W. L. Hawkes, superintendent of
the Home Power company, admitted
today that the big water mains .sup
plying water to the city would be al
most certain to freeze if the weather
does not moderate soon. The water
mains are laid six feet deep, but the
protracted and Intense cold has driven
the frost deep into the ground. The
water mains are of wood and wood re>
sists frost better than iron. Had the
| mains been iron they would have
been already frozen.
The four inch drain pipe which
flushes the mains was frozen ten
days ago and this increases the likll
hood of the mains freezing, for with
the drain pipe frozen there is little
circulation in the pipes. On Main
street the rnaius have already frozen
and in many cases the supply pipes
connecting residences with the mains
are closed by ice.
If the mains should freeze Skagway
would be in serious danger should a
fire break out.

Getting out a newspaper is often
strenuous business. Rver and anon
earthquakes cut off cable communi
cation and now and then a press or
a typesetting machine will be on
the repair list. The paper always is
published, however, no matter what
the difficulties.
Today It was a 'case of frozen
pipes. The pipes feeding the water
motor that operates the Mergantlmler
and the press of The Alaskan were
almost frozen this morning. As a
consequence the power was feeble
and intermittent
Jack Keller and Henry Phillips held
a diagnosis and after giviug the
pipes several applications of hot
towels, varied with blasts from a
plumber's blowpipe, succeeded in get
ting the machinery moving. Late in
the afternoon, however, the pow >r
again threatened to play out and re
lays of small boys took turns in help
ing the motor revolve the press.
