If you should happen to ’wake
lip some morning with a head
ache and it should happen that
you hadn’t looked upon the mule
when it was white, the night be
fore, blame it to the water; that
is, if you indulge in water that
comes from the creek.
Whether or not it is generally
known that the slops from the
camp above drain into the creek
is debatable, but the fact remains
that they do. W* Investigated!
Now there’s no use arguing the
fact that because no one has got
ten ill so far, no one will. The
cheapest way to avoid sickness
is to avoid the cause and in this
instance it can easily be done if
you walk 75 feet further. You
can then obtain pure spring wat
er.
Of course your time is valuable
out so is your health, anyway it
only means the expenditure of a
a couple of minutes extra and
if you should fall sick,how many
( f thosi extra minutes would it
hike to pay the doctor bill?
We expect that no one will pay
the slightest attention to this
warning, but we have gotten it
out our systems anyhow*

We were quite amused by a
recent interview that Was print
ed by one of our contemporaries
The statement was made that
concrete had been poured for the
piers. Strange the crew at the
bridge don’t know about it.
“Mah Jong Must Pay Tax”,says
newspaper headline. Well it is
only fair for her to pay taxes.
Pah Jong has been paying more
than his share for a long time.

’’Find Many Legged Reptile
On Campus”, says a University
Press Bulletin. Criminal the way
those college “fellers” abuse the
stuff!
A scientist says that a beauti
ful mouth can be obtained by
pressing the lips tightly togeth
er. Also we might add—a beauti
ful silence.

Bill Longley states that he

mer.
Mrs. Brown and Jim Murie
took a two days trip out to the
roadhouse for the purpose of

Alaska Coal Is Sought
Fol* Radio Plants
At the request of Captain Rock
well, district superintendent of
naval radio stations in Alaska,
the Alaska railroad has quoted
i
prices on Matanuska coal.,deliver
ed at Seward, with strong indi- j
cations that the navy may use the
local product entirely for its
| wireless plans in the north, says
the Ancorage times.
Should the terms be acceptable
to the navy, it is beleived that
I contracts will immediately be let
| with coal operators for about
10.000 tons of coal a year, the
i the quantity it is estimated the
navy would need for the radio
stations
At the present time the navy
radio stations in Alaska are burn
ing Canadian and Pocahontas coal
The Alaska coal,of almost equal
fuel value, can be sold at a great
saving to the navy.
