and magnificence with which the Ma

Here are a few of the things which
the maharajah has done which is now
causing London to stand agape looking
on in wide-eyed wonder:
The maharajah has taken the entire
fifth floor of the Savoy hotel, embrac
ing 100 rooms.
He has rented 20 limousine automo
biles for the entire period of his stay.
Keeps three automobiles standing
in front of the hotel day and night

He was formerly a fine cricket play

to much money contributed 29,000 in
fantry men and a camel corps to the

the1 special apartments that have been
set aside for her women-in-waiting.
The maharajah intends to do much
entertaining and visiting while in Lon
don, and will also be the guest of the
King.

WORLD'S LOFTIEST BUILDING, A
5,500 ROOM HOTEL, WILL BE
BUILT IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, September. 17. (£*)—
Smoking, drinking, and possibly Sun
day papers will be taboo nearly thru
out the world’s loftiest skyscraper, a
314,000,000—5,500 room hotel building
which Oscar A. Konkle, a realty oper
ator, plans to erect as a monument to
missionaries out of gratitude for the
recovery of his son from lock jaw.
The building will bq 65 stories, tow
ering SOO feet above the streets, eight
feet taller than the Woohvorth build
ing. Ten per cent of the profits will
go for missionary work. Each hotel
guest must sign a statement pledging
not to smoke, use tobacco or drink in
toxicants. Mr. Konkle hopes Sunday
newspapers also can be eliminated.
The major portion of the structure,
planned for Broadway and 122nd St.,
will be arranged for hotel purposes.

PORT ALEXANDER
SEEKS TRANSFER
OF RELIEF BOAT
ASKS GOVERNOR PARKS TO HAVE
UNALGA STATIONED THERE
DURING THE SUMMER
A petition has been received at the
Governor’s office at Juneau, from Port
Alexander, asking Governor Parks to
use his influence to have the Coast
Guard cutter Unalga stationed there
or in that vicinity during the sum
mer months. The plea is based on the
need for hospital and medical facili
ties which are not available in the dis
trict affected.
The petition is signed by numerous
persons as fishermen with headquar
ters at Port Alexander and merchants
of the same settlement. They claim
that between 500 and 600 fishing ves
sels make headquarters there during
the period from May to October. In
addition some 700 persons are said to
be employed at Port Walter, Port Ar
thur, Port Armstrong, Pillar Bay, and
Tepenkoff Bay, wrho would benefit by
a transfer of the Unalga to the district
from her present headquarters in this
port.
The document will be held here by
Secretary Harry G. Watson pending
the return of Governor Parks.
