JAPAN TO USE
BIG QUANTITY
OFOUR COTTON;
GALVESTON, Texas, Oct. 14 (by
Associated Press).—Japan will use
one million bales of American cotton
this year, and Oriental shippers will
i*bute as much of this as possible
through the port of Galveston, ac
cording to K. Fujita, president of the
Texas Gosbo Company, who was here
recently in company with H. Kita, a
director of the parent company in
Japan.
Japanese shippers are dissatisfied
with the manner in which cotton is
handled through the Pacific coast
ports, according to Mr. FujUa, espe
cially through delays in booking and
lack of facilities. Last year, he said,
the Gosbo company routed 4,000 bales
through Galveston and was well satis
fied with the promptness add facility
with which the shipments were dis
patched.
“The United States Shipping Board,”
said Mr. Fujita, “is willing to furnish
bottoms for cotton to the Orient, and
probably will do so, but shippers are
unable to do business with the board
while it asks a rate of $2 on high
density cotton from Galveston. I be
lieve some of the shipping to Japan
during this season will be carried in
British bottoms. In addition, Japa
nese shipping! companies are plan
ning to put’ three or four steamers
into the Galveston service.
“The Chinese and Indian cotton is
inferior to the American staple, and
Japanese mills are demanding not
only a better but a longer grade of
cotton.

NENANA COAL !
MINES UNDER
NEW OWNERS
—:—•- I
NENANA, Oct. 15.—According to a
statement made here, a new coal com
pany has entered the field and will
take over the Burns holdings on Lig
nite and push the development of this
property with all -possible speed. The
new company is called the Healey
River Coal Corporation. It is headed
by GUs Peterson and Thomas McKin
non of Fairbanks, as president and
vice president respectively, and George
Markus of Nenana is secretary and
treasurer.
No details in the change in man
agement have been made public. It
is not known whether or not Mr.
Burns retains an interest in the new
company.
It is stated, however, that the new
operators intend to start work imme
diately. The first step to be taken by
them will be to make the tunnels al
ready driven into the coal vein safe
for the men. A working shaft will
also be sunk. It is said that a double
drum hoist will be installed at an
early date, and a large pump put in.
Substantial mine buildings and bunk
houses will be constructed *and the
company will put in its own plant for
furnishing electric lights for these
structures. The corporation, it is
stated, will soon begin the erection of
a screening plant by means of which
it will eliminate the dust which has
heretofore been a drawback in the
use of this coal for fuel. The com
pany intends to employ three shifts
of men in its operations from the very
beginning of work.

You Must Have
Goodrich Boots
WHEN you journey far over
rugged trails, away from ail
sources of supply, and into the
freezing lonesomeness of claim,
mine or camp, there is one thing
you must have—
Boots of proved dependability—
boots that will endure no matter
what the test; rubber tough
enough to withstand the attacks
of jagged formations of ice and
rock—thick enough to exclude the
dampness and cold—yet pliable
enough to give lasting comfort.
In Goodrich “Hi-Press” you have
this serviceable combination. You
will get the toughest rubber ever
moulded into a boot, a rubber
with the life of steel.

i4 Net
for washing your filmy things
i
The cleansing of the filmy, cob
webby things that come to our
laundry in your family bundle—
the silken underwear, dainty
shirtwaists and gossamer Geor
gettes and laces—has become a
fine art with us.
These articles of apparel, to
which a scrubboard would be
ruination, are never touched by
awkward hands when we wash
them.
•
In lieu of the none-too-gentle
practices of the laundress, we
employ a much safer method.
We place these finer articles in
special nets—each according to
its kind —for washing by gentle
sousing and rinsing.
These nets are purse-like in
shape — in fact they closely re
semble the common mesh purse.
They are somewhat larger, how
ever, and made of cloth instead
of metal.
Secure in these nets, the sheerest
articles are cleansed without
coming into contact with wash- f
boards or the hands of workers. 1
Pure soft water and suds of a f
mild white soap, weaving in and I
out through the meshes, give j
your things a freshness and
beauty that make them as new.
_ *
The care we use on garments
and apparel of this kind is typi
cal of that whiQh we exercise in |
the washing of everything. No- |
where is there any friction and
rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
