HURRICANE At GULF
GRADUALLY WAVES
High Winds Continue, Ship.
ping Is Still Blocked and
Towns Are Cut Off.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW ORLEANS, August 26.-Sev'
eral thousand persons who yesterday
fed from their homes near the Gulf
of Mexico in Louisiana and Texas
prepared to return today, as Weather
Bureau officials predicted that the
tropical hurricane, which came roar.
ing out of the Gulf yesterday, would
spend it's force about 100 miles inland.
Louisiana residents today were busy
checking the damage caused by the
storm. Accurate totals were hard to
obtain, because wire communication
was severely curtailed. Houses were
unroofed in some sections and many
trees were uprooted.
Barometers along the coast, which
had been steadily falling for more
than a dozen hours, were rising to-
day. showing that the center of the
storm had passed on. Wind velocity
also continued to decrease in most
sections. Speed of the wind in New
Orleans diminished from a peak of
Is miles an hour last night to %
shortly after midnight. 1t began to
increase, however, about an hour later
and was soon blowing as high as IS
miles an hour. Weather forecasters
were of the opinion that stiff winds
would continue several hours
a 6O-mlle gale was raging in Nor
gan City and inches of rain had
fallen there when communication with
that town from New Orleans became
impossible last night. Several houses
had been damaged, the roofs of some
being lifted, before the wires to Nor
gan City were crippled.
Meanwhile, reports from the mouth
OF the Mississippi River told of the
barometer rising. Tides there and at
other points along the coast were
falling. However, shipping remained
virtually at standstill. Apprehen-
sion was felt among coast residents
for the safety of numerous fishermen
who left Biloxi yesterday for the
Louisiana marshes.
More than a score Of minor fires
were reported here last night. Serv.
Ice on the lines of the Texas Pacific
Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads were still hampered today by
high winds which made 1t unsafe to
attempt to move trains across the Mis-
sissippi River here aboard ferry boats.
Five trains were delayed for the same
reason last night.
A workman was fatally injured last
night at Ship Island, Miss, when he
was struck by wire charged with
electricity. No other serious injuries
were reported.

FOUR BIDS RENDERED :. AT JUNEAU 3. p. ROAD OFFICE O|v PROJECTS SEEMS & CARLSON BID s1os,se ON MOOSE PASS ROAD; HIGHER
 THAN EXPECTED WILL BE DONE BY DAY LABOR Will Not Call for Bids Again Owing To Short Period Time Avail
 able to Work.
WILL BE DONE BY DAY LABOR

Bids on four Alaskan road con struction projects aggregating over $350,000 were opened at Juneau las week by M. D. Williams, assistant district engineer, U. s. Bureau of Public Roads All four of the ten ders were submitted by Seims & Carl son, Spokane contractors who have been building roads in the Territory for several years.
 The bidder was represented by C. A. Carlson, president and senior mem Der of the firm
 Awards One Contract.
 The four projects covered by the bids were: MendenhaI Loop and bridge, Glacier Highway; Saxman- Mountain Point section, Tongass Highway, Ketchikan; Salmon River Highway, Hyder: Hope-Sunrise sec tion on the Moose Pass route on The Alaska Railroad.
 MT. Carlson's bid on the Saxman- Mountain Point job was S1O7,313.50. MT. Williams announced that this would be accepted.
 The bid on the Salmon River pro- ject was $124,O0O, some 25 per cent higher than the Bureaus estimates. That on the Moose Pass job was S102,S90, more than S10,OO0 above the Bureaus estimates. It was intimated that both tenders were considered too high and that the Bureau would recommend that the work on both be done by day labor under the Bureaus own supervision. It is too late in the season, MT. Williams said, to re-adver- tise the work as it would take from 30 to 40 days to accomplish this, and, although it were possible that lower bids might be rendered, it would then be too late in the year to do any work this year.
 Bridge Is Undecided.
 The bid for the Mendenhall Loop and bridge was still up in the air this morning. MT. Carlson bid $1S,0OO for the completed job, which was slightly in excess of the Bureaus total figure. his figures on the bridge
Seward daily gateway., 1926-05-19

were considerably in excess of the es- inmates furnished by the Portland bridge engineers office. MT. Carlson said this was accounted for by the diff ference in estimates of the quantity of lumber submitted by himself and as figured by the engineers. This will be checked up. and if it is found that the estimates used by MT. Carlson are correct, it is possible he will be award ed the contract.

HONGKONG, November 16.-The
British steamer Summing was boarded

fired by the boarders, but saved from
destruction by the arrival alongside
Of the British gunboat Bluebell, it was
learned here today.
The Summing was on its way here
from Annoy, out of Shanghai. The
Bluebell sighted the Summing in dis
tress, her upper works afire. The
blaze was subdued and a salvage tug
was sent to her assistance. Owing
to damage to the Sunning's wireless,
details of the pirates activity and loss
to the ship itself are unavailable here.
1t is reported one person aboard
her, the chief officer, was wounded and
that two European passengers had
been kidnapped by the pirates. The
buccaneers escaped in their smaller
boat and are being hunted by the
Bluebell.
The coastwise steamers Kaying and
Suiyard are standing by.
This is the second case of piracy
reported near here in the last week.
The French steamer Hanoi was seized
by pirates at Kwangchouwan, south of
here, according to a marine report
November II, and was looted of $4,000
in bullion and 10000 was taken from
its passengers. A guard was shot
to death for resisting the 26 men who
swarmed over the rails.

M0tOrmeter Fluid
Can Be Easily
Collected

IL is common opinion that the
proper way to collect the fluid
in the indicating tube of the
motometer, if it becomes sep
arated. is to stick the stem of
the instrument in boiling water.
This Is an erroneous opinion, as
it will never gather the fluid.
The fluid is separated due to
the fact that the instrument
was left lying on its side, and
air bubbles formed, separating
the LIQUID. 1t remains separated
when the instrument is put in
an upright position until it is
restored to perfect working
order.
This is correctly accomplished
BY holding the mOtometer in an
upright position, and quickly
tapping the bottom of the Inc
strument on the spare tire Of
the car until the liquid is gath
cred. Care should be taken not
to use undue force, as it will not
help the liquid and is liable to
damage the instrument.
