MAIL CARRIER CARRIED
 OUT TO SEA ON ICE

i Considerable excitement was aroused over the receipt of news that the last incoming mail team had drifted out to sea on the ice near Bluff. The Nugget in an in- terview with Peter Curran. the mall contractor. stated that his son Pete who was driving the mali team be- tween Golovin and Solomon. finding the trails obliterated and showed over to depth of from two to three feet of fresh soft snow. de- ,cided to take to the ice along the shore of Bering Sea instead of attempting to break trail over the side hills which at this point was next to impossible.
 Accompanying the mail team. was another dog team which was being driven by John Fagerstrom. who was conveying his wife end two young ch'lir"n from Go vn to Solomon. where Fagerstrom' wife was going to visit her parents Mir. and Mrs. Peter Curran.
 Both teams took the sea Ice nesr Bluff and after travelling a consider able distance headed for shore only to find that they were marconed by open water extending along the beach. It was getting quite dark and fearing that 1t was unsafe to attempt going ashore. they found to their dismay that the ice upon which they wera travelling, was drifting to the westward.
 They then drove their teams further out on the Ice and decided to settle down for the night and wait for daylight before making any further attempt. Both mush- CTS were nearly exhausted from journeying through the deep snow and bucking the storm. After mak ling Mrs. Fagerstrom and the two children comfortable in sleeping bag, the men took short catnaps one staying on guard while the other sleep.
 They were compelled to stay on he floating ice pack for over ten hours before finally finding a place where the ice came together near Spruce creek During the time the party were maroOned. word flashed up and down the coast and several natives and some white men had organized relief party. Arriving at Solomon little later the party were found to he very hungry and tired and after a good meal Were put to bed, none the worse for their experience. The mother and her two little children came thru the ordeal without any frost bites and much rejoicing followed when they were greeted by their fond parents.
 As the U S. mail was somewhat delayed thereby. Contractor Currar started the mail on to Nome but owing to the impossible trails de cided to stop at Cape Nome road house for the night. Word was telephOned to Nome for fresh dog team and Frank Martin, the loca fur dealer. started out at { A. M Tuesday with 21 dogs. After g short rest and something to eat the mail was transferred to Mar tin who brought 1t to Nome. arriv ing here about 6 P. M. the same , day. pl0ughing through snow, waist deep near the whole distance. Mir Curran also accompanied MT. Mar tin to town. The next morning the |outgoing mail was dispatched tC Cape Nome on time. with fresh driver.

October has, to the youthful mind,
at least, two very important days
Columbus Day on the 18th and Hal
lowe'en. The first offers extensive
possibilities for entertainment. For
children and grown-ups too, an EEK
plorer's party is most amusing.
Each guest may be asked to dress
to represent his favorite explorer and
to wear the characters name on a
slip of paper pinned to the back of
the coat. This will provide the basis
for a jolly get acquainted" game.
Everyone is given a paper and pen
ell and asked to make list of the ex-
plorers at the party. These lists are
compiled from the Identification slips
on the backs of the participants. Each
one, however, is to be as careful as
possible not to allow the others to see
his name. A prize may be awarded
for the longest list.
Ship Model for Table Centerpiece
The table at which the refresh
ments are served might have as a
eenterpiece ship model-either one
which you have had or one which you
can manufacture out of cardboard,
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1927-09-29

muslin and varnish especially for the
oceasion-and for place cards painted
sailing vessels.
The menu might consist of Treas
ure Island salad, American sand
wiches, North Pole sundaes and
African delights. The salad is made
of slice of pineapple with piece
of celery standing upright in the CEN
ter and piercing a thin slice of bread.
Of course, this as you can readily see,
represents raft with sail and the
lettuce, the water.
American sandwiches are made like
ribbon sandwiches with alternate lay
ers of cream cheese tinted red and
blue.
North Pole sundaes are vanilla ice
cream with marshmallow sauce.
The African delights are tiny
squares of cake frosted with choco-
late.
This party may be changed to suit
your own desires but is effective
handled almost any way.

"a. P. E. says: q have an old
type regenerative set, of the single
circuit type, which oscillates rather
easily and causes some interference
about the neighborhood. Will it elimi-
nate this interference if connect the
antenna and ground to loosely
coupled primary instead of to the in
duetance as it is now used?"
Ans.-As long as the circuit oscll-
lates it will radiate, although the
loose coupling will reduce the inter-
ference little. The best thing would
be to do as you suggest, and in add
ton, use sufficient care in tuning so
as to never allow the set the break
into oscillation.

Sugar Beet Harvest Gets
Underway In Laurel-Park CITY Area

Pleasant weather greeted the open
ing of the 1927 sugar beet harvest
the week beginning September 20,
when receiving stations of the district
were opened for business. Tests of
sugar content have been satisfactory
from majority of samples so far
taken. While the average tonnage may
prove to be slightly less than last
year this is more than offset by in
creased acreage in the Laurel-Park
City district.

Inventor of First Bicycle
Is Resident of Laurel


1t was DR.. J. D. Rhoades who first
created in little Ohio town the first
two wheeled contraption. The novel
creation had two wheels, mounted on
a light frame, one wheel behind the
other and propelled by peddles which
the rider operated. The patent office
at Washington upon inquiry from Dr.
Rhodes advised that nothing like his
creation had ever been filed for
patenting. A patent was later grant
ed to an inventor whose device was
the high wheeler type. The next ar
rival was it's counterpart of DR..
Rhoades' invention, the two wheeled
creation.

Indians Say All Signs
Indicate Hard Winter

The coming winter will be hard
one, and all young men of the Chey-
enne tribe are warned to look after
their hay supply before it is too late.
This is the edict of the old men of
the tribe who are able to read the
signs in the grass, as was done by
the plains Indians in early days. AL
though the art of weather prognos-
tication and rain-making have long
since fallen into disrepute among the
Cheyennes, there are still few of the
older men, Iron Shirt, Bobtail Horse,
Wolf Chief and few others, who adj
vance opinions on coming weather
conditions.

"Where two different groups or in
terests use the same transmitting
equipment, each interest may have its
own studio, thus securing all the
prestige of an individual station. In
dividual call letters may be obtained
by the one or more tenants upon ap-
p1cation."
The letter also points out the fact
that in the interest of the public the
commission is unanimous in its atti-
tude of discouraging in every way
possible, the construction of additional
stations in territories which are al
ready served with radio.

Commission Make Rec lamentations
and Continues Short
Term Licenses

According to FEDERAL Radio Com
missioner Henry A. Bellows, long
period licenses vii aa5 be issued to
broadcasting stat.sas for some time
to come. When IL rzasent licenses
expire on October Is. new licenses for
60 days will be issuel Itch in turn
will expire on December 5. Then,
again, 60 day licenses VII be issued.
According to Mr.. Bellows, the idea
is to prevent the situatiea from be-
coming frozen to the point where the
commission cannot step in and make
whatever changes seem desirable as a
result of changing conditions.
If for any reason the present allo-
cations should prove unsatisfactory,
the commission would be in a posi-
ton to figure out a new scheme and
put it into effect without the COM
plications that would be bound to re-
suit if three-year licenses were grant
ed.
In the meantime consolidation is
being recommended as a means of
preventing an increase in the number
of broadcasting stations. This idea
has been made public in a form letter
by the federal radio commission. APP
plicants for licenses are encouraged
to effect combines with broadeasters
now operating either by buying time
OF part interest in stations. No new
licenses will be issued for the time
being until experience has shown
that the new location is fully ade-
quate for the present stations ac-
cording to the letter

A battery the electrolyte seems to
come out of the top in a very fine
spray and has slowly ruined a rug.
AS I cannot keep the covers on the
cells when charging how can this
trouble be preYented?"
Ans.-The spray probably comes
from bursting bubbles at the surface
of the electrolyte. These bubbles are
not bad until the battery is pretty
well charged. It may be that you are
charging the battery too long or at
too high rate. 1t is well to keep the
covers on the openings of the cells
they should not be fastened
down.
