PIONEERS ARE HAPPY WHEN
 WORKING AT THE SlTKA HOME

That the old timers living at the Pioneers Home at Sitka are well pleas ed with the new system whereby they work a couple of hours a day, is the assertion of Lockie Mackinnon, treas urer of the board of trustees of the home, who returned to Juneau recently from an inspection trip of the home, in company with Karl Thiele, repre- senting the governor, president of the board.
 Up until recently Mr MacKinnon says, the men at the home had nothing to do, as all the work about the place was done by outside help. Now each

NEW WHARF BE BUILT AT 't Y
 RYDER BY FIRST OF MARCH

Plans for the construction of new wharf in Hyder are complete and the work of driving the piling will start immediately. The wharf will be built by Capt. E. J. Williams, of Ketchikan owner of the Carmen and Taku H., E. V. Clary; captain of the Carmen and Fred Dorey, of Hyder, head of the Dorey Transfer. They have been con sidering the project for some time and have been waiting for permission from the War department.
 The wharf will cost close to $5000 and will be located close to where the salmon valley road constructed by the government would strike deep water if continued from It's present southern terminus at the baseball backstop. H.. Hucke has had a crew of men at Riv- CTS point for several weeks cutting pill ing for the wharf and approach and the best location for the>wharf was de- termined by Road Commissioner Joe Ulmer when he visited Hyder the lat ter part of November.
 The government is to build the ap- proach, approximately 2200 feet in length. An additional approach will be buiIt up toward the end of the Sal mon valley road in Ordar that if may not be necessary for freight destined for the mines to make detour thru he business section of the town. The government work will cost in the neighborhood of s2O,OOO and construc- tion will start as soon as the piles are cut.

HOUSES SCARCE AT TENAkEE

Houses are so scarce at Tenakee that citizens are compelled to erect tents to live in. Many have fixed up their boats for winter residence.

man who is able does two hours work each day and are more tha n anxious to do it. Not only does it kee their minds occupied, but the expense of the establishment has been materially re- duced.
 Recently the whole interior of the hospital has been repainted by one of the pioneers, new basement has been put in by others and some of the fir ing of the heating plant is done by other old timers
 He claims that upon inspection it was found that the whole establish ment was in fine shape and that the new superintendent, Theodore Kettle son, is well liked by the men.

GATEWAY IS CONTAMINATED

The Gateway is receiving many un- deserved compliments over the excel lence of its news service; undeserved in that it is the duty of a paper to give the news and it should not be complimented for doing it's duty. And furthermore, the Gateway has hardly reached the class of daily paper ow- ing to many mechanical imperfections and lack of space for necessary departments. But time will eliminate these imperfections, and with addi- tions to our plant we will soon be is suing daily of which our citizens can be truly proud.

ADVANCE MINING REPORT
 PLACES ESTIMATE AT $16,o00,o0

In an advance report on mining in Alaska for 1921, the U. s. Geological Survey estimates the output for the past year at $16,109,0OO, compared to $2S,3O3.575 for 1920. The decrease is due primarily according to the report just received by the bureau, to the world wide depression in industry which has resulted in decline in all forms of lode mining especially that of copper in Alaska. The dominant feat ures of the years mining are given as follows: l. Decrease of both copper production and development owing to the low price of the metal 2. The closing of the Perseverance mine, one of the three auriferous lode mines at Juneau 8 Continuation of activities in aurirerous quartz prospecting in the Sitka, Juneau Salmon river and Will low Creek districts. 1. A revival of placer mining. 5. Continuation of systematic refNarch for coal in the Matanuska field by the Naval Coal Commission. 6. The many examina- tions made in Alaska petroleum fields by oi lcompanies with the purpose of drilling. '. Discovery of a new To- cality of galena and other sulphide deposits in the Kantishna district.

WHY NOT A LAND OFFICE HERE?

With the continued travel to the Cold Bay oil fields, why not ask for the establishment of land office at Sew ard? There appears to be little neces sity of residents of the Third division going to Juneau to file their permits when Seward is the center of the oil activities.
 The First, Second and Fourth divi sions have land offices, why not have one at Seward

A FINE WATER SYSTEM

Seward is fortunate in having an up-to date water system. To those of us who take it asa matter of course, it represents nothing a but a water system or service, where the turning of tap will allow an unlimited quan- tiy of H2O for family use; but to the resident of town who has no sys.

Delaware Pea Crop
Is Damaged Badly
Lower Peninsula Visited by Flea
Swarms and Drought

The English pea crop, which prom
lsed week ago to be one of the larg-
est ever grown in lower Delaware,
Will be almost an entire failure, ac-
cordlng to the belief of many farmers
in the lower part of the State.
The largest acreage ever planted in
peas in lower Delaware was put out
early in the spring. The peas gave
promise of good returns until the
drought and pea lice struck them.
The growers thought they would be
able to protect their peas from the
louise, but the ravanous insect has ap-
peared in such numbers that the
farmers are unable to combat them.
The drought, which prevailed until
the past week, has also damaged the
peas to great extent, and what the
pea louise has not devoured the
drought has played havoc with.
Many vines or stalks are burned
and dried. The pea lice are among
the most destructive insects known to
farmers of this section. They appear
suddenly and in such numbers that
they are able to destroy large patches
in a single night.
Several farmers have plowed down
their pea crops, as fertilizers and will
prepare the land for later crop of
some other sort.
The failure Of the pea crop will
mean a loss of thousands of dollars to
the farmers, to say nothing of the loss
packers and the labor employed in
gathering the crop and putting it in
cans will experience

Delaware University
Will Fit Swine For
international Show

Inc Agricultural Department of the
University of Delaware is fitting for
the 1lfst time, pen of barrows for the
International Live Stock Exposition
neld annually at Chicago, and thus
becomes a challenger of the great
agricultural Institutions of the Corn
Belt, which have won all the honors
OF recent years in this class, accord
ing to L. A. Baker, head of the College
animal Husbandry Department, at
Newark, Delaware.
Experiment Stations of state col
ieges have demonstrated superiority
over individuals in feeding and fitting
ANIMALS for this, the greatest of fat
stock shows, by winning the pen and
individual championships for years
past. The grand champion pen of
three fat hogs has been won by Col
lege exhibitors since 1918 as follows.
1918 and 1919, University of Missouri:
1920, Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanics College; 1921, University
OF Illinois, in each instance with po-
land China barrows.
The grand champion individual fat
hog at that show has been exhibited
by University since 1918, all breeds
competing, as follows: 1918, Univer-
slty of Illinois, on Chester White:
1919, University of Missouri, on Po-
land China; 1920, Iowa State Col
lege, on Chester White, and 1921. Uni
versity of Minnesota, on Berkshire.
When Mr.. Baker determined to en-
ter this field of experiment, he went
to the Delaware swine breeders, and
asked them for choice of litters, and
ne has been granted the selection of
the five best pigs from the Poland
China herds of the state, at price
much less than what the animals
would sell for, and the breeders were
glad to cooperate, according to Mr.,
Baker.

COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL
REVENUE BULLETIN

Collector of Internal Revenue John
W. Herring announced that ownership
certificates forwarded the Income Tax
Division should be executed only on
the revised forms which were placed
at the disposal of the public recently,
Banks, collecting agents, debtor cor
porations and withholding agents
should Immediately inspect their sup
plies of the ownership certificates
bearing form numbers 1000, 1901,
lOO1A, 1858 and 1859 to ascertain
that the bear the words, "Revised
JAM, 1922" directly beneath the form
number" Collector Herring advised.
Forms marked in any other manner
should not be distributed hereafter,
In case sufficient supply of the
forms is not being carried on hand to
meet the anticipated demand, a re-
quest upon the Collector should be
made. Collector Herring also stated
that copies of the Treasury Decision
explaining the provisions of this
ruling would be distributed to tax
payers requesting them.
Banks and collecting agents, deb
tor corporations, and withholding
agents shall refuse to accept the old
forms IN connection with income due
after June 1, 1922 when received from
continental United States, and with
respect to income due after july I.
1922 when received from abroad" if
was stated in regard to acceptance of
the certificates in the future. It is
necessary to caution every individual
ana agent concerned with the collec-
ton OF these slips in order to avoid
the many Inconvenience which NAV
arise through failure to observe this
requirement.

Strawberries Are Easy to Grow in Some Gardens

In farmers bulletin 1912, United
states department of agriculture, ap-
pears the following on growing straw
berrles' among other things that 20
10 make up a perennial garden, in
Guiding such vegetables as aspara-
gus, rhubarb, and horseradish, and in
small fruits, raspberries, blackberries,
Logan berries, dewberries, currants,
gooseberries and grapes.
None of the dwarf fruit trees are
included, nor are any of the perennial
herbs used in cooking.
All of the perennial fruits are par
tlcularly desirable where household
economics are desideratum.
Strawberries are so easily handled
and require so little room that if
only one of the small fruits can be
grown they should be the one select
ed. New plants may be purchased at
small cost from a nurseryman, or
perhaps may be obtained free from
neighbor.
The strawberry plant may be grown
IN nils or in narrow or wide matted
rows. For very small area, plants
set IN hills close together, will no
doubt produce the most and largest
frult, but will require more care than
matted rows. For hill growing, set
the plants one foot apart in the row
and have the rows just far enough
apart to cultivate easily, say from
two to three feet, or set two rows a
foot apart in double rows and have
space of two or three feet be-
tween the double rows. Keep all rum
ners cut off and give good cultivation.
so as to make extra strong plants.
Some OF the choicest varieties for hill
culture are the Marshall and Chesa-
peake of the single-drop kind and the
Superb and Progressive of the ever
bearing varieties. The everbearing
varieties will no doubt be most sat-
lsfactory for hill culture.
10 start matted rows, set the
plants eighteen inches apart in rows
from three to four feet apart. For
narrow matted row, train the first
runners along the row, covering about
foot in width, and cut off all later
runners. From four to six new plants
from each plant set will make a mar
row row. For wide matted rows, save
enough new plants to make the row
two feet wide, or more, as desired.
Do not let the plants crowd each
other; have them three or four inches
