WATER SHORTAGE AT PLANT
The hydro-electric plant is op
etrating on short hours these
days ,power being cut off from
one o’clock at night until five
in the morning. This is due to
the fact that water in the dam is
so low that sufficient pressure is
not obtained to run the plant at
normal capacity for the full day.
Leaks in crevices above the
dam are responsible for this. Re
pairs haye never made because
when it rained, it was not neces
sary and when water was need
ed most, weather conditions and
snow and ice prevented.
ARTiSTIC, ACCURATE AND
INFORMATIVE

“One of the greatest obstacles
we encounter to ‘sell’ the Ter
ritory to the American public, is
the damaging misconception
which most people have that the
u
Territory is cold, bleak and un
inviting” says E. G. McMicken,
Passenger Traffic Manager of
the Admiral Line. “This thot,
of course, became rather firmly
implanted in the public mind or
iginally by those opposed to the
purchase and whereas little has
been done to counteract it, much
has been done by disinterested
outside factors to keep the thot
prevalent. We have for sever
al years been trying, in many
ways, to offset this harmful in
fluence and create the true and
proper conception. All of our
advertising, including our news
paper advertising thruout the
Pacific Northwest and in the na
tional magazines is carefully de
signed toward this end, and we
anticipate that our new book, 20,
000 copies of which are being dis
tributed thruout the country,
will prove a helpful contribution
toward this purpose.”
The Admiral Line inaugerates
its Southeastern Alaska Cruises
on the ninth of May and ends
them on the 26th of September.
The Dorothy Alexander and
Admiral Rogers will operate in
the service, stated Mr. E. G. Mc
Micken, passenger Traffic agent
who declared that pre-tourist
reports indicate a heavy traffic
this year.

He followed these remarks by
stating the need of a school
gymnasium and the offer of the
P. A. F. Company to give to the,
town for school purposes a large j
lot adjoining the schoolhouse. |
Such location would make pos
sible heating from the school
plant, upkeep, etc., which ex
pense would be no small item.
He asked that a rising vote be giv
en to indicate if that idea were
favorable. It being so, he indi
cated that through the Commer
cial Club this would be taken up
at the first meeting and arrange
ments made to go into plans
more in detail.
This part of the program end
ed and the crowd adjourned to
the rooms upstairs where lunch
was being served. Coffee, sand
wiches and cake made many a

shorter. The main floor was
cleared and the happy crowd
spent the balance of the evening
in dancing.
