Portable Dwelling
for Jack McCord
Among the shipment of supplies
and material which was sent to Ko
diak by Jack McCord, for re-shipment
to Sitkalidlak Island, was a portable
cabin, 12x16 feet in size, made local
ly to order by the Cal M. Brosius
Lumber Co. The cabin required con
siderable skill in laying out and
cutting so that no difficulty would
be encountered upon erecting it on
the island. Two windows and a door
are in the building and the interior
will be lined with Perfection plaster
board. The outside roof will be cov
ered with corrugated iron.
Erba Hughes, popular young Miss
of Anchorage was a Seward arrival
last night. During her visit here
she is the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Thos. Dyer.

GOOD TEST
—of the purity and stability of a
motor oil is the amount of carbon
it forms.
0
Zerolene forms, on an average,
30% less carbon than other oils.
The carbon is soft and fluify and
most of it blows out with the ex
haust. For this reason the Zero
lene-lubricated automobile or mo
tor-boat may be driven from 25 %
to 50% farther without having
the valves ground or the cylinders
rebored.
Zerolene forms less carbon than
any other motor oil \noum to us.
Insist on Zerolene—a better oil.
Ask for it by name—Zerolene.
