COTWALS SEES GREAT FUTURE
 NOME SECTION

There is promise of steady and Iros- perous progress in Alaska, according to Capt. J. C. Gotwals. who in his travels about the territory in his ca pacity as am@nber of the road con- stiuction service, has picked up broad guaGe v4ew of the question. Among the summer are:
 The additional development of pla- cer' mining which is necessary to gain vas. amount of the gold still re- maining in placel:s of Seward penin- sula. calls for cheap power and me- chanical equipment. Outside coal now sells in Nome for s45 q ton. This is prohibitlry for power uses or either for thawing except from the richest placers.
 The water power sites at salmon Lake and in the Saw Tooth range are most promising as q cheap source of power.
 Second in promise is the coal de posits on the Kugruk river. Further development is necessary to ascertain the quality and exten. of this coal. Transportation is necessary to bring the coal from the mines to the placer workings. The road projection from !he kugruk 1dver to Candle will pass through this coal field and Will lend q hand in facilitating its development. The coasting trade and trade with Siberia from the Seward peninsula and particularly from Nome has now reached substantial dimensions. The breakwater now being constructed a. Snake liver will be of great use to these costing vessels The local pro- duction of ivory and furs has contin- | ued. although some of the best car vers died during the influenza cpl denaic. All of this local commerce | has aided Seward peninsula greatly in maintaining business activity and properity.
 The rindeer industry has reached a definite status as was shown by the l.ooo reindeer shipped to Seattle on the Ist Victoria. Four cold storage plants have been established a. Cam de. on Kotzebue sound, at Nome. at Golovin bay and at Unalakleet re- spectively. The facilities with addi- tional cold storage on vessels serving Seward peninsula will enable a steo., production of reindeer meat to be made and :ihus give market for th;s delicious meat in the United States.
 The visit of Roald .Amundson. on liis departure for the north pole. and or the army flyers, has made q his- toiHcally memorable summer for the Seward peninsula sourdoughs. Cor. dova Times.

 April 2S, 1920. A. M. White Company, Juneau. Alaska. Dear Sirs:
 Referring to your letter of the Fist inst. it is true that we ship ped about s3O.000. % furs through the bank to Well Bros. this season. The principal reason we shipped this amount to them was because they handled our business sltisfac- toI1ily and paid a fair price for the goods.
 We did receive Well circular and you deserve credit for this. However. We shipped to several other houses which did not mail us any advertising matter. The req. son Well got the biz end of our business was because he treated us right.
 Yours very truly,
 G. W. UPSHAW.
 Vice-President. (this is reproduction of a letter to our advertising agent in Alaska)

 MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 22. - Smoked glasses for men were sug- gested by the Rev. Herbert WhitloCk, pastor of the Peoples Baptist taber- nacle, in a sermon. He said they should be restrained from staring at the women who resort to paint, pow. der and bare knees to attract atten- tion. He declared that women so garbed are only creating a false i'm. pression and point to women who dress simply and less attractively as being more intelligent
 The Rev. Mir. WhitlOCk says Man chester streets are getting worse than Broadway. "It is now time" he said, "to save men who stand on the street corners and stare at short skirts and rolled.down stockings These men should be equipped with heavy smoked glasses"

 TOPEKA, Kan. Aug. 22.-What's in a name?
 The department of vital statistics of the state of Kansas is commencing to think there is a great deal to inter est the public in some names. Some of the names that are sent in to the department with the record of a birth are so "freakish" that it is hard to be- Iieve that fond parents actually have tagged" their offspring with such queer names.
 A Kansas family by the name of Bruno sent in the name of their heir apparent as Noble-Noble Bruno. In another section of the state lives the Mutt family One of its progeny is called Pleasant Mutt Another tot who will have a mighty hard time learning to spell her own name is called Dolores Antoinette Gwendolyn Huippelshenser.

Lennox's hands clasped, and he
leaned forward on the sled. "Pay

Cranston, some time this winter. If l

And that's one reason why I'm going
TO try to carry out this plan I've got.
''The second reason Is that it's the

none of us are deceived on that point.

to talk about finding Cranston's win
ter quarters, and then, with my bare
hands, conquering him, taking his food
and his blankets and his snowshOes
and his rifle, to fight away these
wolves, and bringing 'em back here"
"You wouldn't be barehanded," the
girl reminded him. you could have
the pistol"
He didn't even seem to hear her.
I've been thinking about it. It's a
long, long chance-much worse than
the chance we had of getting out by
straight walking. | think we could
have made it. if the wolves had kept
off and the snowshoe hadn't broken.
1t would have nearly killed us. tut |
believe we could have got out. That's
why | didn't try this other way first.
A man with his bare hands hasn't
much of n chance against another with
n rifle, and don't want you to be too
hopeful. And of course, the hardest
problem is finding his camp.
But / do feel sure of one thing:
that he is back to his old trapping line
on the North Fork-sOmewhere sClth
of hare-and his camp Is somewhere
on the river. | think he would have
gone there so that he could cut of any
attempt | might make to get through
with those letters. My plan Is to start
back at an angle that will carry me
between the North Fork and our old
house. Somewhere In there I'll hnd
his tracks, the tracks he made when
he first came over TO burn up the
house. | suppose he was careful to
mix 'em up after once he arrived
here. but the first part of the way he
likely walked straight toward the
house from his camp. Somewhere, If !
20 that way, I'll cross his trail-with-
in 10 miles at least. Then I'll back
track him TO his camp"
"And never come back !" the girl
cried.
Maybe not. But at least every
thing that can be done will be done.
Nothing will be left. No regrets. We
will have made the last trial. I'm not
going to waste any time, Snowbird.

TIRE BOOTS AFFORD
NEEDED PROTECTION
Patches Prevent Inner Tube
From Blowing Out.
Several Kinds Of Devices in Use
Type Most Generally Used 10 In.
serted Inside Of caa.9-ToweI
Comes in Handy.

A blowout patch, or boot, Is one
which is placed either inside or on the
outside of a casing to prevent the in
ner tube from blowing out. If the tire
carcass has a weak spot 1t should of
course be vulcanized il the tire Is
worth it. But If the tire is so badly
worn or damaged as not to be worth
v%ulcanizing, a blowout patch may be
Used to strengthen the weak point.
There are several kinds In general
use.
The "hOOk on" kind, as the name
implies, is a type that hooks on over
the tire around the rim of the wheel
and securely reinforces the fractured
place in the casing. These patches,
however, make a rather rOugh-riding
proposition. Every time the wheel
goes around and the patch comes in
contact with the ground, a distinct
jolt is felt by the occupants Of the ear.
A similar boot Is also made in the
LACE Oh" style-that is, it can be
laced on over the bad place in the cas-
ing by a lace which passes through
metal eyes in the same manner that a
shoe is laced.
Blowout patches inserted inside the
casing prevent the tube from coming
in contact with the broken fabric Of
