DELIVERY OF GOAL
D. W. Metzdorf, general store
keeper of the Alaska railroad, has
asked for sealed bids to be receiv
ed up to and including Monday,1
March 2, 1931, at.2 p. m., for fur
nishing the Alaska railroad with
approximately 35,000 tons of coal
for government use.
The calling for submission of
bids is the result of the cancella
tion recently made by the railroad
of the contract with the Evan
Jones Coal Co., for delivery of coal,
says the Anchorage Times.
Under the new call for bids de
liveries are to be in accordance
with the Alaska railroad’s new
coal specifications revised Febru
ary 12, 1931. The deliveries are to'
be of approximately 100 tons of
nut coal, 14,900 tons of locomotive
coal and 20,000 tons oi steam coal,
I to be made of the various grades
(in the amounts ordered by the
•railroad Deliveries will begin
i about March 15, 1931, and con
tinue until the contract is com
pleted or terminated.
The award will not be made on
total tonnage required, but on pro
posals specifying lowest price tor
each grade desired.
! Blank forms for submitting bids
| showing specifications and re
quirements are available at the
| office of the railroad storekeeper.

The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allow? you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
end cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of “no storage batteries.” This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Urns the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation. •

LONE SCIENTIST
DEFIES ARCTIC WINTER.
STUDY Lift ON ISLAND
PITTSBURG, Feb., 23, {JP)— ;
! From the rigors of the Arctic zone :
! where his only companions were'
a fur trader and son and Eskimos, j
Dr. George Sutton has returned j
with the results of the first ex
haustive study of bird, animal,:
and plant life on Southampton j
Island.
Southampton Island was the j
only charted land of the north of;
which a study had not been made.!
Dr. Sutton was the lone member j
of a privately-financed expedi- j
tion.
In praise of the Eskimos Dr.'
Sutton is enthusiastic. He found
only two who could master a
little English, but all, he said,
were inteligent, and he had no
difficulty in communicating with
them. He succeeded in learning
a little of the Eskimo tongue.
“They knew a few simple card
games and we played them when
we had nothing else to occupy
us. I taught them to play ‘slap
jack’—
On a radio set Dr. Sutton, heard
broadcasts from station KDKA in
Pittsburgh. “I heard my mother!
j at various times during those j
i broadcasts,” he said. “Of course
it wasn’t always possible to hear
distinctly but often we could.”
Dr. Sutton brought to Carnegie
museum here 1,000 birds, 500 mam
J mals, about 2.000 plants in a
mineralogical collection, and many
butterflies. He also had many
) paintings of birds and about 700
j photographs.
I He established that the island
j is the home of the whistling
j swan.
! Several hitherto uncharted is
! lands were discovered during Dr.
Sutton’s explorations.
Clark Andresen, manager of
the hardware department of
Brown & Hawkins, is aboard the
SS Alameda enroute to Seward.
His name appeared on Saturday’s
passenger list as C. Anderson.
