WILL CONSTRUCT
SECOND STORY TO
GARAGE BUILDING
Judging from present business con
ditions, P. M. Ogle, proprietor of
Ogle’s garage, contemplates the erec
tion this summer of a second story
to his concrete structure, which, ac
cording to many, carries the reputa
tion of being the best of its kind in
the territory, absolutely fire-proof,
barring none.
If his present plans mature, a hy
draulic hoist will be put in to the
rear and inside of the garage, to
lift the automobiles to the upper
floor. Due to the weather, Mr. Ogle
believes this will be much more sat
isfactory than an outside runway.
His plans also call for the moving
of the machine shop from the main
floor to the second floor. An apart
ment will be built toward the front
of the building, on the second floor,
which Mr. Ogle will occupy himself.
A second heating plant unit will be
placed in position in the sub-base
ment, assuring an even heat thruout
the garage at all times.

N0ELWIEN TO FLY
SEWARD-FAIRBANKS
WITH NEW BIPLANE
Noel Wien, the intrepid Interior
aviator, informs the Seward Gate
way in a letter received in the last
mail, that he expects to arrive in
Seward shortly to receive his new,
and huge Fokker, three-place plane,
now being shipped north. Aviator
Wien says the plane may be shipped
into Fairbanks but in all probabili
ties he will fly the big plane inside,
direct from this city, into the heart
of the Golden North.
The plane, owing to its large size,
was shipped vie the Panama Canal.
Upon its arrival at Seattle, the Boe
ing Airplane company is supervising
the shipping of the plane from that
port to Seward. While on his trip
Outside last winter, Wien tested the
big plane thoroughly making some 30
test flight, solo style, at Long Isl
and, New York. It is stated the
plane cost the sum of $12,000, f.o.b.

Trips To States Are
Costly, Says Alaskan
“It’s good to be back home in Al
aska again,” D. A. Quinn, property
owner of Anchorage stated yester
day to the Daily Gateway, prior to
his departure for his home after a
winter spent in the States. Mrs.
Quinn remained in Seattle but will
leave on one of the next steamers
for Seward.
The only trouble about these jaunts
to the Outside is the tremendous
expense, Mr. Quinn said. However,
he still has enough of the filthy lu
cre left to keep the wolves away
for some time to come. The Quinns
made their home near Everett, dur
ing the winter, and from this point,
from which highways and byways
radiate out in every direction, they
took many an automobile trip which
they enjoyed to the utmost of pleas
ure.
During the early part of the win
ter Mrs. Quinn was not feeling as
well as she would have liked, but
Mr. Quinn says she is returning much
improved in health. Mr. Quinn is
the owner of several choice lots and
store buildings in Anchorage.
