SOON TO HAVE
PLANT AND POWER STATION TO
BE ERECTED BY COMMISSION
WILL COST ABOUT
$50,000.00.
The cost of the electrical plant and
power installation to be constructed
here by the Commission will be ap
proximately $50,000, exclusive of the
poles, the street lighting system, or
the labor. It is expected that ground
will be broken this week for the build
ing to house the installation. The
first work to be done will be the lay
ing of the boiler and stack founda
tions. The stack should be here very
soon, as the contract was let several
weeks ago to the Seattle Boiler
Works. It will be six feet in diame
ter, and will tower 90 feet in the air.
The brick for the boiler foundations
arived on the “Crook” several days
ago. It is of interest that the two
boilers, which are now here, waiting
to be installed, along with the two
75 K. W.-D. C. generators, were used
in Panama to furnish power for
crushing the rock which went into
the construction of the Gatun Locks.
There will be four forms of energy
supplied by the new power plant:
First, the alternating current for the
city, the street lighting and the termi
nal; second, the direct current, which
will be used by the shops for power
and possibly for light in case of a
shortage of the alternating current
third, the compressed air lor the
shops; and last the exhaust steam for
heating the shops. Power will be fur
nished by two batteries of cwo boil
ers, each having a capacity of 135 h.
p. Tire water here does not seem to
have a very severe effect on the boil
er tubes. The thick porous scale,
formed by the water at Panama is
loosened by the action of the Anchor
age water, and after it disappears on
ly a thin hard scale will form.
The city light and power will be
furnished by a new 100 K. W.-A. C.
steam turbine generator which is now
in the course of const ruction by the
General Electric Co., at Schenectady,
N. Y. This generator, along with the
accessories, will cost around $5',650,
October. The Commission is congrat
ulating itself on obtaining this ouctit
this year, for any other kind of a
plant would require at least a year
before delivery could be made. All
the electrical manufacturing compa
nies are working to their extreme lim
it of production and if it was not for
the fact that this order was from the
government Anchorage might not
have electric service this winter, or
next year either, for that matter.
The lighting system for the town
will be more or less temporary this
winter. Lights will be installed on
the darker streets, but it is not ex
pected that the main streets will be
lighted, as the Commission wishes to
' wait until a good permanent system
can be put in. Due to the great rush
of war orders for {heir other prod
ucts, the factories making the stand
ard:', etc., could not supply them in
j time for this year.
Many of the Anchorage shops and
trades requiring power are waiting
anxiously until they can run their ma
chinery by electricity and it is hoped
that the Commission will lose no time
! after the equipment arrives in putting
1 it in operation.
| “THE PLUNDERER” ROMANCE
OF LOVE, HATE, TRIALS AND
SUCCESS AT THE EMPRESS
“The Plunderer,” affords for Will
iam Farnum a real “Farnum Part.”
A pulse-stiring battle with bare fists
in which Big Bill (William Farnum)
bests a score of drink-crazed miners
in a fight, that for sheer thrills and
| heart-catching excitement has never
been excelled on stage or screen, is
j one of the big features of this super
picture.
Then, too, there is a splendid double
love-story which leaves a happy glow'
in the spectator’s mind. In fact “The
Plunderer” is as perfect a photoplay
i as has yet been achieved, and deals
with clean, manly men, affecting sen
timent, the lust for yellow gold and
swift, dramatic drama.
The final climax where Big Bill
and his partner discover their enemy
is the most stirring of all.
“The Plunderer” will be the pro
gram a second time at the Empress
this evening. 8-16-lt

RIGGS’ DAUGHTER
HAS DIPHTHERIA
FAIRBANKS, August 16.—By the
order of the local health officer, the
home of Commissioner Thomas Riggs
Jr., is quarantined, due to the illness
of his daughter, who is a victim of
diphtheria. There are no other cases
in Fairbanks.

RAM TREATY
—
WASHINGTON, August 16.—The
ratification of the treaty whereby the
United States purchases from the
Danish government the Danish West
Indies will come up for early consid
eration by the United States senate.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
treaty will be ratified, because of the
advantage of owning the islands for
strategical purposes.
AUTO PLUNGES
THROUGH BRIDGE
FAIRBANKS, August 6.—Six joy
riders narrowly escaped yesterday,
when an auto in which they were rill
ing plunged through the bridge that
crosses Noyes slough. While the mem
bers of the party were badly shaken
up and received flesh wounds, none
are seriously injured.
It Pays to Advertise
Yesterday The Times’ classified
column contained a notice saying that
a bracelet had been lost. Before the
paper was fairly on the street a man
returned it to this office. This morn
ing the owner of the bracelet called,
was delighted, left a substantial re
ward for the finder and went away
happy.
In another case, an honest man
found a key. Dozens of people who
lose keys regularly have called but
the key is still here.
Moral—It pays to advertise, lost
found, wanted, for sale, for rent, etc.,
in The Times’ classified column.
