VALDEZ UNIVERSITY
 BECOMES REALITY

Not long ago the tide left a pecu- liar something on the Valdez Flats. It resembled nothing that had ever been seen before in these parts. It was of a creamy color. jelly compo- sition, and spaghetti cunningness. It was precious ambergris, and was placed in a box and carefully guard ed until some wise man came along and said positively that the thing never did have an intimacy of whale but once dwelt in the inner regions of shark, and held down the job of viscera '.. We mention this merely to point out the fact that many unfamiliar things are always carried into a com munity on the rising tide of It's pros- perity and that only the closest i'm spection will disclose their true char acter. Probably not even the arrival of the ambergris created so much surprise as did the advent in Valdez of school of higher learning. The idea has been smilingly turned over and poked and little pink pills pre- | scribed.
 But in spite of all that the idea has become reality. Glasses have al ready been formed The school Is alive and will live and is dedicated to the purpose of diffusing general and special knowledge.
 Formerly all knowledge was sup posed to be at the bottom of a well or the far end of telescope and that no one could secure it without wear ing black trimmed spectacles, long ,, hair and a long face. The theory has been exploded for the University of Valdez is ready and willing to focus the telescope for any man or woman even tho he or she is as bald as the dome of Sugar Loaf mountain. In other words this school has something that you want and need. no matter who or what you are.
 We are apt to look on it imper- sonally, commend 1t highly to the other fellow, and give 1t the go-by ourselves, either because of incidence or because we think we are too bloomin' ignorant anyhow to learn anything. The real reason is to req lize. or bingles to win, that we can find no time for pleasure or business trips in the Land of Thought. We are is such haste to be doing or to be gathering the gain that we forgot one thing of which these are but the parts, namely, we forgot to live; and we are not really living unless we are alive to the things about us and maintain a lively interest in knowing what is at the bottom of that we'll of know ledge. Only too soon will the time come when of necessity we must sit all day and into the night before the fire with folded hands. Right now, this first day of November is the time to dip into the we'll of knowledge and live for the best

Every consumer should take advan- tage of this discount within the time stated, as the superintendent and city accountant are positively forbidden from allowing the discount on bills paid after the 10th of the month.

ICE !

A block of McCulloch's ice will do more to keep you cool during the hot weather than anything else you can buy. It is the only ice that is manu- factured that is free of traces of oil and all other impurities. You know that any engine that is run has to have cylinder oil fed into the steam chest, and this steam that operates any compressor is made into distilled water, and this water is the water that your ice is made of. My plant is the absorption machine and does not have to operate an engine, hence it is not possible to have the poison ous cylinder oil put into your stom- ach by using my ice. My ice will outlast any one else's ice, as my cakes are thicker, and common sense tells you that the thicker your block the longer your ice will last. l also run with a lower temperature in my tank A trial is to be convinced.
