Not A Butterfly
Money that has slipped through your
fingers in the last twelve months is
gone. You can’t recapture it again
with a butterfly net, because someone
else now owns it and enjoys its use.
You can, however, determine to bank a
part of each dollar you will earn during
this year. That is* the first step in
building up a growing bank account.
A growing bank account means more
than more money. It means less worry
and greater independence for you.
of Seward
Seward, Alaska, Feb. 18, 1924.
COMMENCING on September 1, 1924, the
SEWARD LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY
will distribute electric current through meters
only. The rate for lighting, and all other uses
where the unit demand is one electrical horse
power or less will be fifteen cents per kilowatt
hour payable monthly. Current for motors
and other current consuming devices whose
unit demand exceeds one electrical horse-power
will be supplied at the rate of ten cents per kilo
watt hour, payable monthly, through separate
meters, but the right to regulate the hours for
such use is reserved to the Company.
The minimum charge for lighting, and other
uses where the unit demand is one electrical
horse-power or less, will be fifty cents for each
ampere of meter’s rated capacity per month.
The minimum charge for motors or other cur
rent consuming devices whose unit demand ex
ceeds one electrical horse-power will be at the
rate of three dollars per month for each con
nected horse-power or fraction thereof.
Deposits to the value of meters will be re
; quired at the time of installation. They will be
I repaid to depositor or order upon return of
| meter in good condition, less a ten per cent ser
j vice charge, provided all sums then due the
Company shall have been paid. Meters will be
installed in the order of the applications there
for.

. u iidia.Mva, me lx^ j oeen maue
, »n quxctv tiiixe wiuioui umiue incidents
except ior an occasionax blow on the
way out. uiticers on tixe vessel re
port tnat the Munuura uil Company
at Kanatak is now down i4U0 l’eet and
at the present time are engaged in
putting in casing. The formation
through which they are now drilling
is much softer than the ground drill
ed in the past, it is expected that
oil will be struck within a month or
so, and if it turns out to be a gusher,
there will be a stampede of people to
the oil bearing regions along the pe
I ninsula. While times are quiet at Ka
natak, the business men have had a
| fair winter and are not undismayed
over the prospects for a good season
this year.
i Among the passengers arriving on
j the Starr yesterday was George Jo
hcmsen, who was the only man aboard
1 the gasboat Viking when that vessel
went adrift at Kanatak several months
ago. Mr. Johansen had a harrowing
experience while adrift, but finally
I went ashort on a small island of the
|Trinity group southwest from Kodiak,
the vessel quickly breaking up. Noth
ing was saved from the Viking and
Mr. Johansen was lucky to escape
with his life, and a few toes and fin
ite rs frozen. Had there been a coast
•guard vessel anywhere within reach of
Alaska, (as there should be), Mr. Jo
! hansen would not have undergone
! the awful experience he went through
and the Viking would -probably have
;been saved.
George Alberts, one of the real old
I timers of Alaska, came in on the Starr
j from C’hignik, after mushing across
! the peninsula from Port Moller, where
he has a trading station and saltery.
He came to Alaska about 04 years ago.
H. W. Evans, one of Kanatak's lead
ing merchants, is in town on his way
to Anchorage, where he also has ex
tensive business interests.
C. C. Tousley, known as “Hurry-Up
Dick,” is in from Wide Bay, where he
| has been wintering his horses. Mr.
I Tousley is well known amongst Alas
kans and has been guide and packer
: for several geological survey parties
and oil mining experts. He predicts
a great future for the oil fields of the
! Alaska Peninsula.
Capt. Caravan from Unalaska is at
' the Hotel Sexton on his way to the
; States. Capt. Caravan for a long
i time was on the Bureau of Fisheries
boat the Eider, which is stationed at
Unalaska. Lately he has been in com
mand of a boat for the Aleutian Isl- j
and Live Stock Co. He knows the
coast from here to Attu island as very
; few skippers know it.
Paul Buckley, formerly oi unaiasicai
I where he was deputy marshal and a
trader for a number of years, is here I
' on his way to the States. He arrived
; on the Starr from Wide Bay where he j
has extensive oil interests, and will
probably bring1 up a party of investors
j some time in May or June, to look
; over the oil fields of the Kanatak and
! Wide Bay districts. If the Standard
Oil Company strikes oil where they
are now drilling, he predicts a great
influx of people into the oil fields and
says that Wide Bay will undoubtedly
be the {principal port of call, as it is
the best harbor anywhere along the
coast and the oil companies drilling in
the oil fields would choose that place
for their tankage farms, owing to
the fact that the pipe lines from the
wells could be constructed into Wide
Bay at a much less cost and maintain
ed more economically than at any oth
er place along the coast and oil tank
ers could be, loaded there any day in
the year without any chance of delay.
Mr. Buckley is interested with Jack
Lee, the original locator of the oil
fields. He has also taken an option
on six claims on the Oil Bay struc
ture, which is controlled by Mr. Vance
of Kodiak.
Officers on the Starr state that Jack
Lee is now at Wide Bay looking after
eleven head of horses belonging to
Mr. Lee, and his brother William, who
recently sold an interest in his hold
ings and is now on his way to Cali
fornia for a short vacation. Jack ex_
pects to take some “Dudes” into the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes this
summer and is going on a prospecting
trip to discover and locate some new
oil fields.
The Starr is responsible for the in
formation that the sheep wintered on
the south end of Unalaska island win
tered there in fine shape. The herds
belonging to Dr. Smith, comprising
1250 head, lost only nine sheep; while
the percentage of loss was larger by
the McIntosh outfit, owing to the fact
that the sheep were not properly herd
ed or cared for.
The Starr will sail west again some
time Sunday or Monday with a load
of gasoline, oil, and aviation ;parts.
for Chignik and other points.

Fred Schroeder, from Unalaska and
Attu island, is waiting in Seward for
the westward trip of the Starr. Mr.
Schroeder is the head of a company
which has the largest holding in the

in Seward, and Mrs. Paul Bevan of
Anchorage. Those present were Miss j
Sylvia Sexton. Mrs. W. E. Moultray, j
Mrs. C. C. I-Iinde and Mrs. George Col- {
