WILL ENDEAVOR OBTAIN MORE
NAVIGATION LIGHTS.
A. Treffers who has installed two
navigation lights during the last
summer and assisted in the assem
bling of a number of others, took
passage on the steamer Buford for
the States.
Treffers is on his way to Ketchi
kan where he will interview W. C.
Dibrell. Supt. of Lighthouses hi re
gards to installing more navigation
lights along the Bering Sea coast.
Treffers is armed with a number of
letters of recommendation from
l various residents of Nome, commend
kig him for the work he has done in
installing the lights at Sledge Is
land and Cape Espenberg during
the past summer, and recommend
ing him for the position of Superin
teudent of these lights next summer.
TreffeTs will, according to his own
statement, make an effort to demon
strate to the Superintendent of
Lighthouses, the great necessity of
more navigation lights along this
coast and to the East and West.
The lights which were installed will
necessarily have to be attended to
during the season of open naviga
tion, and so far there is no light
house tender or employee in this
district to look after their upkeep,
and it is to this end that Treffers
intends to work upon arrival In
Ketchikan.
