NEW SPEED BOAT
TAKES TO WATER
_
After five weeks arduous labors,
Fred Stanley and Nick Beillor have
succeeded in completing their new
speed boat, and the launching cere
i mony was held yesterday.
The boat is a snappy little craft,
with all the latest modern appliances,
including a three and one-half horse
power Evinrude and a gee-pole, the
j motor for motive power, and the
gee-pole for leading the craft around
the sharp bends of the Tar.ana.
Stanley says the gee-pole was an idea
of Nick, though Nick insist* that the
honor belongs to Stanley.
| During the launching a serious
| accident was narrowly averted by
the quick foot-work of the mariners.
Both happened to step on the same
| side of the boat at once, and it was
almost a case of “two in the water |
; easy,” but the craft righted herself
before any damage was done.
No name has been decided upon
j as yet. Nick wants to call it the1
“Runabout” because the engine has
developed a tendency to run aboutj
three minutes and then lay off. Stan-:
ley is for cal'ing it the “Morpheus” |
because the engine is always going!
to sleep on them However, the name 1
will be settled on the next trial trip.
The trial trip to Wood river was
successfully carried out last evening
and the craft showed signs of such
speed that they are thinking of enter
ing her in the Fourth of July races.
Only the bravest of the brave wit
nessed the launching yesterday, as
the failure of the “phut-phut” to
work continually, caused much lan
guage more forcible than elegant.
Stanley is there as a chef, but when ;
it comes to navigating, Little Joe
says he is the chief of the Tavern
crew.

While the attractiveness of the j
program, a Pathe and a five-reel
Triangle Kay-Bee, at the Coliseufi P
on Friday night for the benefit of i'
the Red Cross, would appear to be, i
in itself, sufficient to fill the house, I
the announcement that an oppor- *
cunity will then be had to hear the j*
first “4-Minute Woman” will surely js
make necessary the S. R. O. sign. *

ladies has been prevailed on by those
in charge of the drive to take her 1
turn in the four-minute campaign, 1

LONG LOYAL LEAGUE 1
DISCOVERS A "SLACKER” ,
At a meeting of the Long Loyal *
League recently during the investi- (
gation of the application for mem- *
bership of Peter Brady, it developed C
that he was of draft age and had 4
failed to register.
The marshal’s office was immedi
ately notified and a complaint laid :1
against Brady, charging him with s
violating section five, Selective Ser- *
vice law. Brady was taken to Ruby,
where he waived preliminary exam
ination and was bound over to the
district court by Commissioner Do- s
Vane. Brady claims that ignorance c
was the reason for his failure to i
register and has iv formed the mar- c
shal’s office that he is willing to f
be registered and given a number j I
that will be drawn for the first j r
quota. Brady is a British subject. I
TERRITORY BUYS
BIG SHOVEL FOR
USE IN CHANNEL
I __
Marion Steam Shove] to Be Used By
Road Commission for Variety
of Work.
According to a statement made
recently by Territorial Road Com
missioner Ed Hurlbut, at Juneau, an
order has been placed for a Marion
steam shovel, which has a capacity
i for “eating up ground faster than
thirty men can shovel.”
j Mr. Hurlbut has just returned to
Juneau from a three month’s visit
' to the States, where he made a spe
cial investigation into the various
| kinds of equipment that would be
| suitable for dredging the bar be
I tween Mendenhall glacier and Doug
las Island.
Many machines were examined
that would be serviceable for bar
work, but the one Mr. Hurlbut
selected was one, which in his opin
ion, would be of constant service
either for bar work, which is re
quired from time to time, or for
road work, which is always neces
sary.
The machine has been ordered
from the factory, to be delivered at
Seattle at an early date, government
orders not interfering, and the fac
tory price, not including the freight,
is .$8,790. If everything goes as it
is calculated, the small boats can
be crossing in the new channel by
June 1. But the channel will be
deepened and widened by going over
it a second time as soon as possible
This machine is of the traction
engine type, with a donkey engine
mounted on four 24-inch traction
wheels. While the machine is wider
than the average wagon, it is not
so wide that it will not run on a I
wagon road. The weight is approxi
mately eighteen tons, the heavy steel
boom is thrity-three feet long and is j
rigged to be changed, with the shift
ing of a few bolts, from a water dig-.
ger, opearted on a clam-shell basis,
to a land-digger for road work.
BROAD PASS IS
10 BE EXPERTED
_
F. Le Roi Thurmond, an assayer,
who has been located at Anchorage
for some time, left thro March 19
for the Broad Pass country and will
make a thorough survey of the dis
trict with a view of putting some
of the properties which have been
pretty thoroughly prospected up to
New York parties whom he has in
terested.
There is ro doubt of the ultimate
?reat value of the Bora ! Pass coun
try, and thongs are shaping them
selves so that this section should -
have a gr>at deal of renewed in
terest this year. 1
In no part of Alaska has the hold- |
ap-hand of the world war been felt 1
more than in that area. In 1914, 1
four long years ago, there was quite 1
i boom in that section, and quite a <
number of Outside people went in
and looker the field over, and some
if them made locations. Every in
dication at that time, and from then
until the present time, has shown
that the section is of great value
in a mineral way.
Transportation, the great draw
back will soon be settled, as the
main line between Anchorage and j
Fairbanks will be right at the door!
if the properties, and as soon as i
:here is a breathing spell so that I
capital can get interested in any- j
;hing besides the making of war j
material, the Broad Pass section |
■vill come into its own and will un- j'
loubtedly show value sufficient to j.
support a population equal in num |
iers to all who now reside in Alaska id

NEW GASOLINE WILL
HAVE STRANGE COLOR
If the gasoline you buy for fuel
this year has a peculiar yellow color
and a still more peculiar and not
exactly pleasant smell, don't become
alarmed and jump to the conclusion
that the Germans are slipping: some
thing over.
Indirectly, the kaiser will be to
blame for it, at that, but for all
its color and smell the gasoline will
be just as good as before. Neither
color nor smell will affect its effi
ciency as engine fuel in the least,
and nobody buys gasoline for its
looks.
The explanation for the new color
and the new smell, both of which
are coming to stay for the duration
of the war, if not longer is very
simple. It is due to the fact that
sudphuric acid has become altogether
too valuable a commodity to use in
treating gasoline.
The sulphuric acid treatment of1
gasoline, refiners declare, in no way
improves its quality or “pep.” All
in the world the treatment accom
plishes, they say, is to remove the [
yellow color and the smell. More-;
over, the process of treatment wastes
both acid and gasoline, so that eli
minating the treatment accomplishes
two important war economies at
once.
Mrs. Fred Carter underwent an
operation at the Government hospital
today.
BOIL THE WATER
- !
I>r. Malcolm E. Smith, health 1
officer of the town of Nenan, has
issued instructions to the public G, 1
boil all water used for drinking pur- !
poses. The general flooding of the j
town has contaminated all wells in
the flooded l rea, and the use of
this water, unless boiled, undoubt- j
edly would result in much sickness. |
The Valdez Packing company is
rapidly being put in shape to handle
an enormous catch expected this
year. Manager John Emil has a
large crew of men at work repair
ing the boats and installing the new
machinery for a two line cannery
The plant operated one line last year
and made a record.
