Dear Readers; Will you pardon the Gateway again? Some filthy little lies have recently been told about it. When a man misquotes another in print he is worse than a man who merely misquotes him verbally. The latter may In* guilty from haste but the other is a down right falsifier. Ami this paper has been misquoted in print recently. The Gateway published the neus as it receives it. It has the greatest and best telegaphic service in Alaska outside of Juneau and as good as any Juneau paper has. It never has to stoop to the disgusting practise of faking news. It prefers to pay a good, hig sum for its service and in this it is different from many others. Only last Saturday the leading “news” in an other paper told how Lord Derby made a speech in tho house of lords and that “Premier Asquith was pre.-ont and made a short reply.” This is faked new.- pure and simple. Remember, that this is only said in self defense. The Gateway scorns anyth a m the shape of wrangling until it is placed on the defence and must protect t olf. Several attempts to cause it to enter into a squabble have boon ignored. It declines to be undtgmhed enougn 10 labb 09. It wishes to give the best and most reliable news b it at the time an attack was made on it was the very time the attacker con tained this “story** a .out Premier Asquith making a speech in the house of lords. This one little examp » is being used because it is so easy to prove the fake. Premier Asquith i> a plain “commoner" and is only a member of the house of commons. He could not speak in the house of lords so the ignorance of the faker, it; this case and many others, gives the fake away. Hut that is only one iit'.Ie example of how purchasers of so-called newspapers can be deceived and hoodwinked and fooled. The (Gateway will try once more to ignore ill-bred and envious remarks. Let us hope we shall have patience enough to d*3 so. The complete and sudden ending of navigation in Cook Inlet for the year is to be regrett* 1 for the sake of Anchorage. The closing up of the water road to Anchorage at this time of the year is going to prove to the government and to the world that tor nearly halt the year anyhow, bow aid mu. t be regu’ded as the only possible terminal of the government railroad. The fact that so nuu h freight is unable to get into Anchorage shows that sonw shippers, the Fngineeriiu- Commission included, were deceived by the mild weather < ? last year and look* ir a longer season of navigation. No cue can be blamed for t ;is. It looks as though the weather gods had some thing against b’ewaid or the Democratic administration or something and made last winter mild purposely. From this time forward it will be at least mildly interesting to Seward people to observe the effects which the closing of the Inlet navigation will have on this city.

Why he committed the rash act no one knows as he left nothing, so far as is known, to indicate that he had | any troubles. The shooting took place shortly after 7 o’clock, and notwithstanding the fact that the bullet passed through his head and about 28 feet from his body, Skofland lived until 0:20 passing away at St. Joseph’s hospital after everything possible had been done to save his life. Skofland was about 33 years of age, a native of Mandal Amt, Norway, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, of light ! complexion, with clear skin, and smoothly shaven. The Suicide Shortly after 6:30 last evening. Skofland walked into the California saloon, stood in front of the bar for, a couple of minutes, and calling an-, other man up, bought a drink for both of them. He was not drunk and had "hoV been drinking to excess, as he showed no signs of the least in toxication. Leaving the man with whom he was talking, Skofland walked to the rear of the large poolroom and, turn I ing to the left, took the last seat in a long row of chairs standing near the wall. As the lights in the room were not turned on, it was rather i dark where he was sitting, and no particular attention was paid to him. Pat Megan, of Graehl, who was sit ting about six seats away from Skof land, happened to turn toward the unfortunate man just in time to see him put the revolver to his head and tire the fatal shot. As soon as Hegan saw him put the i revolver to his head he jumped to nis feet and started toward Skof land, but not in time to prevent him from pulling the trigger. No sooner had the shot been fired than Hcgen had the revolver in his hand, wrest ing it from the injured man.—Times. The papers are poking fun at an Iditarod schoolma’am because she writes poetry and teaches school. After reading some of the effusions emanated by poetic aspirants, it is a source of wonderment that poetry and brains can occupy the same cranium.—Valdez Miner. ■ Wanted: to rent, a piano. Gateway. FR4NK J. COTTER, Prop. * SEWARD, ALASKA DAUGHTER OF IDITAROD MAN WEDS THE MAN OF HER CHOICE SEATTLE, Oct. 17.—Miss Irene Rudd, daughter of Albert Rudd, the well known mining man of Iditarod, Alaska, was married here today to Ernest Scherman, of Ellensburg, i Washington. The couple eloped from Ellensburg. They stated after their marriage that the parents of both objected to the wedding on account of the youth of both parties. Seen by a reporter a few moments after she was wedded to the young man of her choice, Mrs. Scherman said: “I don’t think I am too young to get married, do you ? I wonder what papa will say! Oh, yes, he’s away up in Alaska. Yes, I’m going back there myself next summer if Erny will go, as 1 like to be near papa.” For the present the young couple will make their home at Ellensburg, where the groom has lucrative em ployment. MARSHAL RENDERS REPORT FAIRBANKS—The report of the lT. S. Marshal’s office for the quarter ending October 1, was rendered to the court and accepted last week. It shows that the expenditures of the office during the quarter were $6«V :I62.06, as compared with an expendi ture of $49,729.51) during the Septem ber quarter of 1914. The increase r* explained by the fact that $17,0d7.10 was paid out during the quarter just reported upon as salaries of federal officials. The expenditures of the quarter were therefore smaller this year than last.—Ex.
