JUST BLOW YOURSELF TO
DO ILOSKA COCKM:
_
I
“Just blow yourself to a ton of I
ice!”
Thousands of Alaskan tourists
this summer will be given the in
vitation by captains of Pacific j
Steamship Co.’s Alaskan cruise |
liners as they sail beneath the
looming face of Taku, the queen ;
of glaciers, near Juneau, says the ;
Ketchikan Tribune.
Or, “Just whistle for it,” the!
skippers may say.
Then, for the benefit of skep- j
tics, the skippers will demonstrate. j
Well out from the glacier, they j
will “tie down” their whistles in
long, piercing, blasts.
Before the echo has a chance to
bounce back, tourists will see a
massive curtain of ice, thousands
of tons of it, crash downward with
a roar to be heard the length of
Taku inlet. Cubes of ice the size
of a house—for a giant’s cocktail
—will bob on the surface of the
water, and the splash will leave
its mark 200 feet up the side of
the glacier.
This year the breaking of ice
from Taku by whistling will be i
more spectacular than ever.
Whistles of the entire Alaskan
fleet of Pacific Steamship Co. are
being tuned to a special pitch
developed by J. D. Gilmour, port
engineer in Seattle for the steam
ship line.
Described as a “tone bomb” by j
its inventor, this pitch carries the j
heaviest vibrations obtainable and j
makes certain that the tremendous;
sections of fractured face ice on }
the glacier will be shaken loose.
AMBITIONS STIRRED
(By the “Cub”)
The unloading of 31 horses yes- j
terday and walking them up toj
the Alaska Transfer attracted con- I
xiderable attention from Seward’s j
younger element and especially to J
those who had never witnessed j
the act of a horse throwing a man j
off it’s back. Such exclamations i
as “that’s my horse” came from j
the eager ones who now aspire to !
become cowboys. After witnessing (
one horse kick another, the kids ‘
went home to tell “Pa” to get them '
a little horse and saddle.
SEWARD WAS WINNER
The Gateway sports reporters
and assistant sports reporters has
ten to correct the account of last
Sunday's baseball game of the
Seward big leaguers with the SS
Evans baseball nine. It now ap- ‘
pears that Seward emerged the!
victors, instead of the Evans. |
Roger Paul, Seward pitcher, after j
reading the last account said that j
he threw his arm “sore” all for J
nothing if that was the case.
Local investigators report it will j
be sometime yet before an auto j
can traverse the Seward-Kenai
Lake Highway for there is con
siderable snow in the forest areas
where the sun has little opportu
nity to play steady rays.
Work has been started on the
new $50,000 Wrangell school build
ing, says the Wrangell Sentinel.

PRODUCING ORE
D. R. Gustafson, official of the
Cleary Hill Mines, in the Fairbanks
district, brought a cleanup into
Fairbanks recently, reports the
News Miner, of fair proportions.
Ore is being produced at a steady
rate.

Missions, Presbyterian Church, in
building a new church in Wrangell
