Motorcycle Turns Press.
The Prospector was printed
.yesterday under great difficulties.
The power company shuld own at
■noon and renewed the service at
‘2, then they broke down at 3 and
were unable to furnish power un
til late last nigh-t. The paper was
issued with the aid of Owen
Meals, who brought his motor
cycle to the composing room and
while he made considerable noise
and caused the room to smell like
a garage, yet he turned the' big
press, thus saving the lives of the
members of the Prospector staff,
who had tried the Bohunk hand
power the day before and they do
not like it. The big press can be
turned with a small handle to be
attached l<* the press, but the
editor will be hanged if the town
don’t go paperless to bed before
he will break his back turning
the crank again.
Notice to Odd Fellows.
Valdez Lodge No. 6, I. O. O. F. has
decided to turn out on the Fourth in
regalia, at the request of the presi
dent of the Pioneers, consequently
evers Odd Fellow is requested to be
at the hall at 9:30 a. m., July 4th
sharp. As many of the members are
out of town for the season it is par
ticularly desired that all Odd Fellows
make a special effort to be on hand
so that we can make as good a show
ing as possible, for the town as well
as for the order.
