NEVER NEGLECT CAR
Proper Attention Given TO Ma
chine Means a Whole Lot

Expert Points Out Where Owner Is
Frequently at Fault and Fails TO
Get Proper Service-coat OF
Paint Needed at Least
Once a Year.

Neglect. rather than use. impels a
or two-at least that is the way an ex.
pert has figured it out
"A man simply will not take time TO
lay car up long enough TO have il
properly cleaned and adjusted; or he
will not. in many cases, even have it
washed" he said. The result is that
It becomes shabby, nuts become loos-
ened. the top is torn and the owner is
ashamed OF it. Rather than wait for
an overhauling and painting Job, de-
priving him of the use OF the car, he
trades it in on a new one.
But there Is merit in this. too.
For while the owner might have con.
siderable in depreciation cost. he has
that taken care Of. has a car that is
up to the minute. knows everything is
new and safe and clean and. so long
as he can afford II. why should he not
do It this way?
But il is nonsense to think that a
car will wear out. so far as service is
concerned, in even half a dozen years
We have number OF cars older than
that, and they are all giving good serv-
ice. A good car. properly handled and
cared for, kept clean and tight and
painted once year, will last decade,
without the least trouble.
"A peep behind the veil OF secrecy

came known that over 20 trucks. most
ly OF one and one-half tons capacity,
had been received by government off,
GERS at Ell Paso. Tex, and Columbus,
y. NJ. says Chicago manufacturer.
Peculiar interest attaches to this
news because OF recent reports to the
effect that the railroads have been
unable to cope with the situation. Thus
the problem OF transportation OF sup
plies deyolved entirely upon motor
trucks. proving that trucks are bccom-
ing greater factor than ever in
modern transportation. It is easy to
conceive Of the troubles that would
have been encountered had horse
drawn vehicles been called upon when
the railroads proved inadequate. The
day Of the truck is here. and this is
ample evidence in proof OF this state
ment.
Upon these trucks falls the arduous
labor of transporting munitions and
provisions for the American troops. OF
necessity they must be at the right
place at the right time. They must
keep pace with the advancing columns
in order that Uncle Sans soldier boys
may be well fed. The going will be
difficult. for ruts and deep SAID will be
met continually. II will constitute a
real test for trucks as well as tires"

 The minimum wages for unslilled labor offered now by the government board mean three dollars and a half a day for eight hours. The labor board has probably taken into account all these facts as well as the increase in the cost of living

WICK BOASTS
 LOCAL SCRIBES
DELEGATE SAYS HORRIBLE LIES ARE BEING CALLED FROM
 THIS CITY.

In a letter to Leon Booker, secre- tary of the Chamber of Commerce of Seward, received this morning from Delegate Wickersham the Delegate severely condemns the fal,ed dispatch es sent out from Seward to newspap- CTS outside. He sends copy of the Washington Post which is a member of the Associated Press and which carried a cabled dispatch saying that the natives of the Kuskokwim are dying of hunger. He also states that untruthful statements are sent out by some correspondent here about condi- tions in this city and Anchorage and along the route of the government railroad.
 The Gateway has from time to time drawn attention to those fake dis patches but evidently has not been able to shame the so-called cores pondent from sending out the stuff. The Delegate is much worked up about the whole thing and says mem bers of congress sometimes stop him and ask him if Alaskans are the sort of people to build railroads for, when they do such things as the Seward correspondent says
 "It seems to me you people at Sew ard ought to stop the sending out of telegrams of this kind" says Mir. Wickersham in this letter, and in an- other place he says:
 "All the winter the papers in the east have been filled with malicious and un4ruthful telegrams about An chorage and Seward and other places along the railroad"
 The story of the starvation in the Kuskokwim, the delegate says, has caused legislators to believe that AL asla is not rich, has no resources and is not able to support a railroad. This story was published here in Seward and the Iditarod Pioneer in a recent issue calls the whole thing a fabrica- ton. It says the people of the Kus- kokwim were never so well off. The Gateway has drawn attention to this faking inside and outside so often that it is getting tired of it and if the people of Seward themselves can not stop it they deserve the roast of Wickersham.

LONDON, April 28-lIajor General Sir John Max well has arrived in Ireland to take command of the Brit

 (Note from United Press correspondent: The fact that the censor permitted the last phrase of the above dis patch to pass taken all over the United States an an m dicaton that the situation in Ireands most serious The reports received here from private sources seem to con- firm this belief It is reported that the counties of Meath Louth and Dublin are all in ars and are centers of Sim Fen activities Wild mors are also current of continued bloody fighting in the streets of Dublin city but nothing is definitely known in this respect The western counties are also reported to have arisen No news of reliable kind has been given to the number of casualties In England the public loudly demanding the immedi- ate execution of Sir Roger Easement and the government even it wished to be enent for the sake of the future relations of the two peoples will probably be forced to shoot him He is closely guarded in the Tower against any attempt of sympathizers in London to set him free.

A straw vote was taken amongst the men of all crafts working around Seward and along the Alaska North ern line for the government engineer ing commission this morning to as certain their views of the wage schedule fixed by the government lab or commission, and ninety-eight per cent of the mer agreed to accept the terms. The vote was taken by the of fcials of the engineering commission and, as stated, all crafts were includ- ed, so that no strike or supensiou of work may be looked for on this part of the line.
 In speaking of the wage schedule fixed by the labor board it is worth stating that on the construction of the Alaska Northern railroad some ten or eleven years ago the highest wages paid to unskilled laborers were thirty cents an hour for ten hours. After paying for board and hospital fees a man was able to clear a dollar and ninety-fve cents for a TO- hour day Previously the wages were only twenty-seven cents an hour. On
