Art in Buying Gas.
to be much art in buying gas 50 long
as the bankroll Is fat. But the JOB OF
filling up is really quite complicated
and worthy of serious thought. Any
motortst who buys his gas always al
the same place and from the same
pump is quite likely to be getting short
measure without knowing it. Changing
pumps has often resulted in surprising
increases in mileage. Considering that
many tanks are never inspected, this
ID easily understood.
1t goes without saying that the mo-
torist should watch the pumping proc
ess carefully. though many drivers seem
to think this can take care OF itself.
It isn't always q matter OF the gas dis
penser's ethics; more often it is simply
a case of unfamiliarity with the pump.
1t doesn't cost him anything to make
the mistake Of giving you four gallons
instead Of hve.
Most motorists have a feeling that
they are annoying the dealer by watch
ing proceedings. They fear that he will
try to slip something over just because
cry from the truth. Gasoline dealers
want to be watched. and this is one
reason why:
A fGvorite trick with INSCRIPTIONS
motorists Is to drive up to filling sta
ton, order a lot OF gas and then dash
Off when the dealers back is turned.
Dealers have, therefore. come to sus-
pect the man who sits at the wheel Of
his car with the engine running. He Is
likely to make of any minute-and
there's no stopping him II he once gets
started.
The moral in this for the average
motorist is that unless he shuts off his
engine and appears normal the dealer Is
quite likely to hurry the filing process
and unconsciously give short measure.

Parking Pointers.
The builders of modern hotels have
anticipated the shortage Of parking
spaces and SO In most instances It Is
seen that hotels have q side entrance
to a street which is not so cong ested.
These are the entrances to look for
when you are travelling and want to
stop on for food or lodging. A lit

most cities where parking space at
the front entrance of hotel Is very
limited. that to the side is unlimited.

OPPOSED TO CHRISTMAS PIE

'The Puritans were not alone in their opposition to mince or Christmas pie. The Quakers also fought against 1t, and at length even many good peo- pie of the Church of England began to think that clergymen should abstain froIL il. against which prejudice Bick- erstaffe thus remonstrates: The Christmas pie is, in its own nature, kind of consecrated cake or badge of distinction, and yet it Is often for bidden the druid of the family. Strange that sirloin of beef, whether boiled or roasted. when entire is ex- posed to the utmost depredations and invasions. but if minced into small pieces and tossed up with plums and sugar 1t changes the property, and for sooth is meat for his master"

THE PATHFINDER

The Pathfinder, the All-Alaska Mag azine, published in the interest of the Pioners of Alaska. is unique, and fills the Alaskan field much as the Sunset Magazine. under control of the South ern Pacific, exploited the state of California The Pathfinder, which was started several years ago, was finan- ced by Pioneer Igloos and members, the Igloos taking 500 shares of stock at S1 each. and the members (Pio- neers onlyl taking from one to 200 shares. The magazine was first pub lished in Anchorage, but after the second number was issued was re- moved to Valdez. where a corpora tion was formed, which purchased the interest of John W. Frame. and retired his stock.
 The Pathfinder Publishing Com pany, as first organized. had as its manager George J. Love, who has brought the magazine to high state of perfection by his efforts A. J. Di- mond, the we'll known Cordova at torney, was named president; and the board of trustees was composed of H. B. Selby, c. B. Smith and A. M |. Derringer. Ample funds were sub scribed, and the management launch ed under most fortuitous environ ment.
 The Pathfinder started off with a circulation of about HOO. which was quickly increased until today it has one of the largest subscription lists in Alaska, and reaches hundreds of people in the States. Each edition is profusely illustrated, and topics of interest to prospective settlers are touched upon in each issur. One month will see the mining interests of certain sections described; other issues will show farming posstbili- ties. Fisheries and other industries are given accurate write-ups. The magazine does not confine itself to any one section of the Territory. but gives publicity to every part of Alas ka. The publication is non political, non sectarian, and its energies are devoted to boosting the four divisions of Alaska, and detailing the lives of the pioneers who added this great empire to the Union.
 The Pathfinder is growing, and with it's growth it is becoming better and reaching a larger clientele. It is out of debt. has handsome surplus in it's treasury, and will exert tre- mendous influence in developing Alaska Its editor, Harry Mccain. as- sistant district attorney, Is making the Pathfinder the foremost publica- tion in the Territory. Prizes have ben offered for stories by Alaskan authors, and these will appear in la ter numbers.

FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

It is said that Christmas was first observed in the year 9s and that'it was not until the year 137 that it was made a solemn feast. Pope Phosphorus de creed that it should be celebrated by all Christians in that year. On one early Christmas day the Roman Ean- peror Diocletian, hearing that the Christians assembled in their church were engaged in celebrating the birth Of Christ. commanded that the doors of the church be closed and the build ing set on fire. This was done and six hundred persons lost their lives in the burning church. .

Alaskan Tells of His Trip
 To Siberia
Former Anchorage Man Writes of Hardships Endured by Him on
 Japanese Steamer

Under date of September 25 Dick Hussey, we'll known in Anchorage, writes to Wm. Bourdreau and Jerry Murphy concerning his experiences. Dick left Anchorage last spring for Siberia and his last letter written from Okhotsk, Siberia, says
 Okhotsk, Siberia,
 Sept. 25, 1922. Dear Bill and Jerry
 We made our first landing on Si- berian soil yesterday morning at 6 o'clock at place called Alan, 250 miles south of Okhotsk, eight days from Hakodate, Japan. Two days Of that we spent in the midst of ty phoon; at least We had twenty-four hours of the worst and heaviest sea ever witnessed; 100-mile gale. Mount Mckinley looks small coms pared to those rifles. They headed the boat into the wind, held her there for twenty-four hours under full steam. and she gained one mile. The next twelve hours she made twenty miles and after that it be- came calmer. We got into it just after we passed Saghalien island.
 Alan very beautiful little cove; about twenty houses, five white people. fifteen or twenty kutsh and Tangoos natives, and 250 troops. who are living in tents. The Bolsheviks were within thirty miles Of the place six weeks ago. The peo- pie were ready to flee to the mount aims when a gunboat with 300 troops came in and the Bolshies went back. The people in that burg treated us royalty. The Russian soldiers were very sociable. Several of them came on board, shook hands and hunted whiskey. The Japs did big busi- ness in some kind of saki. IL is worth about 50 cents in Japan. They sold it to them at s2.50 a bottle. Met the governor, very nice old man. Had long talk with him through an interpreter. He and sev- eral others. including three Russi- ans who spoke English, wanted us to stop off at Alan and go down the bay fifty miles where they said there were good prospects. We would have done so, but Al Winchel, one of our party, left Hakodate four days ahead of us for Okhotsk (boat had only room for two passengers so Al and a fellow named Burlington went on 1t. We could not get our freight on that boat, otherwise we might have crowded in somewhere.
 It is very miserable travelling on these Japanese boats. They have no passenger accommodations. Got to pack your own blankets and grub No place to cook your grub. We have been existing on humpback salmon and bread for nine days. Expect to make Okhotsk tomorrow. Everybody feeling good.
 None of the Jap crew talks Eng fish. We took on a few natives at Alan, so you can imagine how cheer full it is. Alan looked good to me, and I would like to have investi- gated that section. Three trading posts there-Hudson's Bay, Swenson, and Jap outfit.
 This is very barren looking country along the coast. Haven't seen a sign of life. house, boat or anything else for the last twentyfour hours. had a Japansee stamp in my book, so thought I would write while aboard. No telling if there will be any chance to write from Okhotsk. If so, will send all the news.-AAchorage Times.

STRIKERS HEARING
CONTINUED BY COURT
Jim Bowman, Grover Lee and A.
C. Harrell Allowed to Give
Bond.

Hearing on the alleged contempt of
court proceedings against Jim Bowman.
Grover Lee and A. G. Harren, striking
railway shopmen, before Judge William
B. Shppard in the United States court
yesterday was not completed and will not
be for several weeks at least. The shop
men are charged with violating the re-
straining order recently issued.
Acting for Phillip D. Beall, attorney for
the shopmen, who was out of the city,
Montrose Edrehi read the answer of the
defendants denying every allegation in
the affidavit of e. o. Saltmarsh, super
intendent of the Pensacola division of the
L. & N, upon which the court issued the
order of citation. 1t was then requested
that Mr. Saltmarsh be put under oath
SO as to show to the court that the allie
cations of the affidavit were sworn to
from his own knowledge of such acts.
This brought up a point which, in the
opinion of Judge Sheppard, should be de-
cided by a jury after more thorough in
vestigation. Judge Sheppard will be out
of the city for some time holding court,
so It was finally decided that the hear
ing should be continued until a time con-
venient for all concerned.
The defendants were all allowed to
make bonds of 5000 each.
