenders’’ in New
York feel toward anyone who is unkind to animals It’s
the chip on the shoulders, by those who have sworn al
legiance in defense of sick, maimed, or defenseless dogs.
Here in Seward a situation has arisen relative to the
number of dogs which have been poisoned in the past two
years, most of recent date. The City of Seward now offers
a reward of close to $600 for the apprehension and con
viction of the culprit or parties responsible.
There are some who will say the spur of a reward
should not be the urge to catch the poisoner; that it is the
duty of a citizen to report to officials their suspicions.
Right or right, the price on the party’s head cannot
be too large, for sooner or later the poisoned meat which
is being scattered about, might claim the life of a human
being—a loved one—that which no amount of money can
bring back, but which money may prevent.
Come on now, let’s see some action. Get this guy!
THERE’S DIRTY WORK ABROAD !
Further unfair tactics, discriminating against Seward
* to Anchorage’s benefit, orginating with the Transpor
tation Department of the Alaska Railroad, is called to the
Gateway’s attention today with the report the railroad
will convey the majoriy of section crews on the southern
division, to Anchorage on July 4th. But, as we said yes
terday, Seward does not expect a square deal from this
man Cunningham. But we would have liked to have had,
some of these men enjoy the Fourth with us; and not from
a monetary standpoint, either.
They might as well have called it the Democratic
national contention, judging from the today’s reports.
After November 6, everybody, including the farmer,
will get some relief.
TOM MOUNT FIVE
SEAL CASE SUITS
TOTALS $300,000
The sealing claims, taken as a
whole, involve claims by owners oil
se.l l.unilng vessels on account of ex-'
elusion from nunting seal in Bering
Sea during the period of 1886 to 1893.
In a few cases the seal hunters
claimed to be otter hunters as well.
In these cases the damages claimed j
are for loss of a fair average catch !
of sea otter as well as seal, in Bering ;
Sea during certain years. Sea otter
were far more scarce and more diffi-'
cult to hunt than seal even in those
day?.
The evidence being taken this sum
mer relate to sea otter hunting; the
regions, and the months during which
otter might be successfully caught
There are five suits in which these J
claims are involved. The largest sin
gle claimant was H. Liebes and Co
of San Francisco. The total amount
involved in five suits is approximate
ly $300,000. Testimony was taken at
different places to the Westward,
namely, Anchorage, Kodiak, False
Pass, Sanak, Unalaska, King Coce
and nere in Seward.
Ti e claimants, as has previously
bQen stated, were represented by H. J
II. North of San Francisco; the Quit. j

ed States was represented by Miss :
Esther B. Phillips, Assistant United
Starts Attorney of San Francisco,
