CARDINAL GIBBONS SOUNDS
THE CALL FOR LOYALTY
Cardinal Gibbons sounded the call
for whole-hearted American support
of Fresident Wilson, when he termed
it the “primary duty of every citizen
to show loyalty to the country.”
“Loyalty,” he declared, “is mani
fested more by acts than words; by
solemn service rather than empty dec
larations. It is exhibited by absolute
and unreserved obedience to his coun
try’s call. The members of both houses
of congress are the instruments of
God, in guiding us in our civic duties.”

NEW TYPE OF OCEAN
VESSEL ON PONTOONS
Fifty miles an hour is the speed
claimed for a new type of boat in
vented by H. C. Berry, of Portland,
Me., and designed for deep sea traf
fic. The new craft is known as the
Pontoon Clyinder boat. A patent has
been allowed for it.
The principal idea of the inventor
was to combine speed and safety. Two
metal cylinders, long in proportion to
their diameter, are placed parallel to
each other at a distance apart suffi
cient to provide the necessary breadth
of beam, and are rigidly connected.
Upon these as a foundation the struc
ture of the ship is reared, its form de
pending on the purpose to which it is
put.
A series of sheet metal pontoons,
hollow and air and water-tight, are
arranged beneath the lower deck and
on a level with two simlar pontoons,
one on each side of the vessel. The
cylinders are divided longitudinally by
bulk-heads into many water-tight
compartments. In large sized ships
these cylinders are of a diameter great
enough to permit the areato be squar
ed and a floor and walls built, thus
providing storage for fuel and mer
chandise, access being given by hatch
ways leading from the lower deck.
Under normal operation only two of
the cylinders are in the water and the
vessel operates as a double hull boat.
In a violent rocking or pitching sea
the two outside pontoons are brought
into the water by their buoyancy and
assist in righting the boat.
In the bow the cylinders are cone
shaped upon which are raised spiral
flanges. The conical end is separated
from the rest of the cylinder and re
volves at a rapid rate. The extra
ordinary speed of the crapt is acquir
ed by the use of these spiral propel
lers, the head resistance that retards
other craft thus being removed. The
presence of these propellers also pre
vents the driving propellers from slip
ping, which occasions a loss in pro
pulsive speed.
ROADHOUSE MAN MARRIES.
RICHARDSON, May 1.—Henry
Stock, better known as “Butch” at
Gordon’s roadhouse, gave his friends
a big surprise on Tuesday when he
took a bride, Miss Jennie K. Perry of
j Auburn, Minnesota. The ceremony
i was performed by Commisioner Grif
I fin at the roadhouse.
Miss Perry arrived at Fairbanks
last August and last fall came out on
the trail to live. At the marriage
and dinner which followed guests were
present from Donnelly, McCarty and
other places along the trail.

FORMER ALASKA MAN
NOW IN MEXICO
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
Many oldtimers of Fairbanks, who
were in Dawson in the early days,
will remember J. C. Woodward, the
brother of C. Harry Woodward, who
was American vice-consul there. Later
he was transferred to Vancouver, B.
C., as consul. On the mail arriving
in Fairbanks yesterday Mr. Woodward
was advised that his brother is now in
Matamoras, Mexico, as consul for the
United States.
At one time during hostilities in
Mexico, there was much activitiy
about Matamoras, and the American
consul was compelled to leave there;
but they have evidently quieted down
sufficiently now to permit the reopen
ing of the office.
WOOD ISLAND NATIVE
IS HELD FOR RAPE
Effrom Kalnak, a 17-year-old na
tive of Wood island, near Kodiak, has
been taken into custody by Deputy j
Marshal Karl Armstrong of the lat
ter place on the charge of rape, com
mitted upon a 7-year-old girl, an in
mate of the orphanage. It is said that
the prisoner has confessed to the
commission of the crime.
HARMONY THEATRE.
“The Iron Claw” and “Embers" at the
Harmony.
Again tonight “The Iron Claw will
be at the forefront at the Harmony
theatre.
In the language of the street the [
program last Saturday was a “bear.”
Well in this case, this one is a “bird.”
Those of you who saw the first chap
ters remember “Tito,” the parrot that
called the Iron Claw. Tito is back and
and in this chapter he plays a title !
role and for a while he dominates the j
whole show. Tito is responsible for
a terrific explosion that breaks down
the river wall and drowns the Iron
Claw and his henchmen out of the
underground quarters.
The name of this chapter is the “In
tervention of Tito” and the “Spotted
Warning.”
Following up the plan of making
this program of extreme interest, two
other features are added, both com
edies. One is a Keystone and it is a
regular riot of fun, break-neck speed
and action. Not one minute of this
hour and a half program is without a
thrill or a laugh. We caution you not
to miss this.
Tomorrow (Sunday) as usual we]
are running three shows, the first at
6 p. m. The big feature of this day is
Constance Crawley and Arthur Maud
in a five-act photoplay “Embers.”
This picture is preceedd by the Selig
Tribune News, that is always of great
interest. 70

tographer. He will make you a pic

WAR WILL BE LONG
OR QUICKLY CONCLUDED
(Valdez Prospector.)
Major Davidson received on the last

son, in which he states that the pre
dictions at the national capital are
that the war with Germany will be
a long one or an extremely short mid

IQ — J.__ —fm-2 Patriotism and thrift are inseparable. This is
Wl , || I | § j ||| ^ If! 2*4 fill B |1 T*1 T T, as true as that the good citizen is the patriotic
* ^ ** citizen. At the outset of the present war there
were 367 savings accounts to every 1,000 of population in Germany, 379 out of 1,000 in France, 342 out of 1,000 in the United Kingdom, but only 218
out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice as many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonish the United States by the way they have financed the more
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER SAVERS THAN WE. We can well learn from their example and
add more generally the splendid quality of thrift to our own undoubted spirit of patriotism. • It is the privilege of this bank through its
facilities to be of practical assistance to all who are practicing thrift
