FOOD SHORTAGE KENAI
DISTRICT. MS ARE
BLAMED, POOR SHAPE
“It’s time someone rose up on their
! hind legs and roar to the heavens of
the conditions, in this day and age,
on Kenai peninsula,” asserted Char
les Wagner yesterday. Mr. Wagner
is paying his first visit to Seward in
many years, “and it will be many
more years before I come back,” he
added, “unless road and trail/condi
tions down there show a big improve
ment.”
“Last year, on account of poor trail
conditions the citizens of our big re
gion ran short of food supplies and the
same trouble confronts us again this
winter. For light loads the trail in
fair weather is" passable but when we
wish to haul in real tonnage, good
night!
“Right now I am in Seward for the
express purpose of buying medicinal
supplies for ‘Bill’ Inglehart who had
the misfortune to freeze his feet re
cently. Your Captain Guthrie is out
in that country now and say, he will
have something to tell you, I’ll bet,
when he returns. We are principally
short of bacon, sugar, butter and eggs
right now and these everyday neces
sity’s of life are forbidden us because
ingress and egre^l to the district is
next to impossible.
“For six days, a short time back,
Deputy U. S. Marshal Fursman lay at
the point of death—with a bifcken
leg—for we hestitated to make the
extremely rough trail trip with him.
; The airplane finally came down and
! earthed him to a hospital. That’s what
| I call tough conditions; a condition
I which I am certain, if presented
to the Bureau, of Public Roads de
partment, or the Alaska, Road Com
mission, would be taken care of at j
'.once. Us citizens down there will
give our everlasting thankfulness!
if you can help us in this matter.
“Another instance I might as well j
call your, attention to is the trip Ai j
| Hardy and I ' have * just completed.!
! Chas. West—everybody in Seward J
knows Charlie—was taken seriously |
; ill last week with a stomach ailment.
! We took a chance of killing him by
j taking him over the rough, —what
might be called a trail-path to the
i railroad. A train came along headed
' toward Anchorage and we shoved
! him on it. We would have sent him
j to Seward if the first train happened
I to be coming this way; but it wasn’t.
That was just the other day. It took
us, with the best dog team we could
get together, more than 24 hours of
steady pounding aw^y, relaying, to
go the 90 odd miles. That’s poor time
• •
! with good dogs.”
Mr. Wagner then went on to tell
about the mail carrier, Paul Wilson,
saying it takes him five or six days
to make the trip with the first class
mail and that throughout the entire
winter not an ounce of second-class
mail matter is carried. “When one
considers there are several hundred
people down in our ‘neck of the
woods it certainly would seem we
could at least have good road condi
tions, not only in the winter time, but
in the summer as well,” he concluded.

The Grebe
"Color tone”
hushes annoying sounds and al
lows notes of voice and instrument
to reach you in full natural tones
r' enables you to alter to your
taste the quality or timbre of
speech or music from high, thin
pitch to low, deep, round tones.
This receiver, unlike others, is
not at the mercy of the loud
speaker. The “Colortone” also
helps to subdue to a great degree,
the scratching, hissing, whistling
sounds that are usually the bane
of radio reception.
The "S’s” and the "H's” are plainly
audible; naturalness of sound replaces
the artificiality which has heretofore in
terfered with radio enjoyment.
Do not miss a demonstration of this grant
Grebe innovation.
