THE REASON WHY
A G PLUGS ARE
BEST EQUIPMENT

Up to a few years ago the auto
mobile manufacturers in selecting the
spark plugs with which to equip their
cars were considering two points, as
far as the performance of the plugs
are concerned, that the insulator
would not crack too easily and that
the plugs would not SCOT too quickly.
At that time motors had lower COM
preston and were run at lower speed
. and the automobile buyer did not
expect the performance out of the
motor that he is expecting today. Lat
Or high speed motors were brought
put and experience showed the manu-
fRcturers that laboratoryAnd dyna-
mometer tests were not sufficient
that these tests were all light as q

KENNEBEC AND OTHER POEMS
BY Louise Helen C0burn

OF this book the publishers write:
Rhythm is the framework of these
verses; it is apparent in the harmony
that results, but is not an end in it
self The verses are particularly
conscious. perhaps, of emotions and
of beauty, for the author perceiyes
beauty as an artist as well as poet.
There are many fine lines. full Of
pictures, Of color. vivid figures Of
speech and contrasts.
Poet, philosopher, and artist in
one, the poets heart sounds the
heights and depths of emotion the
ecstasy of motherhood, the loyalty of
friendship. the need and comfort of
God The philosopher seeks and
finds the Power behind life. and
much for reflection in the manifesto
tons of His presence. The artists
eye discovers the lights and shadows
Of the world-blaek night and GRIM
son dawn. The word pictures are
more than rush of glowing words;

E4NLLNO yin !
One of the final rounds of the bat
tie between big biz and the people in
the matter of tenders for motor
trucks tbs scheduled for today. State

assn and the owners Of auto trucks
will spend about $500 worth of law
yers' gas before the judiciary COM

Mrs. Edward LOewenthal and Miss
Margaret Dobyne will lead a COM
mittee of women members of the
Chicago Political Equality league in
a silent appeal to the aldermen to
give the women of Chicago cOnsid-

bile business will appear to tell why
the fender is practical as a lifesaver
A list of those killed by fenderless
auto trucks since the introduction of
this latest fender law in April will be

Has Strange
 Experience
 In Wilderness

Dawson News: The story of mys- terious shaking of cabins and strange sounds like those of some great explo- sion is brought from the wilderness by Bob Henderson, the first man who found gold in the Klondyke watershed. Bob has just returned from point in the Pelly river basin, where he has been prospecting.
 "It was the morning of December the fourth" says Hennerson, "when the strange occurrence took place. I was asleep in my cabin on Cassie creek, tributary of the McMillan, which in turn flows into the the Pelly. My place was about eighty miles from Selkirk. was awakened between 3 aud 4 o'clock by peculiar rocking or shaking sensation. 1 immediately sat up and took notice. All was dark, but listened for moment. I heard a loud explosion like the sound of a heavy blast. I leaped from bed, not frightened. but much interested, and lit the lamp. The shaking of the cabin continued and heard three more re. ports, each growing fainter. The dishes and everything in the cabin were rocked and shaken violently, and even the walls were much a-trem ble. "

GIVES MORE POWERS TO
 ALASKA LEGISLATURE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. - James Wickersham, delegate from Alaska has introduced in Congress bill pro, viding For "full territorial" form of government for Alaska.
 The bill asks flor ienlarged powers for the legislature of Alaska, the ap. propriation of $2OO.0OO for completing the road from Ruby to Long creek in the Ruby placer mining district of the interior, the reservation of the Alaska fisheries and giving additional power to the Alaska legislature to control the fisheries of Alaska.
 It is known that the fisheries bureau under the department of commerce on. poses the last measure, desiring tC maintain control of the Alaska fishing interests.
 In fact. it is contended that several prominent Democrats will fight the bill to give enlarged powers to the Alas ka legislature, believing that !condi tionS can best be controlled through the different federal bureaus.

The government dock, recently pur- chased with the Alaska Northern rail- road, was destroyed last night by fire which broke out between ten and eleven o'clock in the building on the west end of the dock in which the office was situated The flames ragged in spite of the splendid exerttons of the fire boys until 1t destroyed that building and reached the building to the eastward of the approach, which 1t also destroyed. In addition to the loss of the dock the freight and sup plies for the steamer Dora, belonging to the Alaska Steamship company, were also destroyed. These supplies announced to about seventy-hve tons and were valued at about ten thousand dollars. The Engineering commission officials estimate the total loss at be- tween thirty and forty thousand dol lars but they are unable, like everyone else, to assign any cause for the blaze. It is assumed that, owing to the high wind prevailing, the stove In the or flee might have become overloaded or might have sent out sparks. The lire department had just been called out for another purpose when the flames were seen issuing from the dock building and they immediately rushed down and got to work. Some explo- siors occurred which are supposed to be due to oil or cartridges and the wind famed the danes so furiously that the prevention of a spread was an impoSsibility, hard as the men worked in the frightful cold The Engineering commission officials this morning eX- pressed the desire to be quoted us ex- pr essing the highest appreciation oi the work Of the ire boys and the atti- Jude ot the public generally.
 "Tell them" said Engineer in Charge Weir, "that we shall try to show that appreciation by getting the wharf in shape as quickly as possible '" ' The Commission was figuring this morning on plans 10 accommodate ships until the dock is rebuilt. It was thought likely that barge or bargeS might be secured from Seldovia but under favorable conditions ships can possibly load at the approaches to the dock. For the benefit of strangers it
