PAINT-PROTECTION against depreciation—
just as necessary and wise as insurance-protec
tion against fire!
And be certain that your paint protection is as re
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two-thirds the cost of a painting job is labor.
Her~e, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cost. It is cheapest in the end.
Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Pure Paint are
made of only pure linseed oil, pure white lead and v
pure pigments. ‘Cheaper” paints are made of cheap
er materials, hence the film they form doesn’t “hold
up”—it doesn't last and it doesn’t protect.
Ask any Fuller Dealer. Write for free book, “Your
Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors— '
suggests many color schemes. For all large jobs con*
suit a master painter.

ORDERS SLEDS
FROM BROSIUS
TEN BIG DOUBLE.ENDER SLEDS
BEING BUILT BY BROSIUS,
FOR ARCTIC EXPEDITION
LEAVE SEATTLE, JANUARY 16TH
Believed Gas Equipment Be Used
Replacing Horses On Snow
Trail North.
The roaring exhausts of numerous
tractors, attached to double-ender
sledges piled high with dismantled
airplanes and equipment, will profita
bly be resounding thruout the re
mote Interior regions within a few
weeks, for it is believed, in view of
the local order received yesterday
by Cal M. Brosius, lumber dealer and
manufacturer, that in .place of horses
being utilized in dragging the sledge
loads of supplies to Point Barrow,
gas locomotion equipment will be
used. The wire received yesterday
by Mr. Brosius was from the Detroit
Aviation Society, which is sponsor
in a North Pole exploration and was
the final message in connection with
ordering ten double-ender sledges.
The message, from A. Malcolm
Smith, well known oldtimer of the
North, was to the effect that he was
leaving Seattle for Seward January
16 and that the sledges, 58 inches
wide from center to center, and the
usual length, must be completed by
the time of his arrival in Seward.
This can be accomplished on time,
Mr. Brosius stated yesterday owing
to the large and varied stock of ma
terial always carried on hand and
of which it has been said is ,the big
gest general stock of building mate
rial in the Territory.
As might be noticed the width of
the double-enders are of unusual size
and the fact no horse shafts were
ordered leads one to believe that gas
equipment, probably Fordson trac
tors, will be used. However, details
as to particulars are not available
and it may be jusslt possible that
the matter of horse shafts may have
been overlooked in the general rush
of planning for the Arctic explora
tion party and -in the ordering of
supplies. To avoid any possible de
lay, Mr. Brosium forwarded another
wire to Seattle last night as a last
precaution, in which the matter of |
shafts will be brought to Mr. Smith’s j
attention upon his arrival next week.
As was announced in the Gate
way last week, accompanying Mr.
Smith will be Earl Rossman, pho
tographer, wrho also has sipent con
siderable time in the Territory,
which included one winter in the;
Arctic. Mr. Smith and Mr. Rossman, j
as far as can be learned at this ear-1
ly date, will be the first of the par
ty to come North. Captain George
Wilkins, who accompanied Stafans
§en on one of his Arctic explorations
and ieut. Scott, noted English South
Pole explorer, will navigate one of
the planes. In charge of the sec
ond plane will be Ben Eileson, ac
cording to an Associated Press dis
patch published by the Gateway on
Monday. Pilot Eileson is tihe pioneer
aviator of Interior Alaska, having
preceded Noel Wien, who recently
passed thru Seward en route to the
East. Mr. Eileson flew the first com
mercial plane in the Interior and
also held a contract for delivering
mail, via the air. He was inside for
two seasons, leaving two years ago
for the East where he re-entered the
aviation branch of th U. S. Army. He
was principal of the Fairbanks Pub
lic school from which position he
started flying.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
flying game in all of its phases, and
especially understands Alaskan and
Arctic conditions. 'In this respect
he should prove an invaluable asset
to the North Pole expedition. Eileson
has a host of friends who will be
delighted to welcome him back to
Alaska, if only for a short period.
The upshot of the latest prohibi
tion drive will be in liquor prices.—
