from the south made it rather
difficult for the SS Alaska to get
away this morning and the result
was that some of the dock piling
were broken before the vessel
could get away.

Count Ilia A. Tolstoi, a nephew j
of the famous Russian author, ar
rived on last night’s train to make
connections with the SS Alaska for
passage to the States. Count Tol

during the summer. Count Tol

which is, or is expected to become,
interested in the development of
the park as a summer tourist re
sort, financing in a material way
the present concession holder, the
Mt. McKinley Transportation Com

With the present high tides it
appears that the Lagoon road is
“Doing the Bogosloff.” One time
it is visible above the sea and the
next it is entirely blotted out. Just
like the disappearing Bogosloff Is
land to the Westward.
The SS Denali tied up at the
Standard Oil Dock for a short
time this morning but was com
pelled to anchor out because of
the storm, and southerly wind.
The Denali has dynamite and
some coal cars to be unloaded
yet.
An observer at the unloading
of some of the heavy all-steel
coal cars of the Alaska Railroad,
from the SS Denali, said that the
cranemen Jimmy Hughes, and
Dick Brooks, Foreman and other
workers, deserved a lot of credit
for their skillful manipulation of
the heavy coal cars. They had to
know their strains, twists, weights
and torques, he said, to handle
the big cars.

"Now, that’s what I call real Service!”
A happy, contented smile lights up the face of a Buick owner when you
ask him about his car or about the Authorized Buick Service which
protects and pertetuates its excellence.
The Buick owner enjoys thorough satisfaction, thorough peace of mind.
His Buick is one of a long series of fine cars with proved ability to serve
greatly for 100,000 miles or more. And Authorized Buick Service, with)
more than 4,000 stations throughout America, gives him complete per
formance insurance whenever and wherever he drives.
Are you, too, looking for a real Eight and real service? It is obvious that
the Buick product and Buick service are a combination of outstanding*
merit. For more than three times as many people have purchased new
Buick Eights since their introduction as any other eight in their field.
And 89 per cent of all Buick owners buy Buicks again and again!
