BEING CONFERENCE HEIIE
Seward is not only situated right geographically
for the conference of the Home Missions Council which
is being called for next August, but at the same time the
gorgeous summer sun will bathe our mountains in all
their beauty and the humming birds will be gathering
honey from flowered fields. In August' when the States
are panting in gasping heat, we up here will be getting
a real summer that is not too hot or too cold. It will be
just light
Of course the conferees are coming for solemn
business discussion but nevertheless the leaping trout
in the streams will not have heard of it. Those visitors
from the States who will come to discuss ecclesiastical
affairs and the furtherence of mission work in the Ter
ritory, may well find a few hours from assembly dis
cussion to wander in sylvan beauty, the like of which
is not vouchsafed elsewhere on the globe.
Furthermore, it would seem, in all justice to the
vast spread of Alaska that a central point be selected
for the conference that delegates from the various mis
sions to be represented at the council have as little
traveling to do as possible. With its Jesse Lee Home,
Seward has one of the biggest missions in Alaska. The
Council has never honored us with a visit. We believe it
fitting that they select this city for one big conference
next summer, and we can assure them a welcome in
which there will be no disappointments.

BIG NEWS OF 1930
Recently Kent Cooper, head of the Associated
Press, selected what he considered the ten biggest news
stories of 1930. We pass them along so that Gateway
readers may see how his judgement compares with
theirs.
These are not intended to represent necessarily
the most important happenings of the year, although
most of them are of first importance, but the stories
which were the most dramatic, exciting, or otherwise
filled with human interest. Here are the selections:
Finding of the bodies of Andree and his balloon
companions in the Arctic after 33 years.
Coste and Bellonte’s westward flight across the At
lantic, Paris to New York.
Crash of the British dirigible R-101, with a loss of
48 lives.
Incendiary fire in the Ohio penitentiary at Colum
bus, causing the death of 318 convicts.
The usprecedented drought in the United States.
Treaties resulting from the London naval confab.
Adoption of the Young plan for settlement of war
reparations.
Gandhi revolt in India.
Return of Prince Carol to be King of Rumania.
Birth of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.
Laughter is the prerogative of youth, but fear is
the instinct of age.
We knew it was anthracite they wanted all the
time. The harder the times the harder the coal neces
sary to fix things right.
The day will yet come when Uncle Sam will call in
sea-faring men as well as railroaders to the conference
when they try to figure out proper docking facilities
for the Seward terminal of the Alaska Railroad.
* * t- -.i;********
From the financial aspect summer has arrived four
months earlier in Seward, for already work has begun
that on the breakwater. From this time forward new
work, such as pile-driving on the Seward dock will pro
gress, winding up in a blaze of glory next fall.

The evil one does two by two, he answers for one
by one.

Owing to further suspicious cir
| cumstances that have come tor
Slight in connection v/ith the burn
ing of two men in a cabin at j
Kenai during the holidays, it is i
possible that the Department oi
Justice will authorize the sending
! of the bodies to Anchorage for
; autopsy. District Attorney W. N. j
Cuddy, who flew to Kenai from j
Anchor? ge and who has just gone j
; south on the Alameda, • has wired
I for permission to send a plane
| to Kenai to get the badly char
red remains.
Assistant District Attorney E. j
P. Harwood in Seward stated that (
I Cuddy found evidence of a pos-,
i sible bullet would beneath the |
heart in one torso and that the j
back of the head of the other man j
had been crushed. There are |
other suspicious circumstances j
which lead the authorities to be
lieve that further investigation is
advisable.
ONE BUFFALO LOST
So far as known the first cas
ualty among *the buffaloes in
the Tanana Valley in well over
a year occurred recently north of
Fairbanks, when a cow was found
in the ice of one of the Delta
sloughs, says the News-Miner. She
is thought to have gotten down
on the glare ice and couldn’t
get up. So far as known all the
other animals brought in from
Canada two years ago are still
alive. A few days ago, Carl Ahl
strom, trapper counter a herd of
24. nine of which were calves and
all in good condition.

TRAIN MOVEMENTS
The rotary is working out of
i Anchorage today, according to re
ports at railroad headquarters
here, breaking a way thru the
heavy snow that has been mixed
with rain along the line. Around
Mile 49 the fall of the last
storm has been heavy and the
nature of the snow makes it dif
. ficult to handle. There is a pos
sibility that a mixed freight may
come in tomorrow to pick up ton
| nage from the Admiral Farragut,
but it is doubtful. They are as
sembling piling and other mater
ial at Anchorage for the Seward
breakwater and the next train
! in may be held until this load is
assembled.
MASONS TO MEET
' Regular meeting tonight of
■ ^the Seward Masonic Lodge; work
in the First Degree. All members
and out-of-town members are
