the medium of exchange and barter. Our payroll has increased from few hundred dollars to nearly one thous. and dollars per month, and The Gate way now has a force of nine em- ployes. Very few Sewardites realize the magnitude of our operations or the notifications of our work, which reaches from the Fourth division in the Interior to the First division. And very few Sewardites realize the scope of work done, which includes the plainest pamphlet to the more elaborate embossed jobs.
 The Gateway management does not take the credit of our enlargement to it's own industry, but owes it's en- largement primarily to the splendid patronage given it by Seward resi- dents first, and next to the large pa tronage of our job department by out side firms. Seldovia, Kodiak and Un- alaska are good patrons of The Gate way, as is also Kanatak. To all our friends we desire to return our most sincere thanks. Our volume of busi- ness has been built up by live and let live methods, and that it is in- creasing from day to day may be seen by glance at our order books.

THE MERGENTHALER LINOTYPE

A machine to set type was the dream of inventors from the time when the printing business began to assume 8 position of importance among the trades. The original idea was that machine must handle type-founders' type and compose it in to line with the help of one or more operators. A number of machines were made along this line. Some were failures entirely, while a few others were perfected so that they
 would set type, but found to be too expensive to operate. It was through experimenting with a machine for the more rapid transcribing of re- ports of law cases and the reports of legislative committees that the idea

color processes. At this time two type setting machines of inferior quality, and in bad shape were will ed to us by our predecessors. To do good work it was necessary that we have better composing machinery. To this end a new Model Eight was installed last spring, and it's work was so satisfactory that the second machine. with enlarged flexibility was added.
 At this time The Gateway man. agement was fortunate in interest ing MT. H. V. Hoben in the publica- tion, and with his advent into the firm improvement was rapid and cer- tain. From struggling, immature daily with small circulation The Gate way has advanced by leaps and bounds until we believe it's circula- tion in it's chosen field is twice to three times that of any other publi- cation. The vast, undeveloped dis trict to the westward has been brot closer to the Seward merchants and banking houses. Thousands of dol lars more trade have come to us thru the medium of The Gateway, and each mail brings a greater volume of bus mess here. The Gateway last year brought many thousands of dollars of Outside money to Seward, which was turned in to our merchants through

The Reading Room

The Rawlins Reading Room needs
the support of every loyal citizen
at all times, but only once a year
are the majority of citizens asked
to help in a financial way. Several
thousand books are being circulated
each year free of charge, to almost
one thousand borrowers, for which
only a few public spirited men and
women are contributing monthly do
nations. There Is no other free
Reading Room similar to it in the
United States.
This year instead of having a regu-

Benton, situated strategically up
on the main line of the Union Pa
cific, the Lincoln and Rocky Noun
tain highways, tapping the North
Platte river for its water and power
occupies a commanding position in
Southern Wyoming industrial an
nails.
Not only is 1t ear the gigantic
new refinery of the Producers and
Reiiners corporation so that it has
every chance of becoming a work
inGman's town for this great oil re-
fning center, but Benton also Is most
fortunately situated in respect to
favorable grades tapping the Lost
Soldier oil fields, the Seminoe iron,
silica and asbestos deposits on the
north and the great coal and oil
fields on the south. not the least i'm
portant of which is the development
field around Craig, Colorado.
After making accurate and ex-
hnustive surveys covering certain
phases OF the potential development
of this very section of Wyoming, the
Union Pacific system. through its In
dustrial Agent. MIR. Il. ID. Hoag. has
the following to say in its bulletin
of January /. 1924.
I'm the oil and gas territory
known as the Lost Soldier field 80
to As miles north and west of the
Fort Steele-Rawlins potential indus
trial district-there is an estimated
average daily production of approx
imately 5000 barrels OF crude pc
troleum and 400 million cubic feet OF

power possibilities. 1t Is doubtful If
there is another locality in the Unit
ed States where all fuel exist within
so small a radius.
within the same area, tributary
to the Union Pacific system, are IN
developed deposits of Ammonium
Alum, Bentonite, Clays, Epsomite,
Feldspar, Fluorspar, Gypsum, Iron
ores, Limestones, Manganese, Micas.
Mineral paint ores, Potash, Shales.
Silica Sands, Silica Quartz, Sodium
Carbonate, Sodium Sulphate, Vol
canic ash, and other materials which
would seem to justify and should
attract Investigation on the ground
by those interested in the manufac-
ture Of cement and gypsum products,
iron, Chemicals, clay and shale pro-
ducts, fertilizers, glass products. the
smelling of ores and utilization OF
other raw materials"
This report, coming from a source
OF such indesputable authority as the
Union Pacific system, surely indi-
Gates a broad base Upon which the
town of Benton may develop and
thrive without danger of going down
before a slump in any one commod-
ity upon which 1t might otherwise be
dependent.
Entirely outside Of the Industrial
potential of Benton one finds upon
investigation other possibilities for
expansion such as transportation
and tourist traffic. Big interests
are at work upon the marketing
problem for crude oil from the new
ly discovered oil fields of northern
Colorado. The results of that work
on the part of New York fnancers
may very probably meal a north
and south railroad cutting its way
to the Union Pacific system. Any
such move is destined to aid the re-
glon In which Benton Is located.
Other factors in the future OF
Benton will be treated In this publ
cation later. as this is the fourth OF
a series of ten articles being develop
ed around this interesting theme.

tells had yet printed such a warning
on the back of their menus, that he
had no doubt but what they would
gladly adopt the suggestion if asked.
ION New Year Eve," Luckett said,
IT was pleased to find that many of
the prominent hotels had placed
placards about the halls cautioning
patrons that drinking would not be
tolerated, and am certain that it
had good effect"

OLD HOME
TOMATCHH|S
AND|RONS
Writer RemodeIed 25o-Year-
Old Maryland Building to
Original State.
By WILLIAM PICKETT HELM

Here is a house bought and re-
built to match an old pair Of and
irons. The building is at Bladens-
burg, Nd, and was purchased by
Raymond Evans. writer and econ
omist. He had been rebuilding It
for three years and still has about
a months more work before it win
be just as he wants 1t.
Evans found a magnificent pair
OF andirons in the ruins Of an old
building more than thirteen years
ago. He was so intrigued by his
find that he visualizei a home en-
entirely in accord with the ancient
irons. For ten years he hunted
for the house Of his dreams. Then
he found it, this old building at
Bladensburg, $50 years old and con-
structed Of stone that came over
from England as ballast In sailing
ships Of the seventeenth century.
When Evans found and bought It,
the house had long stood vacant.
The roof and floor were gone.
Various efforts at modernization had
been made through the two GEN.
turtles Of it's occupation. The CELL
ing beams had been covered over
with lath and plaster. The fire
places had been bricked up. After
great effort, the beams were cleaned
without destroying the deep, dark
color that they had ACQUIRED with
age. The bricks were torn from the
big fireplace-but some Of the or
iginal stones were gone. The native
stone did not match.
For more than year, the fire.
place stood gaping and incomplete.
Then Evans found some of the
ballast stone built into a break
water fence down the Eastern
branch or the Potomac, a mile
from the house. He succeeded in
buying 1t, tore 1t out Of the fence
and had 1t hauled to his house.
With 4 he constructed an addition
to the Nhouse--the low-roofed "II''
shown to the left Of the picture
and replaced the lost stones from
the fireplace. At last, the andirons
are at home in the house bought
and restored for them alone. Every
thing within the old stone walls
harmonic. There is nothing new,
nothing out of tune.
