SHIFTING DESERT SANDS
THREATEN WESTERN TOWN
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28—Kelso,
a community of about 500 people |
situated on the Mojave desert north
east of here is threatened with de
struction by the shifting sands of the
| desert.
Three years ago a huge pile of
I sand, approximately half a mile
square, was noticed drifting near
Kelso. Constant winds, blowing
across the town and into the hot pit
of Death Valley, a few miles away,
were slowly moving the sand to
ward Kelso. The winds still blow,
and it is believed that at the rate
the dune is moving it will cover Kel
so with 50 feet of sand within the
j next five years unless the prepara
tion being made to ward off the me
nace are successful.
The Seward Machine Shops have
been unusually busy the past few
weeks on local work.

HESS TO START WINTER WORK
Ed. Hess, Ester creek miner,
plans to start operations for the
winter in the near future. Mr.
Hess, with a partner, has a lay on
2 above, one of the best claims on
the' creek. The ground is owned by
Mr. Belsie, who is now in the States.
Belsie made a fortune from the pro
perty in the early days. The ground
is about 30 feet deep, and no trouble
is had with water. A dump will be
taken out during the winter, and pos
sibly another one next summer. Mr.
Hess’ partner, known as “Marcoo” is
now on the Outside, but is expected
back sometime next month.
In partnership with Andy and Dick
Thorsen and "Marcoo,” Mr. Hess
took out a dump this summer. A
large crew of men was employed,
and it is reported that the cleanup
was very satisfactory.
The Seward Plumbing company has
installed a newr sign on the Seward
Hotel which is a beauty, and which
will be lighted tonight for the first
time. This sign was made entirely
by the plumbing company.
Thomas King, who recently sold
his ranch near town to Joseph Wil
son and sons, will leave on the Ad
miral Watson on a business trip to
Juneau. Mr. King will spend next
summer on the Porcupine with his
partner, looking after mining inter
ests.
Tile man who cusses his home town
generally is serving notice that he can
not keep up the pace his competitor i
sets.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
