WILL COMPETE WITH THE RAILROAD
Through Seward last week went an Alaskan bus
iness man enroute to Fairbanks, there to make ar
rangements with Interior people for hauling freight,
by motor trucks, from Valdez to Fairbanks.
It is understood the rate charge will be the same
as that now in effect over the Alaska Railroad but
with a two-day saving in time.
Thus is answered the proposed rate increase, ef
fective next month, over the government owned rail
road which brilliant idea was propounded by last sum
mer's Senate investigating committee which believes
it has solved in a few weeks, the annual deficit of the
line. Though the Richardson Highway can be used for
only three months of each year, yet it is confidently be
lieved the freight traffic will pay.
Any group of railroad employees could have en
lightened the solons how to overcome most of the diffi
culties attached to the railroad deficit but not a single
one, from the rank and file, were asked to testify; only
heads of departments. It will be interesting to note
what the outcome of the “scintillating" plans of the
committee will be,
LARGER VESSEL APPRECIATED
The Seattle Times says it is expected Seattle ship
yards will build the successor to the Boxer, veteran
ship of Alaskan waters, which has done chores for the
Department of the Interior and other government ser
vices in connection with her regular duties under the
Bureau of Education.
Senator Jones of Washington succeeded in annex
ing to the first deficiency bill an appropriation of $400,
000 to build a new vessel, which will be of not less
than 1,300 tons. It will be a sturdy vessel and construct
ion will require about six months, employing about 250
men.
The people of this district of Alaska, and The Gate
way, have long been strong advocates for a new and
larger vessel for Westward and Arctic waters where,
annually, thousands, in the far-flung out-lands, are
served. It is a source of great satisfaction to know the
government has recognized the need of a better ship.
Doctor Einstein’s wife told reporters prior to
leaving New York the other day for Europe that in
Germany newspapers let her live in absolute peace
and quiet, but closed the interview by stating, in
substances, that public discussion is a rare privilege
for the housewife. Until human nature changes, it will
never be quite free from the harmless vanity that se
cretly welcomes a dignified entrance into the newspa
per column.
So! Mr. Snowden, English Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, does not like his country’s plan for settling
American war debts, and states that posterity will
curse tnose who were responsible. If there was any
British cursing when the Yankee pocket book was
opened, it was done in a low breath, and inaudibly.
A tip for timid business men is given by Publisher
Curtis of the Saturday Evening Post, who spent a mil
lion dollars for advertising last year and will spend
double that amount this year. He says: “In a period of
depression we must run as fast as we can to stay where
we are.”
Now^ that Congress has adjourned the columnists
will have to work hard. While in session it was easy to
daily concoct squibs to fill this column. Not so now.
Guess we’ll have to pick on the Alaska legislature.
That new compass which points to diamonds and
gold should be helpful to night club ladies.

Bobby Jones, champion golfer;
of the universe, is hereby warned i
to keep a lookout on his num- i
erous laurels for here in Seward i
j a young star is developing who j
i some day may be playing in nat- |
i ional tournaments- Introducing
Billy Fairweather, son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. A. Fairweather.
j Yesterday, he made No. 15
i green in one, on the Marathon
j indoor golf green, a shot which
I only one other todate has equal
ied.'This is the green with a dia
; mond hazard in the center which
j is frequently made in two but
! more often in three strokes. Un
! less one has an eye like an eagle,
i he will invariably miss the small
; trough leading through; Billy,
j apparently, has such a keen eye
j for, after careful aim and proper
I stance, wham, away she went
I and kerplunk into the cup.
| Spectators congratulated the
j little man for his daring to at
' tempt through the one-way
i shot and upon his accuracy
| His total strokes for the 18
holes was 57.
