POWELL RIVER, B. C.f Mar. 17.

THREE-MINUTE TALKIE
Sand clocks, which these days
are used principally for boiling
three-minute eggs, have found a
new use in Alaska. Anchorage and
Seward residents press them into
service when on the long-distance
phone.
The SS Admiral Evans, of the
Pacific Steamship Company, now
to the Westward, is scheduled to
sail for the South at 6 p. m. Friday,

COMET, MINOR PUB,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Mar. 16.—
A new heavenly object, probably a
comet or minor planet, has been
discovered at Belgium Royal Ob
servatory by Prof. E. Delporte, the
Harvard College observatory was
informed.
It is of the ninth magnitude and
visible through telescopes of mod
erate size. Further observations
will allow computations to deter
mine its nature. It is in the Virgo
constellation near the eastern hor
izon in evening skies.
SHAM BATTLE
SHANGHAI, Mar. 17.—The vie- i
; torious Japanese army, which rout
J ed the Chinese forces to the ex
I tent of driving the latter out of the
city, Wednesday fought another
fierce engagement—a sham battle.
The Japanese military forces routed
an imaginary enemy for the ben
efit of a number of Japanese of
ficials and foreign observers. It
is said that the Chinese expected ;
! another offensive would be waged |
| but they were greatly eased when j
j the nature of the preparations j
! were disclosed.
STUCK IN ICE
j ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Mar.
j 16.—Hard luck is apparently fol
lowing close upon the heels of one
of Newfoundland’s fleet of sealing
ships. One of the vessels is re
ported to not only be held fast in
the ice many miles out of here but
the vessel is also said to have lost
its propellor. Many other vessels
are reported held fast by the ice.

DESIRED USE HANGAR
Pilot Prank Dorbandt would liked
to have flown his plane here from
Anchorage and put it away in the
new hangar for three weeks while
he made a brief business trip to
Seattle; phone calls to the local
committee referred him back to
Barnhill & McGee at Anchorage.
The outcome is not known.
NO MORE PLANES
Owing to the many bard- spots on
the Seward aviation field, it is
doubtful if planes will use the field
for some weeks. The Anchorage
field will shortly be in a similar
condition and the only way plane
operators can continue their serv
ices is to change from skiis to pon
toons.
HERE WITHIN A MONTH
A new plane for Seward, the big
Catholic missionary plane, flown to j
Alaska by the late Fr. George Wood- J
ley, will land on the local field 1
within a month from Holy Cross,!
Pilot Arthur- Woodley advised The!
Gateway Thursday, by pfrone. He j
will place pontoons on the plane
here and fly it down to Seattle, j
thence to the East.
George Beck, tie cutter with “Tie
j King” Challman across the bay,;
; came into town today from the tie j
domain. He will probably leave
j again this evening after securing j
j supplies and an armload of reading j
! material.
Two deadmen, or traffic buttons,
have poked their noses above the
icy crust which covers the Seward
streets. This is but another mark
as to how fast the local snows are !
giving in to the mild weather.
WANT WORK SPEEDED UP
GENEVA, Mar. 17.—The League
of Nations’ commission has ad
journed for the Easter holidays.
Before adjournment, the delegates
adopted an American resolution
which is expected to speed up the
work of the commission in their
arms limitation parleys when they
resume their discussions. The Am
erican proposal was that the com
mission meet both in the forenoon
and in the afternoon, not just in
the afternoon as has been the cus
tom.
