BRIGHT RIFT IN THE HORIZON
The entrance of William Dunkle into the Moose Pass
quartz district is one of the brightest augeries for imme
diate solution of economic problems in this portion of the
Territory.
Mr. Dunkle is ultra-conservative in mining opera
tions and the fact that he believes Moose Pass offers pos
sibilities for productive mines answers a moot question.
It should encourage others to enter the field.
Moose Pass occupies the same status as Willow Creek
before Mr. Dunkle entered it and made a mine, now em
ploying more than 100 men. Doubting Thomases shook
their heads and in the absence of such knowledge as is
possessed by Mr. Dunkle, were content to discourage in
vestors and prospectors.
One big mine in Moose Pass will go farther toward
solving the economic problems of this section than. all the
emergency money that might be allotted by Washington.
If there is one man who can develop this mine it is
W. E. Dunkle. His record covers a long list of successful
achievements. It is a pleasure to wish him every success
and extend the appreciation of Seward for his entry into
this exceptionally promising field, with its abundant
rich lodes.
100 PER CENT DEMOCRAT APPOINTED
In the announcement that C. J. Todd of Valdez has
been appointed by President Roosevelt as United States
Marshal for this judicial division of Alaska, his many
friends as well as the Democratic party's divisional unit
will rejoice. Among the first to congratulate Marshal
Todd were P. C. McMullen, local chairman of the Demo
organization, and Hon. J. S. Hofman, secretary. Both
dispatched telegrams yesterday to the new official.
Marshal Todd was the party choice at the divisional
caucus. When some doubt was expressed as to his ap
pointment, other names were sent to Washington. Now
that the party choice has been named to the office, har
mony again reigns; all is peaceful. Marshal Todd will j
r.iake a fine officer, it is conceded by all.
Congress expects to recognize Soviet Russia in De
cember. Provided they can see it thru the whiskers.
From the looks of things the striking coal miners are
making it so hot that neither the diamond diggers or the
coal barons will need much coal this winter.
If they can’t do anything else with Huey Long they
might send him up here to Alaska. At least we would not
be bored by a long winter.
Many men seek fortune in order to be independent;
they should rather seek character, the only true source
of independence.
During the past summer we sent a quarter of a mil
lion men into the woods to get them out of the woods.
No, Hortense, curtailing does not necessarily mean
dogging it. __

SCHOOL NOTES
(SEWARD’S FOLLY)
SEVERAL GRADS
ARE CONTINUING
SCHOOL WORK
In a time period of less than a
half year the Seward High School
graduates of 1932-33 have literal
ly scattered to the “four comers
of the world.”
Doris Sullivan, valedictorian of
last year’s graduating class, spent
the summer at Anchorage, then
left for San Francisco. She will
continue her studies at Williamette
University.
Dorothy Fairman, salutatorian,
remained at her home in Seward
throughout the summer and may
continue her studies at a later
date.
Edwin Sandbeck, who edited the
Seward’s Folly during his last two
years in school, continued his work
as associate editor of The Gateway
until September. Edwin has big
plans for an Alumni basketball
team this year and high school
students who thrilled at his “skip
pering” of the Ponies for two sea
sons may see this bronc-riding
chap in action often this year.
Lois Jessen remained in Seward
most of the summer, commuting
to Moose Pass occassionally. She
i is not certain whether she will
continue her present •- scholastic
studies or enter the University of
California. .,
Andy‘Peterson, who played on
the Seward High School basketball
team, has enrolled in the Alaska
College and will major in chemis
try.
Annie Golly remained in Seward
throughout the summer and is
staying at the Jesse Lee Home.
Charles Lange, a pillar of the
High School basketball squad for
two seasons, has tak$n*up a home
stead at Homer. Charles is the first
of Seward High's Alumni to take
advantage of Alaska’s farm pos
sibilities, and every wish for his
success is extended him. His suc
cess may mean much to Alaska
and Alaska’s youth.
