POWER PLANT
CAPACITY TO
BE INCREASED
A. J. MacConnell, president of the
Alaska Public Utilities who has spent
the past four months in the states on
business in connection with his power
company will leavie Seattle December
30 on his return to Cordova prepared
to give this town a perpetual service
second to none in the country.
While in New' York Mr. MacConnell
purchased the latest type De La
Vergne oil engine, which under test
developed 323 porse power. It weighs
about 8.1,000 pounds and when install
ed will cost approximately $30,000
This will give the company a dupli
cate auxiliary plant at the foot of C.
Avenue of a total capacity of about
450 horse power. The present unit
was purchased during the war period
when the purchase of a new engine
was out of the question. It was one
o^ the earlier types of engine and
the best that could be secured at that
time.
With the new unit installed all
service problems should be solved.
Since Mr. MacConnell has taken over
the power plant he has inaugurated
many improvements and is deserving
of much credit for all that has been
accomplished under the most adverse
conditions, when labor and material
had advanced and was not always
available. It might also be mentioned
in this connection that while rates
for all utilities in the states have
been raised from ten to forty per
cent, the charge for telephones, light
or power in Cordova has never been
' WALKER WINS
IN BILLIARD
TOURNAMENT
Roy Walker won first place in the
handicap billiard tournament at the
Horseshoe billiard hall last night
when he defeated Dr. W. H. Chase
144 to 93, in the last game of the
finals This game gave T. J. Bronsky
second and Dr. Chase third place, the
three cue experts winning a billiard
cue, a meerschaum pipe and a bo>
of cigars respectively.
*" The game between Walker and
Chase was slow from the standpoint
of the spectators, as neither mar
played up to his usual game. Chase’s
average was, with one exception, the
lowest he made during the entire
tournament series. He made a pool
start in the game, and at the end ol
the first fifteen innings Walker led
by twenty points, and steadily in
creased his lead.
The success of this tournament has
led E. L. Harwood, manager of the
Horseshoe, to start another, whict
will begin next week. The handicap
ping in the tournament just endec
was largely a matter of guesswork
as there was no way to determine ex
actly the odds at which the mei
should play. Now, however, the aver
ages made by the playeres during the
past series are available, and give i
definite check upon their ability, per
mitting odds to be set which will be
fair to every player. It is from these
*■ averages only that the handicaps foi
the next tournament will be deter
mined.
In the new tournament each con
testant will play until he has lost twe
games, when he will automatically
drop from the tournament.
The prizes will be cash: First, $25;
second, $15; and third, $10.

A PARABLE OF THE LAST
MINUTE CHRISTMAS SHOPPER
Said Hubby to Wifie
One morning at eight,
“Christinas shopping today.
Or waiting till late?"
Said Wifie to Hubby,
“I’ve time and to spare;
It’s early December.
Why hasten or care?”
So she waited and waited
Till three days before
The great day approached,
Then rushed to a store.
But she gave to her spending
Not a single wise thought,
So hectic her shopping
She simply just bought.
She pushed and she grabbed.
Had scraps with her neighbors;
She was worn and torn
And sore from her labors.
Till on gay Christmas morn,
When others were jesting.
She stayed In her bed
From shopping just resting.
And the gifts that she sent
Were sans rhyme or reason.
Dad’s gloves were too big,
Mother’s fan out of season.
And old Uncle Si,
Who viewed with disdain
“Them proud city chaps,”
Was blessed with a cane.
Brother Ted was the butt
Of many wise quips,
For sister had sent him
Some rouge for the lips
Dear Prue looked with horror
On a lace undershirt,
And Muriel gaped at
A pipe, tagged “for Bert.”
And Hubby, alas!
Had no present at all.
For Wifie had bungled
And bought him a doll!

LOVE’S GIFT
came to us with the birth of Jesus
Christ, God's Son and Men's Savior.
When God gave His Son, He taught
us the real joy one may receive when
we give our gifts in love.
A loveless gift will chill and harden
a sympathetic soul and prepare a
soil in which the seeds of hypocrisy
may grow and bear its selfish fruit.
A love gift will warm and soften
the selfish soul and will fuse all man
kind into a Christian brotherhood.
Christ’s work and ministry was one
of love. Hence, we find the result
of His work, so vast, so far-reaching,
so abiding, and so worthy of our emu
lation. The world is dying for a lit
tle bit of love! Who is withholding
his or her bit of love, as he or she
serves?
