Graff; and Victor K. Butler. At
the time of the organization of
the Corporation, their property
consisted of the following: Real
Estate (2 lots) valued at $1500.
Improvements (building or build
ings), $1500; Machinery and
Tools $1500; Pipeline, bridges,
and terminals, $8000, and Water
Rights valued at $500. Total,
$18,000. For this rather small
investment—even in terms of
1905 dollars—the Seward Light
and Power Company, secured a
serviceable plant, plenty of water
power, and an almost unlimited
market for its limited kilowatt
output.
After less than a year and a
half of existence as aperma
nently settled place, Seward had
the advantages of community
light and water. It was a modern
town offering metropolitan con
veniences. Few places in Alaska
could cite this attraction to the
prospective home-maker.

Auto Workers Get
One-Cent Pay Boost
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
government's new Cost of Liv
ing Index, issued today, was up
only a fraction but it was enough
to mean a one cent an hour pay
boost for nearly 1,000,000 auto
workers.
The Index, based on prices
as of July 15, was 185.5 per cent
of the 1935-39 average. This was
an increase of 0.2 per cent over
June 15.
Under auto industry and some
other contracts, an increase of
only one-tenth in the July 15
Index required a one-cent rise
in wage scales.
International Airport
Scheduled To Open
Early In October
ANCHORAGE (AP) — Open

Lample announced yesterday.
Lample, administrator of pub
lic airports for the Civil Aero
nautics Administration, said con
struction was proceeding as
rapidly as possible so airlines
may evacuate facilities at Elm
endorf Air Force Base which
are badly needed by the Air
Force.
Originally scheduled to begin
operations August 15, Interna
tional Airport construction has
been delayed repeatedly by a
lag in the delivery of materials.
A temporary passenger office
being erected is expected to be
completed by the time operations
begin in October.

Forty-Severe Dead In
California Crash
By Jerry T. Baulch
OAKLAND. CALIF. (AP) —
Forty-seven persons died on the
crest of a low hill near here
today as a million-dollar air
liner crashed and disintigratc d.
There were no survivors.
Hours later broken bodies
were being taken from the shat
tered wreckage of the United
Air Lines plane.
The plane, a DC-6-B, was fly
ing non-stop from Chicago to
Oakland. The flight originated
in Boston last night, and the
four-engine ship had stopped at
Hartford and Cleveland, in ad
dition to Chicago.
In Chicago, United Air Lines
said the list of 41 passengers
was sketchy, with some names
incomplete, and few home towns
listed.
Only five minutes before the
plane was to have landed at
Oakland airport, it crashed in
explicably into a low hill one
and a half miles east of Decoto,
a farming community about t:n
miles southeast of Oakland.
WOULD SUSPEND CZECH
TRADE UNTIL OATIS FREED
WASHINGTON (AP) — Con
gress has rolled up a 443 to 1
majority in favor of suspending
U. S. tracf? with Czechoslavakia
until that Communist nation
frees Associated Press corres
pondent William N. Oatis.
The Senate okayed the reso
lution yesterday, 81 to 0. The
House had passed it Aug. 14,
362 to 1, with only Rep. Wood
(D-Ga) dissenting.

Two Recover From
Asphyxiation
Quick thinking and swift ac
tion saved the lives of two sea
men working in the hold of the
tug Portugbar at the Seward
Fish and Cold Storage dock on
Tuesday night.
Vic Carlson and Abe Cook,
oilers, working in the hold of
the tug, were overcome by car
bon monoxide from the bilge
pump. Don Kinnley, first mate
and seaman Hap Cole dragged
the men to the deck, where it
was discovered that Carlson was
in sierious condition.
Frank Perry put in a call to
the police department for the
resusticater and ambulance. Of
ficer Kirkpatrick responded af
ter notifying the hospital. He
was accompanied by fire chief
Kielcheski and Stan Niegemann
with the resuscitator.
Carlson was taken to the hos
pital in th: police car driven by
Kielcheski, while Kirkpatrick
and Niegemann worked over
Cook wth the resuscitator in the
ambulance while enroute to the
hospital.
Both men were re-leased the
next day after treatment at the
hospital.
Miss Florence Ullrich is ex
pected on thie train next Monday
night. She will possibly give a
radio broadcast on home nursing
and civil defense.
We could be staunch believers
in heredity, too, if a rich uncle
left us a fortune, like happens
to some people.
If everything seems to be go

flop into a success.
