SEWARD AIR POSSIBILITIES
There are very few people who know that the dif
ference in flying between Seward and Fairbanks to
Nome is about 30 minutes. Seward is about 50 mlies
further from Nome, in an air-line, than Fairbanks.
Measure it up on the map for yourself
It seems odd therefore that airways companies
will compel people to go to the added expense and loss
of time in reaching Fairbanks by train when they
could take them from here and shoot them across to
Seward Peninsula in a difference in time of 30 minutes
■instead of a oss of two or three days and perhaps more.
Seward has a good field and bay landing. Flying
conditions are not onerous. Statistics prove this asser
tion. We are eight miles from the sea proper and fog
conditions are very seldom difficult; no more than any
other port on or near the Pacific Coast.
In addition, Seward is handy to the Iliamna coun
try, Bristol Bay and the route to Unalaska and Asia.
There seems to be every reason why Seward
should be a very active air base. Ernest Walker Saw
yer’s recommendation that a military air squadron
should be stationed here as well as Fairbanks, seems
to be founded on careful consideration of the possibil
ities and seems to have much merit.

WANT BONI S CASHED
Although ths American Legion is officially opposed
to the plan, many former soldiers who hold bonus cer
tificates arc asking that the government, as an aid in
tiding them over the present period of unemployment
pay these certificates now. ’
The law by which the certificates were issued pro- <
vides that a small portion of the face value may now 1
be obtained as a loan, but this involves quite a bit of :
the well known red tape. In spite of this, about a mil- (
lion and a half veterans have obtained these small loans i1
aggregating some 275 million dollars. jj
Even if a law were passed to permit those who L
desired to cash their certificates now, others would j
not be forced to do so, and all who wished could retain
them under the terms now in effect. *
Inasmuch as all veterans are presumably old j5
enough to know what they want, it seems that those j
who need and want the smaller, amount now should be ;
allowed to have it. s t

GIVE THE BOYS A HAND
Personally, we feel that the Seward Chamber of t
Commerce is accomplishing a vast deal a good for the 1
city and section and merits the support of every citi- j|
zen. Business men and citizens generally, who do not c
belong to the chamber and share in their “get-togeth- ic
er” luncheons, are not fulfilling their civic obligations, jj;
And to go a little further we feel that The Gateway \
has been the most consistent backer of the Chamber c
of Commerce in everything it has initiated for the |
good of the city and district and than we too, merit a
iittle flutter of applause, as well as more substantial [l
encouragement of advertising support. jo

A 14 year-old boy breaks out of prison and makes {.
good his threat to rob a specified house the second r,
tune. Another lad of the same age is being tried for a
first degree murder. A few days ago three youngsters ; a
attempted to extract $10,000 from a doctor; one was ■
killed, the other two captured. They wanted the mon- j
ey for a good time. All of which proves that the boys «
were bad citizens; but what is to be said of a civiliza- 1
lion that has nothing better than the chill of the com- *
mon jail, and the shadow of the scaffold, to work cor- ]
recti oil m 14 year-old youngsters?
C. E. WF.ISSTNGER OF SEWARD
FORCE WILL RE IN FULL
CHARGE STATION
After treking and flying over
I most of Alaska, during which he
|has installed new equipment in;
many plants of the U. S. Army!
| Signal Corps as well as carrying
[ on a long investigation of inter- :
ference at Fairbanks, William J.
Wagner, radio electrician expert
and civil service member of the
Signal Corps will leave for West
ward on the next sailing of the
Admiral Farragut for Kodiak j
where he will install a new sta- j
tion for the service at that place.
He arrived Tuesday from An- ;
chorage, accompanied by Mrs.!
Wagner, who met him at Fair
banks and who will go to Ko
diak with him.
The new Kodiak station which
will be the former Agricultural
experiment station on the out
skirts of the town, will be equip
ped with 90-foot masts and a j
750 watt power plant. The equip
ment is now here and will go
forward on the Farragut. It will
take about a month to install.
C. E. Weissinger, who has been
with the local force for some
time will have charge of the
new station assisted by two new
men who are coming from the
States. This station will super
cede the present naval radio
station on Wood Island, about
two miles from Kodiak town,
which will probably be abandon
ed, it is said, in line with the ’
new policy of the navy to turn
over all commercial business to
the army.
