(By Special Correspondent)
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Balls spent
three days last week at Wasilla
and the Willow Creek Mines, prin
cipally with R. A. Pyle at the Mar
ion Twin Co. Mint Mine. Mr. Pyle
is manager in charge of this mine
for the Los Angeles owners| The
Mint is closing down after a suc
cessful season. They are doing well.
They say the mosquitos have gone,
and the weather fine indeed. They
enjoyed every moment of their out
ing.

Elmer Simco and Bob Dunn are
flying today with Pilot Harry Blunt,
of the Pacific International Air
ways, carryng 1,800 lbs., of supplies
including dogs and traps for the
far interior where they will propect
and trap this winter. Ther destina
tion is west of the Copper River in
the heart of the best fur and gold
country, and as they have been
there before they know just what to
expect and look forward to—hope
fully as all may do when as well
versed in Alaska as these men.

Robert H. Foster, a coal man who
arrived in Anchorage a month ago
to locate the coal he discovered
here years ago is making good pro
gress on his proposition. This is lo
cated on the Inlet, some four miles
down from Anchorage. He has been
having assays made by the govern
ment assayer here who pronounces
it first class in every respect but
entirely different from the bulk
of Matanuska coal so far known.
Mr. Foster plans to get busy soon
opening the road for winter haul
ing over the snow. In the same vic
inity is found an abundance of oil
shale of the best—everything easy,
of access. A much used slogan in !
California might well be applied
here with greatest advantage tc |
those who folow it—“Get in ahead *
of the drills.”

U. G. Crocker has just received j
and put into place a very fine, new, ]
high showcase in his Anchorage I
store. This comes from Los Angeles
and is a long one—some dozen feet
or more. This illustrates two things
Mr. Crocker believes in the future j
of Anchorage, and the art of pack-!
teg successfully such an amount of j
heavy glass has reached a high
stage—especially for this distance, j

It is devoutly to be hoped that i

good in the north for Manager Ohl- I

askans are proud that this is be
ing done.

A brand new school bus has been
constructed here on a heavy A A.
Shonbeck truck for the use of the
I Matanuska school board in trans
porting their pupils to and from
school during the coming year. It is
painted a bright green and can be
seen a long way off as was the
purpose, no doubt, in using this
vivid color. Its windows on all sides
will make traveling a pleasure in
stead of punishment.

[ flower garden, was somewhat
; vexed one morning a few days
ago when he noticed a group o£
young sailors picking bouquets.
The next morning he tacked up a
card which read “Please do not
pick flowers.” The following morn

I Two horses, meandering places,
had stopped and enjoyed a free
meal.

ENDLESS FLY SWATTING
Elkay s Fly—Kil Gc Them c~ the 'X' jng
INSTANTANEOUSLy I
nHHE CRUSADE against germ infested,
disease carrying, health destroying
flies and mosquitoes has done much in
promoting more hygienic conditions. But
endless fiy swatting becomes tiresome—
and ineffective when care must be taken
of fine furnishings and walls.
Eikay’s Fiy-Kil provides the simple
and sure way of exterminating flies and
mosquitoes. Just a few strokes of your
spray plunger and down they come—flies,
mosquitoes, fleas, moths, roaches, ants—
all forms of insect life, dead just as soon
as Eikay’s Fly-Kil reaches them. This
is the protection and convenience which
you may have by going to your Rexall
Drug Store for Elkav’s Flv-KiL
v V
The half pint size. Just
as effective in its exter
minating power.
