NEW WARh1 STORAGE
 INCORPORATES INNOVATION

4 new warm storage warehouse of the P, C. Co. now nearing completion carries Gut some ae5y ideas in such structures. The stove Is set in plt below the level of the main t,2cr and is to be connected up with hot air pipes which will extend the length of the room An ingenious arrangement of piping from the floor conveys the coEGer air of the lower portion of the room to the ceiGug. where it is circulated by currents created by the hot sir pipes. It is claimed that by this means an even temperature can be maintained in all parts of the build ing. The room has been lined with table oilcIoth making t completely alright, and giving it a pleasing and sanitary appear ance Cyril Wood, who designed it, claims shat he will effect big saving in fuel and give absolute protection from frost and extreme heat by the methods used.

RELATED SEWARD MAIL
 MAKES ITS APPEARANCE

4 consignment of mail which was dis patched from Seward during the last week in April reached Iditarod last Saturday. It was the Last consignment of the winter service and because the carriers failed to meet at the connecting point It lay in the roadhCuse for month or so while ottscigt red tape at Washington was unwound sutti- cientlv to allow orders to he issued to the contractor at Seward to rescue the malt bags and take them back to Seward and reship them by way of Skagway Whltehorse @nd the Yukon,
 Much of this mail matter was second class and showed the effects of hard usage. and apparently had been frequently sub merged in water.
 It IS quite likely that some interesting, though annoying, business complication, were attributable to this delayed mail, aS many patrons of the offices here had almost forgotten about its existence, or If they re mcn.bered. probably thought it had been I0St

WESTINGHOUSE COMPANY
 MAKES SIGNIFICANT APPEAL

PITTSBURGH, July 12-The Westing- house interests here are seeking 1000 men who are willing to sign an agreement to enter a new plant to be built for the manu- facture of war munitions by a secret process and remain imprisoned for ten months, all communication with the outside world to be shut off.
 Men who have been approached were told hat the plant will manufacture a power ful implement of war and the secret must be guarded until the government sees fit to make the details public. Only those workmen who will be engaged in the pro duction of the new weapon will know its character and the details of manufacture.
 Recreation and entertainment Of every possible sort will be furnished the isolated employees Pay double that they now get is guaranteed and bonuses will be paid for high production. Only picked men whose Americanism is unquestioned and whose skill in their respective vacations is of the highest will be employed.
 Officials of the Westinghouse interests to- day refused to talk An artisan of high standing, who was approached by the West inghouse agents said he had received an intimaton that the new plant would turn out in large quantities one of the late in ventions of Thomas A. Edison
