NEW AUTO SLED TO
 f CARRY THE MAILS OF THE FAR NORTHLAND
Claimed That New Sled Has Been Made Which Will Be Used Over Winter Trails for
 Mail.
(The Seattle Times)

The conquerer of Alaska snows- the Homer Alaska Auto Sleigh
 has been given thorough tryout in the deep snow at Snowqualmie Pass. The Government has signi- fled it's intention of putting hundreds of these sleighs on the Alaska mail runs and just as the horse had to give way to the automobile, so 1t
 IS predicted that the dog tc3m will eventually give way to tho motor sled Running along in one foot of snow at the phenomenal speed of sixteen miles an hour this auto sleigh invented by Frank G. Horner, for nlerly of Seattle, and completed af- ter months of consistent toll, gave the "sourdough" friends of the inven- tor a thrill which ordinarily could only be experienced through some unusual incident of the Northlands. Since the first rush into Alaska the problem of snow transportation in that country has been one of the greatest drawbacks, and the fact that DO improvement over the dog team and sled has been accomplished has been the primary cause of tho coun' try's slow advancement. Thousands of dollars have been spent in an en deavor to beat the dog team, and contraptions without number have been developed, but without the slightest measure of success. s
 In 1910 Frank c. Horner of Homer Hot Springs Alaska, entered the field, and for six winters made q study of Alaska snow conditions, mushing the trails behind dog teams The result of his observations and his labor since 1910 is the Alaska Auto Sleigh, which he has completed by his own labor, and which last week he ran to a point eight miles East of North Bend to make his first t1y-out on snow.
 Up to this time MT. Horner had only his own. opinion that the auto sleigh would operate on snow and solve snow transportation. The old ''sourdough" must be shown, and last week a number of the "old boys" visited the camp several miles above the snow line on the Sunset High way, Great was their wonderment and praise of the Auto Sleigh. It took the six per cent, curves of the highway ct fifteen miles an hour without any difficulty whatever. By en trees appeared to be no obstacle. fer one tree lay across the grade. The branches were cut and the big Gleigh went lover the top" on it's own power without difficulty. On a fresh fall of snow eight inches deep the tracks made by the sleigh were of the same depth made by a man on a pair of six-foot Yukon snow shoes.
 MT. HOrner is now provisioning his sleigh for q trip over the sum nit of the Snowqualmio Pass. and all auto fans will be interested in the results of his trip.

 Excellent Results.

William T. Lopp, chief of the Alas ka Bureau of the Bureau of Educa- ton, and Charles w. Hawkesworth, superintendent of the district of Southeastern Alaska, arrived in Ju- neau yesterday on the Santa Rita from Haines.

They see and realize the need of improved health conditions, and they appreciate the chance offered them to improve con ditions through the Crusade.
 "The hospital at Haines, a tuber- culosis sanitarium, will be closed on the fifteenth of the month, be- cause it has not had enough patients to make it worth while to keep it open.
 klukwan To Incorporate
