Nome, Alaska,
 February 13, 1882.

feoruary 13, 1932. Seward Gateway:
 "A copy of your valued paper, published under date of November q, 1881, has just been received. My particular attention was att tracted by your editorial entitled, Candidates and Roads I want to say to you, that this is the best article I ever read pertaining to the need of roads in Alaska, and par ticularly this division. I therefore take the liberty of complimentng you on the courage, good judg- ment interest and frankness dis played in bringing to the attention of the people of Alaska the dire need of roads.
 Tn my opinion, 90 per cent of the citizens realize that this article fits our condition exactly I am in constant touch with the miners and prospectors, who are trying to open up our section of the coun- try Incidentally have spent many thousands of dollars myself feel that 1 am well qualified to advo- cate roads, and more roads, the better.
 Seward Peninsula has many hundreds of creeks, that were mined in the early days with pick and shovel, and only the richest pay extracted therefrom. These same creeks will yield a handsome profit if worked by our modern cheap power dredgeS. Many of these creeks are producing already, where transportation costs are not prohibitive, but the major portion of them, account of lack of roads, remain dormant.
 We blame the members of the Legislature of the Second Division for being instrumental in passing the 1919 Sessions Act, authorizing the Alaska Road Commission ito spend our road money simply to create jobs for their friends, in stead of spending it for the benefit of the Territory Previous to that time, the Alaska Road Commission in this Division did not own any road building equipment, but hired most of their work done by local people, with local equipment, and were accomplishing considerable road building until after the pas sage of this act. They started buy ing their own equipment and the result is very little roads have been built by them, since that time, mostly politics. The money seems simply to disappear without any results.
 Getting back to your editorial, you say approximately 30 per cent of our road funds go for overhead From close observation in our Division, would say SO per cent goes for overhead: in every other respect your editorial, in my hum ble opinion is commensurate with our needs and I have also heard many opinions expressed, substan- tiating this.
 Please inclose find list of names of new subscribers, with Postoffice money order to cover"
 7 PSI have just received your weekly papers dated January 2 and 16. In regard to your editor ial, Aftermath of Legislation" and Unreasonable and IrresponSi- ble," these three articles are surely the truth and nothing but the truth, and surely hits the nail on the head; please keep up the good work and we will try and do like wise. I am enclosing you a couple of letters written by old-time pros pectors and miners, which speak for themselves, just to show you and substantiate your arguments.

WESTERN ALASKA COASTAL CENTERs
 IN NEED SCHOOLS
DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT RELATES DETAILS OF
 TIDAL WAVE

A first-hand account of the great tidal wave which swept the west. ern coast of Alaska from the KuS- kokWim delta to the northern mouth of the Yukon river, on De- cember 8 and g, was related to The Gateway by Clark M. Garber, dis trict superintendent for the Bu- reau of Indian Affairs, AHak, who since has left for the South on the SS Yukon
 The native villages were hard hit. Great blocks of ice were car. ried on the gigantic waves, crush ing iglooS, cabins and fish caches, sweeping inland 10 to 15 miles.
 Water came in the iglooS to a depth of four and five feet, forcing the occupants to escape through the roofs and not giving them time to save their effects.
 Everyone sought refuge in the government schools and buildings or on high knolls.
 In giving an idea of the sudden. ness of the flood, Garber said that ten dogs were drowned before they could be unhitched from their sled.
 Garber said that at Eek and at Apokok on the KuskokWim the flood came at night, adding to the terror He stated that the local officials are caring for the natives and have driven reindeer to the area and butchered.
 Commercial fishing stations were carried inland bodily for several miles, and about one-half of $8,000 worth of material for the school house, unloaded last fall, was wash ed away.
 He estimated the tide or waves reached points 30 feet above the normal high tide stage; the water rose at the rate of three feet an hour About 5000 people were af fected
 Many New Schools
 Referring to departmental activ- itieS, Mir Garber, another one of those highly educated young col lege men, and a former professor. whom are devoting their lives to missionary educational work in the far-flung corners of the world, said that in the past three years 10 new modern school houses and one new hospital, the latter at Mountain Village on the lower Yu- kon, have been built.
 However, it is the intent to con- struct 16 more schools in the west ern district, extending cooperation educational service to all the na- tiveS. The present enrolment is about TOO but with the new build ings, an additional TOO will be cared for. A bill, calling for an appro- priation of these schools, is now before Congress for consideration and approval.
 Another hospital is needed, Mir Garber added, at Bethel on the Kuskokwim, to especially care for tubercular patients, with at least a 3O-bed tubercular ward and a 16-bed general ward.
 Radio reception from station KFQD, Anchorage, is excellent and is awaited with eagerness by all each evening.
 This is the first leave of absence for Mr. Garber since his arrival in Alaska eight years ago with the department. He will visit his par ents in the East, than pay semi official trip to Washington, D. C., returning North in about three months.

St Mary's hospital suffering from a fractured leg. William Quinlan. 19 School street and Christopher Luddy of 127 Greenmount terrace suffered painful decorations. Mrs Mary Massonet of 30 Fuller street was taken to the hospital also suf- fering from decorations about the legs. She was a passenger in a car driven by her son-in-law. Mi chael Izzo of 30 Fuller street.
 Izzo was travelling east on Lib erty street when his machine col- lided with a car driven by Adolph J. Bendlar of 40 Pine street, Sey- mour. The two cars were in the center of ther intersection and the drivers were endeavoring to straighten out matters when Bar low came along in his truck and ploughed into the group of specta- tors. His machine came to a standstill after crashing against Bendlar's machine.
 After the Basta lad, Mrs Masso- net. Quinlan and Luddy were taken away for treatment, Barlow was locked up on the charge of vio- lating the motor vehicle law.

for the democratic presidential candidate. The regular conservative republican candidate for governor, Walter J. Kohler, the bathtub manufacturer, is regarded as hav- ing a reasonable chance.
 There is no doubt, that Hoover | is very much out of favor in Wis consin," one report stated. "The republican movement for Kohler recognizes this fact to such an ex- tent that the Hoover campaign and the Kohler campaign are being conducted by two separate organ izations. In other words, MT Koh- Ter doesn't try to carry Hoover along with him."
 The fact that Kohler defeated Governor Philip LaFollette in the primary is not regarded as an indi- cation that the state has gone con- servative or that there has been any increase in sentiment for MT Hoover. The situation depends somewhat on the attitude the La- Follettes decide to take toward the national race. They always have been anti-Hoover but they have not indicated whether they will support Roosevelt who must have progressive votes to carry the state,

The move, it was explained, Is to show people that Hartford is not a. place to which they can come and receive aid while they are entitled to charity in their own respective communities. :.
 Superintendent of Public Welfars Downey of this city said that Wa. terbury does not practice this plana Instead, families holding legal res-i idences elsewhere and now resid~ ing in Waterbury are cared for here. The bills for their mainten- ance, however, are sent to the .towns from whence they come. So' far, MT Downey said this morning the billings from this city to other communities have been honored. Only in a few scattered eases has it been necessary to send families back to their own towns or cities.
