Cold Storage Make
 Shipment of Fish

The motorship Bellingham loaded on frozen fish, mostly halfbut, at the New England Fisheries Dock and departed Seattle way on the 18th, E The Bellingham has something of a history as all of the older packets have. For long time she steamed the waters between Bellingham and Seattle and touched at all interme- dfate points. Later the Alaska Steamship Company purchased her and, thusly, she became the founda- t1on of the big fleet of fine ships that now sail under that company's flag. Today she's a cold storage vessel under oil engines with steam driven winches and she carries the honor of the forerunner of an ocean line of steamships with no outward show of pride nor aloofnsss.

Getting Ready For
 Spring Operations

Bud Hungerford and Frank Ro
 sich, on the Reliance, arrived ir from Three Mile Arm a few days ago with their two logging outfits in tow. One of the logging machines is a relic of "Johnny-the Jap's" for est adventures an was at one time a steam irg. The Hungerford Bros, and Rosich aim to remove the steam generating part of the ma chine and install in the place there of a gasoline engine of 30 to 40 horsepower. This engine will be connected to the gearing that is a part of the original machine. It is a winters job and while the change is being made the boys will rebuild the roadway leading from the streets to the Citizens dock
 For this work they'll use the log
 float driver of John Sales and their own gas engine. The repair work on the roadway will commence as soon as the driver is overhauled.

The barges cargo of parts for the dredge is reported as undamaged. Howev, CT, an endeavor will be made to lighter the cargo and the stranded barge will be taken off On the next tidal increase. The barge is dam aged more or less, but it is thought from surveys made of the vessel, that she may be fioated readily enough once the tides are larger. The Porsper handled the dredge successfully and reached the Narrows in good condition.

 Hans Wick, City Marshal, report ed that the water main near Enge' s had broken and about 50 feet need ed to be replaced. He was autho- rized to install the necessary amount immediately.
 Communication was read from Chas. H. Flory of the Forest Ser vice calling attention to the fact that it would be necessary to make an application with the Federal Power Commission for a license for the new unit at Blind Slough. IL was the opinion of the members of the Council that this would not be necessary as the new unit would not increase the capacity of the plant The clerk was instructed to explain the matter to the Forest Service.
 A petition signed by certain res idents in the vicinity of Skylark creek asking for a street to be laid out extending from the Scow Bay road to the property of Jack Olsen was submitted by Olsen. MT. Olsen stated that if the city would lay out the street, making the bound |ary, the property owners benefited by it would construct the street and pay all costs.

Anticipation With.
 Out Joy

George Kim, Oriental owner and proprietor of the Alaska Cafe roams the streets disconsolately and in wo- ful anticipation Some time back a raid was made On the Cafe by U. S. Deputy Marshal Brown and City Chief of Police Hans Wick and the invaders dug up several mugsful of unclassified moon. Kim has a hear ing coming off on the 24th and he is wondering where the ax will hit him and how hard.
 No one likes to see any one ill distress. All of us have our short comings and it stands even the bet ter of us hand to be careful where we toss our pebbles. But MT Kim is muchly to blame for his pre- sent worries. Orientals are cute and crafty folk as a rule Kim is an exception. He lacked tact ano he paid small heed to complaints made about the squaks and booze laden ribaldry that frequently drift ed out through his restaurant doors There is a house of religion close by the Alaska Cafe and the leaders of the former didn't like the fus: Kim and his friends scattered around, and as Kim didn't read al he ran, he's in trouble. He ha' tackled up the doors and window of his eating house and, for the pre- sent at least, is doing no cooking nor serving any meals.

The Council met in regular ses- sion at the Town Hall On Monday evening, October IF, at 7:3O with Mayor Samson presiding.
 J. l.. MacKechnie, City Elec- trician, reported that the recent breakdown of the transmission line was caused by falling trees which had stripped about 15 poles break ing cross arms and insulators. On account of the phone line being broken in several places it was necessary to go to the plant after repairing the line which caused further delay.
 J. L. MacKechnie informed the council that the light plant could no longer furnish service to the sawmills as the city load was now almost up the full capacity of the plant and that he had applications for 64~more K. w. of air heaters He also called attention to the fact that the sawmill load was n heavy strain on the plant and if continued on the line might cause damage to the plant. He stated that he had notified both mills that they could not expect to be served after the first of the year but recommended that one of them be discontinued immediately as he could not make any further con- nections in the city. He recon mended that the saw mill at Scow Bay be disconnected first and that he could probably carry the other to the first of the year.
 A discussion followed as to wheth- CT the Scow Bay mill could ba carried if it were fused so that it could not use more power than the h. D. capacity of it's motor and if it could be operated if limited t. that amount A motion was carri ed that the Scow Bay sawmill be limited to the h. p. capacity of the motor and fused accordingly, and that if it then continued to tax the

Chris Tveten, through whom the coal was handled, was feeling pretty cocky about it, and when some one asked why he was strutting around with chin so high in the air, Chris re- piled: Since I'm connected with the coaling of the U. 8.

Shrimp Canney Resmrects
 Old Reliable Steam Engine

The other day, when the recent storm was still in truculent mood and the electric energy of Blind Slough was conspicuous in it's ab- sence, Earl Dinner had around $500. worth of shrimp meat that was due for Spoilville if he couldn't get pow CT to seal the cans Along in the evening, when it was reported that there'd be no power until the next day afternoon, Dinner fell back on his little steam engine. This ma chine had done nobly in the embryo days of the shrimp industry, but it had been standing, like a wart on a cucumber, for many moons with no more attention paid to it than you might give a mist cloud on MitkOff. So the machine was drained of cold condensation and a mite of live steam administered There was a wheeze. a groan and then half re- volution. Nothing more, even af- ter a lot of coaXing. Dinner con- sidered. A gas engineer wouldn't likely know what the ailment was, there wasn't a veterinarian to be had for love nor lucre and Dr. Jones couldn't X-ray through steel and cast iron. It looked gloomy, in deed Finally it was decided that ; a post mortem would be the proper caper in order to learn just whether there was floating kidney or just dunn stubbornness was the matter. Removal of the steamchest bOnnets revealed serious cardiac affection
 The engine valve had freed itself from it's stem and lodged in the upper end of the steamchest, block . ed the top cylinder port and allowed steam ingress to only the neither portion of the power space. It did n't take long to readjust the mech anism nor to reassemble the engine parts, and when the old standby was given another shot of hot vapor it went over and over on it's merry way so fast that it made the seam ing machine dizzy and whirled the tops off the cans. Inside of an hour the cans were sealed and in the ice room and the shrimp meat was rest ing easily instead of fomenting gas bubbles of decomposition.

Chamber Of Commerce Appoints
 Committee Herring Fisheries

At the regular weekly dinner meeting of the local Commercial Club held in the private dining room of the Grand Cafe com muication was read from the Ket- chikan Commercial Club relative to their willingness to support the movement instigated by our club in regard to the herring situation. The letter stated that they would be glad to send representatives to Petersburg to confer with those from the other southeastern Alaska towns.
 Earl Dinner, Fred Nelson and Sam Gauf1n, were appointed to con fer with the herring fishermen re- lative to recommendation bearing upon legislature in the matter of the kinds and size of mesh of seines and nets for taking herring for commercial and bait purposes. This committee will make it's recom- mendations at the next meeting for adoption by the club
 Ma action seems to have been taken at Juneau in regard to tha matter, but it was learned that two of the members on the com mittee were directly interested in herring fertilization plants, hence the delay. However new com mittee has been appoined by the club and it is believed favorable action will soon be taken.
 A vote of thanks and apprecia- tion was passed and the secretary was instructed to so write to the officials of the Alaska Steamship Company who were responsible for routing one of their northbound vessels to Petersburg each month. It was also announced that the Yukon will call southbound this trip.
 The club learned that the en- gineering crew will soon begin to survey for the road extension from Scow Bay to Mountain Point, a dis tance of about miles. From this. the club is led to believe that this much at least of our contemplated extension to Blind Slough will be accomplished next year.
 A resolution of thanks was pass ed and the secretary authorized to so write the proper authorities at
 Juneau in appreciation for their de-
 cision in this matter.
 A communication from the Sec
 retary of the National Chamber of
 Commerce setting forth arguments
 pro and con relative to the adoption
 or rejection of certain matters to
 be decided by the National Chamber
 will have the opportunity to vote
 upon these questions. This will be
 taken up at the next meeting.

BY MARCH /, '2S
Plans FOR Liberal Arts Struc.
ture VIII Be Ready January
Ito Let Contracts

Construction Of the new liberal
arts building at the University Of
North Dakota will begin about
March l, 1928, and the structure will
be ready for occupancy by the fol-
lowing September, according to
present plans Of the state board Of
administration.
Plans for the building will be
ready January l, according to r. B.
Murphy, board chairman, and bids
will be asked about February /. It
is planned to cover the proposed site
of the building with straw this fall
so that the ground will not freeze
deeply and it will be- possible to
commence work on the excavation
early next year.
The board plans to hold the cost
Of the building within the $225 900
appropriation made by the legisla-
ture at the last session. 1t will be
as large in dimensions, however, as
building costing 100000 more.
The reason is that the board does
not propose to finish the interior un-
til more funds are available.
Early in the year the board raised
the question Of whether it would be
better to contract for q building
larger than could be built with the
existing appropriation and then ask
the legislature for additional money,
or erect completed structure with
the funds available. The decision to
build a large structure and to use
it in its unfinished state represents
a compromise.
The proposed building probably
will meet the needs of the University
for classroom space for 10 to IL
years to come, according to the
boards estimates. At the same
time it will be cheaper to build and
operate, figuring on the cost Of
erection and maintenance on cubic
foot basis.
The building will be used FOL
classroom purposes as soon as it Is
completed and the interior finish will
await additional funds. This ar
rangement, Murphy said, will permit
abandonment Of the temporary fibre.
board shack now in use for class
room purposes. University officials
agreed that the plan adopted was the
best obtainable under the circum
stances, he said.
