POWER PLANT IS
NOW IN VALDEZ
,_ i
Quinn Brings the Generator
From Across the Bay.
Start Tonight He Says
Superintendent- Tom'.Quinn, of the
Alaska .Water, Light & Telephone
Company, started with a crew of men
shortly after midnight, Saturday, to
bring the big generator from the lies
power house on the beach at Solo
mon gulch to the plant of the com
pany on the Valdez dock.
The big generator was brought
across the bay last night by Captain
Morrison on one of his lighters and
the men worked all night trying to
install the machine and hope to finish
and have the power generator work
ing early this evening.
The company will surrender to a
representative of Alfred B. lies the
plant on the beach which has been
leased by the company for the past
five years.
As soon as possible the new power
plant- in Solomon basin will be used.
The generator ordered early last
spring and the pelton wheel, both of
which were made to order, have not
reached Valdez, although they were
shipped from the factories a month
ago.
The steam plant on the dock will be
used until the water power can be
harnessed, after which the company
will have a larger plant than ever,
with all the lates fixings.
CYflICS.
• (By George Fitch.)
A cynic is a man who is from
Missouri, but can’t lie shown.
Cynicism is the first stop to
wards wisdom. All boys are
cynics. They are too intelligent J
to believe anything their parents
tell them. But some keel* right
on being cynics for the rest of J
their lives.
After a man lias become a
chronic cynic, it is impossible
for mankind to fool him with any
pretended virtues. The cynic is
sn wise ihat lie sees through
virtue as if il was a screen door. |
To the cynic piety is a parade, I
hoiiesly is a bargaining for a j
higher price, decency is hypoc- I
risy, and philanthropy is high
class advertising. George Wash
ington, according to I lie cynic,
told the frillli because tlie cir-.
ciimstanl ial ev idence was over
whelming. Benedict Arnold was
the man who got first chance al
British gold, and Abraham was
looking for the 'colored vole
when in* freed the slaves. Non
can’t fool the cynic with any of
those old Bible stories, either.
Tell him I lie sfory of Hie loaves
and lislies, and lie will smile
knowingly and say luni any mod
el'll woman can make a thousand
sandwiches foe an afternoon re
ception out of a loaf of bread and
a can of salmon.
According to the cynic, reform
is always l,he effect of the outs to
get in, and heroism is generally
recognized as good advertising'.
The goodness of woman depends
upon the credulity of man and
the honesty of man upon the lack
of oppurl,unity, if a man has
'held office all his life and died
penniless, the foolish world may
he impressed, hut tile cynic* only
smiles and says that some men
have (o lie bought, hut, that oth
ers can Ik* fooled into voting.
The cynic doubts mother love,
laughs at, repentance and 'is tin*
only man who can see through
unselfishness, and liml the hog
gish aim behind it. Hut the cyn
ic can always be fooled in one
way. Tell the cynic that he is
wiser than other men and he will
not only believe you, but will fall
down and worship you. That is
why so many cynics are married
to designing woineri, and come
to terrible^emls.
