This morning the Cordova Power
company began excavating for the
foundation for its new De La Vergne
engine which will be Installed in the
new auxiliary power plant, 40x60.
which was recently erected on the
point opposite the cable office. This
engine weighs 80,000 pounds and two
cars are transporting it from New
York, where it left on November 17,
for Seattle and as soon as it arrives
at the latter place it will be immedi
ately shipped to Cordova.
Although the new management
has been in charge only since July
, 1, no time or expense has been spar
, ed to give the public the best service
possible, and with that end in view
the auxllliary plant is being installed
so that there will be no interruption
in the service, in case the line to the
central plant goes down. This tm
provement has necessarily been some
what delayed as it was impossible to
get immediate delivery on machin
ery, due to war conditions prevailing
| in the States.

Judge Royal A. Gunnison, of Juneau,

sent the following self-explanatory
1 telegram to W. R. Hillary, of this city:
Herbert Hoover, National food ad
ministrator, advises December sixth
the circulation of unwarranted and
malicious reports in Chicago by par
ties interested in exploiting sale of
meat and protesting against wheat
less and meatless days as unnecessary
sacrifices bv American people.
The administrator characterizes all
j such utterances as foolish and un
patriotic. He says that owing to the
critical situation of the world's food
today opposition to government eon
, servation measures is comparable to
opposition to the draft because fail
1 ures in feeding our allies, that results
j immediate loss of life aside from seri
I ous interference with our war meas
ures in feeding our allies that results
from meatless days have for the first
I time created a sufficient visible sup
ply of meat to allow us to partially
^ comply with quantities requested by
the allies for shipment this month and
urges continued devotion to food con
1 servation further that notwithstanding
the exportation of the whole of the
surplus nineteen seveteen wheat crop
above normal demand of our own peo
ple. It is necessary to restrict the ex
port of wheat so as to retain in the
United States sufficient supply to car
ry our own people until next harvest
and Jhat even with all the conserva
tion made we are still unable to load
over four hundred thousand tons of
foodstuffs urgently required by the
allies this month.
