ALASKA’S CLIMATE
Compare the temperature and the climatic condi- j
lions in the parts of Aalska along the railroad belt from
Seward to Fairbanks, month by month the year thru,
with that in the northern states in continental United
States and the results will give anyone a thrill of sur
prise. No torrid heat and sun strokes up here; no floods,
tornadoes or unexpected early frosts.
As climate goes the world over, there are few parts
that offer better conditions all the year through than
the Westward area, Kenai Peninsula, the Susitna Val
ley, and the wide expanse of the Tanana basin.
Alaska climate is unexcelled; it builds up robust
health. The hardiest specimens of the human race thrive
in the climate of these northern zones that are temper
ed by the moderating influences of the ocean currents.
Some member of the United States Army in Alaska
should take time off and send army news to “Recruit
ing News, War Department publication. The Gateway is
on the mailing list but seldom has seen army activities
in Alaska described therein. A lot of fine publicity is
being lost; other branches of the Army would appre
ciate learning how Uncle Sam’s huskies are carving a
niche in the upbuilding of the last frontier.

Six new subscriptions to The Gateway came in on
the last steamer from the Westward. It is said five
times more Gateways than all other papers COMBINED,
go West in the mails. The Gateway now has the largest
circulation north or west of Juneau.
ALASKA FRUITS
Natives of Norway and Sweden who live in Seward
and along the railroad belt have for years telling other
residents that apples, pears, cherries and peaches can
be grown in this area of Alaska. They cit the fact that
these fruits are grown successfully in the Scandinavian
countries for centuries, where climatic conditions are
similar to the climatic conditions in the corresponding
latitudes of Alaska.
It is now known everywhere, almost, that Alaska
grows garden vegetables the equal in quality and quan
tity per acre of the best sections of Washington, Ore
gon and California. Also its possibilities as a grain
growing region on a large scale are fast coming to be
realized.
Alaskans should feel proud they are living in a sec
tion of the United States which is almost entirely free
of such daily crimes as we read occuring Outside.

From the looks of the new summer dresses now
adorning the dear gals and ‘mamas/ it seems that no
longer will $5.95 of a pair of $6 silk stocking be visible.
************
An Interior resident asserts that the earth is shap
ed like a dumb-bell. In other words, he believes it was
made in his own image.
************
Gold may be the root of all evil but there are many
Alaskan miners and prospectors who would like to dig
up a few roots.

Mr. Legge can doubtless testify to the satisfaction
of obtaining relief from the Farm Board.

“I shall always remember Seward,” exclaimed an
irate chap the other day, as he stepped out of jail.

FIVE INDICTED FOR
FAILURE DF SEATTLE
LOAN ASSOCIATION
___ i
FORMER PRESIDENT LINDEN
AMONG THOSE NAMED
IN REPORT
SEATTLE, May 4. (A1) — The
Grand Jury indicted five in con
nection with the failure of the
Puget Sound Savngs and Loan As
sociation.
Superior Judge Ronald, who re
ceived the jury’s report, issued
bench-warrants and ordered the
j men taken into custody. It was
! announced that Linden, former
! president of the association, was i
among those indicted charged with
'grand larceny.
j The five indictments were for
E. W. Campbell, who succeeded
i Linden, charged with grand lar
ceny on three counts; W. D.
Comer, president when the bank
closed in February and who is ac
cused of making a false statement
of assets; W. L. Nicely, former
state supervisor of savings and
J loan associations, charged with
grand larceny under two counts;
Carl . Nelson, former secretary,
charged with grand larceny.
Bail for each defendant, except
Linden, was set at $5,000.
Judge Ronald said Linden’s bail
will be increased above $5,000 if ’
the prosecutor so desired.
The report read: “During the
1928 gubernatorial campaign and
while Linden was president of the
association, he was also operating
a radio service apparently for a
political consideration. The in
fluence of the state department
supervising loan associations should
have acted for protection of share
holders; it appeared the radio
service was furnished free and
used by the governor.”
Local duck hunters have been
casting longing eyes skyward the
last two days by reason of the .
large number of ducks heading
for the feeding and nesting
grounds after a winter’s sojourn
in the warmer southlands.
KNEES OF YOUNG
KILLED SUCKLE US
STEEL DGGRS CLING
SAN QUENTIN, Cal., May 4. (/P)
—A dazed young man stumbled
through the forbidding portals of
San Quentin with the fear of
death at last stamped on his pal
lid face.
He was Charles A. Simpson, 18
year-old torch slayer of the kind
ly 73-year-old Albina Voorhis, sen
tenced to die July 10.
With the lids of his eyes
clamped tightly shut against the
shadow of the noose, his knees
buckling under him, and his hands
shaking like a palsy wreck of age, |
the “tough kid of the beach’* all
but collapsed as the steel doors
clanged behind him.
