MANY LIGHTS ARE
PLACED IN ALASKA
Department of Commerce Reports
Work Done During Year
The report of the department of
commerce shows that during the
past season forty-six aids to navi
gation were placed in Alaska wat
ers and five more are contemplated
before the cessation of work for
the winter. In addition good pio
gress was made on the new' light
and fog signal station at Cape St.
Elias on Kayak island which will
be placed in commission next seas
on.
Thirty-two flash acetylene lights
were placed at so many diferent
points.
An electric light, was placed at
Sitka harbor; a flout light on Blunt
Point, reef in Wrangel strait; an oil
lens lantern at Tenakee, in Chat
ham strait, r*ost lights at. Beck is
’ P ir Clarence strait. Rose inlet,
in Tvelak strait, and Akutan har
bor, in the Aleutian islands; beac
ons on the Fish Creek Dolphin, in
Tongass narrows; FI use point re
treat, in Lynn canal; Deep Bay en
trance, at Pearl strait, and Priest
rock, in Unalaska bay.
“Good progress was also made,”
says the report, “in the construc
tion of the now light and fog-sig
nal station at Cape St Elias, on
Kayak island. The illuminating and
fog-signal apparatus have been on
exhibition at the Panama-Pacific
international exposition at San
Francisco, and will soon be disman
tled and taken to A'nska fo>- instal
lation next season. The construc
tion party, with the exception of
a few men as watchmen and care
takers, left the cape on October
having completed during the season
all reinforced concrete work in the
tower, fog signal, storage building
and dwelling, except, the first, floor
<•'"1' of a dwelling .and a portion
of the floor in the oil room. With
favorable weather and labor cond'"
tions the station will probably be
placed in commission during the
season of 1916.
BIG ZEPPELIN ATTACK
ON LONDON PLANNED
NEW YORK, Dec. 23—,‘T be
lieve there will be another Zep
pelin attack on London within 60
days and when the raid does come
it will be bigger than anything
that has gone before and will be
j repeated night after night.”
; This prediction was made by
i Thomas R. MncMeehen, aeronautical
j engineer and president of the
Aeronautical Society of America.
He recently returned from Eng
land, where a small dirigible which
he helped design and which is In
tended to be a “torpedo boat de
stroyer of the air," is being com
pleted by a syndicate under official
British eyes.
Continuing his talk as to a Zep
pelin raid on London. MacMechen
said:
“The Germans will probably send
at least ten Zeppelins. They arc
now gathering a fleet so large that
they can aford to risk the loss of
four or five in a raid. It was be
cause they had no airships to spare
that they stopped these visitations
this fall. Now they aro nearly
ready again to strike repeated
blows—to cross the Channel in
force, as they must do to create
the amount of terror they desire.
“But England has been awaken
ed. Tig knows the game now. She
I1'" learned that. airships must be
I fought with airships. She is pre
paring in the light of what the
j war has taught her, to meet the
menace in the right way. She is
1 building dirigibles. When the
I raiders come she will not be help
less.
The ascent of aeroplanes at night
to search out and attack Zeppelins
has proved most dangerous. Nnm
bers of aviators in England, France
and Russia have been killed in
making night landings.- Moreover,
when the aeroplanes appear the
Zeppelins rise to a great height and
compell the planes to exhaust their
fuel in climbing after them. The
Zeppelin jumps to 10,000 or 12,000
feet, subjects the aeroplanes to
machine gun fire, then speeds
away.
“English and French aviators
have told me that the Zeppelins
easily elude them at night—even
when there is bright moonlight.
The British thought the Zeppelins
wouldn’t come on moonlight nights,
but they did twice and got away
unharmed.”

THEY VOTED “NIXY”
At a special election held last
Monday in Juneau to determine as
to whether the inhabitants living
adjacent to the town limits should
be included in the city of Juneau
proper, the voters of Nelson Park
Addition and the Gold Belt-Seafter
addition voted in the affirmative
while the Tideflat addition voted
\“nixy.”
It is claimed by officials that
street and other improvements will
be caried forward in the additions
which were annexed and the school
tuition will be removed, while it
will remain in force against the
Tideflat addition.
