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
and 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.
Thus 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. «

LI 1111 SHEEP
T
Bent on a mission of captur
ing alive several mountain sheep
for a California zoological firm, I
Luke Elwell of Seward, and Carlj
Anderson of Anchorage, Alaska
guides, brought the extraordi- j
nary task to a successful con
clusion last week when they
emerged from the towering peaks
of the Alaska range at Carlo,
just north of Mt. McKinley Nat- j
ional Park, with several excel
lent specimens, both male and i
female, of the famous Ovis Dahli. j
The sheep are being retained '
in corrals at Eklutna pending
shipment to their new home in
the States in the near future.
Elwell, who returned to his
home in Seward last Friday, said
that the entire job took three!
months and had more than “its
ups and downs:” One ram gave
him a beautiful black eye, he
said, which happened when the j
old boy expressed his resent- ;
ment at. having his legs tied to
I gether under him and placed in 1
a canvas carrying hammock.
The captors used padded steel
j traps which were placed in run
! ways frequented by the animals,
I and carried their prey down
from the mountains to the base j
camp in a canvas device sus
pended from poles which they;
placed on their shoulders.
Mi's. Elwell was the third mem
. ber of the party and assisted the j
two guides throughout the expe-1
dition. {

Letters received by Mrs. Fred
Johnston, wife of the popular
railroader who has been confined
to bed for months from an injury
received in a fall near Tunnell
and who is under special care in
Seattle, indicate Mr. Johnston is
slowly fighting his way back to
health.
i For some weeks past the great
est handicap has been loss of ap
| petite, it is said, but a short time
! before the last letter was receiv
ed, it was believed this ailment
was taking a turn for the better.
It is believed he is at last re
; covering the use of a limb—
the left one— as he moved it at
| will before callers. The bed-sore
I is healing nicely; Fred feels con
j siderably encouraged and is
! becoming impatient from h i s
1 long convalescence.
| Friends from Alaska are con
i stantly calling on him for which
he is very grateful.
