Pershins Believes Them Integral

Washington, Jah. Pl-Gcneral
Pershing believes that the organ
lied army reserve officers constitute
an integral part OF the first AIDE

country has ever had"
The views of the former general

the reserve officers association Of
the United States before the house

General Pershing addressed to the
association.

of illuminating gas. its uses and de-
tails connected with different types
of gas were explained by Alex II.

gineer for the New Britain Gas Co.,
at the meeting OF the Rotary club
at noon today.
Mr.. Scott explained the principal
kinds Of gas and how they are OBJ

getting the product of gas manu-
factu1ies to the consumer, pointing
out that the company must stand
ready to supply instantaneous serv-
ice in any amount and without no.
tice at any time of the day or night.
Just before noon on a summer day,
he said, the demand for gas in this
city increases 40 times.

tanned in Juneau and with crew
of men Capt. Fink began work.
The first two or three descents
to the bottom where the Islander
was supposed to lay were fruit
less. But persistence was finally
rewarded and Capt. Fink brought
parts of the wreck to the sur
face to prove that he had dis
covered the treasure-laden vessel
in over 100 feet of water.
AS plans were being shaped for
the attempt to raise the ship
Capt. Fink broke his arm. The
injury took him and his son to
Seattle where he failed to regain
the use of the arm. The Captain
tried to interest capital to carry
on the salvage operations of the
Islander, but met with no sue
cess.
1t is understood that the APP
paratus that is to be used By
the men in the latest talked OF
attempt at salvage is similar in
construction and operation 10
that used by Capt. Fink 25 years
ago. The outfit consists princi-
pally of heavy steel shell, cylin-
drical in shape and designed to
Withstand several thousand
pounds of water pressure. The
device is provided with thick
plate glass ports that enable the
operator inside, with the aid Of
powerful lights, to see for some
distance when under water. Com
pressed air is contained within
the casing for the diver who is
able to attach lines and do other
under water work by the aid of
mechanical levers and arms that
are on the outside controlled
from within. The device is rails
cd and lowered with lines from
The mother ship.
Similar salvage operations have
met with complete success in the
past and the proposed recovering
of the gold in the Islander is not
IS far fetched as it appears at
first hearing.

TALKED OF SALVAGE
RECALLS PAST TRY
FOR ISLANDER GOLD

Stories recently printed in The
Empire saying that deep sea div
ing experts would attempt to re-
cover the gold that was lost when
the Canadian steamer Islander
sank, have caused people to re-
call that an attempt was made
to recover the valuable gold dust
and bullion in 1904 and may
have been successful had not
Capt. Fink, who was undertaking
the operations, been injured when
exploring the wreck of the steam
Ter as it lay en- the bottom.
Casualty records on file in the
local Customs House do not state
the value of the gold that was
aboard the Islander when she
went down between Admiralty
Island and the lower end of
Douglas Island after striking
partly submerged ice at o'clock
on the morning Of August 15,
1901. The records state that the
ship sank in from 16 to 20 min
! utes after striking; 100 passen-
gers were aboard at the time and
80 were lost

Texas is proud Of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of
Texas-of its fertile soil, It's huge irrigation systems,

schools-is proud OF its climate and its unlimited OPP

But not all Texans are acquainted with the Valley
1t is to educate some of these that John T.. Flore,
manager of the Valley Mid Winter Fair at Harrington
has decided that the Valley will be represented at the
Texas State Fair in Dallas this year.
Many Texans will attend the fair in Dallas who
never have visited the Valley. An attractive exhibit
will excite their interest and arouse a desire to see
this section OF their great state, Mr.. Floore argues.
Also. he points out. California and Florida will be
renresented with exhibits. The Valley can and will
make an interesting an exhibit Of her wares as either
