NEW ELECTRIC
 BOILERS PROVE
 A BIG SUCCESS
Installation of Electrically Fired Boilers for Tread well and Alaska
 Juneau Flats.

TREADWELL, July 23.-For the past two weeks, steam has been generated from an electrically fired boiler at the Treadwell power plant, and, according to Supt. Preston and other officials, this means an i'm -mense saving in the cost of fuel oil, which was formerly used in general ing the steam for the various depart ments and mines at Treadwell.
 In short interview with The Empire representatives yesterday, Mr. Preston said:
 "The installation of this system was deemed advisable owing to the great amount of surplus power fur nished by the hydro-electric plants at Sheep Creek and at Nugget Creek. The power required by this system varies from 600, to HOO kilowatt hours per hour, which when figured up at the old price of juice" would be a most expensive generating sys- tenn, but as the power is to be had for the taking, under the circum- stances, it is a most economical pow CT and heating system.
 "This electrically-fired boiler was made entirely from scrap material on hand at the Treadwell Company and in all probability had it been made to order, would have been much small Ter than it's present dimensions. The ;e, iv,nh In io at O ninn feet tall and stands on end. It uses 2300 volts, single phase, of alternat- ing current power. A steel shaft six inches in diameter is suspended vertically in the center of the boiler, and is insulated from the shell, ex- cept from the circuit completed by the water. The path of the electric current is first from one line through the center shaft, then through the water to the boiler shell, then on to the other line wire.
 "The boiler employs it's own wa ter as it's heating clement there being no coils or metallic heating wires whatsoever. No heat is de- Velopeu any pldce except III the wa ter itself, the friction between the electricity and the water, causing the heat
 Another advantage this system has over the old method of general ing steam by fuel oil is the fact that it operates with practically TO attention, it onliy being necessary to inspect it about twice every twen- ty-four hours and adjust the feed to correspond with the steam de manded, which is this case of course is according to weather conditions
 The new boiler will furnish steam for necessary use in the different departments at Treadwell and for the hot water and steam heated cottages throughout the Treadwell system of heating, which only two years ago, engineers estimated the approximate cost of $90,O0O per an mum to maintain"
 MT. Preston stated that a similar system of generating steam by cleo tricity is now under construction at

The ruling of the Food Ad-

of hens and pullets will terminate
April 10th. After this date it
will be lawful to sell poultry of
all kinds. 1t is hoped this will
not result in throwing a large

Such a course would have a bad
effect in causing a sudden drop

The absence OF pupils has been
due mostly to vaccination. which

the pupils to be out If school the
past week.
The interest show, by pupils
and by parents keeping them in
school has been very good. For
the past two weeks we have had
our schools according to the new
time and there have been very

A GOOD SUGGESTION

1t has been suggested that.
considering the likelihood of all
wheat and -four being used for
our soldiers and allies, it might
be well for the farmers of the
valley to secure Fllleretta, Kaffir
Corn and Milo Maize seed, while
there is a supply to be secured
and plant enough for their own
flour anyway. 1t will pay to
raise these crops, as a great deal
of these different kinds of -four
will be used before long.

THEY'LL IN FRANCE WHERE THE LILIES BLOOM

; They lie in France
 Where lilies bloom
 Those flowers pale
 That guard each tomb
 Are sain tly souls
 That smiling stand
 Close by tn em in
 That martyred land,
 In France they lie
 Where lilies bloom,/ And mutey there the long night shadows creep From quiet hills to mourn for them who sleep, While ore them through the dusk go silently The grieving clouds that slowly drift to sea, And lately round them nloaned the Winter wind Whose voice, lamenting, sounds so coldly kind, Yet in their faith those waiting hearts abide The time when turns forever that false tide. - Those flowers fair
 For them made room
 Not vainly placed
 The crosses stand
 Within that brave And stricken land
 Their honor lives,
 Their love endures,
 Their noble death
 The right assures. For they shall have their hearts desire They who, unflinchingly, braved the fire, Across the fields their eyes at last shall see Through clouds and mist the hosts of victory. -Perciva Allen in New York Times.

ONE OF THE THINGS FORD MADE.
Edseil Ford seems to have dropped
from the Gce OF the earth into some
place where there is no telegraph
communication or mails. Having been
drafted for service in the Unifed
States army his father. who wants to
be senator in congress from Michi-
gan, made an appeal TO the local draft
board that he be exempted. He stat
ed the Ford factory was really being
carried along on Edsel's back. But
the local board couldn't see IL in that
way, and turned the request for ex-
emption down. Then the father went
to the district board, hoping the MEM
bers would recognize the great work
Edsell was doing, but the district
board after looking into the case, said
the young man wasn't bit necessary
TO the Ford automobile industry.
Then this man Ford, this great pa
cifist who fitted out a ship TO carry a
lot OF cranks TO Europe with the
avowed intention OF stopping the war,
sought President Wilson in the inter
est of his son. pleading with him to
permit the young man 20 remain at
home in the bosom OF his family while
your son, and ours are in the trench
es fghting for this young fellow Ford
who has streak OF yellow running
all the way down from his head to his
feet. along his spine, and then
around on the other side to the point
OF starting, a great yellow band en-
Veloping his entire frame
And since he held that meeting with
President Wilson have you heard
where this young man Edsel is? Have
the newspapers been printing any &C
counts OF his being decorated for
bravery In action at the front with the
thousands OF other young Americans?
Has there been announcement from
any source as to where he is or what
he Is doing?
DO you know?
Have you heard anyone talking
about the work he is in, where he is
doing It, and OF what 1t consists?
'. ell, the president granted Edsel de-
ferred classification. He's at home
safe and sound
