of hot appliances, yet many people employ less effective
methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.

\ and will furnish you with the necessary heat continuously,

City Council Sends Crew to
Shovel Out Trail.
Twenty-five double-enders left Val
dez today for the interior. The W. A.
Black outfit, with ten head of stock,
loaded with feed, and the McIntosh
outfit, loaded with supplies for a num
ber of roadhouse stations, and a few
individuals trailing behind, in order
to secure the benefit of the good trail,
were among those who started.
The city council sent seven then,
under ForemaU Nelson, with tne out
fit to shovel the government road
through the canyon, which was block
ed by the recent heavy fall of snow,
starting a number of slides from the
mountain sides Into the canyon.
The crew will remain until the trail
is opened, which will be a matter
of two or three days. Teams can now
pass over the slides, but the road is
not as good as many would like to
have it and in consequence the city
ere# will shovel through all drifts and
slides.
Black is headed for Chitina and
Nelchina, while the McIntosh teams
have a number of loads for stations
along the line.

ed Sunday night near Rocky point,

He was never seen afterwards.
Hogbloom brought the boat about

but he was unable to save his com
panion. The two men were headed
for Valdez. Hemple has a brother j
who is employed at the Ellamar mine, j

RAILROAD RITES
TO BE RAISED
Massachusetts Board Tells New Ha
ven Road to Tax the Public So
as to Make Both Ends Meet.
_ I
BOSTON, Dec. 16.—The Massachu
setts Board of Railroad Commission
ers have decided that the rates for
fr ight and passenger business on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad are so low that the company
cannot make both ends meet. The
recent raise in wages to be paid by
the eastern railroads to engineers and
firemen, conductors and trainmen, has
added greatly to the burden of the
officers of the roads and they have
Insisted upon being allowed to raise
their rates, which privilege has now
been granted them by the State Com
merce Board.
The board also takes occasion to
roast the management of the road un
der former Pr sident Mellen, who left
its finances in a bad condition. The
commission state that millions of dol
lars have been lost through mis
management.
