 ''The Alaska Daily Empire offers the opinion that the Alaska railroad bill referring to the bill reported out after long hearing before the committee territories will pass the coming regular session of congress- and that all Alaska will bloom thereafter
 'his is rosy view both to the event and its quences The bill approxmating it, should pass this coming regular session. and all real friends of Alaska hope that it will it does not pass will be because of lack of unity those who interested pretend to be inter- ested in reaching solution of the Alaska problem.
 Some opposition to the bill proposed has developed because proposes to embark the policy of public ownership and operation of railroad line This opposition is not strong enough be feared however and of itself would be the least of the obstacles be Some thing serious threatens the proposed measure.
 "A radical wing of professed friends of Alaska cannot find enough government ownership and operation the bill formulated after months of careful hearings sitting passage but which may the other hand imper which can be passed and which will afford relief
 "A united front and aggressive fight for the bill prepared with great and patience after weeks of hearings before regular and conscientious congressional committee will insure its passage against all opposition The friends of Alaska want unity in this fight and not division. The committee bill good It has the approval of all the people Alaska For these two real friend of the territory will get behind it.''

Baxter has is sued the necessary orders and the work will be performed at the com pany's dock this winter under the direction of Superintendent R. R. , Pierson during the period following the Hull in the Alaska trade, one vessel to be changed at time. As at present arranged the captain s stateroom and officers quarters are on the upper deck forward. Under the change contemplated, an entire new house will be erected on each vessel to include wheel house, cap tain's stateroom, chart room, quar- ters for the officers and pilots. The house will be erected above the pres arrangement on the steamship Northwestern. The quarters vacated by captain and officers will be trans formed into two-berth staterooms and in the case of the Mariposa two more staterooms will be added aft, which has already been done on the Alameda. The change will give commodious and retired quarters for the officers and in addition will pro- vide 10 additional rooms on the Mariposa and additional rooms on the Alameda.
 The addition of this house will add to the general appearance of the ships beside giving more room for passengers and better quarters for the officers. In the Mariposa the intermediate rooms on the saloon deck will be changed to first-class which will bring the first-clasS ac- commodations of that ship up to that of the Alameda. The entire work will be performed by the con- pany's own employees at the dock and will be completed in ample time to handle the expected heavy traffic to Alaska early next spring.

In grinding the valves in their seats
you have reduced slightly the clear

the valves will not close or seat prop

After valves are ground the tappet

be done when the motor is warm. The

The average compression is about

This new car is the nearest to the
foreign highly refined motor car that

Different throughout in design and
name from any form of product from

Jeffery car appears.
Abandoning its former policy of
single chassis model. the Jeffery com

although the new six is overshadowed
to some extent by the new four cylin-
der car. The four is the car which
viii form the chief item of produc-
tion. the six being merely an enlarge
ment of the former to provide for
those who wish Jeffery practice in a
six cylinder car

ahead of anything ever produced in
