COAST LIGHTS
You can travel several hundred miles to the West
ward and not see a bouy or a light. The hardy mariners
has to do his stuff “by guess and by God,,, but if the winds
and the fogs come up he has to do more guessing.
The matter is becoming important in view of the fact
that fishing, livestock raising and fur-farming are speed
ing up along the Aleutians and the Alaska peninsula.
It was brought up at the luncheon of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce yesterday by Jack McCord who is
interested in sheep, cattle and blue fox on Sitkalidak Is
land, off the Southeastern shore of Kodiak. The capes to
the Westward should be better marked, Mr. McCord
thinks; and the Gateway is in accord with this view
“The more civilization developed the more it will need
gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and other metals.”
B. C. Forbes, the well-known writer on industrial
subjects, states that Wall Street is betting three to one
that Hoover will be elected. Which information will be
accepted as significant or not according to the individual
views of those who read it.
Just heard of a Texas girl who thinks “meeting de
feat” means getting kicked out.
Congressman Hull of Illinois has written a piece
about “Learning to Be a Congressman/' Most of them are
more interested are more interested in learning how to
stay that way.

Monument Erected to
World’s Champion Milk
wOW
On July 31, at the Carnation
Milh Farm, Carnation, Washing
ton, the statue of Segis Pietertje
Prospect, world’s champion milk
cow, was unveiled with appropri
ate ceremonies.
She was a pure-bred Holstein,
born in 1912, and died in 1925. In
1929 she set a new world record
of 37,391 pounds of milk and 1,448
pounds of butter in 365 days—
nearly 4,600 pounds of milk more
than any other cow has ever made, i
The following year she again sur
passed any other record except
her own, her total for the two
years at 72,931 pounds of milk and
2,865 pounds of batter coostitating
the world's two-year record.
It is estimated that during her
lifetime “Prospect” produced 174,
000 pounds of milk, or 91,000 quarts,
or 20,250 gallons, or $7 tons of
weight — equivalent to approxi
mately 100 times her own weight.
The average milk production in
the United States per cow is 3900
pounds, or 1450 quarts, so that
“Prospect” in her record yefar gave
approximately as much milk as
ten average cows.
The statue which has been erect
ed on the farm where her records
were made is one-fourth larger
than life size, and stands on a
I pedestal 7 feet high and 8 feet by
16 feet base.

an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance’* until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.
