Valuable Curio Owned
 By George Sexton

George Sexton has valuable curio of the olden days in the shape of a nine-inch shell, used in the mortars of the United States Navy years ago, following the close of the Civil War. This shell was picked up by a native near Unalaska, and later sold to MT. Sexton. It bears the following in scription stamped on the brass plug, "U. s. Navy, Arsenal D, 1864"
 A peculiar incident in connection with the shell is that several years after it was found an apprentice sea man who was on the vessel which fired it, told of his vessel capturing a Japanese poacher, at which the shell was fired in 1874 The crew ot the poacher were taken to San Fran cisco and their vessel confiscated. The plug was removed and the combusti bles taken out shortly after the shel was found at Unalaska.

ENGLAND WANTS U. S. TO
 TRAIN HER MILLIONAIRE
CBy JOHN GUNTHER.)


 LONDON. March 1S.-The land ot moral blizzards" and trained mil lionaires."
 That's the newest characterization of the United States. It comes from the Rt Hon. H. A. L. Fisher former minister of Britain's scholars.
 Fisher has recently returned from a tour of American universities. The English Speaking Union here gave him a lunch. Fisher spoke. And he said a mouthful.
 II am interested particularly in the educational institutions of Ame- rica and Canada" he said. "In many cases they excited in my mind the most unholy feeling of envy
 There seems not a college in America or England which does pot appear to have a we'll trained re- tinue of obedient millionaires.
 At one trustees meeting l heard one such gentleman quitly murmur,
Seward daily gateway., 1925-03-18
Well, I think we had better begin

Well, I think we had better begin with ten millions"
 Think of the Hardness College at Yale, the new buildings at To- ronto, the magnificent campus of the University of Wisconsin, the great new buildings at the Univer- sity of Chicago:
 Really, we ought to send our rich men to America to learn how to endow colleges"
 AS to the moral blizzards," that picturaue phrase of Fishers sent his audience with cheers and laugh ter.
 America is the land of bold and sanguine experiment" he declared. Tt is often described as the land of the Dollar. It is not always that
 Sometimes it is swept by a moral blizzard. and before that blizzard all politicians go down like ninepins. One such blizzard is prohibition.
 Tt is too soon for us to pass a final judgment on that audacious enterprise in social legislation, which has been followed by some palpable and serious evils, more particularly a wide defiance of the law"

CATS DO PHENOMENAL
 WORK FOR THE A. R.

A wonderful piece of work was brot to a close here on Friday, February 27, when the three caterpillars trans porting freight from Mccarthy to the Nizina Bridge hauled their last load. From February 12 to 27 inclusive, the three machines handled four hundred tons of freight hauling over distance of nearly fifteen miles for the great CT part of the time having taken the river route rather than the road.
 It has been stated that this freight could not be handled under sixty days but the "Cat" drivers set out to show the fallacy of this and they are to be praised for the efficient manner in which they handled their machines and kept their loads moving. The round trip was made every day.

Dillingham; Merchant Makes Long Trip
 To CatchStr. Starr; 400 Miles Dog Team

J. C. Lowe, the we'll known fur buyer and merchant of Dillingham;, accompanied by his wife, arrived in Seward on the steamer Starr and are stopping at the Hotel Seward, await ing the arrival of the steamship Northwestern, on which they will go outside, visiting in Sioux City, la, Portland, San Francisco, and other cities. MT. and Mrs. Lowe will re- turn to Bristol Bay on one of the cannery boats in the Spring.
 To reach the coast, Mir. and Mrs. Lowe travelled a distance of over 400 miles by dog team, the weather being extremely cold at the time. They bought considerable furs en route, taking the steamer Starr at Kanatak. Mrs. Lowe, who was former teacher in the Sioux City, Ia., schools, declares that she enjoyed the trip immensely despite it's hard ships. The past five years she has been assisting her husband in the mercantile and fur business in the Bristol Bay district. During this pc riod, Mrs. Lowe has supervised the packing of a quarter of a million dollars worth of furs. She stated she liked the hospitable people of Bristol Bay, and finds conditions more pleasant than when she clerk ed in her fathers store in Sioux City. While Mr. Lowe is looking af ter his new stocks outside, Mrs. Lowe will visit her folks in the Iowa metropolis.
 MT. Lowe stated that fur condi- tions were good in the vicinity of Nushagak river this year, although { light fall of snow prevented trap pers from doing as well as they ! would had conditions been normal He stated that he looked for a good year in the fishing business, and l that business would be good in and around his section.
 The school at Dillingham; is mak- 1 ing good headway under the new staff, and many children are at the orphanage. At Naknek, Deputy Mar shal Flckenssein was bringing ill a number of Eskimos from down the coast, one of the number being charged with murder. MT. Lowe stated that considerable friction ex- isted in his district over alleged high-handed actions of Deputy Mar 1 shal Reed, and that residents had i signed a petition addressed to Mar shal Sullivan asking that he remedy matters . He refused to discuss the matter further than to say that the marshal's office was the center of dissatisfaction existing.
 MT. Lowe has been in this district
 the past 16 years and has seen many changes in the country. His con- pany has stores at Ekwak, Togiak, Egeshik, Kalukak and at Snag Point, he being in charge of the latter store.
 He stated that the reindeer herds
 were multiplying rapidly in the Nu- shagak and Wood River sections, and declared that the board of education
 built better than they knew when they furnished reindeer to the Els kimos. Meat is plentiful and cheap
 and at some future date cold stor- age may be operated from this sec tion.

SEARS, ROE8UCK TO SELL
COAL.

At a convention OF merchants Just held
complaint was made that a great deal
of thelr business is beiOg taken away
by mail order concerns. Formerly the
mail OF der houses catered almost alto
gether TO the rural trade, but in the last
few years they have invaded the largest
city markets and they are competing
seriously for business there in spite of
determined opposition.
The volume of business done by the
mail order concerns is now being re-
ported each month as financial news in
the city papers anu it is regarded as one
of the best indexes of the cOndI ion of
the country.
Many city people find that It is easier
to do a large part of their buying by
mail than to brave the congested traffic
of the retail shopping districts of our
cities.
Inc city merchants are meeting this
mail order competition iii various ways.
One IS 10 get their patrons INTO the habit
of ordering their purchases by phone.
The cost of doing business in cities has
increased so mucn IN recent years that ali
dealers have 60 add a much larger margin
Of profit han formerly in order to avoid
going bankrupt. The mail order concerns
can cut the margin by doing a very large
volume of business and they don't have
to have great costly stores in the retail
districts where rents are so eXOrbitant.
Inc recent venture in the mail.Older
field that is causing discussion is the an
nouncement of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
that they will sell coal direct from the
mines TO the consumers. OF course they
can't deliver in small lots; customers
must take a carload but the idea is that
several neighbours will club together
and lake d car among them. Soft coal
of different kinds is sold 10 the soft coal
territory and hard coal in the East.
The newspapers state that a saving of
81 10 S. a ton is promised. Ibid.
