cargo of freight, consisting of a big
shipment of lumber for the Alaskan
| Engineering Commission and Mait
land and McNally in addition to a
large consignment of freight for local
merchants.
Big Tractor to
Handle Freight
Fred Spengler, who until recently
has been employed at the Wm. Martin
mine in the Willow creek district, has
spi-ung an innovation on the traveling
and freighting public that promises
good results. They say it takes a che
chaco to put new ideas into the
1 country and offer new suggestions '
and in the case of Mr. Spengler it ■
seems that he has supplied a long
felt want that will be both remunera
tive and a blessing.
Mr. Spengler conceived the idea of
bringing a caterpillar tractor into
this country’ to handle the heavy traf
fic between Ivnik and the Willow creek 1
mines; he immediately’ put his idea
into execution and this morning the
freighter Wellesley brought a 75
horse power Holt caterpillar tractor. ‘
together with requisite equipment for
freighting.
This machine will be operated be
tween Knik and the Willow creek
mines, Matanuska Junction and rail
road 'points; also between any other
accessible points in the vicinity where !
volume of freight will, justify instal- .
lation.
With the increased freight ship
ments made possible by further de
velopment of the Willow creek mines
and the fanning country in the Mata
nuska valley Mr. Spengler will prob- i
ably ship in his other machine just as
soon as the additional run of business
demands increased service.
The caterpillar was unloaded at
' ship side onto a barge this afternoon
and will be towed to Knik by’ the
launch Swan.
I. N. Bennett will have charge of
the mechanical end of the machine
and Mr. Spengler will be business!
manager; this is the first machine of
this kind £o be shipped into the coun
try and will no doubt be a winner
.from the first trip. Mr. Spengler is
to be congratulated upon his fore
sight and The Daily Times predicts
success for this new undertaking.
On a recent trip north of the North
western, a waiter, H. J. Hunter, was
taken insane just before the boat ar
rived at Ketchikan. He was talfjn
ashore there, but as he showed no
signs of improvement, he was sent to
the Momingside Sanitarium at Port
land.

THE WISHING RING”
DRAWS BIG HOUSE
When Marguerite Clark decided to
>ecome a star on the legitimate stage,
she accepted Owen Davis play “The
A'ishing Ring,” as her vehicle. Viv
an Martin, one of the daintiest creat-1
ires ever seen before the camera, ap
>ears in the picturization of that play
ihown at the Empress theatre last
light and to be repeated tonight.
The picture is an idyll and is of
he early Victocar. period in* England.
Chester Barnet appears as Giles, the
ion of the gouty Earl of Bateson,
vhile Miss Mavtin plays Saliy, the i
cor parson’s c Slighter, whoso love
'or loses briigs her into a world that!
•pens her eyes to the beauties of na-1
ure. “The Wishing Ring” is a
inique picture, so different from the
iverage action! ul feature that it is an
njusti." to the producer to attempt to
ell in words what he has shown on
;he screen. The charm that is inher
ent in the picture is of the kind that;
evaporates in the telling of the story.!
Naturally one longs to know as much |
is possible regarding features to be
seen, but in the case of Vivian Martin ;
n “The Wishing Ring,” it is best that
me go to the Empress in search of a
ileasant surprise, because one will
surely get it in seeing this picture.
