PURPLE BUBBLE BALL
 HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL LOCAL DANCE AFFAIR

SewarditeS frollicked, rollicked, and otherwise made merry at the long anticipated Purple Bubble Ball given by the local Bills Club, B. P. o. E., Saturday night.
 Under a sea of purple bubbles floating over their heads in the gorgeouSly decorated ball room, dancers waited, whirled, swung their partners in waltzes, fox trots, Rhinelanders, Three Steps and many speciality numbers.
 The Jolly Three orchestra out performed themselves, rendering syncopating strains until early hours in the morning.
 The Ball, readily classed as one of the most enjoyable social af- fairs held in the city in many months, was, declared success from every standpoint. Immense ly impressive were the numerous pretty gowns worn by the ladies, which caused the occasion to riv- al Easter Sunday in this respect.
 Greatly enjoyed by the large attendance were the special danc- es pleasingly internlingled thru out the dancing program by Floor Manager William Abbott.
 
 One of the features, a pretty Rye Waltz, revealed that at least two couples, Mrs. Tolbom and L: Urbach, and Miss Maude Larson and Raymond. Manthey, are cap- able of rendering the exquisite steps interpreting this quaint but popular dance.
 The Seward Elks', especially the committee who handled the Ball. 1 are to be congratulated. Come again, Bills!

 AN OBJECT LESSON
 Sailing Sheltered Seas to Alaska" is the title of folder recently issued for distribution by the Alas ka Steamship Company. It is not easy to compile and publish commercial prospectus that will har1nonize in every detail with the meritorious service of that pioneer line and at the time faithfully portray in words and pictures the boundess scenic grandeur of Alaskan landscape which stands colossal monument to the cataclysmc forces that wracked her in early geoog cal times One unalterable and ancient heritage; the other mans contribution to science and human well fare. One is instrument of public service the other a mysterious unit of the great cosmos
 Too often our aesthetic sense of beauty space and time is dulled by forces of circumstance and forgetfu creeps into our lives trundle down the path The Alaska Steamship Companys beautiful folder presses exqusely idea of constructive publicity.

 The Alaska Steamship Company has given us an object lesson to be needed by every thinking and woman
 As peruse the pages of their beautiful folder we lind 1t hard to believe that legislators sit idly by and Alaska shufle along in the year 1881 like crab at tempo set by the dead hand of government con- trol If shot in the arm will awaken us from our leth argc sleep, lets have it.
 Alaska needs honest to- goodness publicity bur- to supplement the valuable work of the Alaska Steamship Company sister lines. We may despair at times but will continue to harp on the point until get it.
 There is no truth in the report that Anchorage is petitioning Washington to have the William Henry Sew ard Memorial and Museum built in that city instead of Seward
 
 Now if John w. Eddy, Seattle capitalist who, last year in company with Joshua Green hunted big game trophies in Africa for the University of Washington will come to Alaska and do likewise the picture will be complete.
 Advertising in The Seward Gateway is not guar anteed to sell your goods but it will probably help if they are upto-date merchandise and something that the people want to buy Advertising will speed up sales by reminding buyers: it will not and should not compel anybody to buy what they do not want

Probe Grain Price
At LakOta Meeting

Lakota, N. D., Sept. 23.-R-In an
effort to reach an understanding re-
garding grain prices being paid in
Lakota by old-line elevators as COM
pared to prices paid In other towns in
this vicinity, 100 farmers and others
conferred here with elevator repre-
sentatives at q meeting last night
called by the Lakota Lions club.
The elevator men said durum wheat
bought here. especially in 1881, was of
such inferior quality It brought small
er premiums than durum purchased
in the neighboring districts. They
urged more careful growing methods
and offered to buy pure durum seed
and sell 1t on a cost basis.
The Lions Investigating committee
reported one elevator in q neighbor-
ing town paid substantial premiums
for Lakota durum and has shown q
good profit on every car shipped.

ALEXANDER Hamilton" the Warner
Bros. drama starring George Arliss
which comes to the Paramount The
atre Wednesday and Thursday, does
not dwell on the brilliant statesman
ship Of the financial genius of the
first Secretary Of the Treasury-but
on the common humanity which
made him the dupe, temporarily. Of
one Of the cleverest adventuresses Of
all time-Mary Reynolds.
Indirectly this fascinating woman
influenced the brilliant leader who
at the time was largely responsible
for the future of the republic. Among
great problems Of the time was the
choice of q site for the national cap
ital, the establishment of national
credit and the question Of govern
mental assumption Of revolutionary
war debts.
To clear his name from false
charges Of dishonesty, Hamilton
frankly laid bare his part In the Rey-
nolds affair, leaving judgment to
men whom he knew r. of like
passions with himself. This is one of
the most dramatic scenes of the alb
sorbing play-which gives Mr. Ar
lisS his most superb role.

was not officially ended until April II of the
next year.
The country again settled down to period
of peace and prosperity, the Aprils passed one
by one-19 of them. Then came April, 1917, and
we were plunged into the greatest of all wars,
the World War. The Central Powers Of Eu-
rope had been at war with each other since
1914, but in January, 1917, Germanty started
her famous unrestricted submarine warfare,
which inperiled American vessels Of all kinds.
The European situation became more and more
serious and on April 2, 1917, President Wilson
called an extra session of Congress. for already
eight United States vessels had been torpedoed
and 4S American lives had been lost. On
Aprns6. 1917, Congress passed a resolution de-
claring that o state Of war existed between
Germany and the United States. The World
War belongs to this generation; its tragedies
and -triumphs are 50 well known that it Is
not necessary to chronicle its events here
From this short summary it Is easy to see
that the fateful month Of April has witnessed
the start Of more wars, fires, earthquakes and
shipwrecks in the United States than any other
month Of the year. A careful study of the
history Of the other nations Of the world shows
that this fact is peculiar to America only.
This strange fact, however has its advantage,
in that it makes historical events easy to re-
member when we can pin so many fatal dates
In our history on the month of April.

dent Lincoln called for $4,000 volunteers and
civil war in American started in earnest.
For four long years the North and South
fought each other, then came another April
This time Gen. Lees army was without food
and ammunition much as Mai. Anderson had
been at Fort Sumter Lee had retreated from
Richmond to Appomattox Court House, where
he surrendered TO Gen. Grant on April 9,
1855. The Civil War, like the War Of the
Revolution, had begun In April and it ended
I'm April.
April, 1865, started as a month of rejoicing,
everybody was glad the long, hard war was
over, the Southerners were even allowed TO
take their horses home to start the Spring
plowing But the spirit Of peace lasted only
days. On April IA President Lincoln was
assassinated in Washington, and for some time
afterWard the country was in q most deplorable
condition. Andrew johnson Of Tennessee i'm
mediately took the oath of office as Presi-
dent, but both Congress and the Lincoln cab
met were hostile to him. The President was
finally impeached and the trial took up the
entire month Of April, 1866, but Johnson's
enemies in the Senate lacked one vote of hav-
ing the necessary two-thirds to convict him.
These were the dark days of the carpetbaggers,
the scalawags, and the ghostly Klu Klux Khan.
Finally the period of the reconstruction
passed and the country became happy and
prosperous once more. Peace reigned until
April, 1898, when the United States entered
into another war. Ever since the discovery of
Cuba, by Columbus, the island had belonged
to Spain But the CubanS had been oppressed
by heavy taxes and cruel treatment, and there
had been many instructions and revolutions.
American sympathy was on the side of the
Cubans; they were not only our next-door
neighbor, but Americans owned large planta-
tons Of sugar and tobacco on the island which
had been ruined by guerrilla warfare in the
instruction of 1895.
ON February IS, 1898 the American battle
ship Maine was blown up in Havana Har-
Dor while she was anchored there on a friendly
visit, and 260 men went down with the ship.
Yet, despite the fact that public sentiment in
the United States demanded war with Spain,
actual warfare was not declared until after
President Mckinley sent his famous message
to Congress declaring that, in the name of
humanity, the war in Cuba ought to stop
Then on April 10, 1898, on the anniversary
Of the battle of Lexington and also of the
first bloodShed of the Civil War, Congress
passed series of resolutions which amounted
to a virtual declaration of war against Spain
That started the Spanish American War. A
few months later Cuba was Free but war
