Journalist Registers
Kick Lower River Trip,
Holy Cross-St. Michael
A. Bergdahl, Norwegian journalist,
who visited in Seward two months
ago while en route to the Nome dis
trict, passed thru town again the
first of the week on the Victoria. It
was the intention of Bergdahl to
board the steamer Maud at Nome for
Seattle, but due to unforeseen com
plication, this was not permitted.
The young newspaper man deplored
the mode of river traffic from Holy
Cross to St. Michael, stating the ac
commodations from this point down
stream, were very poor, and that
practically all of the pasasengers
were gassed from the engine’s ex
haust. No desirable accommodations
were available on the small craft, the
passengers being forced to sleep on
the floor.
The trip from Seward to Nenana
was interesting, he said, also the
river trip to Holy Cross. Upon ar
riving at Seattle, Mr. Bergdahl ex
pected to leave directly for Holly
wood, to remain over the winter, re
turning to Norway next spring.
Wife of Purser Back

Mrs. Roe Dykeman, wife of the
purser on the steamer Starr, will
return to Seward with her husband
on the vessel next month. Mrs.
Dykeman and daughter have been in
Seattle for a number of months. The
past month she has been attending
the University of Washington taking
a course in domestic science.

Unusual Amount of Rain
Falls During Past Month
Though measured in a primitive
manner, it has been ascertained lo
cally that during the last thirty days,
eighteen anc\ one-half inches of rain
have fallen. An empty barrel was
placed out in the wide open spaces
and a month later the contests were
measured with the above result. No
doubt another eighteen inches leaked
out or soaked into the barrel.

I clasped tiny hand in mine,
I clasped her beauteous form;
I vowed to shield her from the wild,
And from Seward’s cruel storm.
She set her beauleous eyes on me,
The tears did wildly flaw;
And with her little lips she said,
“For -—sake, lemme go!”
“I’m the cats!” said the mouse
when he saw he was cornered.
First bird soldier—What is an Am

“Why,” he curtly answered, “with

from your remark's, you were open

In the making and use of Calol Brand lu
bricating oils, chance and uncertainty are
eliminated. Years of experience with them
have established these oils in the confi
dence of industry and the marine trade.
That is why a majority of all the vessels
out of United States Pacific Coast ports,
both coastal and trans-Pacific, as well as
a large majority of the industrial plants,
—factories, canneries, mills, mines, hydro
electric plants, etc.,—in the Western
States, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands,
use Calol lubricating oils year-in and year
out. And this use has proved beyond
question their uniform reliability and
satisfying efficiency.
Calol lubricating oils are available throughout
Alaska. For information about those which will
best fill your needs, or for details about any
phase of our Alaska service, ask any of our repre
sentatives, or write to our office in the Alaska
Building, Seattle, Washington, or your nearest
Standard Oil Station in Alaska.
There is a Calol lubricating oil scientifically de
termined for every marine and industrial need.
