DESCRIPTION OF
SNOW TRACTORS
IS PRESENTED
ROAD COMMISSION IN FAIRBANKS
HAS NEW TYPE OF TRAC
TOR IN USE
Considerable discussion, pro and con
mostly con, have taken place in Se
ward since the announcement last
week of Captain Whitlam, skipper of
the U. S. S.S. Boxer, in which he stat
ed he was doubtful that the proposed
tractor journey to Point Barrow from
Nenana, would be made by the North
Pie expedition of the Detroit Avia
tion Society. The advance party, and
the tractors will arrive in Seward
Saturday on the S.S. Northwestern.
Cal Brosius has completed the con
struction of the ten special double
ender sledges and with the arrival of
the party, local folk will have the op
portunity of viewing the machines.
The editor of the mechanical de
partment of the Gateway relates his
version of what the special tractors
are, also their manipulation thru .the
snows, thus:
The running gear of the tractor
consists of two large, blunt-nosed
drums revolving in opposite directions
on lengthening axlels. Around the
drums, in opposing spirals, runs a con
tinuous vane or fin, called the ‘skate,’
which acts against the snow precisely
as do the blades or buckets on the
screw propeller of a ship. Once the
clutch has been let in, the turning of
the drums, is controlled by the steer
ing wheel. Each drum receives its
power through a separate clutch
which, depending on the position of
the steering gear, engaged or disen
gages.
During recent tests, the snow motor
has traveled, at twelve miles an hour,
through snow drifts that balked a
horse. To mount the tractor on the
snow motor chassis it is necessary
merely to remove the tractor’s front
and rear axels and wheels; then the
driveshaft is connected to the special
gearbox that contains the double steer
ing clutch, the steering gear is hook
ed up, and the ‘outfit is ready to go.
Much interest is centered upon the
trial of the new snow motor recently
received at Fairbanks a short time
ago by the Alaska Road Commission
department which is believed to be
similar in design as those arriving
Saturday. According to an announce
ment in the Fairbanks News-Miner if
the tractor is found to be successful
in its adaption to local conditions, may
be used extensively by the commis
sion and individuals. The machine is
similar in design as that described
above. Trial trips have been made
with the Fairbanks tractor also from
the town to Tenderfoot, hauling a load
of bridge timbers and supplies and
from recent reports they were highly
satisfactory. Frank McCafferty, mas
ter mechanic for the commission, and
who is well known in Seward having
been a visitor here two months ago,
is carrying on the Interior experi
ments with the tractor.
PINCHED POCKETBOOK CAUSES
VIENNA TO SHIRT MEAL HOURS
VIENNA, Jan. 19.(,/P)—A pinched
pocketbook is responsible for a re
arrangement of the habits of the best
society people in. Vienna, as far as
meals are eoncrened. Families are
trying to enjoy life as much as possi
ble on a small income and in order
to take in dances and music, have
abolished the set evening dinner.
Instead, tea is now taken an hour
later, generally at six o’clock, so that
sons and daughters working in the
city can participate. Circles of friends
take this meal at each others flats
inturn, and there is dancing to wire
less or the gramaphone until nine.
This is followed by a ‘"hot sausage”
meal with which horse-radish is serv
ed together with any sandwiches left
over from tea.
The new custom is considered not
only economical, ■ but tends to keep
society in better condition physical
ly, ladies preserving the slimness so
necessary for present-day fashions.
i MINOR LEAGUE OFFICIALS TO

tion this winter will be held on Cat

baseball plant of the Los Angeles
Coast League baseball club on Jan.
16.

rived in Seward Saturday from Moose
Pass where they were employed dur
ing the past summer at the N. O.
Anderson camp, left for Cordova on
the Alaska but are planning coming
back to Seward next spring.

nell for an indefinite period.

j
mmurn,
If you were the only person in town that traded with
mail order concerns—it would'hurt some— but it wouldn’t paralyze the
prosperity of the community.
The greatest injury would be in the influence your OUt
of-town-trading exerted over others. Other people might follow in your
foot-steps of foreign trading and that following would prove detrimental to
home business development and betterment of public welfare.
Set a good example. Be a home buyer. Take pride in
your community. Feel that money spent here at home is playing an
important part in building up the town. Know that it buys the goods
you want and goes towards some public good. That it helps increase the
efficiency of schools—puts down better street crossings—erects better
libraries—brightens the town’s lights—makes the parks more attractive—pays
for better police protection, etc.
Instead of fostering the mail order habit—fight it openly.
Teach the truth of home trading. Preach home patronage. Show mail
order buyers the error of their ways—and go out of your way to do it.
Local merchants handle the highest grade merchan
dise. They carry advertised brands. They sell at a proper
price—makes of goods that bear the stamp of honest manufacturers.
They deal open-handedly. They don’t cover up questionable quality
with private labels. They offer you the latest and most dependable
lines—in all lines of merchandise. Their stores are conveniently at hand. You
can reach them in a few short seconds—over the phone—or step right into their
places of business—give or leave your order—and have the goods delivered
straight to your home—all in a few minutes time.
They willingly accommodate you. They take particular
pains to give you just what you want right when you want it. You
don’t have to buy in big quantities to save freight or express charges. You can
spend less at a time—and save considerable sums in cash, to say nothing of the
great saving of time and trouble.
Advocate those advantages. Do mail order traders a
good turn by turning them away from away-from-home buying—liven
up local business, and by so doing speed the town along the road of progress.
Spend your money where it will in turn be spent for
local improvements instead of sending it away to fatten business and
better conditions of other communities. Support the community that supports you.
