FORD PAYS "OUTLAkDiSH"
 SUM FOR OLD MACHINE

HUNTSVILLE, Ark, March 9. - Henry Ford may buy Muscle Shoals or even the battleships of the world which are to be scrapped as result of the Arms Conference, but pur- chase which has interested Arkan- sas more than anything else was the purchase a few days ago of an old fashioned crading machine, the first one ever brought to Madison Coun- try, for which he paid the "outland- ish' sum of $500.
 The old crading maching was the property of s. R. Hanby. The ma- chine had been "out of commission" for several years and was considered by the owner as junk. Ford heard about 1t and offered the 300 simo- Icons, which were quickly accepted.
 Ford gave no reason for the un- usual purchase.

Miss Zena B. Wales, who made d trip to the coast towns of Alaska last summer contributes an interesting illustrated article to a recent issue of the Los Angeles Sunday Times from which the following excerpts are taken: ...... .,... t.
 "Cordova has particular import. ance by reason of being the ocean terminal of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway. Since leav- ing Seattle, 1900 miles away. I had seen no train. A puffing engine looked good. So did the long train of flat cars piled high with bags of copper ore from the Kennecott mine. 200 miles inland, which mine is the in- land terminal of the line and the real reason for it's being.
 "Cordova is thriving, brave little town and her Chamber of Commerce put out a booklet Dress of Cordova Times) that would be credit to any city and announces Cordova, Alaska as the "Gatway to the Richest Copper Mines in the World, the Boring River Coal and Oil Fields and Interior Placer and Quartz Mines, Home of the Sal. mon and Clam Industry" It also states that the book is the result of an avalanche of inquiries.
 During the evening l made some trifling purchases, any of which would have been as much on our own Broadway. then. attracted by name that is home folks to us in Los Angeles, hied me to the picture show house. Sorry said the man, but the last show will be over in five min- utes'
 "why, it can't be! said stupidly. Tt isn't dark yet
 "He laughed and pointed to the clock. It was after 10.
 "In the lobby of this theater there hangs a magnificent painting by Syd- ney Laurence of Anchorage whom 1t was my good fortune to meet later. MT. Laurence has doubtless painted more pictures of Mount Mckinley than any other artist. A large one on an easel receiving it's final touches before going to New York, occupied the center of his Anchorage studio when I was there.
 Some day Alaska will be mecca for painters.
 Prom Cordova many of us made the trip inland fifty miles to the Miles and Childs glaciers and the great bridge that crosses the Copper River between them. Oh, spirit of Rex Beach! His. Iron Trail and "A Chro- matic Bear Hunt make it difficult for the mere casual visitor to say any thing about these wonders that does not sound inane.
 However, the most lasting impress sion carried away from observing these two mighty ice rivers that al most face each other was not the sight -awsome though it was-but the sound. The thunderous roar that comes intermittently Is unlikable to anything can think of, but if you will listen some day when your Ford and my Ford and twenty other Fords, with as many big trucks as there is room for, are tearing through the North Broadway tunnel-and then multiply what yau hear by one hundred-you will get slight idea of the noise a glacier makes when it takes a long breath.
 "Valdez, a quiet town on Prince William Sound and our next stop, has its back almost up against the glacier of the same name. It is, believe the most northerly landing of the so-called southeastern Alaska trip and Is the home of The Pathfinder a creditabln magazine devoted to the interests of the Pioneers of Alaska and develop ment ol the Territory.

AS ALASKA IS VIEWED BY

Fort Liscum fresh painted trim and orderly, in contrast to the unpainted shacks Cn the water fronts is just across a quiet hay from Valdez. We had th-co passengers for the fort; an army officer, his wife and their dog
 "On one of the buildings I say the word hospital. Poor chaps: I thought, and gathered up my maga- zines, book or two and box of Cali fornia crystalized fruit. Then on the way I thought up nice get,in-speech which I spieled to the guard at the entrance, holding out my small gifts as sort of extra bribe. The guard loQAed resistant and tried to speak but I was not to be denied. told him was so sorry for the dear sick soldiers away off in Alaska and he just must let me in. Finally a smile crinkled around that good looking boys eyes, and sure of having won, I permitted him to edge in with, But, lady, listen a minute. If you should happen to have a late snappy Stories there I'd like awful well to get it, bu' the hospital is empty-there isn't a sick man at this fort
 I had been cautioned over and over again about mosquitoes in Alaska and once in while man was to be seen wearing net, but I could count on my fingers all I actually saw-or heard. At Fort Liscum, however, there was small fly or gnat that was a pesky little beast, and he didn't bother with any preliminary buzz either.
 At La Touche, picturesquely situat- ed on an island and the home of one of the Guggenheim mines, we unloaded freight in drizzling rain that flung a veil of sheerest chiffon over forest and mountain The air was soft and the scene, half hidden where the veil seemed to fall in double folds, was en- chanting, mysterious.
 And through it all the tatters tatted and the bridgers bridged.
 "On both the ingoing and outcom- ing trips we docked at number of canneries and salteries in Prince Will liam Sound Some of these landings were nothing short of Spectacular, for tie sound is literally dotted with islands and the fisheries are, of neces- sity, located any place they can find an eyebrow hold. How it would fare with vessel in storm when the warm air from the Japan current and the cold air from the mountains and glaciers are fighting for the right of way, I tremble to speculate. But on a lazy August day the study of the beauty and variety of the marine life in these waters may profitably fill the hours of unloading and loading.
 And then came Seward!
