 Increased traveI and heavier freight movement, occasioned ty the recent mineral strikes on the British Columbia side of the boun- diary make the opening of the sta tion advisable, it was said While it is listed as temporary station it will be continued as long as the conditions of traffic warrant. The develScment programs of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany and the United Eastern on the Big Bull Group and the Eaton property respectively entail the shipment of considerable quantities of equipment and supplies. These companies, in order to insure nc break in their transportation service are establishing barge and store house at the rivers mouth where a storage can be maintained il necessary.

Landlord Pilots Plane
 In Air Though Blind

NARROW, OkIa, July 29.-"Fly- ing blind" has it's most literal meaning in the case of George w. Carter, 32-year-old Marlow pilot.
 Other aviators "fly blind" in storms or fogs, but Carter must do so all the time. He has been sight less since he was 15 years old.
 With the aid of his co-pilot, Don Clayton, Carter flies his own planes and flies them well. He can take off and maneuver ships in the air without difficulty and calls on Clayton to take the controls when he wants to land.

HEART ATTACK CARRIES OFF
 GOV. STRONG
Former Governor of Alaska Passes Away at Seattle
 Saturday Night

Associated Press dispatches bring the news of the sudden death of John F. A. Strong. Governor of Alaska from 1913 to 1918 and pioneer Alaska newspaperman, at Seattle Saturday night of heart attack. He had been in i'll health about one year.
 Former Gov. Strong came to AL aska in 1897 and was employed for about one year on the Skagway News when he went to Dawson. He was employed for a time on the Dawson News and went from there to Nome where he was as sociated in the establishment of the Nome News and later founded the Nome Nugget. After leaving Nome he travelled for a while and then established the Katalla Her ald. This he ran for about two years when he established paper at Greenwater, California, and ran it for a time before selling out. His next venture was the Iditarod Nugget, which he ran for year or two.
 After travelling for a time in Europe, he founded The Empire in the fall of 1912 A little more than a year later he sold The Empire to the Empire Printing Company, and finally retired from journalism. He was appointed Gov crnor of Alaska in the spring of 1913 and served for five years In 1917 his name was sent to the Senate for the second term, but that body adjourned without acting on it and in 1918 President Wilson appointed Thomas Riggs to the position. MT. Strong then travelled in South America and elsewhere and later settled at Los Angeles For the last several years he has spent his winters in Southern Cali tornia and his summers in Seattle.
 While at Nome MT. Strong was one of the organizers of the Pioneers of Alaska and he served while there as Arctic Chief of the Arctic Brotherhood.
 He engaged in mining at Daw- son for a time without success.
 Before coming to Alaska MT. Strong was engaged in newspaper work at Victoria, B. C., Belling- ot ious times. He was editor of the Bellingham Independent in 1892. For a time he was on the Seattle Telegraph and was telegraph editor and editorial writer on the Tacoma Ledger.
 MT. Strong was married to Miss Anna Hall in Seattle in 1896 and she survives him. She accompan- jed him to Alaska and always worked with him in his newspaper ventures They accumulated mod est fortune in Alaska and, it is understood, have increased it con- sideably by wise investments since leaving here.
 MT. Strong was called Major" by his friends before he served as Governor of Alaska. Since that time he has been known as Gov ner." He was native of Ihorne- town, New Brunswick, where he was born in 1859. He was educated in a normal school at Fredericton, New Brunswick, and in his early years taught school, managed a country store and engaged in news paper work in that Province. He came west in the middle eighties, and after living at Butte for a time he came to Puget Sound, where. as said. he lived at Victoria, B. C., Bellingham, Seattle and Tacoma.

Cavite. These static reports are plotted against the weather maps, with a view to determining what association there is between high and low and changing pressures to various static conditions"
 Lieutenant Kincaid said that the Photographic office, cooperating with the bureau of aeronautics and the bureau of engineering of the navy, is manufacturing instruments which will automatically record the direction and intensity of static.
 Soundings of the upper air are made by releasing balloons which are spotted with sextant. By keep ing check on the speed and course of the ship it is possible to figure accurately the velocity of the air currents and the exact height of cloud formations.

atively few men, those operating
school buses, it would meet with
my hearty approval to have all
school bus operators invited to re-
port for re-examination of their
eyesight, hearing, physical fitness
and mechanical aptness and ability
to carefully drive a conveyance for
the transportation of children. For
further assurance that those en-
gagged to drive for the schools are
entirely fit and competent to con-
tinue their work, there might, it
seems to me, properly be inaugu-
rated a systematic check by the
State Police upon the condition of
the buses in use, particularly the
brakes. l trust tht this sugges-
tion may appeal to you as suffic-
iently important to arrange for a
conference of the heads of the
three departments, and that you
will later advise me of the conclu-
sions you reach in the matter. "
Very truly yours, c. D. Buck, Gov
ernor.

USES HIS AUTO TO KILL RATS
But Monoxide Gas Almost Proved
the Undoing of Himself and Helper

w. f. Bartlett, living at Trappe,
Md, nine miles from Easton, Md,
had trying experience recently
in trying to exterminate the rats
in his feed house. He had heard
much about the deadly fumes of
monoxide gas, and after closing
the doors and windows of the feed
house as tight as he could he ran
pipe under the flooring from his
auto and started the motor. Af-
ter running for some time the
windows and doors were opened
and a negro entered to begin tear
ing up the flooring. A few boards
only were loosened when the negro
fell over. Mr.. Bartlett hurried to
his rescue and carried him out un-
der a tree. The negro finally re-
gained consciousness. Mr.. Bart
lett also suffered from the effects
of the gas which had been pocket
ed under the flooring A large
number of rats were killed and a
new flooring laid later.

JAIL BREAKERS UNDER BAIL
William Townsend Gave Himself
Up in Sussex County

William Townsend, "a years old,
of near Clarksville, Sussex county,
was placed under $4,000 bail when
given a hearing: before U. Soon
missioner Albert F. Polk, on last
Saturday afternoon in the Federal
Building, Wilmington. Townsend
who was arrested by Federal
agents operating under Director G
A. Hill, on September 2t8h, was
charged with the sale and posses
sion of Intoxicating liquor. He was
arrested Saturday, September %,
and on Sunday morning escaped
from the Jail at Dover. At the
time of his arrest, a negro started
to break out of Jail, and during the
excitement, while the sheriff of the
Jail was subduing the negro, Town
send slipped out of the jail.
Clarksville is near Bethany Beach,
and although Townsend is said to
have been staying in that section
since his escape, officers were un-
able to locate him. He gave him
self up to James M. Tunnel, at
torney of Georgetown, who repre-
sented him Saturday and Mr.. Tun-
nell turned him over to Deputy
Marshal Harry B. Krauss on Sat
urday. Bail was furnished and
Townsend returned to Sussex, Sat

At Flint, Michigan, so picked
youths between the ages of 16 and
10 years will soon begin an educa-
tional course in which books will
be conspicuous because of their to-
tai absence. They will attend
class in overalls, and drafting
boards, micrometers, wrenches and
screw drivers will take the place of
fountain pens, plackboards and
note books. Salaries will supplant
credits in this the worlds most
novel educational plant. 1t will be
an institution endowed by Chevro-
let Motor Company, and its facul-
ty will be composed of hard-head-
ed production men with years of
factory experience. At the head
of the school will be G. F. Barth,
vice president in charge of manu-
featuring, one of whose life dreams
will be realized when the first class
is held. Here it might be well to
explain that this unique training
place is not a school. The word
school" is one which Mr. Barth
wants permanently dissociated
from this newest Chevrolet under
taking. 1t is definitely a shop, op-
Grated under shop discipline, and
maintaining shop hours. 1t is to
be known officially as the Chevro-
let Apprentice Shop. There will
be many features to this novel
training place, but it is doubtful if
any are more interesting or more
significant than the reason for its
conception. And no one can make
this more clear than Mr.. Barth,
himself. ''The Apprentice Shop is
actually a necessity" he told his
visitor last week. Chevrolet Mo
tor Company, like all other large
manufacturers has for several
years past noted a decrease in good
all around mechanics When the
automobile industry started there
was no such shortage. The found
ers of the industry were themselv-
es super mechanics, and in every
instance they surrounded them
selves with competent all around
men. The opportunities for train
ing men in the early days were rel
atively easy. Shop forces were
much smaller and every ambitious
worker had the opportunity of
working at as many jobs as he
chose.
