A LONG LIST OF ELIGIBLES
Seward has a number of handsome bachelors who
are well fixed in this world’s goods, and with the laige
number of women writing to this paper inquiring 101
soulmates, it is a crying shame that a moratorium cannot
be declared and a man take a dozen wives 01 so, until
their longing for Alaska has subsided.
While the letters of many of these inquirers indicate
high blood pressure and an ardent desire to rush into
matrimony without proper qualifications, there mig
be one or two in the bunch who could swing a mean axe
or shake a nasty snowshovel in case of necessity. A wile
used to be a helpmate, a woman who did four-tilths ol
the work, and put the rest of her time in rasing kids
and poultry, and looking after the fires. Civilization
has not improved the modern woman, who wants hei
breakfast in bed and a thousand dollar income. In case
our correspondents believe they can fill the bill and aie
willing to take a sourdough for better or worse, (mostly
worse), we have a choice matrimonial list of eligible
bachelors, guaranteed to bathe regular and change clothes
at least once every six months, which will be mailed for a
postage stamp. The Gateway, however, desires it under
stood that it is not responsible for damage, nor does it
guarantee property or title. We deliver the goods on the
principle of caveat emptor.
The National Recovery Administration’s huge re
covery program began in earnest today throughout the
nation and all industries which have expressed willing
ness to cooperate with the President in the drive to take
men out of breadlines and increase the nation’s purchas
ing power were to begin compliance with the provisions
of their respective codes if they had not already done so.
Up to this date the principle efforts of the administra
tion have been toward lining up big business and obtain
ing their compliance but it is expected that from now on
more attention will be given smaller business and con
sumers.
Silver should be brought to
the aid of gold. People ex
pect it. A sustained return
of confidence to currency
cannot be obtained in any
other way.

The Roosevelt Administra
tion is trying to figure ont
ways and means to help the
gold miner. Throwing gold
on the open market will help
thousands of mines in the
West and Alaska, overnight.

Neighborliness is the predomin
ate characteristic of the Moose
Pass-Hope-Sunrise district, where,
in the not too distant future, a
great stream of virgin gold will
flow into world marts.
The world is the geologist’s
greatest jigsaw puzzle. He
stands before it like a child
to whom the separate pieces
remain a mystery till he de
tects their relations and sees
where they fit, and then his
fragments grow at once in
to a connected picture be
neath his hand.
