LITTLE BUSINESS
YESTERDAY’S MEET
SEWARD CHAMBER
With the exception of a few com
munications read at yesterday’s week
ly .business meeting and luncheon of
the Seward Chamber of Commerce
little business took place. A fair
size attendance was at hand and a
nice repast was served by caterer
Mel Holtoen.
It was learned that the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and the Gov
ernor’s office ht Juneau were de
sirous of securing additional litera
ture on the Seward district. Copies
of last year’s circular and the re
cent special Prosperity Edition will
be supplied .them.
Following a considerable discussion
regarding a wagon road to Grant
Lake, Moose Pass district, which
branch road would be a little more
than a mile in length and which
would contribute much to the bene
fit of the A1 Soller sawmill and the
mining properties in the lake vicin
ity, a motion was regularly made and
passed that a letter be addressed to
the Cordova headquarters of the For
estry Service, asking their views on
the matter.
It was also suggested that a let
ter of appreciation ,be mailed to the
Great Northern, and the Northern Pa
cific railroads, thanking them for the
nationwide advertising campaign on
Alaska- being carried on this month
thru ten of the leading periodicals
of the United States.
A. H. Southagen of Douglas, Alas

PROOF
OF A BETTER OIL
The function of a lubricant is to
reduce friction and thus increase
the effective power of the engine.
The best proof that Zerolene does
this to a superlative degree is found
in the fad: that the Zerolenedubri'
cated automobile or motor'boat has
more driving power; it averages 5%
more gasoline mileage than when
other oils are used.
One good test of the purity and
stability of a motor oil is the amount
of carbon it forms. Zerolene forms
less carbon than any other motor oil
\nown to us. That is why the Zero'
lene-lubricated automobile or mo'
tor-boat may be driven from 25%
to 50% farther without having the
valves ground or the cylinders re'
bored.
Truly, you can buy no better oil
than Zerolene. Ask for it by name
—Zerolene.

NEW POWER MAP
VIRGINIA STATE
SUPPLYING OF CHEAP ELECTRIC
ENERGY ONE OF PRESSING
PROBLEMS OF THE DAY
WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 16. (TP)
—The Geological Survey, cooperat
ing with the Virginia Geological Sur
vey, has just published a new edition
of the map showing electric power
stations and transmission lines used
in public service in Virginia and the
river gaging statons maintained or
proposed. The map has been prepar
ed in connection with the work of
collecting uptodate statistics relating
to the production of power at cen
tran stations..and has been published
in connection with a cooperative in
vestigation of Virginia’s water re
sources.
The most pressing single problem
facing every civilized nation today is
that of supplying cheap electric en
ergy to meet the demands that are
constantly increasing. Virginia, with
its large potential water power, of
which only 11.2 per cent has been
developed, lies between the inter
connected transmission systems of
the 'South and the Northeast. These
two systems Avill eventually be con
nected, and in bringing about this
result the water powers of Virginia
will be an important factor. Further
more, the connecting lines between
the two systems will undoubtedly
pass thru Virginia.
The Virginia Power May is pub
lished on a scale of 1 to 500,000
(about 8 miles to the inch), with riv
ers shown in blue and power plants
and transmission lines shown in red.
It may be obtained from the Director j
of the Geological (Survey, Washing
ton, at 50 cents a copy.
Analysis of Water
from Florida State
WASHINGTON, D. €., Dec. 16. (ff)
—The Geological Survey of the De
partment of the Interior, in cooper
ation with the Bureau of Engineering
of the Florida State Board of Health,
has recently completed a survey of
the chemical character of the waters
of Florida. Analysis have been made
of typical natural surface and ground
waters thruout the State and of wa
ters served for public supplies.
Tabulations of the analysis are
available for consultation at the of
fice of the Geological (Survey in
Washington, D. C., and at the office
o fthe sanitary engineer of the State
