Seward Gateway.

The fourth number of the Seward Gateway, dated Sept. 9, was re- cei1ed in Rampant by Herman Schweitzer last week. The paper is principally devoted to description of the country and resources to be developed by building the Alaska Central railroad.
 "A serious drawback heretofore to practical work both on railway construction and other improve ments," says the Gateway, "has been the high price of feed for teams, amounting to nearly SIPS per day for hay and oats. This statement is calculated to provoke a smile on the Yukon, where such a lrice would be considered almost finding it. v
 As matter of record, the paper says, the thermometer there has never gone as low as zero any win ter since 1898.

MR. CHILSON'S SERMON
 ABOUT NATIVES.

 T1e remarks were pretaced by d quotation from Lord Salisbury, "A man who uses half measure $ Is no man.
 "If people would condemn faults, let them first free themselves from the same faults" said MT. Chilson in connection with the whisky babit.
 "A woman who is good enough to live with is good enough to marry" This was said ill connec tion with those known as "squaw men.
 Abiding to the native dances, MT. Chilson said: The idea IS preposterous that because wo- man' skin Is a little darker than another's it is infamous and causes people to raise their hands i'll holy horror for her to dance.
 "If one has no better way of handling a question he should not critici e. Honest criticism is wei coned by any man, but criticism that condemns without showing a better way Is only meddlesome fault finding and hindrance to any progress toward the better ment of a race, a community or a nation; and those who indulge such can thank themselves for re- tarding the growth-slow at best t- of the betterment of community's $ morals.
 "Co-operation is essential to sue cess in any line, and those who cannot co operate had much better mind their own business.
 As there are but four licensed liquor houses in town it would take but little cooperation to stop the selling of liquor to natives; but still better will 1t be when the na- lives understand that the white mans habits and vices only eat out the life of their tribe and degrade their whole existence.
