AN OBJECT LESSON
'‘Sailing Sheltered Seas to Alaska” is the title of a
new folder recently issued for distribution by the Alas
ka Steamship Company. It is not easy to compile and
publish a commercial prospectus that will harmonize in
every detail with the meritorious service of that pioneer
line and at the same time faithfully portray in words
and pictures the boundless, scenic grandeur of Alaskan
landscape which stands as a colossal monument to the I
cataclysmic forces that wracked her in early geologi-1
cal times. One is our unalterable and ancient heritage;
the other man’s contribution to science and human wel
fare. One is an instrument of public service; the other
a mysterious unit of the great cosmos.
Too often our aesthetic sense of beauty, space and
time is dulled by forces of circumstance and forgetful
ness creeps into our lives as we trundle down the path.
The Alaska Steamship Company’s beautiful folder ex
presses exquisitely our idea of constructive publicity. It
is not lengthy or complex* It is free from exaggeration,
, artificiality and embellishment. It brings home to us
more forceably than ever the vital need of an all-Alaska
publicity bureau organized and sustained by our Terri
torial government.
The Alaska Steamship Company has given us an
object lesson to be heeded by every thinking man and
woman.
As we peruse the pages of their beautiful folder we
find it hard to believe that our legislators sit idly by
and see Alaska shuffle along in the year 1931 like a crab
at a tempo set by the dead hand of government con
trol. If a shot in the arm will awaken us from our leth-1
argic sleep, lets have it.
Alaska needs an honest-to-goodness publicity bur- i
eau to supplement the valuable work of the Alaska
Steamship Company sister lines. We may despair at
times but we will continue to harp on the point until
we get it
There is no truth in the report that Anchorage is
petitioning Washington to have the William Henry Sew
ard Memorial and Museum built in that city instead of
Seward.
* ***********
Now if John W. Eddy, Seattle capitalist, who, last
year in company with Joshua Green, hunted big game
trophies in Africa for the University of Waslungton,
will come to Alaska and do likewise, the picture will be
complete.

Advertising in The Seward Gateway is not guar
anteed to sell your goods, but it will probably help if
they are up-to-date merchandise and something that
the people want to buy. Advertising will speed up sales
by reminding buyers: it will not, and should not, compel
anybody to buy what they do not want.

The Alaska Railroad has joined the ranks of the
gold diggers via the medium of raising rates. There are
gold diggers and “gold diggers,” if you get what we mean.
The first “insects” of summer have arrived, “golf
bugs.”

The papers report that an otter tunnelled under a
dam, waited until the water ran out, and then picked
up the fish from the mud. The sagacity of wild creat
ures often is unknown or overlooked by people.

Trade at home is more than a motto. Regardless of
cynical smiles it is the right policy.

PURPLE BUBBLE BILL
NIPPY 1N0 SUCCESSFUL
LOCAL DUNCE IFFIIR
Sewardites frollicked, rollicked,
and otherwise made merry at the
long anticipated Purple Bubble
Ball given by the local Bills’
Club, B. P. O- E., Saturday night.
Under a sea of purple bubbles
floating over their heads in the
gorgeously decorated ball room,
dancers wafted, whirled, swung
their partners in waltzes, fox
trots, Rhinelanders, Three Steps
and many specialty numbers.
The Jolly Three orchestra out
performed themselves, rendering
syncopating strains until early
hours in the morning,
j The Ball, readily classed as one
of the most enjoyable social af
j fairs held in the city in many
months, was declared a success
from every standpoint. Immense
ly impressive were the numerous
pretty gowns worn by the ladies,
which caused the occasion to riv
al Easter Sunday in this respect.
Greatly enjoyed by the large
attendance were the special danc
es pleasingly intermingled thru
out the dancing progVam by Floor
Manager William Abbott.
One of the features, a pretty
Rye Waltz, revealed that at least (
two couples, Mrs. Tolbom and L*
Urbach, and Miss Maude Larsson
and Raymond Manthey, are cap- j
able of rendering the exquisite
steps interpreting this quaint but |
popular dance.
The Seward Elks’, especially the j
committee who handled the Ball, !
are to be congratulated. Come 1
again, Bills! . I
FROM OUT THE WEST
H. N- Evans, well known West
ward business man with trading !
posts from Kanatak all the way I
across the Alaska Peninsula, was |
an arrival last night on the SS I
Starr. Mr. Evans, former prom- |
inent business man of Anchorage, §
appears to be in his usual good |
health and wears the same old
smile of good fellowship. fl
THE WAR RAGES ON
i
WASHINGTON, April 20, (A1)—
Prohibition enforcement clamped
down along the Atlantic sea
broad front of the Atlantic sea_
board. Five speedboats were seiz
ed in New York, and three small
rum runners were sunk in a run
ning battle off Providence, Rhode
Island, and a radio station used to
guide nun boats past the Coast
Guard at New Orleans was raided
and destroyed.
r
It is reported that a number
of recent arrivals from the States
endeavored to beat their way out
on recent northbound trains but
had no luck. The Gateway wishes
them better luck next time
"FER GOODNESS SAKE!”
A few of the local boys are
working their way to Seattle and
while enroute will paint the Starr
gray. And when they get to
Seattle they will paint the town
red*
