THE HIRED MAN OF
 COMMUNITY
(By Associated Press)

SEWARD, March 20. - As a gen eral utility man, Conductor c. F.. Mul. lin, who handles the tri-weekly mail train on the government railroad north from Seward is gaining unique reputation.
 The train of which Mullin is con ductor is a combination affair, com posed of one passenger coach and any number of freight cars. It is oper. ated this winter from Seward to Mile 40, for the benefit of the overland travel and to distribute material to the construction camps where line changes are being made on this part of the old Alaska Northern railway. now being rebuilt into the general sys- tenn of government railroads in Alas ka. There are about 800 people at work or living along this forty miles of line this winter. Not enough to make 1t worth while to put a mail clerk on the line. so Conductor Mullin was sworn in as mail clerk. When asked about his extra duties not down on the list at headduarters Mullin said: "The fare is 8 cents mile on Uncle Sam's railroad in Alas. ka tit is ten cents .on the private lines in the territory, and as 1t also costs quite a lot to talk long distance through the Seward telephone ex- change, most of the 800 find it cheap CT to have the conductor transact their business in town.
 'I keep a little note book and iot down all my errands. Sometimes 1t takes a couple of hours after I report to do all the necessary running around. Here's a page for one trip, so you can see for yourself"
 The page included the following items Exchanging pair of shoes for lady for size larger; matching a piece of calico for a lady at Mile 34 who wanted two yards more; four or. ders for bills of groceries and two for meat "to come on the next train. and "two-bit book stamps for E.-, c. 0. D."

Camp Hill Fire Company
Reorganizes and Plans
to Buy Motor Apparatus

Camp Hill, Pa, Dec. 5.-At a
meeting of the Camp Hill fire COM
pany last evening officers were elect
ed and plans made for working joint
ly with the borough in equipping the
department with motor driven fire
apparatus. For some time this conf
pany has not been progressing in its
work due to the lack of interest in
its members.
Last evenings meeting was well
attended and thirty members were
taken into the company. interest
in the activities of the company had
dropped so low that what few MEM
bers attended to the affairs of the
organization asked council to take
over the property. Council in talk
ing action on the matter requested
that the fire company committee get
the majority of the company MEM
bers to sign a petition showing their
willingness to make this move. This
resulted in stirring up enthusiasm
among the members and the meet
ing last evening was the elimination
of the campaign.
At the meeting speeches were
made by r. E. CaRill, II. w. Walters,
c. w. Irwin, NJ. b. King. Howard
Sigler, the Rev. Raymond Ketch-
ledge, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church: Elmer s. Mills and other
members.
1t was decided to test the fire alarm
system every Saturday at noon. Off
