DOES IT BENEFIT THE TOWN?

The Daily Gateway in 1923 spent slightly over $16,000 in expenses while conducting it's business in Seward, Seven thousand five hundred and twen tv-one dollars were spent in the states, in stock, machinery and re placements, the remainder going dl- rectly into the coffers of Seward mer- chants, through wages work done and for materials furnished. In other words about 5000 was disbursed in Seward. Of this amount Seward III return gave the Gateway $5,621, the remainder coming from Outside. In other words fifty per cent of the mon ey spent in Seward by the Gateway came from agencies legal advertls- ing, subscriptions, etc.
 This shows that to get dollars worth of business in town we have had to spend dollar and a quarter. While this money was scattered over the town promiscuously, practically every citizen was benefited by it, the money passing from hand to hand un- til it reached the mail order patron when it went Outside and remained there. The Gateway employs eight persons, including three carriers it's wage scale being higher than ever paid before in Seward
 In 1923, possibly 15 per cent of the job printing done in the city went out side Merchants who would shout for protection from itinerant peddlers hand over their work to itinerant sol icitors without one Qualm of consci- ence. The Gateway spent several hundred dollars in advertising the town and the town in turn spent sev eral hundred dollars advertising ID outside publications that had mucf less circulation than the Gateway, and whose advertising results were negn gible. Be this as it may, The Gate way now is asking the citizens foi all of their business in 1924. The more DuSlQ6SS We Sel t1c UcttCi pe' per we can get out. The better paper the better boost for Seward. We lose many jobs because we will not do tht work at the price charged in Seattle while paying from 10 to 100 per cen over Seattle prices for what we buy ourselves. This is one phase of the situation that is puzzling to the av craze printer.
 We have attempted to show in this article the value of The Gateway tC the town of Seward. In return, we would ask that in 1924 every dollar spent for jobwork be spent at home The same argument applies to mail order job printing bought by mer chants that applies to mail order buy ing by the people. Until the merch' ants and business men learn to trade at home themselves they can hardly educate the people along these lines.

CROSBY MINE

Effort Being Made to Drain
Lake Which Holds Body
of Dead Miners
Owner of Mine Announces
Resumption of Work as
Soon as it Is Drained

Crosby, Minn., Feb. S.-(By the A.
P.)-Sealed with muck and sand the
Milford mine near here, underground
tomb of Al iron ore miners drowned
late Tuesday, today as it probably
will for weeks to come still retains
its flood victims.
Fifty men, among them the best
engineering talent on the Guyana
range are engaged in the work OF
draining the mud lake which flooded
the mine but frequent readjustments
of pumps and equipment are retard-
ing progress.
Engineers believe that pumping
operations once under way to full
capacity should continue "a hours a
day until the lake is drained which
it is expected will be at least 10
days or two weeks.
George H. Crosby of Duluth, pre-
sident of the Whipmarsh Miring
Company, operators of the ill-fated
mine, is still on the ground, giving
every aid to the augmented staff OF
engineers. Engineers today noticed
little change in the water level OF the
mine shaft which yesterday sank SIX
feet to about 20 feet from the ground
surface. The mud lake has dropped
about four feet already.
| Howard Crosby, son of George n
Crosby and manager of the Milford
mine, told the Associated Press to-
day that the flooded mine would bt
reopened for operations just as soor
as the pin was cleared, the bodie:

Modern Boy Scout Is Factor in National
Safety Movement

the last few years it has broadened
its activities to include safety in
struction in the schools. 1t believes
the best way to reform Careless
America" is through, the younger
generations. And it is here that the
Boy Scout has given invaluable aid.
He is the evangelist of safety.
Useful Work
In a recent campaign conducted in
Cleveland, o., by the lOcaI s"f"ty
Council there, Boy Scouts distributed
100000 posters bearing safety rules
and admonitions. In a traffic cam
paign directed against the evil of
"jaywalking," they painted cross
walks on the city's streets, stenCiled
huge white feet to show pedestrians
where to cross intersections and
tagged every parked automobile with
safety tag.
"The Boy Scout Of today" says
John X. Doan, scout director in
Cleveland, "goes in less for the back
to nature stuff and more for activi-
ties of public service nature. It's
all in keeping with the demands OF
modern civilization. You'll generally
find a Boy Scout where he's needed
and nothing needs him more tran
the movement which has as it's pur-
pose the saving of human lives

SCHOOL BOARDS CALLED into
MEETING TO CONSIDER TAX CUTS

this there are to be paid teachers
salaries of $4,000 and an overhead
expense for operating the buildings,
for light, heat, janitors, ETC., $780,
900. The overhead charges are prac-
tically fixed and if there is to be
a reduction, it seems that the re-
duction must come from teachers
salaries and in eliminating certain
departments and supervisors.
To bring the whole matter before
the school boards and to secure dnlt-
ed action is the intent of President
Carr.
The whole matter is carefully out
lined in the letter which Mr.. Carr
has sent to the presidents of the
boards of education in about seventy
five of the larger cities of North
Dakota. The replies to. Mr.. Carr's
letters indicate that forty or fi1ty
cities will be represented at the
Jamestown conference.

Jamestown, N. D., Feb. 8.-John
w. Carr. president of the board OF
education of the city of jamestown,
has called a meeting of representa-
tives Of the boards of education OF
approximately fifty of the largest
cities of the state at jamestown on
Thursday, February ID, for the pur-
pose of forming, if possible, some
general policy toward reduction OF
school expenses and school taxes.
The increasing cost of the schools
and the difficulty taxpayers are hav-
ing in meeting the levies has result
ed in situation so acute that it is
felt that all of the boards should CO.
operate in meeting the situation.
AS an example of the financial sit
uation that faces boards yof educa-
tion all over the state, Mr.. Carr
quotes the figures in Jamestown. The
1928 levy for the Jamestown schools
was approximately $4,000. From

ary. Sorlie was nominated by the

in the grain business. He denied
reports emanating from Grand
Forks that he was member OF
