ROAD COMMISSION BUYS
SURPLUS MACHINES
The Alaska Road Commission
has purchased all the used Army
equipment in the old BJL storage
yard in Seward.
All the machinery is in need of
repair and a great many parts are
missing. Included are gravel grad
ing machines, asphalt mixers, track
laying tractors, heavy trucks, and
turnapulls.
Enough parts were found on
four Oshkosh trucks to make three
complete trucks, which will he
used for roads on the Peninsula.
Two turnapulls and six ‘Cats' were
sent to Anchorage, with two turna
pulls and two small Cats left for
this end of the line.
Mr. Ralph Soberg, who is in
Seward directing .the work of re
moval and renovation, said that
many thousands of dollars will be
needed to remove and repair the
machinery, but when the work is
finished, the Road Commission
will have a lot of useful equipment
that it could not have purchased
otherwise.
CONCEALED WEAPON NETS
POLICE TARGET PISTOL
The Seward Police Department
is now- in possession of a .22 cali
ber target pistol, and have hopes
for having a target range in the
basement of the USO Building.
The pistol was acquired through
a trade-in of a .25 caliber auto
matic of Spanish make confiscated
from Bryce Mitchell, a seaman on
one of the ships recently in port.
Mitchell was arrested on a
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon and fined S75, and the
weapon confiscated. At the time!
no information was available con- '
coining Mitchell's past, but he gave
his home address as Seattle.
A routine check showed that he
had a record of a number of ar
rests.
The City of Seward received a
communication from Frank A.

gineer. requesting information con
cerning the amount of salary paid

KEATING FAMILY TAKES
TRIP OUTSIDE
Mrs. Clarence Keating and four
children have gone to the States
where they are to visit friends and
relatives in Seattle.
They were accompanied to An
chorage by Mr. Keating who ex
pects to remain in the Hub City
until the Territorial Legislature, of
which he is a member, meets in
January.
Captain Slagle has taken his
boat, the Uncle Sam. out of ttie
water and has it stored for the
winter.
Atlantic salmon, a resource al
most lost through negligence, is
being bred again in Maine; the
decline from former abundance is
due largely to the construction of
dams between the ocean and river
spawning grounds, and pollution
of the streams.
in Your Interest
JOHN' GUNTHER, noted
author of the book, “In
side U. S. A.”
-A traveler across
America cannot help but
be impressed with its greatness. A
country becomes great through the
hard work and thriftiness of its citi
zens. I know of no better way for
the encouragement of thrift than to
suggest continued investment by
everyone in U. S. Savings Bonds,
which, after all, represent the con
tinued greatness of our country.”
