Pipes to BE Cleaned.
The committee will recommend that
these congested pipes be blown as
soon as possible and new and up-to-
date fixtures installed until electric
lights are provided
AT Business High School the COM
mlttee learned that the candle power
or the electric lights in the rooms in
the front of the building is consid-
erably greater than those in the
rooms in the rear, although $50 watt
lamps are used in all rooms. An in
vestiEation revealed that the cause
Is Que to the fact that the electric
bulbs In the rear rooms had been
In use longer than those in the front
ana the candle power had been re-
uuced through usage which resulted
In the lamps throwing off a yellowish
light.
In the interest of economy the COM
mittee will recommend that the Old
lamps. although still useful. be re-
placed by new globes and that the
old ones be used in basement and
other rooms which are not used for
study purposes. 1t is essential, a
member OF the committee pointed
Out. that the classrooms be well
lighted for the sake of the eyes OF

OFFICERS ORDERED
TO WEAR UNIFORM
ONCEEACH MONTH

Existing orders which permit
Army officers in this city not sta
toned at post to wear civilian
attire while on duty have just
been modified so as to provide that
the officers must wear their uniforms
on duty at least one day during each
month. No reason is given for the
new order, but it has been suggest
ed that it is to insure that the uni
forms shall always be Immediately
available and presentable, and that
the wearer may be reminded OF his
military status. 1t is intimated that
many officers had packed their
uniforms away in moth-proof re-
ceptacles in cold storage, with the
idea that they would not be needed
until the next war.

The committee has tentatively
greed to recommend that classroomS

then to give consideration to those

1t is not the intention of the COM

waterway project wholesalers, small
| johbers and the general public are
! viewing with interest commencement
of eNcavating at the site of the new
terminal warehouse on the Duluth
bayfront
Contracts for the building of the
first two of a fleet of modern freight
ers will be let in time to have the
ships ready at the opening of lake
navigation next spring, according to A.
Miller McDougall of Duluth. president
Of the McDougall Terminal Warehouse
company, which will operate the ter
minal and vessel service, The termin-
al will cost $1,75O,000 and the barges
$500, 900 each. Mr.. McDouGp' said
The route will be down the Great
Lakes and through the Erie cana, -
the ocean at New York. 1t will be the
first time this route has been used for
direct shipments from the head of the
Lakes to the ocean.
The ships will be operated on the
Great Lakes during the period of navi-
cation Of eight months, and then will
be shifted to the Atlantic coastwise
trade, Mr.. McDougall said. If the
business permits, it is contemplated
to operate the ships up the st. L.awr-
ence river to Montreal.
Small manufactures and jobbers are
expected to be benefited by the SER
vice which will allow these firms both
in the east and west to engage space
without personal representation.
Plans provide for the erection of
power plant adjoining the warehouse
here. There will also be an artificial
ice plant novel feature will be

Rail System Has
Opened Up Heart
of Alaska Country

/ ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. la.
PD-"All aboard through train for
the interior" Thus sings out the
white coated porter, standing with
step in hand at the rear of the Sour
dough" limited. Glancing along the
train ii is found to be made UP of eX-
press and baggage car, day coach
Pullman sleeper and an observation
chair car.
1t seems incongruous that this
equipment is ready to dash through
the heart of Alaska and bring up on
the banks of the Tanana river, that
mighty stream whose mere name con-
Jured up visions of arguments, dog
teams, myriads of caribou and the old
days when only strong men reached
the Tanana.
On July 13 the through freight took
the place of the mixed train operated
heretofore and a regular bi-weekly
passenger and freight service has been
installed.
Travellers recall Il trip over this
route two years ago. 1t entailed a
as it entered the Broad Pass country,
where operation extended almost to
the last rail laid. Then came the
horse-drawn sleigh or dogteam to the
next roadhouse at Summit, a bleak,
desolate spot in winter, hemmed in
by icy mountains and swept by wintry
blasts. Overnight at the crude road
house and the trip was continued to
Nen4na, on the banks of the Tanana,
down a dangerous canyon where the
dogsled clungN to the beetling cliffs
by the teeth of the brake. Maybe it
was 40 degrees below zero and only
the trip braved it.
Today this same country is unfolded
in scenic grandeur from the window
of the Pullman or the rear platform
of the observation parlor car; or may
