JAMES J. BRENNAN IS
 LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA

James J. Brennan writes the Gate way that after a month of hard work investigating different properties in California, he has purchased a nice little place in Fl Cajon, California a town of about 500 population in San Diego county, twelve miles from San Diego. Mr. Brennan says that his dis trict is a great grape country and fine for raising chickens, also that any thing will grow we'll with the addition of little fertilizer. He states that he bought a five room house with a 16 by 60 chicken house and 500 chickens, and has settled down to life of ease He declares that he is going to make a rhubarb ranch out of his property as the crop sells for five cents per pound the year round, and he has an acre started.
 MT. Brennan left Seward several months ago for the Outside and his many friends here are glad that he has found location that is satisfac- tory in climate and soil

elect. Much friction may be avoided by talking over desired legislation with the representative from your district and he will have time to, study the merits and demerits of such bills. u is very discouraging for an official to put forth his best efforts in the leg islature and have his constituents null lify them by useless criticism. Both Messrs. Dimond and Chamberlin are the best men that could have been sent to represent the Third Division, in the territorial senate. and Repre- sentatives Murray. Foster, Staser and Price may be depended upon to ad- vance our interests to the best of their ability, which may be hampered by an indifference upon the part of their constituents.

HONOR THE POSTMASTER

Have you ever stopped to conside: the many courtesies extended the pub lie by the overworked and underpaid postmaster When a boat comes into Seward and our citizens get their mail have you ever stopped to conslde- tie work entailed. Government regula- tions call for eight hours work. At the end of this period the postmaster IS entitled to go home, play with his fam fly, or pass the time, as he chooses; but, does he do this? We will say he does not He remains in his office working hour after hour, while you are asleep, sorting and distributing the mails that you may not be incon- venienced or held up by business cor respondence Hundreds of hours are put in on his own time with no in- crease of pay to accomodate you and me.
 All honor to the postmaster hard est worked of all government employ eeS

DANGEROUS DAN AND THE RADIO

A bunch of boys were whooplng It up in a malamute saloon, And the kid who tickled the music box was pounding his usual tune. When out of the night, which was hfty below, and into the din and glare There rumbled voice down the chlm' ney pipe that seemed to come from the air:
 Hello. hello. all ships and stations; hello. all malamute saloons; It's KFC transmitting, stand by for a few jazz tunes!" cWell this beats mel swore Sam Nc Gee. and looked at Dan McGrew. Who'd turned as pale as his white mule ale, and the woman that s known as Lou, Hello, hello,' said the voice agaln, well now broadcast to you. A hot ION trot by Harold Weeks, and, boys, the piece is new! Who in hell is Harold Weeks yell ed Dangerous Dan McGrew; I'm off this bootleg stuff. v he said, and aimed kick at Lou. But the music swelled like a pent-up flood. and it filled the old saloon; It played The Sheik," Down Biminl Bay" and Meath Tropic Moon The kid on his stool banged away like fool, but the barkeep said, 'plpe down."
 A huskie howeled but a bullet plowed the brain of the luckless houn'; The music stopped; That's all to- night" said the voice down the chimney flue; Tomorrow night is Arctic Night, and boys we'll give to you The real low-down that Service wrote on the woman that's known as Lou"
 Wall. Lou turned white as ku kluX kite and wept a klondlke cry. 'Ill burn my letters, Dan," sobbed she, "I know that bird will lie! -Now, witness you me" shTieked Sam McGee, and he broke his glass on the floor
 And he signed this pledge on the win dow ledge; "I'll drink no moon no more!"

SEWARD, PORT OF ENTRY

Under a new ruling made by Presi- dent Harding in November, Seward has been made port of entry. Deputy Collector Abrams entering upon his duties the first of the year. The inn portance of this presidential order will be seen in the increased tonnage from and to this port, and in compilation of statistics and other advertising.
 The new collector is an old time AL askan, having been stationed at many ports and camps in the territory, and thoroughly familiar with the abpor- nal conditions prevailing. AS port of entry, Seward can look forward to an increased business and much benefic- ial notice from the Federal depart ment.

he or she stands in regard to the com munity.
 Have you been public spirited and energetic in boosting for your home town or have you been lethargic and indifferent, leaving constructive work to your neighbor and laboring solely to lay up money, regardless of the opinions of others? Have you promoted civic advance, ment, and been instrumental in see ing that home industries benefit by your presence?
 Have you been charitable and toler- ant and touched lightly upon the frail' ties of your neighbor, or have you add ed to his burdens and sped the swift tongue of calumny and the arrows of envy upon their way?
 Is there a man, woman, child or dog in town who is glad to have you come around, and who have smile or pleasant greeting for you, or do you 
 pride yourself on your brusque manner and barbed speech? You may fool the elders. but children and dogs are in falliable in their likes and dislikes.
 Do you live beyond your means, al laying your tradesmen to carry your burdens and assimilate your over head?
 Do you contribute to the support of the churches, libraries and charitable institutions of your town?
 Do you advise the erring and com fort the afflicted, or is your outer shell so calloused by your own adversity that you have no time for others?
 If you can answer the above affirm atively you are a model citizen, and Seward is proud of you; but we fear the most of us will go to the foot Of the class on the first question!

SCHOOL NOTES

School opened January ?, after generous weeks vacation. All were present and accounted for, with but two exceptions: Lawrence McNeer and Harry Revell. Lawrence who went to Fairbanks to live. will be sadly missed as he had made himself popular with all. Harry, who was Of on a moose hunt, will return soon.
 Speaking of moose hunts, Willard Shellhorn recently returned from a successful one. He bagged the record moose of the party.
 Two new names were added to the enrolment list: "Bilr' and Joe Estes from Moose Pass. They are not strangers to most of the boys and girls of Seward and are very welcome.
 The moon is at it's full, the weath- CT mild, the snow just right. Some of the pupils and teachers were quick to realize the possibilities of a jolly sleighride party under such favorable circumstances and organized such a party. The group rode the runners" to Mile 5. hiked out the rest of the way to Orlander's cabin and enjoyed lively time. Those in the group were as follows: The misses Stotko, Man they, Tallasen, Byrne, Finley and Johnson. Mesdames Short, Goodskey, and Orlander. Messrs Goodsky, Or lander, Hoban, Wallace Dakin, Albert Larson, Roy Neville, Willis Perry. William Estes, William Manthey, and Willard Shellhorn.

Another dredge for Canes Creek will arrive at McGrath next summer, which will be installed and ready for operation in the spring of 1924. At the head of the project is Judge Thomas N. Reed, of Juneau and a number of associates, chief among the latter be- ing G. W. Glass, well known mining man. Options have been secured on nine claims on Canes creek, starting at No. 13, and up stream. The machine to be installed will be of the Hume dredge variety, with 24 foot buckets

this company. In this way be will be reimbursed for the outlay.
 Kodiak, Seldovia, Afognak, Chignik, Unga, Unalaska and all points within a radius of one thousand miles will be able to listen to the Gateway news service for periods of one to two hours nightly, except Sunday. The charge for radio phone will be so light that every prospector and miner can afford one, and every pool hall can install loud mouthpiece, enab- ling patrons to hear the news service as plainly as the ordinary loud talking photograph.
 We also expect to increase the Sat urday paper to twelve pages so soon as the parts for one of our typesetung machines arrive from the states. The additional eight pages will be filled with features pertaining solely to AL aska. We will not touch on the bi- zarre nor the unusual, but will try in a truthful Eay to depict life in the northland, it's advantages and emo luments. Articles on agriculture, min ing, fishing, timber, pulp, reindeer farming and fur farming will be pub lished in each issue and will be as nearly accurate as man with his frail- ties and faults can write them. 3 This will be the paper to send to relatives and friends in the states. It will contain local and telegraphic news sufficient to balance other fea- lures. It will be typical Alaskan pap CT, edited by an Alaskan and intended for Alaskans. The doings of the fra ternal organizations, struggles of the grand old Pioneers. and their Igloos will be recorded.
 If you want to see our dream of greater newspaper for Alaska realized give us your help. We believe we can give you the paper and will do it.

GOVERNMENT LAND OFFICE

The necessity for branch land of flee at Anchorage is revealed by the increasing filings made from year to year. While the land office at Juneau is able to care for all business which may come before it, it is too far away from Southwestern Alaska to make for speed and convenience.
 Anchorage has been after this plum for some time and it is but mete that it should have it.

GIVE US SUPPORT

When we enlarged the Saturday Gateway by the addition of four pages we expected to add many new suo- scriptions to our mailing list and have already done so, but the paper has not received the endorsement of our business men to the extent expected. While il is too early alter making the change to feel the pulse of the puollc skip a beat over the improvement ln the Gateway, we at least may judge public sentiment by the results obtain cd
 There is no question but that Sew ard is receiving today. one of the best papers in it's existence. It is better printed. and reflects the tone or newspape- in a manner more benetlc' ial to the city. It has, we hope, no enc mics. and it's critics are few. Ii we have satisfied the people of seward with our previous efforts, well ana good, but we have failed to reach the apex of our hopes. which was to give this district the BEST paper in ALAS KA. Several reasons have combined against us. chief of which was lack of room in our old location, and adequate protection from the elements. We also have failed to secure the necessary support in a financial way.
 Re This as it may, it will in no wise interfere with our efforts to further enlarge the Gateway, until our reao- CTS unreservedly acknowledge we have reached the high mark str1Veh for bv the management. We need more advertisements and more correspond ents. We also need several hunoreo more subscribers. The last edition ol the Gateway topped the 700 mark, but this is a mere dribble to what the spigot will run when the contents or the barrel have been tasted
 One of the many improvements to be attempted by the Gateway Will De the establishment of a broadcasung station for radio phones. A competent man has already gone to the states to nick out the outfit and will nave charge of it. He is an expert in radio equipment and is as enthusiastic as inc rest of the force over the success of the enterprise.
 If the broadcasting is not a success financially, we will retain the recelV- ing apparatus and discontinue proad- casting. A trial will be made Of the possibilities of the equipment, chiefly for the benefit of our friends and pat rons, and not from pecunia-y motives, as the government will not allow the radio broadcasting plants operated by newspapers to be commercialized. The advantages of a broadcasting station at Seward are many, leaving out the advertising of the town as hustling, progressive locality.
 Subscribers and others having radio phones will receive this service free, but if possible, we would ask them to buy their phones and supplies from
