cARRNG1ToN JEwELER INVENT
ED STEAM WHEEL

L. X. Sivertson, a jeweler of Car
rington, has made arrangements
with Minneapolis parties to manu-
facture the "Sivertson Steam Wheel
on which he received patents some
time ago.
The engine will be built with a
36-inch cylinder and the engin-
eer's figures give the engine an esti-
mated horse power of 1917. The
drawings we're carefully gone over by
different experts and all pronounced
the engine correct in principle. and
different than any so-called rotary
engine that has yet been built, and
the difficulties that have heretofore
confronted the maker Of rotary en-
gine were all overcome in the Sivert-
son steam wheel. It is thought that
the actual work of putting the engine
together will commence about April

WEATHER MANS OBSERVATION

Director Roberts of the Bismarck
Weather Bureau, says that the 1S
days from Dec. 26th, 1911, to jan
uary 12, 1912 inclusive, were, with
one exception, (January End to 18th,
1879 the coldest of record in the
chronological history of the state
since the weather bureau was es-
tablished in 1874. During the a.
bove time the temperature was at no
time above zero, and at night the
highest temperature recorded was six
degrees below zero on the 9Th of
January. The highest temperature
recorded on the 18th of January,
was "a degrees below zero, while
the lowest temperature on that date
was 81 degrees below zero, making
an average temperature for the day
of thirty degrees below zero. This
is the lowest average daily tempera-
ture ever recorded at Bismarck sta
tion during January, and but one
record Of lower average temper
ature for any month is to be found,
that of February list, 1898, when
the average was 80 degrees below
zero.
January 18th was the anniversary
of what is called by the old timers
the "Big Blizzard" which occurred
"a years ago, when the maximum
temperature was SO degrees below
zero accompanied by ifty-four mile
per hour wind from the northwest.

ANEEDED IMPROVEMENT
New Sewer System in Eastern Part
of City

Many residents of the LIST ward
east of Second avenue, who have long
been without sewer privileges are
anxious to have the work of laying
a trunk line sewer thru the ward to
the James river commence as early
as possible, il the same is to be done
at all this year. Contracts let for
the work in February or March u.s.
ually are secured at much better
figures from contractors than later
when they have taken on all the work
they can easily handle.
No more necessary Improvement
for the city exists than additional
sewerage facilities for modern house
builders. If Jamestown is to grow
as city, and invite good class of
outside people to reside here, there
must be more modern houses avail
able. A trunk line sewer in the
southeastern part of the city will
fill this bill for many years to come
and can be built with reasonable ex-
penditure of money and paid for in
small installments in 20 years. 1t
terals can be run into such sewer
from both east and west and these
laterals will supply all the streets
with convenient sewer facilities ac-
cessible to a large district, where
now none exists at all. In addition
to this advantage sewer system es-
tablished in that part of the city
will encourage the building of mod
ern houses, the sale of city property
at advanced prices, and will furnish
work and employment for carpen-
ters, masons and mechanics Of all
kinds.
II any one desires to know the
scarcity of residence lots, that can be
had in the sewer districts of the city,
an inquiry will soon show that very
few moderate priced lots can be had
at present, with sewer and water IA
cilities. The prices asked are beyond
reason for the size of the city and
pressst building houses. instead of
encouraging that enterprise.

WANTED COL. FUTILE
TO Become Candidate For President
Of Chicago Board of Trade

One of the old time members of the
Chicago board of trade and now q
resident of North Dakota, Col. W. p.
Tuttle of Dawson. was recently hon
ored, while temporarily in Chicago
by the signing of petition, secur-
ing a large number of signatures of
members asking him to become q
candidate for president of the board
of trade of that city. The petition
was headed in the following unusual
language:
"An honest Man is the Noblest
work of God-W. P. Tuttle for Presi-
dent-on a platform of Justice-A
Square Deal for all, No Exceptions"
Col. Tuttle, while appreciating the
high honor conferred upon him, felt
constrained to declined the request
which he did in the following letter:
"Mr. j. S. Templeton. Dear Sir:
Il am truly cognizant that yourself
and the signers of the petition that
you presented me with yesterday ask
ing me to become a candidate for
the presidency of the Chicago Board
of Trade on platform meeting my
fullest approval, have paid me one of
the greatest compliments of my life.
It was so much of compliment
that I halted from my first abrupt
refusal to study if could consis-
tently conform my time and plans to
agree with your request; feeling that
such spontaneous expression should
not be refused if it were practical
to grant it coupled with a general
life's desire on my part to do those
things my friends desire me to do.
However, on deliberate study, my
judgment shows me no feasible way,
identified as am with the citizens Of
North Dakota both in business and
political way, of giving the Office of
president of your board the time and
attention necessary to fill the Office
in a perfunctionary routine way
much less the time necessary to full
fill the greater desire should have
to make my. administration, If elect
ed, satisfactory success both from
your view point and my own.
consequently, reluctantly, I have
to decline with many thanks for the
honor that you have sought to con-
fer upon me. Yours very truly,
w. p. Tuttle." !"

JERUSALEM OF TODAY
Interesting and Instructive Lecture
Given at the Presbyterian
Church
Church

Before a large and appreciative
audience, Rev. Simon delivered
lecture on Jerusalem AS 1t Is To-
day" during the lecture illustrated
views being thrown upon screen,
as were also the hymns and respon-
sive readings.
After the songs were sung and
the scripture lesson was read from
the curtain, the splendid series of
pictures began with scene of a
landing at Joppa. There are no land
ing pier here but the visitors are o.
.bliged to land in small boats and
rowed through surf the same way
the Crusaders landed nearly one
thousand years ago. Joppa afforded
much interest by the pictures reveal
ing the traditional house of "Simon
the Tanner" where Peter was a
guest when he received the vision
that the gospel was for all people.
Here too, was the home of Dorcas,
the good neighbor, who is the mother
of Sewing and Aid Societies." 1t
too, was from this place that Richard
the Lion Hearted, and many other
gallant Knights of the Crusaders,
started on their way to Jerusalem.
A picture of youth blowing in the
Valley of Ajalon with their crude
plows, gave point to the words of
Christ, "No man having put his hand
to the plow and looking back is fit
for the kingdom of Heaven" There
was shown the remains of mediae-
val Christian church where the
French, German and English Crusa-
ders, fresh from the bloody battle
fields worshipped. We were able to
look down the Bethlehem road as
it left the Joppa gate to the place
where the Christ was born.
Exceedingly interesting was the
picture of the site of the old Hebrew
Temple, where Christ at one time
listened to the wise men of His day,
and where He was want to go and
teach the people. A beautiful pro-
duction of Muncakzy's "Christ Be-
fore PLATE" was among those shown.
Impressive was the picture which
showed the slope of Calvary up, which
it is believed Christ trudged, bear
ing His heavy cross. One of the
locations Of which there is no doubt
as to the exact identity, is the walled
garden of Gethsemane and leading
around it tHthe road to Betheny. With
in those walls the "Kiss of Betrayal"
was given. After a weary days
work the Master was want to travel
the road leading to the home in Beth
eny, where He was always welcome.
Mary Martha and Lazarus made
their home His home and He abode
with them. One of the impressive
part of the service was the singing of
the Holy City by c. s. Buck.
The second lecture will be given
next Sunday evening in the church
atS6:3O on "Patriarchal Life in the
Gordan Valley" which is COM
panion lecture to the one given last
night.

Valdez daily prospector., 1912-07-06

The announcement that the Hospital of the Good Samaritan Is to be closed unless some help is extended to that institution comes as a blow to those who have not only the good of the community at heart, but to those as we'll who realize the necessity or such an institution in a com
 munlty situated as Valdez is. The present poor financial condition of the hospital is due to the lack of pay patients on the one hand and the exceptionally large num- Der of indigcnt sick who have
 been cared for by that instilu- iI0n. During that period. four or more lives have been saved where death was inevitable were il not for the sanitary conditions surrounding the patients as we'll
 as the professional nursing they received.
 The lives nf a number of others w - V 'i''i'i Iibf'IlS'ils pI dI lb6Sl ilrir last days were made con,-
 Portable by reason of the exist
 Hnrc of this institution. Valdez cannot afford tO see the doors of
 ihe Hospital of the Good Samar-
 itan closed, neither will the char
 Iiably inclined rest in the thought that this community will have no way of caring for those suffer- ing and without means to help themselves.
 The conditions existing in Alaska. as we all well know, are peculiar in that We have no gov ernmrnL support in thr way of caring for the indigcnf. This burden has always fallen upon 'he individuals of our cOmmuni- lies. and in our own particular settlement this load has been largely borne by the hospital. We are facing crisis in our history, what shall We do about il? We feel safe in saying for the people of Valdez that the Good Samari- tan Hospital shall mol br permit ted to die.
