Device improves Engine

An interesting experiment in fishing boat engines was recent y carried out by Ole Johnson of West Minister, E. C., on his hali- but boat. The engine was equip ped with a Buchanan Oil head, a new device which allows use ot luel oil instead of gasoline.
 The conversion was just com pleted when they realized that lnless they move dfrom the eraser River they would be froz- Cn in so they loaded gasoline on toard and struck off for Van couver. They developed 300 re- volutions per minute with the gasoline but with the use of fuel oil developed 325 with a con- sumption of two gallons of fuel oil as compared to three of gaso- line on the thirty-f1ve horse en- zine. Gasoline cost them 22 cents the gallon as compared to 12 cents for fuel oil. It is be- lieved that even greater reduc- ton will be made in fuel con- sumption when the engine has been more closely adjusted.

Will Aid Develop
 Territory

A new era is in sight for Alas ka, that vast Northern Territory of the United States which to the average person has hereto fore suggested only snow and ice and blizzards,, and the hardships endured by the seekers after gold For the first time since this country acquired title to the Territory from Russia a definite program for putting to use the great stretches of Alaskan wild erness and making them access sible to all. is being worked out Dy Secretary of the InttriOr Will bur, with the hearty approval of President Hoover.
 Government officials who have confidence in the future of Alas fa are cooperating with Secre- Jary Wilbur in working out plans. They foresee the time when Alaska will be the home of great numbers of prosperous Americans, instead of only a few thousands as at present. While the details of the program are not yet available, it is understood that the administration cOntem- plates an Alaska every part of which will be linked by airways, and in addition to its trails will have a fine system of roads, A great international scenic high way more than 4,000 miles long, from Fairbanks, Alaska, through a portion of Canada and on to Los Angeles, Calf, is a possib- fifty.

Mooney's Innocence
 No Question

The story was recently pub lished of the death-bed comics sion of one Lewis J. Smith, in which he, not Mooney, hurled the bomb in the San Francisco Preparedness Day Parade.
 Following a letter by Mrs. Do- ra Monroe, sister of Smith, who signed an affidavit alleging that her brother had confessed to her his own guilt, Mooney wrote 9 letter to Senator Schall of Minn., in which he brings out salient facts. The whole matter if Of record now before Congress.
 Mooney claims that Smith is the same man associated with the former German Consul Won Bopp, military attache for the Imperial German government; C. c. Crowley, and private de- tective, a Won Brinken and a Won Schack, all of whom served sen tences in prison in connection with blowing up munition plants ships and other sources of war supplies for the Allied Powers.
 Smith, according to Moneys letter turned states evidence and was pardoned to become the star witness against Von Bopp i'll his trial.
 It was shown that Smith was an expert in the use of explos- ives; that he had recited his crimes committed for the Ger mans and named the jobs, when, where and how committed; testi- Ged to blowing up 14 tons of ex- plosives on a barge in Puget Sound, killing the watchman.
 Smith was the actual dyna- 1niter for the German Consul. He was directed by c. c. Crowley, who was Von Bopp's closeup man and go-betWeen. The Ger nan government hired him out of the Hercules powder plant be- cause of his expert knowledge of explosives and their routing"
