Buick reliability
is one reason why
the majority of
new Buicks every
year are pur
chased by old
Buick owners. »
For they have dis
covered the great
pleasure of own
ing a car with one
safeguard after
another in its de
sign, to prevent
trouble.
Buy a Buick. It is a
more dependable
and more enjoy
able motor car!
THE GREATEST BUICK

METEOR REPORTED TO
HAVE FALLEN VALDEZ
John DeHart, who was a Valdez
visitor recently, reports the fall of
a giant meteor within a few miles of
Valdez. Mr. DeHart stated to the
Valdez Miner that he did not witness
the fall of the heavenly visitor,
which occured on the evening of
January 7, being at the time in his
(cabin. The sky was thick with
clouds and mist, which also prevent
ed any great amount of illumination
from the fiery visitor. His attention
was attracted by a peculiar humming
noise, very noticeable, and accompan
ied by a vibration of the atmosphere
which fairly shook the cabin. No
noticeable shock accompanied the
collision between the falling meteor
and the earth.
Having witnessed similar phenom
3na before. Mr. DeHart was convinc
ed a meteor had fallen not far away,
rhe next morning he started out to
3earch for it. He was not long in
finding the object of his search, for
the spot where it struck was torn
and blackened and a cloud of steam
was issuing from the spot, which
continued for two days.
Owing to fear of snowslides, M.r.
DeHart was unable to approach near
er than a quarter of a mile of the
spot, but from this distance he ob
tained a good view of the meteor,
which he estimates weights 5,000
;ons and possibly much more.
So great was the impact that a
?reat hole was torn in the rocks of
:he mountainside and dust and de
bris was scattered over a radius of
two miles or more. Mr. DeHart did
not give the exact location of the
meteor, stating that as soon as the
snow goes he expects to visit the
scene and locate the meteor, which
he believes will be quite valuable.
Chief of Police Guest is on the trail
nf the youngsters who broke several
windows in the schoolhouse building
last evening. It was reported the
damage was deliberately done with
snowballs.
Mr. and Mrs. George Goff and
children, well known residents of
Anchorage, departed for the States
Sunday. Mr. Goff, until recently,
was employed in the Howard-Jesson
coal mine at Moose Creek.
