to the people of Seward next
Sunday to view a copy of the
only picture of Our Savior, taken

of Tiberius Caesar.” Tiberius was
the Emperor of Rome during
Christ’s ministry.
This jewel fell into the hands
of the Turks, and, “was given from
the Treasury of Constantinople, by
the Emperor of the Turks, to Pope
Innicent VIII, for the redemption
of his brother then a captive to
. the Christians,” about 1489 A. D.

NEW ASSISTANT
Mr. John Petru is the new gen
tleman behind the Seward post
office wicket. Mr. Petru arrived
on the last steamer from the
South and, comparing Alaska
with the State of Kansas, the
Territory isn’t bad at all, he says.
FEEDING EXPEDIENT
HL BE GIVEN TRIAL
ON PETERSBURG INCH
W. N. Abbes, owner and manager
of the fox ranch on Storm Island,
near Petersburg, announces upon
his returning from the states, after
I a short visit and business trip there
that they will have a one-half mile
road on the fox island which will
enable the use of his Ford coupe to
be used in hauling the feed and
water to the feed houses on the is
| land, reports the Petersburg Press.
The road will be constructed of
4x4 rails on which the Ford which
is equipped with flange wheels, like
that used on railway cars only with
a deeper flange, will not even need
to be steered.
Mr. Abbes states that there will
be another advantage, if his theory
works out and that is that he will
be able to have more foxes on the
island due to the fact that he will
be able to feed on the center por
tion of the island and not only on
the beaches. This, however, Mr.
Abbes says, is an experiment, but
if the foxes will stay where they
are fed, he is sure that he will be |
able to utilize the entire island.
PERTINENT FACTS
ABOUT THE GIGANTIC
HOOVER OHM PROJECT1
Hoover dam will be largest In the
world, 727 feet from foundation
rock. It will raise water surface
of Colorado river 582 feet.
Will contain 3,600,000 cubic yards ;
! of concrete masonry, requiring 5,
: 000,000 barrels fo cement and 19,- I
000,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. \
Will create worlds largest arti- j
I ficial lake, a vast reservoir 115 miles ;
i long.
I Its capacity of 30,500,000 acre'
i feet of water would cover entire !
late of Connecticut to depth of 10 !
feet.

MAINTENANCE GOST
MIT DE REDUCED
According to an announcement in
the Anchorage Times about 210
miles of rehabilitation remain to be
completed and after this work has
been finished, the cost of mainten
ance, it is esitmated, can be re
duced approximately $160,000 per
annum, which does not take into
account the increased length of the
life of ties. The improvement also
will result in a speeding of trains,
elimnation of hazards, lessening of
wear and tear on rolling stock,
which should bring about an addi
tional saving of $30,000 per year.
These prospective savings mean a
great deal to the railroad since they
will help materially to put the sys
tem on a self-sustaining basis. It is
the hope of Colonel Ohlson, thru
savings of that sort and the build
ing up of tonnage and passenger
| traffic, ultimately to find it possi
ble to bring about downward revi
sion of tariffs.
Accumulation of snow and ice
around railway-track switches is
prevented by an electric heater,
consisting of an iron casting about
a yard long in which is inclosed a
nickel-chronium heating element.

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.
