ILL-HEALTH IS
j GIVENASCAUSE
OF RESIGNATION
ANCHORAGE. (By Malik—Andrew
; Christenson has resigned as manager
! of the land and industrial depart
ment of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission. His resignation, which was
-v'msi.'.ned by ill-health, was given to
William C Edes at Washington City,
where Mr. Christensen in the past win
ter assisted Mr. Edes in preparing data
and reports regarding the commis
sion’s activities for presentation to
congressional committees atid heads
; of government departments.
The laud and industrial department
.’-as supervision of the sale of lots in
•owns along the government railroad.
'Zeroises a directory control over
!!hcmestead applications within the
' tone of the railroad's right-of-way, rep
resents the secretary of the interior in
the matter of coal land leases in Al
aska and promotes in every way pos
sible the interest of the railroad in par
fticular and the development and set
tlement of the country in general.
No successor lias yet been appointed
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Mr. Christensen.
Mr. Christe sen came to the Alaskan
En-cne s: Commission from the
class.i u service ->* t’ e s-: •• ral land
office- He firs: er.'.rd govern
- - - in service June 30. 190S when he
gave uo the practice of law at Wash
ington City to accept the position f
special agent of the general land of
fice. He was sent to San Francisco.
Calif., where he investigated and as
sisted in the prosecution of what are
known as the "HyJ—B< esou cases."
tfter having been stationed at San
Francisco for six months, he was pro
moted to chief of field division of the
general land office, with headouarters
t- Portland. Or where he had charge
of the investigation of the land fraud
cases in that state, and at that time
he directed the work of from twenty
• o thirty-five special a gents.
In September. 1909, when Louis R.
ft’a vis was removed as chief of field
division at Seattle. Wash., in charge
of the investigation of public land mat
tors in Washington and Alaska. Mr.
f’hrisiersen took over that division. In
Julv. 1910. at the personal reouest of
then Secretary of the Interior Rich
ard. Ballimvr. Mr- Chigtensen waa
placed in charge of the investigation
of all the Alaska coai cases, which
then were attracting nation-wide at
tention He investigated and prose
cuted the fraud- in eonnection with
these coal cases and was engaged in
that work until all of it was disposed
of On March 24. 1916. he was ap
• ehited manager of the land and Indus
trial d-oarfcment of 'he Alaskan Engi
neering Commission and under him the
srt-n- : was organized.
Mr. Christensen’s health first mani
fested sign- of impairment about a
i v< ir and a half ago. but he continued
with the duties cf his office until last
Apri!. Then on the advice of Anchor
age doctors, who diagnosed his ail
ment as stomach trouble, he went to
rh.. Stat -- for treatment. He recover
'd his healPh sufficiently to warrant
him to believe he could resume his
work, and last summer he returned to
Anchoage. Bat after having devoted
•n!y ten day*to the tasks of bis office
i..- health again gave way and early
in August he w'eut back to the States
o command the attention of special
ists He improved under medical care
and a strict diet, and last winter he
va- asked :o go t.. Washington City to
help in the work performed in the in
r-r -• of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission Finally, however, he wag ad
vised by physicians that his recovery
was dependent on the Cessation of bus
iness activities and he determined to
quit his official position. He has as
sociated himself with the Finance and
Trading Corporation. 43 Exchange
Place, New York City. His work with
it is aot of such an active character as
to endanger his recovery to health.
Mr Christensen , aside from his posi
tion with the Alaska Engineering Com
mission, was prominent in the affairs
of Anchorage. He was president of the
Ala-ka Fair Association, federal food
administrator for the Anchorage dia
tict, member of the eyecutive com
mittee of Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce and master of the Anchorage
Masonic lodge.
Don’t forget. Liberty Bonds are go
ing above par. That is why brokers
are advertising for them. Brokers
know. Be "wise. Hang onto your bonds.
TELL IT TO THE
MARINES IF YOU
WANT TO DIE
It isn't nice to swear in type. Notch
er is war nice. _ This is a war story.
It was told by Rrlgadlor General Cat
lln in bis book, "With the Help of
God and a Few Marines."' BelteHu
Wood is the setting.
The General had given his troops
the order to advance. His last words
as they started across the wheat
! fields under a withering fire, "Give
* 'em hell, boys."
“Some one has reported,” tile Gen
■ era! continues, "that they advanced iu
! those woods crying, 'Remember the
Lusitania.' If they did 1 failed to
■ hear it
"Somehow that doesn't sound like
j the sort of things the Marines say un
! der the conditions."
Then General Catlin tells what they
; did say. When the lines were waver
; ing under the terrific German fire, a
j sergeant cried out:
[ "Come on you-. do you
' want to live forever?”
Tell the Marines that you are not
‘ -roing to take your share of the com
‘ tug Victory Liberty Loan.
Colleges To Teach Safety
Official of the Working Conditions
Service, Department of Labor, and
members of the National Safety Conn
: oil are working out an educational pro
cram designed to bring safety instruc
tion into engineering courses in col
leges.
It is the belief of safety experts
that by bringing safety methods to the
attention of men who will later occupy
executive or technical positions in
mining and engineering enterprises, a
. considerable reduction in industrial
accidents will bo made possible. Be
cause engineeing courses are already
so well filled it will be the practice to
i introduce safety work in subjects al
ready being taught rather than to
establish special courses in safety en
gineering.
CAUSE OF LOW
EFFICIENCY
Fact ry employee-- are at fault only
'o a small degree in keeping plant effi
iency at a low point, according to offi
ciptg 0{ -],0 United States Training
Service
Onlv 10 per cent o' the dismissals
! employees in one large plant, nc
'ording to an inquiry conducted by
’Ms service, a new organization in the
Department of Labor, were due to
willful slacking on the part of tha
men. In flie case of other dismissals.
° number f causes beyond the work
man's control were given. These in
. c’uded failure of power or equipment.
• necessity for plant r-^.airs; lack
■ material; lack of instructions for
workmen: and lack of training on
heir part. In ether words, personal
-'acking in factories appears to be an
•mc.-t inconsiderable item.
An investigation of the output of
-■‘3 'it a in i.ne factory recently showed
‘ha* the average of the group in two
weeks was less than 35 per cent of,
what it might have been for the same
Period. Training of the workmen, the
officials of the service maintain,
would promote greater production and
make possible the payment of better
wages 3nd the earning of greater pro
fits.
USE FOR SEAWEED NOVEL
LONDON,—A novel use has been
found here for seaweed Combined
with crushed slag and other beret
fore neglected waste mineral products,
It is used to make a kind of concrete,
out of which are being fashioned
building bricks and blocks. The sea
weed acts as a binding and strength
ening element.
Arrangements are being made to put
up a large number of houses com-.
nosed entirely of these blocks and it is
predicted that the material, owing to
its cheapness, will aid in solving the
housing problem.
Not only the foundations and walls,
but the doors, window frames and
mautlepieces are to be constructed of
the new concrete. The houses are to
be made in sections and bolted togeth- j
er. The window-fram is a new idea'
in itself. The glass, in one large pane,
slips into a slot and the edges of mold
ing are then turned over so as to
grip it- To mend a broken window
will be a simple matter and will not
