SAYS TOLOVANA
REMINDS HIM OF
PIONEER DAYS
, “It reminds me of early days.”
The foregoing statement was made
last night by (leorge Hutchinson,
cashier of the First Nat l, bank, who
has just returned from a visit to the
Tolovana country. He was speaking
in reference to Livelihood creek, the
light limit of which, he says, is lined
with dumps serving a." a reminder to
the average oldtimor of the early days
of Fairbanks, now gone forever, ex
cept insofar as they return in the
shape of a camp like the Tolovana.
Mr. Hutchinson estimates that the
output of the Tolovana country dur
ing the coming mining season will be
between a million and a million and
a quarter. There will be between
twenty-five and thirty out tits operat
ing there during the entire summer,
and all are now working in good
money, with good prospects that it
will hold out.
Ann creek is the scene of the new
est excitement, according to Mr.
Hutchinson.. Several outfits are work
• ing there, and all have good pros
pects. including A1 and Fred I'auli.
who have found good prospects on
their ground. Whether or not Amy
contains a continuous paystreak. how
ever, has not been ascertained, al
though all indications point to the
fact that it does.
' If Amy creek shows up as well as
is now expected the output of the
. Tolovann country in general may be
materially increased, according to
Mr. Hutchinson. However, the dumps
now on l.ivengood and the pay found
elsewhere on that stream justify the
prediction that the Tolovann output
during the summer will be at least a
million dollars.— (Fairbanks Citizen.)

NEW TYPE OF
OCEAN VESSEL
ON PONTOONS
Fifty miles an hour is the speed
claimed for a new type of boat in
vented by M. I’. Berry of Portland,
Me., and designed for deep sea traffic.
The new craft is known as the Pon
ton Cylinder boat. A patent ‘has been
allowed for it.
The principal idea of the inventor
was to combine speed and safety. Two
metal cylinders, long in proportion to
their diameter, are placed parallel to
each other and at a distance apart
sufficient to provide the necessary
breadth of beam, and are rigidly con-!
nected. I’pon these as a foundation, j
the structure of the ship is reared, its
form depending on tin' purpose to
which it is to be put.
A series of sheet metal pontoons,
hollow and air and water-tight, are
arranged beneath the lower deck and
on a level with two similar pontoons,
one on each side of the vessel. The
cylinders are divided longitudinally
by bulkheads into many water-tight
compartments. In large-sized ships
these cylinders- are of a diameter
great enough to permit the area to be
“squared” and a floor and walls built,
thus providing storage fo fuel and
merchandise, access being given by
hatchways leading from the lower
deck.
ruder normal opeiation only two of
the cylinders are in the water and the
»vessel operates as a double hull boat.
In a violent rocking or pitching; sea
the two outside pontoons are brought
into the water by their buoyancy and
assist in righting the boat.
In the bow the cylinders are tone
shaped, upon which are raised spiral
tillages. The conical end is sepaiated
from the rest of the cylinder and re
volves at a rapid rate. The extra
! ordinary speed of the craft is ac
quired by the use of these spiral pro
f pellers, the head resistance that re
tards other craft thus being removed.
The presence of these propellers also
prevents the driving propellers from
j slipping, which occasions a loss in
propulsive speed.
MARRIED FOR 50
YEARS, BUT JUST
BEGIN’ HOUSEWORK
I >K\ YKR. March 25.—Although
they have been married for fifty
years. Major and Mrs. Ira A. Flood,
of I>enver. began housekeeping March
5 for the first time, on the anniversary
cf their wedding just fifty years ago.
“It isn’t so funny that I should just
j begin housekeeping. ’ said Mis. Flood,
j “for before I was married we had
; plenty of servants, and then when we
1 married we just decided to board, as
I didn’t know how to keep house. Hut
we finally got tired of boarding house
and hotel life and so decided to start
keeping house.”
Mrs. Flood is prominent in women’s
clubs and philanthropic circles. Her
husband is a veteran of the civil war
and the oldest traveling salesman in
point of service in the state.
The bride says she doesn't know a
thing about housekeeping or cooking,
but she is going to learn.

N > other footwear in the world is made like ‘‘Hipress,”

most u ear-resisting rubber ever known—the same wonderful
rubber that has earned renown for Goodrich automobile tires.
And only * * 11 • press* * footwear
i> vulcanized—iust like a tire—into
One Solid Piece. There isn’t a
chance for “llipress to crack, or
peel or leak.
You really can’t know how
much hard wear and solid comfort
can he put into rubber boots and
shoes until you have worn White
“JJjprcNS.” It’s the greatest ini
provement in rubber footwear for
fifty years absolutely beyond com
parison with ordinary rubber foot
wear.
There is so much respect for
"Hipress” superiority that the
