HUCE ICE PACK NAMED
 AFTER CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Harding Glacier, huge ice pack, ninety miles long and forty miles in width, extending from Seward to Sel- dovia, has been named the Harding Glacier, in honor of the visit of our nations chief executive. In view ot the visit of President Harding, Sew ard citizens have given his name to the huge ice pack, believed to be one of the largest in existence, and a remnant of the glacial period when the ice cap covered the northern part of the Western hemisphere.
 Innumerable large and small gla- ciers radiate from the main pack into the ocean. The pack extends west and southwest from Seward and can be reached by way of Lowell creek, by an auto road not exceeding four miles in length where machines could drive directly upon the ice field. A more feasible route at the present time is to go down the beach half mile to Spruce creek, thence up the creek to Harding glacier, a mush for an Alaskan of about three hours. The trail is brushed out good and it is an easy climb.
 It is the hope of the people of Sew ard that the President himself will at some future time step foot on the ice field which bears his name At any rate for ages to come it will perpetuate the visit of our President.

MT. R. A. Pope, head of the Alaska Communications, corporation de signed to take over the radio and tel ephonic communications in Alaska, arrived on Saturdays boat and left to- day for trip to the Interior. In an interview with representative of the Gateway, MT. Pope said:
 My motive in establishing a radio telephone and telegraphic service throughout Alaska is a disinterested one, financially. I love Alaska and wish to spend the greater part of my time here, and 10 further my project have laid aside the majority of my mining plans this year, and am devot- ing practically all my time to com pleting this Alaska Communications service. My motive may be express ed in one sentence, What can do for Alaska l feel that the most impor- tant asset for Alaska is communica- tion-telephone and telegraph. So many enterprises are jeopardiZed by lack of men, lack of supplies and lack of communication at a critical time i; and when an enterprise fails it hurts Alaska. I could have saved thousands of dollars in my mining camp alone if | a0Ul6 tion with Seward. We are going to make it possible for every hamlet, camp and town in Alaska to be in in- stant communication with important centers here in the Territory and with the outside cheaply and eff ciently. We believe the enterprise will pay for itself in the future and ultimately will pay dividends and make itself self-supporting,
 We expect to have our first Wash ington station completed before fall the location having already been de cided upon.
 Tn saying we will improve the ser vice and reduce the rates, we do not wish to underrate or disparage the great service rendered by the Army and Navy for Alaska-but governmen tai service has different objective and different viewpoint than commercial service. A governmental service can. not secure an appropriation a: orce-- in fact a great passage of time often

STREET CARS OVER
KEY BRIDGE SOON
Work Begun on Loop Today Is
ExuectSd to Be Finished
by December |.

The Capital Traction Company ex-
poets to begin operating through cars
from the downtown section of Wash
the new Key bridge December 1, J. II.
Hanna. vice president and general
manager, announced today.
Gangs today began work on the
loop of track at the Virginia end of
the bridge to connect with the double
track laid across the bridge last
spring. The putting in of the loop
was delayed until now to permit the
filled land to settle.
Mr.. Hanna reminded the public that
when service across the bridge Is
fraugurated the company will collect
an additional II cent from each pas
senger riding to the Virginia side.
This will be done by selling tickets
at the rate Of two for l cent.
Thinks Tax Plan Unfair. ~
This company" explained Mr. Hanna,
did not seek the extension over the
bridge with the idea that 1t would be
a large revenue producer, but with the
ice. The extension will cost about
$3.50. 0o0 and it will be many years be-
fore traffic is sufficient to make q return
upon that Investment alone.
The one.half-cent tax imposed by
law upon all street car passengers car.
ried over the bridge. does not apply to
pedestrians, automobiles, or others
who use the bridge to gettto and from
Virginia. In our opinion II is decidedly
unfair to the street car user, but It il
q matter OF law. "
"ft would be unfair without any
doubt for this company to nav out
OF It's funds the " .cent tax on every
passenger carried over this bridge.
and 1t would be unfair to make the
general riding public of the District
pay this tax.
Revenue L. Limited >
This company has no source Of
revenue other than Its passe ayers
and IL the bridge ride tax is not paid
by the riders overIthe bridge 4 ni,ist,
OF course, be paid by all riders, tine
great majority Of whom will not use
the bridge"
Just when the Washington and Ola
Dominion Railway Company will dis
:. continue service to the District slice
= the old Aqueduct bridge is NOT
known, but 1t has been the intention
OF that company to stop its cars at
the Virginia side as soon as the Capi-
tai Traction Company begins run
ming cars across the new bridge.
