This is by far the handsomest and
best car so far brought to the town,
in fact it is out classed by no other
car on the market. 1t will travel
over bad roads where other cars
refuse to go and is the result of
years of experience in automobile
building by one of the best fact
tories in America. At the end of
a 30 minute lesson in driving, Mr..
Murphy took the wheel and made
a trip of several miles into the
country and back which illustrates
the ease with which the car is
managed.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrl1
Cure Is the only positive cure now

tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken intern

the disease, and giving the patient

lated car, Woodmen colors, the hand

the city. But on the running board
was an advertisement of Whitehead s.
The committee held that this was

mittee added IS to the prize Of $40
and gave $3.50 to each car to settle
the matter.

The Chitina leader., 1911-05-13

Sunday afternoons severe loss was sustained by the Katalla Company when the temporary crossing over the Copper River from Chitina was swept out by the ice. Work has been going on steadily for the past two weeks In reinforcing the trestle by the addition of five 60-foot spans, four of which were completed when the foe of ice took them out.
 For the past three days Superin- tendent P. J. O'Brien had been gag ing uneasily at huge ice jam about mile up the river, which was hour ly growing larger and drawing nearer the bridge. The jam had caught on bar, and when 1t did break on Sunday nothing could stay it's mad rush down stream. The current on this side of the river was we'll open and all the ice previously going down

the river, passed through the new spans without injury to the piers, showing that the judgment of the engineers was good had their been only the usual or ordinary breakup, but the large ice field came down with such force that it clogged the main channel, taking out all four of the newly constructed piers, and piled up with such force that it GOV cred the big bar between the two channels and piled up nearly as high as the trestle on the opposite side of the river.
 Those who witnessed the going out of the ice say it was a scene never to be forgotten. Old-timers here say a similar circumstance has never be- fore been recorded, the ice usually rotting and going down the river steadily with the current. in which

event the bridge would easily have stood the strain, for Superintendent O'Brien had builded fast and well, and it was the opinion of the engi- neers and all who saw the reinforce ment that the bridge would with stand an ordinary heavy ice foe.
 It is most unfortunate, coming at this time, as the Katalla Company has much work still to do at the front, and there are many necessary supplies which must go to the front at any cost. Work will begin inn mediately upon the driving of anoth- CT crossing, the material being ship ped from Cordova by Mondays train. Supt. O'Brien says it will take only three or four days to again put the trestle in shape as before, and the driving of piles will begin just as soon as the heavy run of ice has
