THE SATURDAY GATEWAY

Beginning with today's issue the Gateway will publish eight pages on each and every Saturday. This has be- come necessary by the demand for paper which can be sent to our sub- scribers in the place of a weekly, and the Saturday Gateway will contain all the weeks doings, taken from the col umns of the dailies, besides having six or more pages of new matter. includ- ing mining news, territorial news, and correspondence from various camps,
 The Gateway will be an all home print paper and have the complete tel egraphic service of the daily. It Will consist of many features not hither- to seen by our readers, and we be- lieve will jump into sudden popularity as the favorite paper of the Third div ision.
 We are starting out with an increase of 800 copies. all of which are new weekly names, and the first two issues will consist of 800 additional copies for samples, giving out subscribers total of 1453 copies.
 We hope to increase this by regular subscriptions, as from time to time better features are added. We need correspondents from every camp, and will gladly pay fair price for such items, furnishing the paper free to such correspondents, and also stamps and paper. If you desire to make a lit tie extra money write for the Gateway. We will dress the matter up and make it readable. We already have a good corps of correspondents to the west ward, but need others along the rail way. We also want good correspon- dent at Latouche.
 We let the paper speak for itself. If you do not believe it is the best three dollars worth of reading you have ever seen we will gladly take your name off our list. The Daily Gateway will continue publication as before, but on Saturdays it will be made larger and this paper sent to weekly subscribers.
 Advertisers will find it valuable medium.

THE NOME DISTRICT

One of the most welcome exchang- es coming to our table is The Nome Nugget. For several years the Gate way has not been receiving an ex- change from Nome, owing to some diff ferences existing between the former editors of those papers, but under the new management these have been satisfactorily adjusted and we can now keep our readers posted on the doings of the great district to the north of us.
 Many persons are under the impress sion that Nome is dying camp, which is not a fact, as shipments from that section including the Siberian trade, are greater than for many years, and all the district needs is available transportation to bring it back again to its former greatness.
 Efforts should be made by Alaskan to have the government railway ex- tend from Nenana to Nome. The dis trict is easy to build a road in, and a railway would tap some of the richest mineral sections in Alaska, besides opening LII. wonderful field for trade with Siberia. which in time will be one of Alas<a's greatest assets.
 The dis.rict round about Noma is very rich in gold and other minerals, but the long period during which the country is without transportation dur ing the winter months causes a ces- sation of production, and stiles trade of all kinds. About 800 miles of road would have to be built, but the route could be along the right bank oI the Yukon, through district practically level and with no obstruct1ons 10 speak of. The grade would be easl, and the travel heavy
 Nomeites must now come out by dog team to tLe Yukon thence up the Nu- kon to the Tanan4 and from there to Nenana. i his trip is m expansive Ire and takes seyera; weeks Mime. The winter mails a,e ai>1 sent in by Ii is route.
 Another route for the government railway which would bring more trade would be to extend the line from a point about Nancy, thence to the rich Kuskokwim district, by way of Rainy Pass, from there to, Holy Cross and to Nome. This is a much shorter route and would also give the railway the Kuskokwim trade.

DEBAsED CURRENCY
 USELESS IN SCHOOL

VIENNA, December PA curious effect of the debased Austrian curren- cy is disclosed in the necessity of re- vising the system of instruction in decimal numbers in the schools.
 As in all other countries, the simp- lest method for such instruction used to be in terms of money, appealing di- recty and understandingly to the child mind. Thus it was easy to for mulate lessons to the effect that one heller representa- one one hundredth of a crown, and so on.
 Now one heller represents vari- able sum; with no comparative stabil- ity, and the school authorities are try ing to find another basis or symbol for printing instructions.
 Furthermore, children today never hear of hellers except in school. The lowest purchasing unit is 100 crowns, and it takes three such units to buy a box of matches.

THE YuLE TIDE

A MERRY CHRISTMAS to our read CTS, one and all, and let us on that day of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men" remember that we are all children of the same family.
 Let us not regard harshly those brothers, whethe: at home or across the sea, with whom we cannot sympa- thize, but let us rather echo and carry in our hearts those words of the Say ior, '.Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do."
 At this season cOmmemorating the birth of Him who came to serve man. kind it is natural that service should be uppermost in all our minds. And it is well that this should be so, for by service alone do we go forward.
 Christmas days are "going-forward" days, times when our consciousness of our obligation to others is renewed, and when by our more earnest striv- ing to fulfill those obligations we ap- proach closer, for the moment, to an unselfish attitude toward life and those who share it with us.
 The world would be better if Christ mas came oftener. And even though we cannot have the day itself but once a year, we can and should strive to carry the spirit of Christmas in our hearts throughout the year.
 On that day wherein throughout the world recognition is given Him let none but kindly thoughts, and deeds, be uppermost in our minds and hearts toward those who are less fortunate 1y situated than ourselves and give unto them that ray of hope which the Christmas spirit intends.
 A kind word; smile, will do much to lessen the burden of care which bows down those whose pathway thru life has been fraught with blasted hopes and promise. The friendless ones will appreciate a thoughtful word; those whom the social world regards as outcasts hunger for the word of mankind in a friendly tone Let yours be the voice that bids them cheer, and,
 Peace on earth, good will toward men,"

THE DISTRICTS to the westward of Seward have experience the finest climate this year in the history of the territory. The sun has shone almost continuously and there has been very few storms. It is possible that the eli mate Is changing, as is claimed by scientists, but whatever the cause AL aska is not experiencing the cold win te-s of quarter of century ago. The mercury in Seward up to the present time has not dropped below ten above Zero. and there has not been enough one inch being on the ground now.

The Travels of a Dollar That is Spen,
 at Home

The farmer receives it in exchange for produce he ships to the city mar ket. He pays it to the Grocer. The Grocer's wife must have a new gown, and it goes to the drygoods man. That gentleman pays it to his clerk and the latter hands it over to the shoe dealer. MT. shoe dealer wants new suit and the clothing man gets it. A car goes on the blink and the clothier transfers it to the garage man. The garage man is pious sort of a bird, and drops it into the collection box at Sunday morning services. Then it reaches the church treasurer. and he tickles the palm of the preacher with it, and the Ministerial gentleman slips it to the milliner in exchange for a new hat for Mrs. Preacher-or as part payment thereof. Mrs. Milliner needs some face cream, and the beauty parlor or drug store gets it. Then it goes to another grocer for foodstuffs, and the grocer hands it over to the farmer for pro- duce, and the Dollar starts off on an- other round of calls.
 A sort of endless chain, you know. But if the farmer had sent that Dollar to a Catalogue house where it heck would it be by this time?
 Certainly not in this Community!

A MAN in Missouri coughed up a ten cent piece which he had swallow ed forty years ago. To make it good story we can state that Seward man coughed up a quarter swallowed ten years ago, and within few minutes another coughing spell brought up 8 per cent interest, compounded.

times when it is almost impossible for

This petition is to be presented to
