A. E. C. TO INSTALL
ANCHORAGE LIGHTS
A system of street lighting for
Fourth avenue in Anchorage is to be
installed at once by the Alaskan En
gineering Commission and men have
excavated holes at the street intersec
tions for poles. A 250 candlepower
nitrogen filament lamp will be placed
over every corner from B to K streets, i
inclusive, and these lamps will be sup- i
porteit on bracket arms attached to
poles.
In conjunction with this system, the
city will at the same time install
lights on the C street hill and along j
Christensen road, both leading to
Fourth avenue. The reason Anchor- j
age cloes not staml the expense of the
Fourth avenue improvement is that
it is considered of a temporary na-j
ture. The city, however, will pay for
the current consumed.

IMPROVING ROAD
TO WILLOW CRETK
WASILLA, Aug. 24. (By Mail).—
The Alaska commission wagorn road
forces are doing splendid work on the
Willow creek road between Wasilla
and the Willow creek mines. From
mile thirty-one and a half, under su
pervision of Oscar Tryck, up to the
Mable and other mines, the road is
being changed where needed to get a
better grade, ditched and leveled up.
The work being done is of a perman
ent character. The same applies to
Carl Johnson’s force at mile nineteen,
where the road from mile fifteen at
Wasilla to that point, has been wid
ened, straightened, ditched and leveled
up and water holes sunk. The road
is in excellent shape for all kinds of
traffic between Wasilla and the Wil
low creek mines.

All-the-year-round
Boot Comfort
When the bottom drops out of the thermometer
and there’s a trail to be broken, just pull on a pair of
“Hipress” Short Boots or Leather Top “Shupaks” to
keep your feet warm and comfortable.
Keep that same pair of Shorts or ohupaks on until
the mercury hits its highest point in the summer. You'll
find them cool and comfortable. Winter or summer there
is comfort in “Hipress” because the tough, strong rubber
is practically unaffected by heat or cold.
And “Hipress” is not only comfortable, but what’s more wonderful,
it has absolutely put an end to hob-nailed half soles. P or the soles of White
“Hipress” Boots and Shoes will actually outwear steel. 1 hat may seem
impossible, but you can prove it to your own satisfaction by wearing your
first pair of White “Hipress. ”
A'k your dealer for the Boots or Shoes with the “Red Line ’round tho Top.”
- He’d give you genuine “Hipress.”
