CONSTRUCTION OF CAPE ST. ELIAS LIGHTHOUSE
WILL SOON BE UNDERWAY
ii !
Work of construction on the light
house nnd fog station to be built at
Cape 8t. Ellas. Alueka, probably the
most Important nld to navigation in
Northern waters, will begin May 1, ac
cording to notification received from
the department of commerce, at
Mt. St. Elias, Where New Light Is t o be Built, as Seen From Steamer
Washington, D. C. The lighthouse
and station is provided for In the
$500,000 appropriation made by the
last congress for aids to navigation
in the North.
The Cape St. Elias lighthouse and
station will be located on the south
end of Kayak island. It will be buill
upon a shelf 52 feet above sea level.
According to the news received the
plans adopted for the improvement
call for the construction of a square
tower supporting a cast-iron watch
room and a second order lantern with
its focal plane forty feet above the
bnse of the structure and ninety feet
above sea level.
A big fog gsinal will also be In
stalled. Dwellings will be erected
for three keepers.
The plans indicate that the station
will rank among the best in the North
Pacific. On the terrace east and
north of the station will be located
the cooling tanks for the engines,
the fuel oil and illuminating oLl tanks,
cistern*, quarters for the keepers, and
a boat and hoisting engine house with
an inclined railway to sea level. The
buildings are to be of reinforced con
cretecrete and hollow terra cotta.
The Illuminating apparatus has al
ready been ordered. It will conwst
of a three-mantle lamp in a double
flashing lens of 180,000 candle-power,
with a range of fifteen and one-half
nautical tniiea. The fog signal will
consist of a six-inch automatic com
pressed air siren in duplicate. The
light will show a double white flash
every twenty seconds, while the fog
signal will consist of a double blast
of four seconds each every minute.
CORDOVA IS NOT
LOST IN THE
SHUFFLE
W. E. Cathcart has returned from
a trip to Juneau, and while there he
did a little boosting for Cordova, ac
cording to the following Interview
with him published in the Daily Dis
patch last Thursday:
“It is generally conceded by rail
road men the the Copper Klver route
is the most logical route for reaching
Fairbanks and all parts of the Tan
ana. It is to Alaska what the Co
lumbia river waterway is to the
Northwest Yo ucan never make me
believe that the government will
construct a line from' either Seward,
Port Wells or Ship Creek to Fair
banks.
"However, the government has
made a good bargain in securing the
Alaska Northern at the price it did,
for a road from tidewater to the Mat
anuska coal fields and up the Susit
na, and finally to the great Kusko
kwim valley, will open up an immense
district, rich in resources. In time
a system of railroads will be devel
oped in that section as important as
some of the trans-continental syst
tems outside.
“But mark my words, and keep it
under your hat for future reference,
the big tonnage in coal will finally
come out via Cordova. Bringing coal
out to Ship Creek on Cook Inlet can
never be more than a temporary and
emergency plan for Immediate naval
purposes. To bring coal to Seward
means adverse grades; to bring it to
Port Wells means the construction of
a long and costly tunnel.
“On the other hand coal can be
landed at Cordova from either the
Bering or Matanuska coal fields for
less than it can be landed at any
other port. All the data conctrning
the roads and grades and curvature
and approximate cost was reviewed
by the commission appointed by
President Taft, which fecommendeu
in favor of the Cordova route for
reaching the Tanana and in favor of
the Seward route for traversing the
Susltna and Kuskokwim valleys. Each
road would, under this plan, open up
and develop an entirely different field
and not come into competition with
each other.
“Eventually the government will
want to establish a permanent naval
base in Alaska, and it is my hunch
that when the time comes it will
utilize the Cordova port.”

CAPETOWN, Apfll 26—Four Bol
diers of a small scouting contingent
recently sent out against the Ger
mans on the East African front, were
killed by an infuriated rinoceroe
accoording to the Weekly Cape Times.
The scouts had gone out in motor
cars, and the leading car was at
tacked without warning by the ani
mal, which overturned the automobile
and killed four of the occupants. It
took fifty men with knives to over
come the intruder, which put another
car out of action before it was killed.
