OIL TANKER
For service in Alaska waters in the
development work of the Bering River
Coal Co., a wooden tanker was re
cently launched and completed at Seat
tle by E. W. Heath. The vessel is 65
feet long, 15 feet beam and depth, C
feet 4 inches. The boat was designed
by L. H. Coolidge, of Seattle, and is
being equipped with cargo tanks hav
ing a capacity of 12,000 gallons. In
addition, she will carry 1,500 gallons
in her fuel oil tanks for her own use.
Besides the oil in the cargo tanks,
she will be able to carry approximately
1,500 gallons in drums on her decks.
Completed, the baby tanker will rep
resent an expenditure of $35,000.
The hull is of extra heavy construc
tion, and if she happened; to run
aground in ordinary weather, the mis
hap will not necessarily be serious.
She is being equipped with twin sixty
horsepower Enterprise engines, giving
120 horsepower. This will enable her
to tow scows loaded with coal or with
fuel oil in drums.
Pilot house control of the engine
will make it possible for two men to
operate her, one having charge of the
wheel and engine and the other on
deck to handle the lines. In an emer
gency, one man could handle the
vessel.

GOOD COMEDY BUT
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
_ 9
The story of “Oh Johnny,” showing
tonight at the Empress opens when
j Louis Bennison, as Johnny Burke, dis
covers a lost gold mine and a beauti
ful girl in a secluded section of the
western plains.
The girl is claimed by relatives who
pose as rich and exclusive New York
ers but are in fact hypocritcal para
sites who live on her dividends and
scheme to involve her with a fake
nobleman.
It’s up to Johnny to save both the
girl and her fortune, and he hurries
east, where he is not at all apprecia
ted by the relatives.
There is a lot of comedy, and some
rapid fire situations both amusing and
dramatic. Bennison, as a smiling gun
man, turns loose with some fast, fur
ious and highly effective action. He
has a wonderful personality that gets
across from the screen, just as it did
from the stage. He’s human, natural
and convincing. He is one of the com
ing stars.
The Episcopal Guild will hold an
other cooking sale on Saturday after
noon, September 18, at Hegg’s store.

C. W. Cheatham, engineer in charge
of the work being carried on by the
bureau of public roads has returned to
his headquarters at Ketchikan from an!
inspection trip to the westward. He;
visited Seward, Kenai river, Cordova,
Valdez and Katalla.
The bureau of public roads has
taken over all the road construction
work which was being conducted by
the Alaska Road commission in the
forest aereas of Alaska. The bureau
is a branch of the department of agri
culture, while the commission is a
part of the war department. The com
mission will continue to carry on con
struction work in the interior. The
forest service is continuing to con
struct trails as in the past.
Mr. Cheatham said today that a
more or less complete system of roads
has been mapped out for the coast
area of Southeastern and Western Al
aska. In time it will be possible to1
travel along a wide section of the coast
by wagon or auto. Where it is im
possible to build connecting roads the
gaps between sections will be covered
by water transportation. \
Work is now under way on a system j
fl
of roads which will connect Seward
ward and Anchorage, and the month
Kenai river.
i
A road is under way from Cordova j
to a point a few miles up the Copper
River & Northwestern Railroad.
A road is under way from Cordova
to a few miles up the Copper River
& Northwestern Railroad.
Katalla will be connected with the
oil fields by wagon road, the work!
being well under way now.
A road is being pushed from Ju-;
neau north to the mouth of the Eagle ■
river. In time, it is believed, this
road will be continued to Skagway.
It is now possible to travel from!
Skagway to Valdez by wagon road,
with the exception of one or two gaps
which can be covered by boat. The
road runs to Whitehorse, and thence
along the Yukon river to Dawson. A
boat must be taken to Circle, from
which point a wagon can cover the
greater part of the distance to Fair
banks. A good road runs from Fair
banks to Valdez. 1,1
