dredge, when completed. Referring
back to the beginning of activities,
preparatory to moving the machin
ery, timbers and equipment from the
railroad to Fish Creek, 30 miles away
from Fairbanks, the material was
transported half way to the creek
where rail connections ended where
it was unloaded and left to the ar
rangements of the company to con
vey the remainder of the distance.
Within a month, by super-human ef
fort almost, from the time the ma
terial was set off at the rail end, un
der the management of Mr. Lemons,
over 800 tons of the material was
transported satisfactory to the creek
bank, a feat wrhich, according to Mr.
Whitworth, has been unequalled in
the North. When it is considered
the bad weather which was met with,
oausing the roads to become ram
bles of mail, hub deep, forcing the
company to additional expenditures
in the purchase of tractors and oth
er machines with which to haul the
material in, the enormous amount of
tonnage freighted in to the creek
site in such short space of time, is
readily seen was a great task.
30 Men On the Job.
Since July 1, the assembling of
the complete hull has been under
way with a crew of about 30 men.
To the crew Mr. Whifworth paid a
marked compliment for their untiring
and consistent efforts to shove the
work ahead as rapidly as possible.
He could not say at the present time
just how many men wou’l be em
ployed on the dredge, following its
competion.
Praises Pioneers Alaska.
Mr. Whitworth said unstinted
praise to the pioneers of Alaska is
due them for the rough and ready
measures used in the development of
the country. Their determination and
persistency in bringing the frontier
territory to its present standing, is
a wonderful showing. The courtesy
of the Alaska Railroad officials and
employes, over the entire line to Gil
more, was one of the outstanding
features which Mr. Whitworth said
his company would ever recall. The
anxiety to help in what ever man
ner they might, was very assuring
and most satisfactory. Endeavors of
this sort, where there is no com
petition, is remarkable, he continued,
and is a splendid asset to the ter
ritory.

Seward Dock Loaded
Down with Barrels;
For Westward Salteries
OPPORTUNITY FOR COOPERAGE
PLANTS PRESELF TO EN
TERPRISING INDIVIDUAL
The fishing business in the Cook
Inlet district has never been better
than this year, according to Seward
arrivals yesterday. The Gorman plant
at Anchorage has packed 14,000 cases
of salmon, a considerable more than
they had anticipated. From the low
er inlet the salmon run was good but
the herring industry has literally
swamped the salteries. Captain Tom
Perry of the mail boat Salmo, which
plies between Anchorage and Seldovia,
during the summer months, is au
thority for the statement that there is
a good opening for a barrel factory
in this region. This year it is esti-1
mated there will be more than 30,000
barrels and cooperage stock shipped
into the Inlet district. A walk down
to the Seward dock this evening will
convince one there may be a good
deal of truth in Capt. Perry’s state
ment for the local dock is crowded
with barrels from one end to the oth
er. All will be loaded aboard the
steamer Redondo, which is scheduled
to depart for the westward tomorrow.
Seaplane Trip To Inlet

o’clock this afternoon but after reach
ing the desired altitude and finding
a heavy storm prevailing inland, re
turned to the landing place near the
Seward dock.

Swedish Prisoners Convert
Farm Into Model Penal Home
HALMCTED, Aug. 17. (&)—An
abandoned farm has become Swe
den’s model penal colony. About
five years ago the government con
ceived the idea of sending prisoners
there to complete their terms at out
door work in virtual freedom. Trans
fer to the farm was made the re
ward for good behavior and now is
the gial of all Swedish prisoners.
The land has been put under cul
tivation by the prisoners so success
fully that it serves as an object les
sen to peasants of the district.
Notwithstanding the complete free
dom of movement permitted for farm
work, none of the prisoners has at
tempted to escape.
Airplanes Will Use Steam
As Power, Briton Predicts
CARDIFF, Aug. 17. (JP)—The use of
steam engines in anrplanes was pre
dicted by Dr. John S. Haldane at
the annual meeting of the Institute
of Mining Engineers.
In the course af a paper on coal
and steam, Dr. Haldane said in the
very near future he believed steam
engines would take the place of in
ternal combustion engines to a very
great extent, and that future devel
opment of the steam engine would be
along the lines of increased steam
pressure with smaller and lighter
engines. The complete engine and
boiler would be much smalled and
lighter than an equivalent internal
combustion engine, and would in all
probability be more suitable and
even superior for use in airplanes
and motor cars.
Another scientist, Sir John Cad
man, said he looked upon oil as a
phase which was passing. YVhat oil
was doing today coal would do again
tomorrow', altho oil would go into
certain channels of use which coal
would never again be able to regain.
