SELD0VIA SALTERY
 ENDANGERED BY FIRE

The plant of the M. & NJ. Packing company at Seldovia was in danger of total destruction during the blaze which destroyed the four-story hotel, used by the company as quarters for its women employees, the mess house and the office building. Only the loyal and heroic efforts of the towns people and employees saved the main saltery buildings and the mems bunk houses, according to R. E. McIver, manager of the company, who is in Seward purchasing lumber to immed- lately replace the burned builings.
 "The fire was first discovered al- most immediately after the crew had gone to supper and was in a room on the third floor. The fire spread so rapidly it was impossible to save any thing and most of the girls belong ings," said Mir. McIver.
 "The fire, altho inconveniencing us to great extent" said McIver, will not stop us packing for even day, We will immediately rebuild. We wish to express our sincere apprecia- tion to all those who so generously assisted us and offered us aid during and immediately following the fire. It is to the loyalty of our crew and the assistance given them by the people of Seldovia in fighting the fire that we were able to save the main Particularly we want to thank Captain Hvatum and the crew of the schooner Scandia but there are so many others we ask the Gateway to express our thanks to all"
 The loss is estimated between $15,- 900 and $20,0OO

CALIFORNIA GLACIER
 IS ON THE MOVE

EUREKA, Cal, Sept. 30.-The Mt. Shasta glacier, dislodged by the long drought and warm weather, has slip ped from it's ancient resting place on the north side of the mountain and is moving down the slope at a rate of five miles an hour, snapping off big trees in it's path and thrusting inn mense boulders before it.
 The movement began a short time after dawn and at noon the huge mass of ice was we'll within the timber line.
 The glacier movement is evidently not related to the phenomenon of a heavy mud flow on the opposite side of the mountain recently. This flow is believed to have started from other ice deposits melting under many days of hot sunshine.

PLANES EQUIPPED WITH WIRELESS BEING USED
 SCOUT RUM RUNNERS
MACHINES ARE UNMARKED AND CARRY OBSERVERS WITH
 POWERFUL GLASSES

SECRET HARBOR, Sept. 3O.-Air- planes equipped with wireless and carrying observers armed with power ful glasses are now being used to scout ahead and skirmish to the sides of the route selected by booze run ners in reaching Puget Sound thru the channels of the San Juan islands, to notify the booze boats if channels are clear of craft and revenue cutters, or to give warning if they are not, it has developed here.
 Many times in past weeks the drone of motors of airplanes, so high in the air they cannot be located, have been heard at various points in the San Juan islands, and with their help the booze runners are becoming bolder, and running is becoming daylight job for the boiler-iron-lined speed boat and the daredevil crews.
 With flames streaming from a broken oil pipe big machine volplan- ed into sight of Guemes and Cypress islanders week ago and a landing was made in Bellingham channel, where the plane was picked up by a passing gas boat and lowed to a cove where repairs were made. The plane was without name, number or distin- gushing mark of any kind. She was equipped with wireless receiving and sending sets and carried a crew of three men, wireless operator, pilot, and observer.

Territorial Government
By J. c. MURPHY.

On several occasions you and 1 have had more or less discussion of the advantages to Alaska of full form of Territorial Government and you invited me to write up my ideas of such advantages and you stated that you would cheerfully publish the same
 It would seem to me that just now after one of the major political par ties of the United States has deem, ed the matter of sufficient importance in their National Platform would be a good time to write such a thing up and try to create a discussion and to educate the voters of the territory of the advantages of such govern ment and also the disadvantages, if any there be, and candidly I believe that there are some disadvantages, but these are infinitisimal in compari- son with the advantages that are to be gained should we be able to con- vince Congress of the wisdom Of such a course in dealing with matters Al askan.
 That sentence, or portion of sent ence in the Alaska Plank of the Dem Ocratic Platform which in import says such a government as has been en- joyed by the different territories of tn eUnited States for the past cen tury' should and does mean lot to the people up here if the same should be carefully studied out.
 In the memory of every voter who has reached the age of fifty years, or whereabouts, the present states of No. and So. Dakota, Montana, Washing ton, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Ari- zona and New Mexico were territo- ries and it is safe to say that the represe entatives, at least a big ma Ejority of the representatives of these states in the Congress and Senate of the United States are familiar with the government enjoyed by their re- spective commonwealths in territorial days. Many of the voters here in AL aska, the writer among them, spent their boyhood days in these territo- ries
 Was there great difference in these territories in the way of gov ernment from that which we now en- Ijoy in this hybred form that is in force here in Alaska? To us a slang expression: I'LL SAY THERE IS!"
 Absolute Necessity of Counties.
 The first thing that must be done in order that Alaska may have what the other territories had is the for nation of county governments. With out them the people have no admins trative machinery with which they can carry on government.
 At the present time owing to our Public Municipality Act the people of the various cities in Alaska are able to govern themselves, but when we get one foot beyond the boundaries of these cities we enter the domain of the Federal Government and the peoples rule ceases. To say that the people of Alaska can not maintain county form of government is fool ish and anyone who makes such a statement is not familiar with the conditions that prevailed in the other territories. All of the other Terri tories, believe, with the possible ex- ception of Oklahoma, had such gov
Seward daily gateway., 1924-09-30

ernment and it is a certainty that the four states admitted in 1889, viz: North and South Dakota Washington and Montana had county form of gov .ernment many, many years before statehood was given to them
 Separation of Territorial and
 Federal Jurisdiction.
 Territorial affairs and federal af- fairs in Alaska should be so separat- ed that the line of cleavage would be just as decernable as it is in the states; in other words the people of Alaska should be given the largest possible say so in the government of the territory. All police power and Court power, except as reserved in the Federal Courts in the states, should be in the hands of elective officers and in the hands of the peo- pie of Alaska and this can easily be done if our territorial enabling act is reconstructed so as to provide for the same.
 Our Alaska Courts should be as near like our state courts as it is pos sible to make them. There should be Territorial Courts and a U. s. Dis trict Court. The Territorial Courts to handle strictly territorial business, such as is handled by state courts and the Federal Court to handle Fed eral Business and we should have a Territorial Supreme Court as the other territories had.
 There can be no reason why the judges of these territorial courts in- cluding the Supreme Court should not be elected by the people and of course all county officials would be elected.
 The Cost.
 Most people delude themselves that all of this. would be of such great expense that the people and the prop GIIy u AldSho tCOu1u 1OI CllC strain of upkeep and this argument has been the most potent one against the inauguration of such a system. But would there really be such a great expense?
 Most County Offices Will Care
 For Themselves.
 The Executive officer of every coun- ty would be the sheriff. T his office in most of the territories was a fee office and it should be such in Alaska. Justices offices, recording offices and clerks of the district courts would also be fee offices and therefore self sustaining. The legis- lative officers of each county would be the County Commissioners, not ne- cessarily over three in number. They would meet not oftener then once
