ADVICE TO CAR OWNERS
When you step the starter and she refuses to go
There is something wrong. but that you well know;
Dom start in to and turn the air blue
She has to be started and that's up to you.
Just get out your crank and give her a twist;
If you happen to be lucky you won't break your wrist
When you get started, come straight in to us;
We will put in battery that will crank your bus
We will fix up the old unless it's all in
Or sell you a one, but you must have the tin.

Jim Hurley Goes To the Pioneer
 Home at Sitka

James Hurley, S9 years old and blind, arrived from Craig on the Princess Pat Sunday and left on the City of Seattle Monday for Sitka where he will enter the Pi- oneers Home.
 MT. Hurley has been a from tiersman most of his life. In the early Seventies he came to Olym- pia, Wash. At that time there were less than a dozen white women in Olympia, and only four white women in Seattle. In 1877 he came to Wrangell and from here he went up the Stikine into the Cassiar. During the Eighties he came out of the Cassiar and went to Tombstone, Arizona, and from there he went into Old Mex ico. In 1896 he returned to Wrangell and resided here until 1898 when he joined in the Klon- dike rush. This adventure proved to be an unfortunate one for MT. Hurley as it cost him his savings amounting to more than 5000.
 After spending several years in the vicinity of Dawson he re- turned to Wrangell and again took up his abode here. From here he went to the West Coast where he was employed for six years at the Jumbo mine which was operated by the late Charles A. Sulzer.
 For the past five years he has resided at Craig. MT. Hurley says that it was his hope that he could be active as long as he lived and that it is only on account of his blindness that he has finally decided to go to the Pioneers home.
 Mr. Hurley says that during the two days he was here en route to the Home a number of his old friends called on him at the hotel and he requested the Sentinel to express to them his appreciation of their thoughtful. ness.

 MT. Oldsby was of Scandina. vian birth. He is not known to have any relatives in America other than a brother somewhere in the States.
