.: (: {: < * < * (: [: * @ |: GATEWAY HAS HAD
 * PROSPEROUS MONTH.

On this, the last day of the month, the Gateway is tempted to publish the fact that it has been the most prosper ous month of it's career. For this, of course, the people of Seward and the great surrounding country alone are to De thanked. It speaks volumes for the confidence of the people that the advertising and the circulation of the Gateway have increased since the first day of September. There may be times when for some trival reason or another the Gateway might have not been able to satisfy friendly individ- uals but the general public seems to understand that a paper is bound to have some differences with someone, and the general public has remained the Gateway's friends. This is and ought to be a source of pride to the paper.

 SAWMILL MACHINERY
Will Install a Complete Plant at His Home at Six Mile, Wood

Mir. J. D. Johnston, of Woodrow Park, at Six Mile, states that he has purchased that portion of the mach inery remaining at the saw mill at the head of Resurrection Bay, consist ing of a crosscut saw, log carriage, etc, etc, and will proceed this winter to install complete plant at Six Mile. The balance of the machinery requir- ed will come from the outside in time for the plant to be in operation as early in the spring as water is avail able for power purposes. The mill IS to be located just below "hole 10" on Bear Creek, a point we'll known to Seward sportsmen for trout and salmon. The name of the new enter prise will be the Johnston Saw Mill Co.

By the building of town some distance out the government railroad at a point on that railroad nearest to Willow creek the mines would be brought some twelve miles nearer to base os supplies-that is to town. This town also would be in splendid agricultural district and the probabil- ity is that the new million dollar com pany figures on the establishment of such town as the immensely fine prospects in the Willow creelScountry at present promises that town as near those mines as possible will be advisable. Oldtimers here became convinced on reading the cabled story in yesterdays Gateway that some i'm portant developments will result.

Eugene Bartholf have been up in that country this summer and since they returned to Seattle they have made a deal with Ellsworth buying the prop erty and giving a cash payment of thirty thousand dollars, according to the cable received by Mir. Leehey yesterday just after the cable receiv- ed by the Gateway telling of the formation of the new company. The new company will also take over some properties in the Talkeetna region and most likely it takes its name from
 that fact. As to the intention of the company to build a town on the gov ernment railroad Mir. Leehey knows nothing. It was stated in the Gate way cable that the properties adjoin- ed the William Martin property on Willow creek but it is some little dis

More About Insane
 Asylum at Seward
Government Department Tells How
 Matters Stand at Present.

The government, having been noti- fed that Seward is making a bid for the establishment of the lunatic asylum for Alaskans here, has sent a communication telling how matters stand n relation to the proposal. Ac- cording 70 this communication a con tract has been made for care of the Alaskan insane with the Morningside Asylum authorities for five years and three or four years of this period yet remain but the contract is such that it can be revoked by the government at any time. The government regula- tion as to location only says that the asylum must be west of the Rocky mountains" As far as can be seen there is no insumountable difficulty in the way of getting the asylum for Seward unless the carelessness of the people of Seward themselves.

GOES TO INSTALL LIGHTS
 AT ANCHORAGE CITY

Roy Anderson will leave on the Alameda or overland for Anchorage where he will install several acetylene light systems for lighting purposes. He says that from what he can hear there are no lights over at Anchorage except the coal oil lamps. After the installation of one or two acetylene plants demonstrating the light giv- ing power of the gas, as we'll as the ease with which it is operated and cared for, he expects to receive many orders for the installation of such plants before winter. As there is no electric light plant at Anchorage such systems of giving light will no doubt be very acceptable.

DEPTH OF SEWARD BAY
 AND HEIGHT OF HILLS

The highest mountain in sight around Seward is the second peak back north of Lowell creek, some times called the glacier stream. That peak is 4,62O feet high. The peak in front of it, that is the one to which the Marathon was run on the Fourth of July, is 2,942 feet. The peak nearest the city south of Lowell creek is 2, ,76O feet high and the peak inn mediately to the back of it is 4,43O it.. The glacier seen directly across the bay from the city is named Excelsior glacier on the government chart. The mountain seen to the north of it is g. $50 feet high, and the mountain to the south of it is 3,6SO feet. The nearest island seen at the mouth of the bay is called Renard island on the chart. It is, as stated before, l,55S fee, high. The next island is called Hive island and has a height of 1,O70 feet. The third island is called Rug ged island and has an elevation of 1 .4SS feet.

DANCE GIVEN LAST NIGHT
 FOR EXPLORER OFFICERS

A dance was given last night in the new A. B. Hall complimentary to the officers of the c. & c. S. steamer Ex- plorer. About 25 couples were pres ent at the dance. Punch was served. Music was furnished by Mrs. Mabel Lynn and Miss Una North was at the piano, Mir. Davidson, of the Explorer, at the violin and Virgil Rich at the drums. No mention was made of the dance in the paper yesterday as the sailing of the Explorer was not cer- tain. It was thought she might leave before morning.

The deepest part of Resurrection Bay, according to the government charts with the Engineering commis- sion, is l6l fathoms, or just about two thirds as deep as the island at the mouth of the bay is high. The isl and's highest peak is 1.55S feet. Looking across the bay from Seward to Fourth of July creek the deepest place is S4 fathoms. This point is about two thirds of the way across. Taking a line across the bay half way between the city and Lowell Point, or Naval Point, you meet a depth of lO5 fathoms right in the middle. At the dock there is a depth of about 60 feet but it drops off suddenly to depth of more than hundred fatAoms. Right in the center of the bay some distance beyond Lowell Point there is an invisible island, if one could call it so. It comes up to within 15 fathoms of the surface of the water.

New ROundhOuse
 Nears Completion
Equipment So Fine That Even Cars
 Can be Built Here.

The roundhouse, which has been under construction for a month or five weeks, is nearing completion and will be one of the largest shops in Seward. It's exterem length is 140 feet with an extreme width of 40 feet, giving it a floor space of about D square feet. The roof and side walls will be in place by Saturday night, says F. A. Hancock, who has the matter in charge and who has 21 men on the job today.
 One of the advantages of this build ing over the old round house is that the roof is supported by heavy truss building that will permit the use of a travelling crane of at least ten tons capacity. These beams are 20 feet above the floor, and the rafters are another 20 feet above these beams. Another feature of the building is that on both sides of the building will be put about ten to twelve windows each to be six feet by ten feet, as well as the entire upper portion of the roof, which is raised above the rest, having all windows, thus afford ing the building much light. The size or rather the great length of the building will permit the handling of three cars at one time and give them enough room to work on them too, as each car is only 35 feet long.
 At present about the only machinery on the ground for the shop is a large lathe and a few small machines. However, another lathe, shaver, a 20 horse power gasoline engine, a pipe machine and a drill and punch machine have been ordered and should arrive on the next few boats. The motor is expected on the Alameda. With this material, Mir. Hancock says, that any kind of re- pair work can be done and even cars can be built.
 In connection with the round house and machine shop is 20 by 24 black smith shop with one of the largest forges in the country. The black smith shop is equipped to do any kind of heavy work.

COLLECT MONEY FOR
 ANCHORAGE SCHOOLS.

At the time the steamer Alliance left Anchorage some of the citizens of that town were taking around a subscription list for the purpose of securing enough money to obtain teachers for schools. It is said that Commissioner Mears has promised to erect a school building if the citizens provide the running expenses. The number of school children in Anchor age was estimated by one person to day as no and by another as 115.

maxlms ito engage everywhere, then see," he spread out his men and en- deavored to obtain contact with the enemy. The mass move came through Belgium and Luxembourg, the point least expected, with the re- suit that Jofrre's reserves were a long way off. Greatly outnumbered and without sufficient time to bring up re- Inducements, Jofre, who had felt the enemy's strength at Charleroi, dcterm ined to fall back towards his reserves while his reserves advanced to meet him. Furthermore he profted by the lessons of 1870 which were distinctly to the effect that conquered territory may be redeemed but a beaten army ends all hope. No matter what hap pened, he resolved to keep his armies intact; to refuse all offers of battle until such a time as he deemed the chances were in his favor. Not even to save Paris would he allow himself to engage in decisive struggle if he felt the moment had not come.
 
 Hoping the favorable moment might come somewhere along the Champagne tablelands, Joffre started the formation of a new army at Amicns. This was the Ninth Army under General Maunoury. The trains transporting this army moved only at night and, l am told by staff officers, the Germans were not aware of it's formation.
 But the German advance was too rapid. The new army was not more than half formed when Amiens had to be abandoned. Lille, Arras, and most of northern France was overrun so, again by night, the army of Maun- oury hastened back to Paris where its enrolment was completed.
 Sept. 8 the Germans were in sight of the capital. Their right was a few miles to the north of Paris while their line continued on southeastward, eastward and northeastward. Uhlan patrols reached the Seine to the southeast of Paris and within few miles of the Seine to the northwest.
 The German General Staff had to decide whether they would take Paris immediately or to follow up and crush an army which they had be- lieved to be demoralized, routed and incapable of serious opposition. They chose the latter alternative-the only proper one, from military point of view, for with the Allied army crush ed Paris would fall like ripe fruit into the first hand that shook the tree.
 So. instead of continuing directly southward and entering Paris, Von Klucks army in conjunction with Won Buelow's army turned eastward to deliver the knockout blow.
 Joffre's longed-for minute had come. His air scouts reported that Won Kluck's masses had faced the east and that Won Buelow's were pouring across the Marne at many points. He sent for Sir John French, commanding the British. The British in the forest of Crecy and extending ca tward towards Coulommiers, would keep in touch with the Fifth Army under d'Esperey. Other army commanders were ordered to begin their attack at dawn Sept. 6. Joffre,

PARIS, Sept. 10, 1914 Special Cor respondence by mail. )-The German army is in full retreat. The Allied forces are everywhere victorious After getting within sight of Paris and when it seemed that nothing on earth could stop their drive, the in- vaders have been hurled back in dis order and the capital is safe.
 With a recklessness bordering on impotence, the result of seeing fort ress after fortress surrendered merely before the menace of their approach, the Prussians ignored the reserves they must have known were massed here. turned eastward from Paris eX- pecting to crush a weak and iOuted enemy: In so doing they uncovered their right and General Maunoury struck. Surprised, dazed almost, they turned to face the enemy when again they were hit on the flank, this time by General French, of the British, Franchet d'Esperey of the Fifth; Focn of the Ninth Reserves, and the rest.
 Von Kluck and Von Buelow, com manding the German right, were staggered. They fought desperately and tried to rally their armies but Foch, teacher of tactics at St. Cyr, the French West Point, outmaneuver- ed them, drove a murderous wedge into their lines and sent them back almost in panic under a storm Of French 75 shells.
 The German "battle without to- morrow" has failed. The morrow is here and with it signal defeat. The Battle of the Marne is over and the French have won.
 In Paris the news was hailed as the announcement of miracle. Each day some 10000 to 5O,OOO people had been abandoning the city, expecting the immediate entrance of the Ger mans. It was known that the Kais- CTS legions were near and advancing 20 and 30 miles a day. The French and British seemed powerless to check them and an irredeemable disaster appeared inevitable.
 To the few, however, sharing the confidence of General Joseph Joffre, the Trench commander-in-chief, the victory is gratifying but not surpris- ing. It comes as the logical result of his plans made immediately after Charleroi.
 When war was declared Joffre knew he would have to face what the Germans called "brusked attack" Just where this would come he had no idea. Adopting one of Napoleon's
