Pointers for the Motorist,


 OF all questions relative to the preser- vation of pneumatic tires that of imitation is the most important.
 Of the tires tested by the Michelin Tire Company on cars which stop at its factory full 50 per cent. are found to be under-inflated, while of the tires sent in for repairs nearly 50 per cent. have suffered from this cause.
 There are many ways aside from punctures and blow-outs in which the air pressure in a tire can sink below normal. The valve may not be air tight, of if the tire is new it may expand slightly when first used, with a conse- quent reduction in pressure.
 Moreover, rubber while practically air tight is not entirely so and the air win gradually filter through into the atmos- phere. Air is composed chiefly of oxy- gen and nitrogen. The coefficient of diffusion of oxygen through rubber is higher than that of nitrogen, and in con- sequence the pressure in a recently in Hated tire decreases in proportion to the diffusion of the oxygen. When the tire is rein1ated the proportion of nitrogen within the tire of course becomes larger. So long as the original air remains in the tire this proportion continues to increase with every imitation and thus the loss by diffusion becomes gradually smaller.
 The temperature of the outer air is responsible only for the very slightest changes in the interior air pressure of a tire. These changes are so slight as to be negligible.
 Over-inf1ation likewise is injurious not to the tire so much as to the car. An over-lnfated tire has little or no re- silienoy and thus transmits shocks to the chassis, which under incessant jarring is bound to suffer.
 It is obviously necessary therefore to keep the tires pumped up to just the right pressure. The only way to ac- oomphsh this is frequently to use pres sure tester.

MANY
INTERIOR
CASES

Thre are large number of cases
to be tried at Fairbanks, or else
where, in connection with the recent
bank troubles in the interior town.
AS result many people will come
from the outside and will necessari-
ly be in Cordova more or less. There
are both criminal and civil cases to
be tried. One of the latter is against
a Seattle bank. Recently F. G. Moves,
as receiver of the Washington-Alas-
ka Bank, of Fairbanks, commenced
suit, on the order Of the federal court
of Alaska, against the Scandinavian
American Bank, of Seattle, for $751;
1880, alleged to be due the Alaska
concern as balance between the two
correspondent banks. The balance
is stated to have existed since June,
1909. The complaint states that the
Fairbanks Banking Company origi-
nally had the charge on its books and
that the Washington-Alaska bank
succeeded to the Fairbanks concern
in July, 1910.

B. B. Tibbs and AL Brimmer went

short distance above the old ford at

it practicable location for a ferry.
1t is on the direct route from McCar-
thy to Dan, Young and Chititu
Creeks, and the upper Nizina coun-
try. The many people who have oc-
casion to cross the Nizina during
the summer will be glad to know
that it will be relieved of some of the
discomfort and danger. If a bridge
is possible at his point, which is on
a direct route to the creeks, it would
be a much preferable location to the
one several miles down, to which a
trail was cut last fall in the hope
that the Alaska Road Commission
would put bridge in there this sum-
mer.

FUNERAL OF ]. T REED
At LIVINGSTONE, mont.

In the issue of the Livingstone

funeral of our late townsman, John
E. Reed, as we'll as an earnest trib-

"John Earl Reed was born at Dun

his death in railroad accident on
the Copper River & Northwestern
Railroad near Cordova, Alaska, jan
uary 1, 1912. He received his educa-

Mimi, and came to Montana in 1889,
where he was in the employ of the
Northern Pacific railroad at different
point on the Montana division for
eight years.

Apropos of the announcement that

Apropos of the announcement that
James Galen, the veteran Alaskan, is
to construct a large tourist motel
here at Mccarthy this season the
people on the frontier are simply de-
lighted.
Nowhere along the line of this
great scenic railway (the Copper
River & Northwestern will the tour
list be more impressed than here near
the terminal. The Kennecott gla-
cier rises mile after mile to the
foothills of Mt. Blackburn, when is
surrounded by the minor peaks and
stands out like mignLy sentinel
bidding defiance to even the impet-
uous mountain climbers greatest eff
forts. This bit of scenery alone is
worth visit to this meek of the
woods" while those interested in
mining will gaze with admiration on
perhaps the greatest copper mine in
the world, with it's ever busy tram
way dropping as it would seem from
the very clouds.
Turning from this regal scene and
gazing across the beautiful timbered
valley of the Chitina, dotted with in
Vulnerable lakes and streams, one
beholds the precipitous mountains
beyond the Chitina, many of which
are enshrouded with blankets of per-
petual ice and snow.
Leaving the railway with it's en-
ergy and civil ing influences, the
tourist or miner sets his face toward
Sourdough Mountain and the swift
flowing Nizina. He is lien skirting
a marvellous game country, bear,
mountain sheep, moose, birds, lynx
and all the common fur bearing ami
mails becoming plentiful. AS you
pass up the Chettystone Zone of the
largest tributaries of the Nizina !, the
game becomes more abundant and
once over Scolai Pass to the White
River with it's pleasant valleys, roll
ing hills and steep mountains, he
finds himself in the heart of what is
known to be veritable hunters
paradise.

KIND
WORDS
HELP

1t is very gratifying to the editor
of the Daily Alaskan and the Chitina
Leader to know that his efforts to
bring about a cleaner and more sat-
isfactory administration of justice
upon the part of United States Off
GERS at Cnitina are appreciated by
the reputable element residing in the
Copper river country. From num-
Der of letters received March first we
take the following excerpts:

at the place.
GA number of the fellows and my
self feel very much pleased to see
the stand the Daily Alaskan and the
Chitina Leader are taking in regard
to M. R. Healy, and hope you will
keep the fight up"
81 cannot speak too warmly in
praise of the stand the Alaskan has
taken. 1t has taken up a good fight
that has made it a greatly increased
number of sincere friends from one
end of the line to the other. The Salt
Lake Tribune makes a proud boast
that it stands for Americans In a
much larger, truer, better sense, the
Cordova Daily Alaskan could make
that it's motto"
81 having been resident of Cniti-
ma for the past year, and having es-
pecially noticed certain copies of
your paper, the Alaskan, relating to
the misrule of the U. S. commission
er and deputy marshal of this dis
trict, l wish to express my apprecia-
ton of the stand you have taken in
this matter. Hoping you will keep
the good work up until the proper
results are attained, I am, yours
truly"
Your articles in the Alaskan con-
corning Healy are great in showing
this man in his true color. You are
doing the public genuine service.
The fellows in Kennecott warmly ap-
preciate the Alaskans siding with us
in our fight. Keep it up, old man.
Send me to Mccarthy Creek two
or three of each issue of the Chitina

Ed Rodee and James Brennan
were passengers on yesterdays train.
They have taken a contract for an
other fifty feet of tunnel on the
property of the North Star Mining
Company at Mile SO. They are fol-
lowing a vein which measured SIX
feet at the surface, and are driving
to strike under an outcropping that
is eighteen feet on the surface. The
tunnel is now in 100 feet.
Assays ON their ore runs 62 cents
in gold and $46.50 in copper.
If they succeed in showing up the
body of ore they expect this will be
an excellent proposition. The mouth
of the tunnel is about 800 feet from
the main line of the railroad, and is
at an elevation of $50 feet above the
snow shed, which protects the track
from snowslides.
1t is proposed later on to open up
a working tunnel level with tho
snowshed so that mine cars could
dump their loads directly into the
railroad cars. 1t is hard to find a
proposition where a mine could be
worked more economically than this
one. 1t is being developed entirely
by local men and money.

next month and are sure to direct a
great deal of attention to that Sec

At the present time the upper end
of the Bremner and all its branches
are free from ice and in good many
places the frost is already out of the
ground. Dahl says some places have
been free of frost since January 10,

All of the territory described
above is good for hydraulic opera
ton from six to eight months every
year.
The VAIN Brothers and Louis
Dahl started for the Bremner yester-

dog team from Bremner station to
open water on Bremner River, and
from there will line a boat to with
