PUBLIC HEATING PLANT
.SI SPKMM GENERAL SERVIC E
The steam heating plant of the
Alaska Mines Corporation concluded
its service as a public utility Friday.
The plant will hereafter be operated
to heat the bank and other buildings
owned by the company and will also
supply heat to one or two business
houses in the immediate vicinity
but will no longer extend its service
to the general public. The reduc
tion in service is due to the inabili
ty of the company to secure a suf
ficient supply of oil to last through
the winter .but enough was secured
to operate as indicated. As a re
sult of the discontinuation of service,
a considerable number of business
establishments will be compelled to
either install heating plants of their
own or resort to the use of stoves
William Webb and several others are
contemplating the installation of
small steam plants and may supply
heat to a limited number of others
in the immediate neighborhood.
TWO INJURED IN
LIGHTER ACCIDENT
Chas Anderson, well known long
shoreman and the third mate of the
steamship Ketchikan, were injured
in an accident occuring in the Nome
roadstead Sunday night, while the
big Alaska Steamship Company
freighter was discharging cargo
for this port. The injuries of both
were caused by the mate falling from
the main deck of the steamer onto a
lighter on which cargo was being
lowered and alighted almost square
shoring on the barge. As a result
of Anderson's body breaking his fall,
the mate's injuires were confined to
a bruised and sprained ankle, altho
he is said to have dropped some
where around 30 feet. Anderson
was not so lucky, sustaining an in
jury to his hip which has since con
fined him to his home, and also a
severely bruised neck. Eye wit
nesses of the accident state that on
ly the intervention of Anderson’s
body prevented the mate from ser
ious if not fatal injury. It is also
considered remarkable that Ander
son was not more severely injured
by the heavy impact of the mate’s
falling body.

a stone wall on the bank of a creek,
patiently waiting for a fish to take
th»» bait. Just above a sign on the
wall which read "Insane Asylum"
sat another man just as patiently
watching him. Finally he asked:
"Caught anything?"
"Had any bites?"
"Not yet. ’
"How long you been fishing?"
"Three or four hours.”
"Come on over on this side.”
Caller—I saw your mother going
to a neighbor’s as I crossed the
street. Do you know when she will
be back?
Bill—Yes. ma'am, she said she
would be back as soon as you left.
Jimmy’s Grandfather—Nearly a

•HOOTCH HOUNDS
OUT OX STRIKE
The business agent of the
“soaks’ ” union wishes to announce
that all members will refrain from
paying more than two-bits for a jolt
of mule. The thirsty brigade is out
on strike, and according to an
nouncement every bootlegger ped
dling hootch for more than two-bits
a shot is declared, “unfair.”
The first result of the strike is a
slash in the price of “crawl out on
your knees.” The brand guaranteed
to make a man take on a “brownie”
for a catcli-as-you-can fracas has
been slashed from $20 per gallon to
$15. Other brands, made from oil
Seepages and sea water retail at a
slightly lourer price.
When the new* leaked out that a
strike of 4he “hootch hounds” was on
the bootleggers tittered. When they
began to meet the members of the
new union they assumed a more seri
ous mein. The thirsty say they will
drink gasoline before they will dig
up four-bits for a jolt. The mule,
teers say the slash on quantity is
the only concession. There have
been on complaints about picketing
as yet.—Anchorage Times.
