QUEEN OF ALASKA

HAPPY IDEA TO ALASKA
CHAMBERS
A plan to elect a __ “Queen ol
Commerce” from among the myr
iad of prettv lasses in Alaska has
been conceived by Mr'. Carl Millei
of Valdez who has called the at
tention of the Gateway and the
Seward Chamber of Commerce tc
a similar movement recently car
ried out to great success, and ad
vantage as an advertising medium
commercial bodies in the state of
Arkansts.
“So pleased with the wholesome
beauty of the little college Miss
selected, were the judges”, writes
Mr. Miller, “that it was decided to
imprint her likeness on all state
publicity matter, that the entire
United States might be given an
opportunity to admire the splen
did t”pe of American girls found
in Arkansas.” 9
While the peer of American
girls migh* be found in the Blue
Grass stat . Kentucky, in the
opinion of Mr. Miller, he is con
vinced that the Alaskan girl
would top them all, and urges that
‘hey be given a chance to symbol
ize Alaska as the Arkansas girl
does her proud state.
Why are Alaskan girls superior?
Mr. Miller says it is because Alas
kans live cleaner, and are health
ier than people in the states.
“Alaska, without all-night clubs,
cabarets, speak-easys or half-way
houses from which the non com
promising girls walk home in the
morning can well boast of the ros
ier and truer types of American
young womanhood. That the Al
askan girl would be called “oid
fashioned because she does not
neck and pet, or smoke and sit on
the lap of a shiek who has one
arm around her neck and in the
other a jug of synthetic gin," is
beyond the conjectures of Mr.
Miller. “The real American girl

The sad news was received in
; Seward yesterday from Ketchikan
that Mrs. Harry Selby, a bride of
but two years, had died Monday
morning at 11 a. m., from the ef
fects of childbirth. The baby, a
eight and one-half pound boy,
was said to be doing well. Mr.
Selby, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B.
Selby, former residents of Seward,
i Was a member of the local cable
I office staff but has been at the
Ketchikan office since his mar
riage.
is too dignified, well bred and edu
cated for that kind of pastime.
More to her liking is clean danc
ing, music, and singing. She likes
to be admired by clean young men
whom she invites to her home be
cause she loves her home and her
parents, and is always ready to be
h<T mothers right hand in the
kitchen or in performing house
jwork. She likes outdoor life such
| as horseback riding, hiking, hunt
ing, fishing and swimming. She
Us healthy and beautiful.
‘'These are the kind of girls
, found in Alaska, and the type
: whose likeness wc want to see ap
: near as our Queen of Commerce of
j Alaska, adorning our stationary
and our yearly calendar.”
The subject was of much favor
able comment at the chamber of
commerce luncheon yesterday and
it is believed the local organization
will readily assist in the adoption
and carrying out of Mr. Miller’s
suggestion.

NOTHING AUTHENTIC
Nothing authentic seems to be
known regarding the report Sgt.
Probasco, who was alleged to have
been taken mentally ill a tew
weeks ago and taken to Seattle,
had leaped from a third story
window of a Seattle hotel. One of
the reports brought up on the last
j steamer was to the effect he had
done this and broken all of his
ribs. Another report has it he died
from the jump or fall.
Mr3. J. O. Preston, well known
local resident who has been ill
for some weks, is up and about
again feeling greatly improved.
