NEW WALK TRANSFORMS i
SELOfll INTO A NEW j
AND MODERN CENTER;
With its long-desired board walk
almost completed, Seldovia has
[taken on a spick-and-span appear
i ance and blossoms forth like a
i real town. The board walk is prac
jtically a community enterprise, be
i mg built by local labor as rapidly as
lumber and timbers are delivered.
Those in charge of the enterprise
were expecting a large delivery of
material Saturday night when the
MS Discoverer touched the thriving
'cook Inlet metropolis and hope to
have the walk completed shortly.
The effect of the walk, leading
from the dock to the escarpment
of the foreshore, is magical in giv
ing the entire waterfront the as
i pect of a real seaport. In harmony
| with the improvement, business
men, whose establishments about
the board walk, have been liberal
with paint and renovation of in
teriors, until Seldovia looks like a
brand new city.
Many business establishments
have installed small generating
plants and are brilliantly lighted.
All of which has caused Seldovians
to “point with pride” and predict
for the substantial Cook Inlet fish
ling center a rapid and permanent
i growth.
MRS. GOSS, HUSO,
! icon FROM FULL
Mrs. Clara Goss, of Unalaska,
has been confined in bed for over
a month as the result of a bad fall.
She is slowly improving and £X
ipects to be up and about within a
few days.
i Apparently, Lady Luck does not
hold Mrs. Gos in very high favor,
|for some time ago her home was
burned to the ground in one of the
j worst fires at Unalaska for years.
But, out of the chaos and debris,
| she has built one of the most beau
tiful homes along the coast.
Only last winter, Mrs. Goss’ head
and shoulders were severely burned
in the explosion of a gas lamp,
which nearly cost her life. Yes,
Mrs. Goss has had plenty of luck,
but it has been mostly bad.
ABANDON SPEED HOP

to break the speed record for New
York to Havana failed. The fliers
abandoned the hop when they dis
covered the tail skid of their ma
chine had been broken.

WIFE OF ALASKAN SKIPPER
Among the trippers aboard the
SS Alaska yesterday was Mrs. John
Newland, wife of Capt. John New
land, former skipper of the famous
Dora. Mrs. Newland traveled in
company with Mrs. Grant Reed, an
old friend, who is returning from
a month’s sojourn in Seattle, where
she went for medical treatment.
Mrs. Reed has entirely recovered
and displays the best of health and
spirits. Mr. Reed came over from
Anchorage to meet her.
PHEASANTS THRIVE
The Mongolian and Chinese
pheasants which recently were re
ceived from the States by the An
chorage Rod & Gun Club for stock
ing local areas, have been placed
advantageously and appear to be
getting along very nicely, accord
ing to reports which have been re
ceived from the various places
where the birds have been liberated.
The shipment consisted of 20 Chi
nese pheasants and an equal num
ber of Mongolians, says the Anchor
age Times.
BILL MS
NEEDS MORE INCOME
Winter is approaching and the j
children’s school expense will be j
higher this year than last. Bill j
looks forward to less income in j
the regular way. Many industries •
have shifted to the “zigzag” plan
for their employees in an effort j
to help everyone thru the winter.!
This means that each employee
will have about half as much in- j
come. Prices of clothing and food I
have come down some, but not in
keeping with the “zigzag” income.
There will be just as much coal to
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
He has some money in the sav
ings bank drawing 3 per cent in
terest. While it is true that money
was put there for a “rainy day”
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day.” He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a man
in exactly his financial condition
has invested part of his money
and has made enough return to
give him the added income he
needed. But Bill knows there is
some speculation with every in
vestment, no matter what it is or
| how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
should take any chances on either
his savings account or his present
income. Of course his savings ac
count is not absolutely safe; he
realizes more money has been lost
by depositors thru bank failures
during the last 10 years than
thru any single line of investment
other than the stock market crash
in 1929. Being a true American
land realizing that “nothing risked,
! nothing gained,” he likes to take
la chance. Bill is a cautious fel
|low and wants to speculate, but
;he doesn’t want to lose his money.
! So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed” promises and impractical
guarantees that flood the mails
land seeks out a chance to specu
late with the safety of a flowing
oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in
; big, Bill should make a profit
I of 10 times his investment. If
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he- has the
speculative chance of making a
I real fortune if the new well comes
in good. He wants to speculate
(with his “fingers crossed,’ as it
‘were, and that is exactly what
he does when he accepts our spe
cial Pool offer, and shares in one
gusher while we drill for another.
Write us for full information,
but better still—mail us $20, $100,
or even $200, and share in our
next dividend. If you are like
Bill Jones, we might help you.

WATER SHORT AT CIRCLE
Continued shortage of water is
working a hardship on Circle min

i there but it has been doing that

materializing. Only intermittent
splashing has been done by the
hydraulic plants since early this
season.
