To Spencer Glacier
“THROUGH THE LOOP”
AND RETURN VIA THE ALASKA RAILROAD
All visitors to Alaska whose time will not permit them to
make the Interior Trip to Fairbanks, are urged to follow the
Sunday Excursion from Seward to Spencer Glacier and return—■
by far the most interesting, educational and attractive short
trip to be had in Alaska. Route follows the shore of picturesque
Kenai Lako several miles; passes through the Kenai Mountains
and shaft-like Placer River canyon; traverses the mountainous
“Loop District,” and offers travelers marvelous close-up views
of mighty kBartlet and Spencer Glaciers. This Special Sunday
Excursion, covering a total of 124 miles( offers visitors making
the roundtrip on same steamer an opportunity to see a generous
portion of Interior Alaska scenic offerings during layover of the
boat at Seward—and is tremendously worth while. Excursion
leaves Seward at 8:00 a. m. and returns at 2:15 p.m., allowing
travelers ample time to connect with steamer for return to
Seattle. For details of trip see agent at Seward Dock.
$7.50 FOR THE ROUND TRIP.

Whooping cough, despite effort*
to accumulate information on how
it can be avoided, still constitutes
“a very serious factor in the deaths
of children,” according to the U. S.
Public Health Service.
During the last twenty-five years
very little progress has beon made
in the control of whooping cough.
Its prevalence has been errat
ic. Since 1920 deaths from this
disease in some years has doubled
and trebled for those for the pro
ceeding year.
Whooping cough essentially is a
slayer of infants and children un
der five years of age. From 1918
j -,o 1922, out of 42575 deaths from
I this disease 22,914 or 53.72 perecnt
were of children under one year of
j age and 94 percent were under five
| years of age.
j The Public Health Service de
| claies that this information should
1 teach parents the importance of
j preventive methods and safeguard
ing of the child from the disease.
! The most important method of
| combating thediseaso is through the
! education of parents with regard to
the danger of affection in very
young children.
Public Health authorities have
also ascertained through intensive
study that older children have bet
ter chances of surviving an attack
of this disease. Chief failure in
controlling this disease is due to
the fact that from 7 to 12 days
(lapse from the beginning of the
cough until diagnosis is made and
most cases not usually recognized
until the “whoop” appears.
INFLUENZA

A survey of the wave of influenza
which pervaded the United States j
showed a marked increase in the
death rate as compared with the

Who "Owns”
Union Oil ?
The answer is, “10,200 people,” of whom no one indi
vidual owns more than 2 per cent. Probably some of
your friends are “owners.”
MEN, women, children, widows, or
phans, employes, bankers, shop
girls, doctors, lawyers, clerks, executives
—perhaps some friends of yours—ore
numbered among the stockholders of
Union Oil Company of California.
A community of people, not a group
of capitalists—a representative Ameri
can public, not a few rich men or one or
two wealthy “estates”—are the “own
ers of Union Oil Company.”
A number of so-called “small people**
own as many as two shares—quoted on
the market today at a price between
^404)0 and $ 50.00—so their entire
“holding* ” amount to the grand total
of Jess than $ 100. Small savings—but
part ownership nevertheless,and“Union
OtT- welcome* pH »o ownership no mat
ter how email the bolding.
But wa neiiwe we are proudest to
number among the names of our stock
holders those of out own employes.
And most of this stockholding by cm*
ployes is investment ownership, with no
thought of speculation. It is “rainy**
day” saving—capital account—a “stake**
for independence.
It represents belief in the Company,
confidence and trust in its permanence
and future.
To us, this means deep obligation on
our part—a trust that we must keep.
And in keeping it for those who work
for us we keep it for all others—for our
selves who own our own stock, for our
employes, and for you outside. Because
you own the same stock as we do if you
are on our stockholders’ list.
So when you think of “Union Oil,**
think of it as human—as an institution
owned and operated by an everyday type
of home-loving human beings, not by the
wealthy or by a few “big capitalists.”
Union Oil Company of California is
a Western Company, making non
ine reason is, Decause
they know us best. Be
cause they are part of us.
Know our intent, our
ideals, our aims and aspi
rations. They know
whether our standards are
merely mottoes or are ac
tually adhered to. They
know us as a family group,
know one another, with
out bur company “man
ners’ on. {

1925. "Were It not for the over
shadowing epidemic of 1918, which
caused over 600,000 deaths in the
United States alone, and the epi
demic of 1920 which caused
100,000 deaths in this country,”
the report states the death rate
for 1926 would have been regarded
a calamity.
Too early to make accurate ap
praisal of damage done by the epi
demic of 1920, comparison of re
ports from more than 60 cities with
j a gross population of 30,000,000
indicate the severe aspect of the
I wave. A survey of the annual death
rate in these cities show an in
! crease of 19.4 percent per 1,000 in
the week of March 21-27, which
was 4.6 per 1,000 or 31 percent
! higher than the rate for the corres
| ponding week of 1925.
CAUSE OF BLINDNESS
STUDIED IN SCHOOLS
A canvass of schools and classes
for the blind in the United States
has recently been made by the
American Foundation for the
Blind; to obtain information re
garding the prevalence of ophthal
mia neonatorum as a cause of
blindness. This disease causes eye
soreness in new born infants.
Tabulation of replies to question
aires showed that 19.1 percent of !
the total number in the school year
.1924-1925 and 11.5 percent of the
new pupils admitted in that year'
were blind from that cause. This
is the lowest percentage yet attain
able states the Childrens Bureau of,
the Department of Labor. Twenty- j
four of the 57 schools and classes;
interviewed reported no new cases
among their new pupils.
Radio Stations
In Alaska
E. B. Calvert, Chief of the Fore
caste Division of the U. S. Weather
Bureau announces the plan for the
location of additional radio stations
in Alaska for the collection of'
weather reports.
R. C. IVTize, meteoroligist in
chaige of the Bureau’s Alaska ser
vice left on a tour of inspection
trip recently with the view of es
tablishing radio stations at Gam
bell, St. Lawrence Island, and at
Kotzebue. The Kotzebue station
will be in a region from which re
ports have never been received.
Later on the Bureau plans to es
tablish a radio station at Wiseman
which is well north of the Arctic
Circle.
Mark Losses Final
Speculators who have lost large
sums of money through purchase of
German marks and bonds and ex
pected Congress to come to their
i escue are without recourse. Sen
ators and Representatives have re
ceived letters from people who have
lost money in such investments and
expect to be recouped out of the
Jnited States Treasury.
“It is futile,“said Senator Stans
field member of the Senate Finance!
Committee, “for parties to en
deavor to present any such proposal
to Congress. Congress would view
it as a speculative venture on the
part if those who invested their
money, took their chances and lost.
There will certainly be no legisla
tion along such line.
The end of the lesson for those
who speculated in the misfortune
of Germany.
Washington-Texas in One Day
An airplane flight from Washing
ton, D. C. ,to San Antonia, Texas,
a distance of 1,600 miles has been
accomplished in one day. The fight
was made by Major Carl Spatz of
Army Air Service who hopped off
from Bolling Field, Wash., at
5:10 a.m. enroute to Kelly Field,
San Antonia. He arrived at 7:30
p.m. the same day. A new Curtiss
single seater pursuit plane of the
P-1 type was used.
Senator Cummins
Passed Away
Stricken with heart attack, Sen
ator Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa passed away on the night of
July 31st. He had not been in
very good health for sometime.
Senator Cummins will be remem
bered as being chairman of the
Senate Judiciary Committee and al
so chairman of the sub-committee
which turned down Presidential
nominations for the judiciary in
Alaska last spring. He it was who
urged the president to withdraw
his nominations and thereby avoid
the humiliation of rejection by the
Senate.
Senator Cummings was elected
to the United States Senate by the
progressive movement of the Re
publican party ^n 1908 but as time
passed he gradually swung back in-'
to the conservative ranks. For the|
past 5 years he has been president
pro tempore of the Senate. In the
primaries he was defeated for re
election by Senator Brookhart, un
seated Senator from Iowa.
