The Ketchikan miner., 1908-04-04


 bunkers are independent of the oil tanks and can be used for storing freight when not in use for fuel. She is splendidly adapted for ore carriyng, as any portion of the hold can be reached without necessitating trim ming of the cargo. The vessel has not as yet been accepted by the company. MT. Strong will leave, either on the Seattle or the Dolphin, for Seattle, to make complete inspection of her, and if she comes up to all the require ments of the contract, she will be ac- cepted and placed into comm ssion at once
 The writer of this is a very humble person and somewhat dull, but he likes to read The Miner and know what is going on. This Simple Simon read in the paper last night that some- thing had happened up at the power house on the previous night. We'll now he was dead sure that something had happened for he had nearly brok- en his neck prowlng about the house by the aid of candles but he wanted to know exac ly what had happened. So Simple sat down to read. He learned that the second phase got out of whack Sunday and so they drove the first phase single. That was very easy. Then the paper said that they would unwind the second phase and while they were unwinding the sec ond phase, they would rewind the | first phase with parts of the second pnase, meanwhile carrying the load on the second phase, and then the frs phase would not be the irst phase but the second phase, and neither would the first phase be the second phase. for don't you see, that the second phase was wound on top of the first phase and so they were acting togeth- CT as a sort of first-second phase, merely third phase. After readil 2 the above for seven hours with the paper upside down, inside out, the first phase of the paper where the sec ond phase ought to be and the second phase where the first phase ought to he, he finally got it straight. Then Simple read further something about the first phase and the second phase being on the way from Seattle (at least that is how he read u) and that phased him entirely |; A. went straight up in the air if 1T thought they were windin It phase on the second phase, olS
 m, !" Just as he was getting northern end of town assured Simple that he would s'punch the phase of the fellow that wrote that article. '
