ITNIT OPERATED
Mast Sunday the Yuba Mfg. Com
pany made a trial run of Engine No.
2 being installed in the Mammon
Cold Field Power plant on Dry
Creek hill, by Superintendent P. E
Morse and his'capable assistants.
This engine, with its two compan
ion uniitts. is a six cylinder full
Diesel type, generating 525 brake
horse power, thiat is. after all fric
tion has been overcome in the en
gine the available power produced
is equal to 525 H P. direct energy.
During the trial run of twelvo
hours the unit worked perfectly and
Supt. Morse and his men are tru-ly
proud of the engine and the success
ful installation.
To give one an Idea of the fuel
consumed in generating the maxi
mum power, the following is of in
terest: Crude oil is the fuel em
ployed and .43 pounds of oil per
hoar per unit horse power is the
amount required, being 30 gallons
of etude oil per hour to generate
The economy of the Diesel engine
over the steam engine is realized
when it is understood that in th»
type of internal combustion engine
for the same amount of fuel oil con
sumed you will get 3 5 per cent of
the H. T. IT. in power, whereas n
the steam engine one seldom gets
more .than from 15 to 20 percent.
The bird and lalst engine of the
unite Installed will he given its trial
run Sunday, unless some unforeseen
difficulty arises.
To walk into the power plant and
see the engines, switchboards and
other equipment installed and in
the process of installation one quick
ly realizes that Nome is emerging
from the old haphazard days. The
building is roomy, well lighted, with
a concrete floor, anti all fire hazzards
removed. A traveling crane with a
lifting capacity of 5 tons enables the
workmen to rapidly transfer heavy
loads a.t will. A small] boiler sup
plies steam for the radiators em
ployed in keeping the place warm
and comfortable. All in all the
plant is modern #o the las-t detail
and is an asset that will play an
important part in the future develop
ment and progress of the Nome
With cheaper fuel elcctTical ener
gy can he produced that will lx1
used by many smaller companies
and Individuals for their immediate
wants and help overcome the pres
ent. wasteful, expensive methods,
used in steam engines.
As a forecast of coming events tt
is no hallucination to predict that
the various small dredgers on Sew
ard Peninsula, particularly In the
Nome section, will be supplied with
power from this modern power
plant. By usdng the surplus energy
Of this plant local dredge operators
will be able to reduce production

THK .1IASK.1 FOIUiKT-MK-NOT.
Dedicated to the Piuotf-is of Alaska,
by Mrs. C. K. ihu-ling.
In this far-away Alaska,
With its deep and trackless snow*.
Winner comes so very quickly
And do very slowly goes.
That the fair and fleeting summer
I • a dream of brief delight-—
Wfoh its aiir so soft and balmy.
And its days so long and bright.
And it seeqis ho if to pay ut*
For the gray months, bleak and cold.
Than our smallest, simplest flowen
Here, some rare new charms unfold;
And of all these welcome blossoma,
Answering to the sun's warm glow.
There are none that touch tha
heart strings
Like "Forget-me-not” I know.
So. in tMnking of an emblem
For this Empire of the North.
We will ohoose this azure flower
That the golden days bring forth;
For we want man to remember
That Alaska's come to slay.
Though she slept, unknown, for ages
And awakened in a day.
And we want them to remember.
Though her heart is one of gold.
There are many other treasures
Thai s>he offers to unfold.
She has men of brawn and muscle.
She has men of brain and fin1.
Who will strive to win her honors
And achieve her soul's desire;
She has women who have followed
Where the brave frontiersmen roam
Who are sure where the h*«uU is.
There can always be a home.
And Alaska has her children
Who no fafire.r land have known —
Yet the love of ouir whole country
In each little mind iH sown.
And we wart to tell the nation.
Tho so very far away.
We be«in Co know our power.
And we're on the map to stay—
And we want them to remember
That the mines and golden, sand*
Yield no surer, richer fortune.
Than our loyal hearts and hands.
So. although they say we're living
In the “Land ithat God Forgo*."
We’ll recall Alaska to them
With our Blue "Forget-Me-Not.”
