THE
ASPIRIN
SITUATION
Don’t Be Deceived
by Aspirin advertisements being run by
those who seek to discredit all Aspirin
Tablets except those made by them.
The Facts Are
that we regularly handle large quantities of Aspirin U. C. Do. Tablets
that we know are Pure and Genuine. They are rigidly tested by first
class chemists and are put out by a firm of the very highest standing,
the United Drug Company of Boston. We, as Rexall Druggists, are
their exclusive agents in Cordova.
The Aspirin patent expired in 1917 and anyone can now make
Aspirin and sell it under that name.
Aspirin U. C. Co. Tablets are put up in packages of 12’s; 24’s; 100’s.
The price is modertae, for there is no profiteering in Urvited Drug Co.
business methods.

OBJECT OF NAVY I
I COMMISSION IS
I
“We came North to mine coal,” was
the straightforward answer of Com
mander E. C. Dowling of the navy
commission, when asked by a Seward
Gateway representative what was the
purpose of the navy commission on
the present trip. Commander Dowl
ing and his aides arrived on the Ala
meda and will remain in Seward sev
eral days studying the situation at
this end and will then®go to the Mat
anuska coail fields, the scene where
the commission’s activities will center.
Accompanying Commander Dowl
ing are Lieut. W. F. Hill, Lieut H. J. j
McManus, Lieut. Phil. J. Weiss, Lieut. I
Harry H. Tipton and Lieut R. T. Can- j
i non.
Commander Dowling and Lieut Hill
are accompanied by their wives,
and Lieut Weiss is accompanied by ■
his sister. The commission party is
making its headquarters at the
Hotel Seward while in the city.
Commander Dowling looked a trifle ;
surprised yesterday afternoon when
asked for the purpose of the navy
commission. His answer, however,
came quickly and was as different
from the answer of other heads of
commissions as there is between day
and night.
The navy commission now in Alas-'
ka has come for work.
Other commissions, and their num
ber seems to have been legion, have
come to report, and then this has been
forgotten.
According to advance reports and
from information obtained from the
members of the present commission,
mining coal will be started in the
Matanuska fields for the Pacific fleet
, of the American navy. The coal will
be. or should be, shipped to navigable
water. The primary thing is to get
the coal from the earth, and to get it
to a location where navy ships may
have it for use at any time of the
year, when wanted. If the present
commission accomplishes this purpose
it will have done what other com
missions to Alaska, all put together,
have only thought of, not attempted.
Commander Dowling is an* impres
sive man, impresses one like a real
commander and one who means busi
ness. The other members of the com
mission also give one the instant im
pression that they are different from
members of former commissions sent
to Alaska, and have come to execute,
not to report.
There continually floats around this
section of Alaska a rumor that some
future time Portage bay will be a site
for coal bunkers and a coaling station
similar to those planned at Seward
On the map Portage bay looks like a
good suggestion, but the twelve miles
of railroad which would have to be
built from the present government
railroad to Portage bay will not be
built in a night. There is practically
five miles of tunnel work and then
part of the roadway would lead over
something that no one seems to know
exactly whether it is a surface glacier
or one extending down into the earth
! for a great distance. Then millions of
dollars would have to be spent in
clearing out reefs, rocks and other
preventatives to navigation before any
sane commander of a large vessel
would attempt many maneuverings in
the bay. On the map Portage bay
looks feasible, but in reality, a for
tune would have to be spent to make
that location available. Anchorage and
Seward are therefore, according to re
ports of commissions, the only two
practical points for the outlet of the
Matanuska coal.

DEISEL ENGINES
ON STEAMERS
OF ALASKA LINE
The Alaska steamship company is
perfecting plans to install Deisel en
gines in its vessels running north,
and soon the merry put-put of the gas
engine will be heard from the Ala
meda, Northwestern and Alaska, as
they enter port, according to infor
mation received from Seattle on one
of the last boats.
By the installation of these oil en
gines, which have proven a success
in ocean going vessels, the company
will add tremendously to the cargo
space, take a larger number of men
from the engine and firerooms, and
consume about 90 barrels of fuel oil
on a trip now taking hundreds of
barrels.
The freighters of the company will
be among the first boats changed over,
to be followed by the passenger ves
sels.
The move will be an innovation in
steamship circles, as it will be the
first line to equip all its vessels with
Deisels.
