The light station and fog signal at
Cape St. Elias are now both working
in proper style, according to William
J. Wright, constructor for (he light
house service.
When first installed this summer,
.he fog signal would not work, and
the force at the station could not get
it in shape to make the proper signals.
The engines for compressing the air
to work the horns would not run and
the force at the station could not find
out what was the matter.
An expert on fog signals was sent
north from the factory which made
the machinery for the plant, and
found that the oil purchased hy the
department for the engines was too
high grade and until lower grade oil
was secured (he engines would not
work properly.
The lighthouse tender Kukui wont
to Cape St. Elias a short time ago with
the expert on board, bound for the sta
tion. Soon after his arrival at the
station the trouble was found.
"When we left there less than a
week ago the plant was working per
fectly, and with a new shipment of
lower grade oil, which has been re
ceived, it is expected that the engines
will not give any further trouble,”
said Mr. Wright, who has returned
from the station.

Several skaters at Seward are re
ported to be nursing sore spots as
the result of violent contact with the
ice. One lady is reported as having
nearly suffered a permanent injury to
her spine and a man was at first
thought to have fractured his skull.

There Is as much difference I n Ranges as there Is In horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one Is cheap at the
price, and another is dear at any p rice. See the MAJESTIC display
