The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allows you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of ‘;no storage batteries.” This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation.

DETROIT STRUGGLES
TO MAKE ROAD WAY
FOR ITS CAR OUTPUT
DETROIT, Jan. 4. (£>)—Detroit
wasn’t so niucli until the automobile
came chugging into the picture. But
just as too much prosperity frequent
ly proves an expensive thing, so do
many officials here suggest that too
many automobiles may spoil the mu
nicipal broth.
Almost everyone in Detroit, it
seems, drives. Everyone with as lit
tle as $5 for a first payment is a
potential purchaser. Detroit makes
more automobiles than any other
city; two hundred thousand of its
population are employed in automo
bile factories. They make motor
cars, and they ride in them.
J. C. McEachern, sawmill and log
ging camp operator from Days Harbor,
arrived in town last Saturday. Mr.
Eachern is a guest at the hotel Over
land.
The Skulstad brothers, Arthur and
Tom, arrived in Seward Saturday on
the steamer Alameda. They have
been in the States and-are on their
way to Sand Point, to the Westward.
The brothers will leave the tenth of
this month on the steamer Starr.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Flannigan, who
arrived in Seward last Saturday on
the S. S. Alameda, departed yesterday

YOUNG SON OF
AL DAVIS SINGS
XMAS CAROLS
(The Alaska Weekly)
Alaskans in Seattle who had the
pleasure of attending the singing of
Christmas carols at the Metropolitan
theatre in Seattle last Sunday,, heard
for the first time the voice of Master
Hedley Davis, an Alaska born young
ster, who was one of the singers.
Hedley Davis was born in Seward,
Alaska, and is the son of A1 Davis,
the well-known transportation man,
and pioneer of Cook Inlet and Kenai
Peninsula districts, and a member of
the firm of Hoben and Davis.
Master Hedley has been attending
the Seattle public schools and was one
of the group selected from fifty-five
thousand pupils to take part in the an
nual event.
We have an idea that Father A1
would have given something pretty
handsome to have been able to tune
in from up Seward way last Sunday
night, and it would have been a migh
ty proud Dad who listened in and the
chances are that he would have had
nothing on Uncle Harry Hoben at
that, or Uncle Pete Ogle, either.
Anchorage Family Mores
To Southeastern Alaska
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard G. Peck, res
idents of Anchorage for the last two
years, passed through Seward Satur
day on their way to Juneau where, it
is expected, they will locate perma
nently. Their small son accompan
! ied them. Mr. Peck arrived in Anch
{orage from Fairbanks two years ago,
land with his former partner, Milton
Rice, embarked in the plumbing busi
ness. They were later bought out by
H. C. Bennett plumbing and heating
1 establishment, which company was
absorbed by the Anchorage Commer
cial Company. Mr. Rice passed thru
Seward for Seattle, last month. He
expects to return to southeastern Al
aska in the near future and it is quite
possible the former partners will en
gage in the plumbing and heating bus
iness in Juneau. Since disposing of
his interests to the firm, Mr. Peck
was employed at various times by the
Anchorage Commercial company and
the Alaska Railroad.
