 Of course the ordinary office furn- iture, such as desks, safe, Burroughs adding machine, typewriters, etc., are to be found in the plant.
 The personnel of the paper includes H. V Hoben and H. B. Selby, proprie tors and managers, T. J. Selby, assis- tant manager and foreman, Wm. Wolf gram, machine man and compositor. B. F! lessen, advertising manager and reporter; Miss Rasmussen, collec- tor and solicitor, and one devil and four carriers and sellers. In all the Gateway employs nine persons, mak- Ing a considerable payroll for the town.
 The town of Seward is one of the best newspaper fields in Alaska, as is evidenced by this edition. Consid- erable advertising was turned down from Anchorage and westward towns, as it was desired to make this purely Seward and vicinity issue.
 With the limited amount of help at hand, and the many drawbacks from being so far from our source of SUD- plies we believe that you will agree with us that it is one of the best edi- tions ever issued in Alaska, and one that only plant like the Gateway could issue, and handle an eight-page daily paper and a considerable amount of commercial work at the same time.
 Whatever the merits of this issue the merchants of Seward, and not the Gateway, are responsible for the credit.

AERONAIJTICS
 IN ALASKA
By JAMES c. LANGLEY

Airships and airplane lines have made rapid strides the past year in every part of Alaska Seward was "a port of the round the world fly CTS, and of other airplanes prospect ing the coast as far as Bristol Bay. Anchorage has land field that is a credit to that progressive inlet city, and Fairbanks has an operating con- mercial service with one Fokker and two smaller machines, rendering a very satisfactory service inland. Fairbanks is also the northern base of the Alaska Airship Company, an organization of prominent Alaskans favorable to the Dirigible airship. Seward is the southern base of this organization whose principal plans are laid from Anchorage where the general office is located.

Airships are peculiarly adapted to Alaskan conditions, being able to stand in the air in fog and to slow speed landings. Capt. Amundsen has always said that Dirigibles would car ry over the pole, and the world is looking forward to the Rome to Nome dirigible airship trip of the coming May. Twenty passengers, including Capt. Amundsen and Co.,, Nodile, de- signer and contractor of the ship, which is known as the Type N will leave Spitzbergen for Nome about May 29, next. This ship will be re- named the Norge" and the trip is sponsored by the Norwegian Govern ment who have great confidence in Capt. Roald Amundsen and have SUD- ported his previous undertakings.
 Nome is therefore in position to welcome the first dirigible airship

 which also turns the Brown folder,
 an intricate machine used for folding, trimming and pasting the papers. This folder will handle any class of work from two 6x9 pages to seven column
 quartO newspaper.
 A large bookpress for bookbindery
 work, with sewing bench and clamps, is in one corner of the room, with work table conveniently near. Here the padding, jogging, binding, and folding are done. A 24-inch Rosback perforator, Portland punch, with doz- ems of round holes, open hole, oblong and slit heads, and a power stitcher, taking from three sheets to an inch are found on the other side of the room lined up ready to pass the work from one to another. The Piper 32-inch rul- ing machine, the only machine of the kind north of Juneau, occupies a posi- tion between the jobbers and bindery machinery. This is used in blank book and loose leaf work.
 Seven large imposition stones are ranged along the walls with two cabi nets, cut cabinets, lead and slug racks, furniture and reglet cabinets, and 70 pounds of labor saving rule are found convenient to the job stones. A Su- perior saw is on the floor near the imposing stones, used for trimming castings, cutting slugs, mitering bor- ders, etc., one of the most convenient machines in the shop.
 The Gateway has IS fonts of mats for it's linotypes, comprising from five to 36 point. These big machines arc a revelation in themselves, doing the work of large number of men, ex- peditiously and we'll. Thousands of

 At this time the paper was located in the old Sauers building, and shortly after the Arcade was built, the equip ment was moved to the lower floor of that commodious and comfortable

 IN THE TERRITORY TODAY
Paper Started in 1904 by Frank L. Baane and Associates Has Grown Tremendously Since It's Natal Day Commercial Printing, Bookbnding, Embossng
 Among Finished Products of Shop

The first issue of the Seward Gate way was published in 1904, Frank L.. Rallaine. one of the promoters of the Alaska Central Railroad, and promo ter of the townsite of Seward, being the owner of the paper, and man named Kemp it's first editor. The pa per at this time was hand set and four columns, four-pages in size, being printed on a hand press. News at this time was confined to the happenings of the district and such news as might trickle in from transient visitors and upon the arrival of steamships or sail ing vessels in port. There was no cable at this time, and no telegraphic communication with the States. MT. Kemp edited the Gateway for the Bal laine interests for some time, being succeeded by L. F. Shaw for short period, he being followed by E. E. Ritchie, a rising young lawyer from Utah, and now United States District Judge for the Third division. Mr. Ritchie was a man of great newspaper ability and held down the position for a number of years, later removing to Valdez, where he took over the paper at that place, later relinquishing the situation to practice his chosen pro- fession. He was succeeded on the Gateway by Judson & Stewart, who ran the paper until Frank J. Cotter took chance at it, being succeeded by Stone and McGrath, in 1913 or 1914.
 In 1915 the Post, rival publication was started by man named Sawyer, who published the paper until it sus- pended and was merged with the Gateway. Stone and McGrath remain ed at the head of the Gateway until it suspended operations, F. B. Ramp, the poet and globe trotter, taking over it's management as weekly paper.

 landing field suitable for all kind of aircraft. A mooring mast is con- templated at Nome to be completed
 in time for the arrival of the great dirigible. Fairbanks also is quietly ar ranging mooring mast for dirigibles and but for the fact that previous ef- forts of Capt. Amundsen had been intimately related with Nome, the coming over the top next spring would
 be to Fairbanks, which is consider able nearer to the pole and to the corresponding meridian from which the ship takes off on the other side. However, an invitation has already been forwarded Capt. Amundsen and
 Col. Mobile and their distinguished
 crew, which includes Lincoln Ells- worth, the American, and Dietrichsen and other members of Capt. Amund- sens airplane effort of the spring of 1925. There will also be a num- Der of Danish and Norwegian scien- lists. All are expected to call at Fairbanks if mast is provided in time and it is planned to either deflate the giant dirigible and send it to the United States or it may be flown there after the official land ing at Nome depending en-

N. Meridian st.
Although f1remen estimated the
damage at $4,000, it was feared IT
might reach $4,000. The proprie.
tors, S. and X. Ashjian, were check.

rugs had been damaged. 1t was
said one rug at the place was valued
at $4,000, and another at $4,000.
The fire started in the drying
room of the two-story frame building
at $40 a. m. and ate it's way into
the office and the storage room.
Firemen fought the blaze for three
hours. The alarm was answered
by eight wagons. six trucks and two
squads.
Two delivery trucks in the rear
of the building were burned. Fire
men had difficulty keeping the
flames from a 100-gallon tank Of
gasoline that was buried.
Efforts to estimate the damage
were difficult because in some cases
ordinary rugs could not be dis
tinguished from Oriental rugs after
the flames had damaged them.

Stephenson Restless
According to reports, Stephenson

without extra linen or clothing is
taken as an indication he believed
his stay there would be brief.
