A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

The past year has been prosperous one for Seward. Many buildings have been erected, including the TeckIenberg Block, Oges garage and several residences and business conditions have steadily improved. But business failure has been recorded, and this removal to another city, on account of that particular branch being overdone. The stork has been busy, usual, and the Grim Reaper has touched us lightly.
 And the New Year is fraught with still greater promise Other new buildings contemplated, and the pulp mill engineers will undoubtedly be with us before the end of the present month Work on the glacier stream involving many thousands of dol lars is contemplated considerable railroad work, n- cluding the cutting of thousands of ties Is under way, and the local mining district gives promise of considerable activity The San Juan company will also prepare for larger halbut business and many new boats will appear in port. When one consd- CTS that this company purchased million and half pounds of halibut last season, the immensty of the fishing business here will be better understood.
 The Gateway also has many Improvements der way among which is the starting today of the Associated Press service with its thousands of agents in the states working in conjunction with the Alas ka papers. The past year has been good one for The Gateway, owing to the liberal patronage of citizens. We have increased from four to eight pages and have added several thousand dollars in machinery and type faces. In case our patron age continues The Gateway management will give Seward one of the best papers ill the Territory and one which will be valuable asset to the town. AL ready our payroll we'll thousand dol lars per month and to keep this large plant going requires unflagging energy and nremitting toil
 One of the best assets the town show for the past year is better spirit and cooperation and civic pride. Many of the petty jeaousies and quar- rels of former years have been smoothed out, and our people working better together than for many years past. Nothing succeeds like amity and good will in community, and one of the first reso lutions that should be made by every citizen is to stop talking about each other, resolve that your fellow is mighty good citizen and neghbor, and help smooth out the rough spots in his daily path. Seward will then grow into something worth while Envy and malice have no place in the hearts of a busy man or woman, and the canker of disoya- ty should be eradicated from the body polite.
 Seward is good place to live, and is daily growing better. Let this year find us in the van of every projected improvement, and already go down to line unanimously for each other.
 We wish our readers happy and prosperous New Year.

THE VALUE OF FISH HATCHERIES

One of the questions being discussed at present is the value of fish hatcheries says the Prince Ru- pert News,s of Prince Rupert B. C., aditorially There is located at Lakelse Lake almost one hun dred miles from Prince Rupert, so people of this district vtally interested in the matter. A great deal of money has already been spent in equip ment for the hatchery there we'll for those at other points in the Province and the annual upkeep costs lot. If the work is in vain 1t is time we knew 1t so that the expense may be Topped off. If the hatcheries really efficient they should be kept working to the limit.
 While most of the interested in fish cul- ture declare that the work of the hatcheries is very important, many cannerymen declare they are use- less. It is understood, too that w. A. Found, Di- rector of Fisheries for Canada is not at all satis- fled of the utility of the work done by the hatch cries. His opinion in regard to the value in other branches of the fisheries has been proved to be cor

CHICAGO, April 17.-"American-
it's is causing 100000 preventable
deaths yearly in this country, DR..
William S. Sadler, nationally known
physician, asserted yesterday in a re-
port to the Gorgas Memorial 1nsti-
tute. The report claimed confirma-
ton for the first time of 1.-The hitherto
only suspected fact" that more Amer
leans are dying from heart disease,
Bright's disease, apoplexy and high
blood pressure between the ages of 40
and so years than any other white
people.
"Americanitis" is the name DIR.
Sadler applied to the whole group of
conditions which he believes respon-
sible for needless loss of life
THE hurry, hustle and incessant
drive of the American temperament is
responsible for this peculiar and char
acteriStic American mortality increase
during the dangerous age period, be-
tween 40 and so years." reported DIR.
Sadler, whose conclusions are based
on more than 20 years study of the
death rate among men and women
subjected to high-pressure living.
This distinctly American phenome-
non can be remedied only by teaching
the public that heart disease, Bright s
disease, apoplexy and high blood pres
sure can be checked, and at least so
per cent of the 400, 900 such deaths
prevented by proper medical advice in
the early stages, when these diseases
are practically symphonies.

DETECTIVE BUREAU
ASKS : MORE MEN
Unusual Activity of Light.
Fingered Crew Calls for
& Larger Force.

Faced with unusual activity on the
part of the nght-fngered gentry of
Washington and the more sinister
activities of armed bandits and
murderers, Chief of Police Daniel
Sullivan is considering the addition
of at least five more men to the
detective force to handle the extra
work made necessary by the recent
increase in crime. Inspector Grant
chief of detectives. told Maj. Sullivan
today that five more men are needed
in the Detective Bureau.
Part of the difficulty, it was ex-
planned, arises from the observance
of the law requiring that each man
be given one day off in seven. In
order to comply with requirements,
detectives are shifted from their
regular assignments and placed in
charge of the force at night, making
It almost impossible for them to give
proper attention to assignments of
crime investigation.
In addition to the day off each week.
the men are entitled to their regular
annual leave of 20 days, 10 days less
than that allowed other District
employees.
Transfer Difficult.
During the conversation between
NtAS E'OAANV NiIlClS,y the lSSeSlloh WAS
made that five precinct detectives be
transferred to headquarters for duty.
ThlS could not be done, it was found
without taking from the men the
extra compensation of $40 a month
given them for precinct detective
work.
Congress may be appealed to for
an appropriation for at least five ad-
dlt1onal men, unless a way is found
out of the dilemma during the Sum-
mer.
Reports of robberies committed the
past few weeks have been so numer-
Gus, it was said, that members of
Inspector Grants force have found
1t difficult TO keep pace with them and
give each report the consideration it
merits. For this reason many of the
smaller theftS have been referred to
the precinct detectives.
Many Thefts Reported.
Reports of money, jewelry and
clothing thefts the past few days
have involved the taking of property
valued at from 5000 to $500. a dozen
such instances having occurred the
past week or 10 days. Mrs. Marie
Tompkins, 610 Third street, the
heaviest loser, was robbed of her
savings, $500, she had hidden in a
clock.
+. ]. Hollis, 216 Linworth place
southwest, was robbed of $500 in cash,
a watch and chain and checks. Other
heavy losers included Roy c. Bowker,
