plied tlie Explosives.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.—The
case of M. A. Schmidt, accused of

Before the gangplank is on the deck,
Joe is there your baggage to check.
He knows just where you want to go,
And his auto bus is not so slow.
When leaving Valdez it is just as well
To wait until you hear Joe’s bell.
He never yet has missed a boat
But connects with all that ever floats.
Joe never sleeps day or night,
He does his best to treat you right.
The traveling public well can bless
The man who runs the City Express.
All you do—Just Phone Eight Two,
The City Express will see you thru.

Joslin Would Bease Telegraph Bines
Falcon Joslin, the Tanana Valley
railroad president, wants to relieve
Uncle Sam of the $160,000 deficit an
nually suffered through the mainte
nance of the Alaska cable and land
telegraph lines. He believes that if
the people of Alaska get back of him
he can give the public better service
at a reduced rate and still make mon
ey where the government is losing
heavily each year as well as the ser
vices of the men. About two years
ago the railroad man offered to take
over the government lines, but the
war department would not approve of
the step, but he has announced that
he will try again, and if the govern
ment will not lease him the lines he
will try to sell the war department
his wireless plant which was built
last year at a cost of $40,000.
