City Attorney Coppernoll, of Sew
ard. "bo is representing that town at
Washington, called upon the Assistant
United States Treasurer in regard to
making Seward a port or entry, and
also interviewed the commissioner of
the General t-and office on municipal
matters. Writing from the national
capital. Mr. Coppernoll says.
“I might add that the administra
tion forces here mistrust the motives
or some real estate owners in Sew
ard. They believe that some inter
ests there would try to shift the bur
den of taxation upon the buyers of
lots at the government sale. They al
so believe that the rivalry between
newspapers and other interests at
Seward and Anchorage should cease
and the people of each town work in
harmony and accord. Seward s in
terests are being carefully guarded
here, and you can rest assured that
the government railroad will be com
pleted to the coal fields and to Fair
banks as originally planned. Seward
and the near vicinity will be the scene
of great activity this year, and the
work will start early.”

EIFFEL WIRELESS
FLUSHES THE i
f
h
PARIS, Keh. 2. — The Kiff'l tower,
which transmits the official anil sup
posedly exact hour three times a day
to ships scattered over the sea, as
well as to all lnnd wireless stations,
suspended Its morning transmissions
recently; the effect was a general
inquiry as to whether the Kiffei tower
has gone wrong. It is still working
twice a day.
The time is furnished to the wire
less station by two clocks, one in a
dell;$r 25 yards below the surface ■
of the earth, and protected by a double
covering of copper and glass against
I changes of temperature anil of atmos
pheric pressure; the other is plunged
into a tank where the temperature is!
maintained at a constant point. The !
clocks are called "time regulators," |
wound up every 30 seconds by a sys- |
tern of batteries placed alongside a
I
dozen observation instruments. the
time regulators are verified by com
parison with meridian glasses. All
i the indications thus taken are central
ized in the clock room, where, at fixed
hours, commanding appliances put the
Kiffei tower wireless post in move
rnent, sending the exact hour within j
the hundredth part of a second all {
oyer the world.

INS I ALLINK ItLtrnllNr.S
ALONG THE THAI!
Starting out from Valdez about ten j
days ago. First Class Sergeant Brogan
is now busy installing new telephone ij
systems along the trail between aj
number of the road houses and the i
telegraph offices. While the purpose
of installing these, according to the
recommendations of Lieut. Dougherty,
the officer in charge, is to safeguard
the men on the trail, and while they
are not to be considered for public
use, it is probable that they will be
used in any emergency.
The telephones will be installed be
tween Beaver Dam and Ptarmigan
(Drop, between Miller’s road house and
the telegraph station; between Birch
Lake and the McCarthy station, and j
several other places on the line.
A year ago a signal corps man lost
his life on the trail because he could
not get into communication with a
road house or telegraph office, and if i
is with the hope of preventing a simi
lar occurrence that the new system is '
‘ being installed.—Fairbanks NeWs
, Miner.
