To build rat proof corn crib, set
ii on locust or cedar posts so that
it will be at least two and halt feet
from the ground Then put one
fourth inch hiesh wire netting on the
sides and ends, and you will have a
rat-proof crib. The saving from
rats and mice will pay for the wire
in single season.

APPRECIATION
 FROM SEATTLE

The following from the Railway and Marine News indicates it's opinion of the campaign launched by The Gate way to hurry the commercial opening of the Matanuska coal fields, which seems about to be realized:
 SEWARD SOUNDS NOTE
 Viewed from any angle the cam paign inaugurated editorially by The Gateway of Seward, Alaska, to get the MatanuSka coal opened to the pub lie is highly interesting. The editor is to be congratulated upon his stand for it will be recalled that he was on The Seattle Star and at one time de- tended the fallir Clifford Pinchot. He then wrote "from the outside" Now he is on the inside and cannot help but view the matter in a practical light. Seward also has a change of heart, for it now realizes that when a majority of its citizens endorsed Pinchot theories as applied to Cordo- va, those same theories react today upon Seward and the whole govern ment railroad. Without a business like development of the coal and sue ceSSful marketing of that product the future of the whole government rail road project looms darkly on the ho- rizon That the campaign is bearing fruit appears certain in the light of the request of Secretary Lane for an- other $4,OOO.OOO with which to rush the road to ChickalOon and fill the gap between the Seward and Anchorage divisions. The Seward campaign cry of Get the Coap should have the en- dorSement of all AlaSkans as it sounds the keynote of the whole government project.

has not been any other demand

tendency to make some over

Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
Q ASTo RIA

Again we wish to call to the
attention of the property holders
of the Seventh Ward that the
model gravel road tax election
called by the Police Jury will take
place on Tuesday, December 4th.
The levy calls for sufficient taxes
covering long period for the is
suance of $75,000.00 worth Of
bonds being five per cent interest
and the building of model
highway in that section will
add much great value to the lands
through which the road will
pass so that every voter should
present himself at the polls and
register his approval Of the pro-
ject. No public improvement IN
community is better than good
highways and as the Sixth and
Fourth Wards have taken the,
initiative by levying small taxes
to carry on this important work
the good people of the Seventh
Ward should also give their hear
ty endorsement to the undertak-
ing proposed by their Police
Juror, Mr.. Miguel, who is taking
the lead in this matter. The fact
that the present Police Jury, like
their successors when they go
out of Office will not have five
cents to repair the public roads Of
the Parish, makes it imperative
that assistance be given by the
people themselves if they hope to
have highways with which TO
move their products It is the
only way that we can hope to
forge to the front and make our
lands and country real estate val
liable and the sooner the property
holders realize this the better for
al concerned.
Some little attention should
again be given to roaming dogs
throughout the Parish and City
by the Police Jury and City
Council in order to checkmate the
awful rabies and the spread Of n.y.
drophobia in the Parish. On two
occasions within the past three
weeks stock has died with rabies
and there is no telling where it
will end unless every roaming
canine is caught and put to death.
One diseased dog can do thou
sand of dollars damages and the
only way to prevent its spread
IS to make way with all trifing
ours that is running rampant. So
Tar it has not developed in this
City, but there is no telling when
some child or animal will get bit
md suffer the consequences. In
previous years it has been the
custom annually to make way
With every stray dog and the Gus
ON is one that it would be well
o keep up with at least one
month in every wear.
