THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The ASSOCIATED PRESS, of which this paper is a.
member, at all times requires accuracy in the transmit-;
ting of news and at anytime there is the least bit of doubt
members are forbidden to send it out as news matter. So,
on down the years, The Associated Press has come to be
known as the font of riliable information. Its authentici
ty is unquestoned. Some members of the (/P) have recent
ly violated this tradition. As the result all members were
sent the followng letter. The Gateway takes the liberty
of presenting it to its readers.
The letter:
To the staff:
Each member of our staff is adjured to follow our time-honored rules
to insure the accuracy of our news.
Flashes, bulletins, and dispatches must convey only such information
as is in the possession of the correspondent. When news comes to him from
a trusted source it may be flashed or bulletined when the source or author
ity is definitely stated. Remember always that where there is the slightest
reason for doubt, the source of authority for news is essential to the com
plete statement thereof. Unqualified rumors portending news of importance
must not be transmitted for publication but may be sent in a note for the
information of editors.
The foregoing sets-forth what has always been the rules in which there
certainly have been no change. Some members, of the staff have violated
these and permitted their zealousness for speed to sacrifice our traditional
aim for reliability.

The boom of artilery was heard in the early hours of
ths morning but ‘twas not a foreign naton bombarding
Seward but just a iew hunters who opened up on a bunch
of ducks at daybreak.
This is the time of the year when all thoughtful and
wise game, large and small, should hit for the tall timbers.
Nellie Neal scored a bulls-eye again- All the returning
excursionists yesterday had nothing but praise for the
treatment accorded them by this famous Alaskan hostess.
Further evidence of the enterprise of Paris divorce
lawyers is reported form London. It is said that they send
annoucements to newly wed couples, offering to secure
quick and noisless divorces at reasonable rates.
Now that the duck hunting season is open, Seward
golfers better watch their balls or they’ll take on the ap
pearance of Swiss cheese.
The halibut vessel Clara, Capt.
Stemlend, arrived in port yesterday
from the banks with 6,000 pounds.
