ALLYN-PANGMAN ARE

WAGON ONCE MORE
Ally 11 and Pangman are on the
water wagon again—not that it
is bo surprising—but it is a
change after the dull summer
months, when their product is
not in such great demand, due to
the fact that the pipes about town
make delivery by that means pos
sible during that time.
The familiar “W” in the front
windows of the different residenc

few months and cases of forget

some until they get the habit well
formed.

FIRE ON SNAKE
RIVER DREDGE
The Alaska Mines Corporation
dredge on Snake River, formerly
the Andy Anderson dredge, caught
fire this morning in the wench
room The dredge crew at the
time were all down on the main
deck in the inclosure and the Are
had gained considerable headway
before being noticed. A telephone
call for help was received In town
and the Nome Fire Department
chemical wagon and crew hastened
to the scene of the fire where they
with many others assisted in put
ting the fire out. Great credit is
due td the dredge crew also for the
excellent manner in which they
kept the fire under control by form
ing a bucket brigade.
The amount of damage is small,
as only the wood work of a corner
of the dredge was destroyed. The
origin of the fire was probably due
to an overheated oil stove in the
wench room.
Mr. Keenan the manager of the
dredge decided today to close the
dredge down for the balance of
the season and the crew are now
busy placing the machine in winter
quarters.

(N COMING ELECTION
Kansas City. Oct. lf)(AP)
i’lan.H for a nation-wide campaign
on behalf of his candidacy for 1
President on the National Prohi
bition Ticket are seriously ham
pered by a lack of funds, Herman
P. Faris, of Clinton. Mo., has de- .
dared here. ‘We’ll never have to '
worry about being investigated for
having a slush fund.” he chuck
led, “for we haven't got one. If
we had one dollar for every him- j
dred the big parties have, we’d win
'this election."
Mr. Faris. a 65-year-old hanker I
and Sunday School Superintendent.
I believes in the cause of Prohibi- j
tion and the ultimate success of |
the Prohibition Party.
' Radio is going to play an im- I
| portant part in this year’s presl- j
[ deatial campaign. Mr. Farissaid. |
| and he hopes to use its possibili- :
| ties frequently in his own cam
i palgn. By way of firing his open
ing gun in the battle for Prohibi
I tion victory, he radiocast an ad
i dress from a large station here. |
| Mr. Faris is at the service of his
party and is ready to speak any !
time, anywhere, he said. The act
ual plans for his campaign are in
diage of Dr. T5. E. P. Prugh. Na
tional Chairman at Harrisburg, '
Pa. Central branch headquarters
of the party are in Chicago in .
charge of Jahn P. Coffin of Johns
town. Fla. Western headquarters ;
are in Los Angeles, in charge of
John C. Rell. vice-chairman of the
national committee.
“One thing is certain." Mr. Faris
said. "We've been electing the is
sues for fifty years and the other 1
fellows have been electing the offl- j
cers. It ought to be our turn to '
elect the officers.
“If we can get only one half of ■
the good people In both old parties j
who are sick and tired of the prov
en corruption which has besmirch
ed both old-line parties, to tell
Uncle Sam at the polls their real
hearts’ desires, we’ll be elected by
a tremendous majority.
“If the good women will recog
nize the fact that it was through
our party they gained their suf
frage rights and will pay their
debt to the only party that ever
did faithfully stand for them, we’ll
foe elected without the aid of a sin
gl< ‘male-man’ vote.”
Mr. Faris asserted the Prohibi
tion ticket would foe placed on the
official ballots in nearly half of
the States, among them Pennsyl
vania, Illinois and California, and
that he thought it. would find «i
place in many more States. . ‘‘In
1920,” he continued. "a great
many of our people thought our
work was done. But government
ic only ‘one per cent law and 9!)
per cent enforcement’ and you
can't expect the Prohibition laws
to he enforced by unsympathetic
officials, now in office.”
Mr. Faris said he was proud of
the fact that a woman. Miss Marie
C. Brehm of Long Beach. Califor
nia. is the party's choice for vice
president. Miss Brehm. he declar
ed. is ‘‘the peer of any candidate
now in the field, even though she
doesn’t smoke a pipe upside down
or wear a skull cap. When she
presides over the Senate as its
president, the world will sit up
and take notice.”

Swiss glaciers are receding. The
advance during the last ten years
has come to a stop. From 100 ob

forward.

The reliability of Red Crown Gasoline
and Standard Engine Distillate—uniform
in duality at all of the numerous conve
niently located distributing stations
maintained by Standard Oil Service in
Alaskan waters—is one of the mainstays
of the fishing industry.
"Red Crown” is volatile, starts easily,
and makes possible flexible maneuvering.
Standard Engine Distillate is especially
refined to make possible maximum oper
ating efficiency for marine engines de
signed to use this type of fuel and
operating at slow speeds.
—or on Land
Zerolene low cold-test lubricants and
Red Crown gasoline enable your auto
mobile to deliver the best that's in it.

ing, Seattle, or the nearest Standard Oil
