SEWARD VISITOR NOT
USED TO EARTHQUAKES
Lieut. Clayton Bissell, of the Army
Air Service, who is a visitor in Sew
ard, evidently is not used to the slight
tremors whim visit Alaska, especial
ly the Seward district, several times
a 'month, lie also sees publicity in
our snowslides, several thousand feet
of which occur each winter.
Visiting the Gateway this morning
lie secured several copies of yester
day’s paper containing a slight men
tion of those lrequent visitors, and
remarked that lie thought it queer
they were not given front page posi»
tions, head of the column.
Before Katmai blew her head nfr
Valdez had over 100 well defined
shocks in one day, a great number of
which were much sharper than those
Tuesday night. And to record all the
snowslides occurring in this vicinity
would take a larger paper than the
Gateway. Which goes to show that
one can become used to anything.
Simpson’s, a prominent clothing;
and furnishings store of Anchorage is
closing out business, and will remove
to Reno, New, in the near future.
The Buick Clutch is
Smooth and Posi tive
A slight pressure of the
finger releases the Buick
clutch, so positive and in
stant is its action. With
this ease and sureness of
operation, the Buick
multiple disc dry plate
clutch combines a
smoothness in power
transmission and a long
wear that are possible only
with this advanced type
of clutch construction.
