 HOOVER

Judge Royal A. Gunnison, of Juneau, federal food administrator for Alaska, sent the following self-explanatory telegram to w. R. Hillary, of this city:
 Herbert Hoover, National food ad- ministrator, advises December sixth malicious reports in Chicago by par ties interested in exploiting sale of meat and protesting against wheat less and meatless days as unnecessary sacrifices by American people.
 The administrator characterizes all such utterances as foolish and un- patriotic. He says that owing to the critical situation of the worlds food today opposition to government con servation measures is comparable to opposition to the draft because fail uf6S III IeeulHS our dllleh, that IcSuIto immediate loss of life aside from seri ous interference with our war meas ures in feeding our allies that results from meatless days have for the first time created a sufficient visible sup ply of meat to allow us to partially comply with quantities requested by the allies for shipment this month and urges continued devotion to food con servation further that notwithstanding the exportation of the whole of the surplus nineteen seveteen wheat crop above normal demand of our own peo- pie It is necessary to restrict the ex- port of wheat so as to retain in the United States sufficient supply to car ry our own people until next harvest and that even with all the conserva- tion made we are still unable to load over four hundred thousand tons of foodstuffs urgently required by the allies this month

AUXILIARY PLANT
 FUR POWER COMPANY

This morning the Cordova Power company began eXcavating for the foundation for its new De La Vergne engine which will be installed in the new auxiliary power plant 40x60, which was recently erected on the point opposite the cable office. This engine weighs 8O,0O0 pounds and two cars are transporting it from New York, where it left on November IT, for Seattle and as soon as it arrives at the latter place it will be immedi- ately shipped to Cordova.
 Although the new management has been in charge only since July 1. no time or expense has been spar ed to give the public the best service possible, and with that end in view the auxiliary plant is being installed so that there will be no interruption in the service, in case the line to the central plant goes down. This i'm provement has necessarily been some what delayed as it was impossible to get immediate delivery on machin- cry. due to war conditions prevailing in the States.
