ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED
A smiling healthy youngster enters and a tottering
old man leaves. Such is the allegorical description of the
passage of 1927 and the welcome of 1928.
But The Gateway, which gives service to the com
munity, proceeds along a different path of time. At
the threshold of another year we say farewell to 1927
and eagerly welcome 1928. And with all the enthusiasm^
with all the gladsome anticipation of a new adventure,
but tempered with the experience of past years, we ad
vance toward that goad of Good Will that transcends the
passing of time.
The Gateway extends to you, for this year and the
years to come, an overflowing measure of happiness.
It is estimated that 17,561 humorists have taken up
other means of livelihood since the arrival of the new
Ford car.
While out Christmas shopping Mr. Coolidge experi
swiriing tide-rips. Lights blotted out by the storm. Nar
street. He chose to run.
Many a person who is as pure as gold is also as
scarce.

MAJESTIC SETTING
FOR HISTORIC TILE
IN FOX MASTERPIECE
With the vast rugged valley of Jack
son Hole, Wyoming, serving as one
of the stages and the magnificent j
peaks of the Teton Range and the j
Shoehone Mountains for a back-i
ground, Fox Films screen production
of “3 Bad Men”, opens at the Liberty
theatre tonight.
The place once made famous by i
Teton Jackson, notorious outlaw and
horse thieffi and his gang of despera
does, after nearly 60 years, has at
last been filmed, and many of their
deeds! of daring re-enacted on the very
ground they once rode as masters.
“3 Bad Men” records that glamor
ous episode of American history, the
opening of the Dakotas to the white
man by free grants of land by the
government. Playing the title roles
of the strangely assorted trio, the
card sharp, the horse thief and the ■
desperado, ane Frank Campqfau, J.
Farrell MacDonald and Tom Santschi,
while the part of the youthful hero is
played by virile George O’Brien, j
Olive Borden enacts the role of the j
winsome orphan and protege of the j
terrorizing three. In addition to these !
well known stars, the cast includes
such screen favorites as Lou Tellegen, j
who plays the gambler; Jay Hunt, j
who starred in “Lightnin’,” in the
part of the old prospector; and Alec j
B. Francis, star of “Thank You”, who ]
I
plays the pioneer minister.
One of the most vivid and never- j
to-be-forgotten scenes is the rush for ij
the best of the virgin land, when at j
the roar of a signal cannon, 15,000 <
people, thousands of head of horses J
and oxen, as well as hundreds of j
vehicles of every description, from j
prairie schooners to bicycles, break j
out on the open plain in their mad ]
race for the unseen goal.
“3 Bad Men” was directed by John ■ <
Ford of "The Iron Horse” fame, and j
will add greatly to that young direct- ]
or’s laurels.
ANOTHER SPECIAL TRAIN 1
A passenger coach was sent to Sew
ard yesterday from Anchorage bring

EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTION
Without a doubt tell furs brought
into Seward Friday from the Kenai

162 silver fox pelts were purchased
on the river and about 150 others
bought in other districts on the pen
insula.

insane in Fairbanks last week, was
