EASY MONEY
A failure of the transportation
companies to take ore from Skag
way that the Copper Queen mine
of Whitehorse wanted very much
to have shipped resulted in making
$5,000 for the company. While the
ore was waiting for shipmen in the
bunkers at Skagway the government
raised the price of copper 2% cents
a pound, and the company got the
advantage of it quite unexpectedly.
What does the enemy care wheth
er food is sunk in the sea, or thrown
into the garbage can? It is all the
same to the kaiser.

| ELECTRICITY IS USED
TO GENERATE STEAM
TREADWELL.—For the past few
weeks, steam has been generated
from an electrically fired boiler ?t
the Treadwell power plant and, is
effecting an immense saving in the
cost of fuel oil, which was formerly
used in generating the steam for the
various departments and mines of
Treadwell.
The boiler is 30 inches in dia
meter, nine feet tall and stands on
end. It uses 2,300 volts, single
phase, of alternating current power.
A steel shaft six inches in diametei
is suspended vertically in the centei
of the boiler and is insulated from
the shell, except from the circuit
completed by the water. The pat!
of the electric current is first from
j one line through the center shaft
| then through the water to the boilei
J shell, then on to the other line wire
i The boiler employs its own wa
j ter as its “heating element’’ then
being no coils or metallic heatin:
wires whatsoever. No heat is de
veloped any place except in thi
water itself, the friction betweei
the electricity and the water, caui
ing the heat. The boiler require
practically no attention

HOME TALENT SHOWS
ENTERTAIN TROOPS
CAMP CODY, N. M—Soldiers in
training here do not depend upon
outside theatrical companies for
their entertainment. The division
exchange theater is the most popu
lar place in camp for there the en
, tertainers of Camp Cody appear al
most nightly. A number of the men
who took part in the Cody minstrels
remain in camp and, with the as
1 sistance of others recruited from
among the selective draft troops
; recently sent here, the soldiers are
given high class entertainments.
A typical program at the division
' exchange theater includes an gx
! centric musical act during which the
musician squeezes music from every
thing from a biscuit box to a row
; of pop bottleSj Scotch dialect songs
by the various “Scotties” in camp,
' vocal solos, instrumental numbers
and concerts by their regimental
bands. The theater is under the
■ direction of the division adjutant.
We must conquer the whims of
! our own .appetites before we can
; hope to conquer the German menace.
