"A party! What for?"
"Why-just for fun" faltered
Constance.

l Charles Olson died at the Pioneers Home Hospital on June 26ti. MT.
 Olson was born in Norway in 1856.
 He came to Alaska in 1862 and set ilted down in Wrangell where he was
 engaged in fishing. He later went !, to Petersburg where he resided up
 until he was admitted into the Pio-
 neers Home. He leaves a brother, i in Minnesota, who is the only known
 relative. He was buried in the Pio-
 neer's Home Cemetary, with Rev.
 Wallace Marble officiating at the grave.
 i Shortly before docking at Ketchi- kan recently, officers aboard the steamship Prince Rupert discovered William Bridges, 31, among the pas jsengers. This. in itself, is not out 'of the ordinary, but Bridges, it ap- peared, did not go through the regu- lar formality of purchasing ticket and he was immediately tucked away in the vessels jail as a stowaway. Bridges told the officers he boarded the ship at Prince Rupert with the idea that the ship was southbound. His destination was Vancouver. How ever, his timetable was somewhat mixed and an hour after sailing he found he was due for a long ride, as far north as Skagway. He will be kept in the ships jail until it re- turns to Prince Rupert.

From the outside, each of these new articu-
lated trains looks like two long cars. Ac-
tually, each train is one very long unit, con-
sisting Of two car bodies mounted on three
trucks instead of four. This means that
noise, vibration, and the tendency Of trains
to sway when in rapid motion, are reduced
to an absolute minimum. It means, also,
that you can walk from one car to another
in complete safety, steadiness and comfort,
with no doors to open and no drafty, dusty
vestibules to lurch through.

In each Of these tWo-car trains, one car is

Another feature, which applies to each car,
is the electric heating system, encased in
