Tony at Seward

A recent issue of the Seward Gate way says:
 Tony A. Tubbs has taken over the we'll known McNeilly hotel of Seward, has changed the name of that popular hostelry to "The Overland" and en- tered actively into business in this town. MT. Tubbs reached Seward on the steamer Portland, sized up the sit nation, and quickly decided that this town would be his future abode. He is progressive, enterprising citizen, and will prove distinct acquisition to the town. MT. Tubbs is no stranger to Alaska, neither is he lacking in knowl- edge concerning the resources adjacent to Seward. He has been keeping a weather eye on this town for several years past, and comes at the opportune time to participate in it's prosperity.
 Tony Tubbs, as he is more familiarly known, joined the rush to Nome in the spring of 1900, taking with him one of the largest hotel outfits ever brought to Alaska. He immediately engaged in the restaurant and bakery business on River street there, and as an indication. of the business he did, be employed at one time thirty five persons. In the memorable tidal wave in the fall of 1900, which swept River street, Tony's business house went out with the tide. Since that time he has been engaged in paying ''dead horses" as result.
 Departing from Nome, he was asked by the Treadwell Company to take charge of it's large boarding house on Treadwell island, which position he held down for eight consecutive years. When he resigned, the men of Tread we'll presented him with beautiful gold watch and chain as a testimonial of their appreciation of his service.
 Before coming to Alaska MT. Tub5s was for seven years in charge of the Sullivan Bunker Hill Mining company's boarding house in Occur d'Alene, Idaho. Tony's wide acquaintance and personal popularity insure his success in any undertaking he may enter. He contemplates extensive Improvements jn sHThe Overland.

The SCORPIONS Wonderful Ear.


have studied the habits of the
scorpion for many years and have
often noticed how very sensitive Scor
pions are to the most delicate sound
musical or otherwise. Under the tho
rax the scorpion has two comblike
appendages. which are the antenune
pectinatae,. 1t is pretty well settled
by Psychologists and entomoIogiSts
that in insects the antennae represent
the organs Of bearing These delicate
structures are easily affected by the
vibrations of sound. and there can be
no doubt whatever that they are also
affected by sounds quite inaudibe to
the human ear The slightest vihrn
ton of the atmosphere from any cause
whatever at once puts in motion the
delicate structures which compose the
antennae. to which organs insects owe
the power OF protecting themselves
against danger as well rs the means
Of recognizing the approach of one

SANTA FE EXTENDS ITS
TELEPHONE DlSPATCHING.
installations Now Cover Almost Two
Thousand MiIes-Forty Stations
Between Pueblo and Denver.

The Santa Fe system has extended
the use of the telephone for train dis
patching over it's road from Denver
to Pueblo, Colorado. The officials of
this road were among the first to rec
ognize the advantages of the telephone
for dispatching. Telephones have
been installed over approximately
1850 miles of the Santa Fe lines, and
it is planned to extend the equipment
on other sections of the road as soon
as possible.
There are about forty telephone
stations on the 120-mile stretch be-
tween Denver and Pueblo, and here
telephone equipment and Gill select
ors supplied by the Western Electric
Company have lately been installed.
Heavy traffic is carried on over this
single track division. There are in
the neighborhood of Is to 80 trains a
day, and in the handling of these
trains there are approximately Is
Irregular meeting points. This section
lof the track is used jointly by the
Santa Fe and the Colorado and, South
ern railways. The dispatching. how.
ever, is all done from Pueblo by the
Santa Fe.
1t is estimated that the installation
of telephones on this division will en-
able the dispatchers to handle the
same amount of work as previously
in about sixty per cent Of the time
