MATANUSKA fAViMB!
The news contained in Yesterday’s
dispatches convey in: the information
that the lUtim: river coat lots tailed
to stand ihe test applied by the Lnited
State* navy, naturally leaves the Mat
utiuska fields a^ the sole source of fuel |
Mjpp'y. :n Alaska, for warship*. The j
iuportance of tins fact canuot be ovei
ONtimated. It in :ii.s i hat Kesurrection

u?»es of the navy. Looking at it from
a broad jdandnomt, it is a regrettable J
fact.and however much Sewaru tnay j
be benetitted b\ t ht tindimr. it i> never-,
thele>s to be deplored, from the stand
point of Alaska as a whole.
1: La> lunar been generally known j
that the coal in the Bering river fields j
contain smaller veins and the product j
when mined appears like screenings, j
In the Mat anu>ka tielos the veins are
lar^e and >rron”' and the coal may be

A
Aeroplane tlying
imposes unforeseen
and trying conditions on a
watch. The aeroplane
vibrates constantly. 11 tilts
at all angles. Often it lands
with a jolt that would ruin
the balance-wheel of many
a watch.
The Wright Brothers had most
unsatisfactory experiences with all
^the watches they tried in Europe
and America—until they adopted
the HOWARD.
The HOWARD Watch is
the finest practical timepiece in the
world. Its special hard-tempered steel
balance cannot jolt out of true with the
roughest service. The HOWARD ad
justment is permanent.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
$40 to $150—and a printed price-ticket
attached.
\ We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. y - •
