The Cub Reporter shifted his
position ~uneasily.
What wiuld you like to know
about?" he asked.
We'll. tell me about your biggest
attraction. The thing you value
most. Your greatest asset"
That Is entirely a point OF view.
If you we're a farmer. the most i'm
portant thing to you would be the
fertility of the soil and the absence
of disastrous freezes. II you were
merely a tourist, 1t would be the
mild and pleasant climate and the
beauty Of the tropical flora and
fauna II you were a sportsman.
the biggest thing the Valley could
offer you would be the excellent
fishing at the bay at Point Isabel.
and the hunting. Our biggest asset.
OF course. is the thing that attracts
visitors and investors"
Valley Owns a Climate
Absolutely correct. I'll ask you
a few pointed questions. First.
what about the climate?"
what about it?"
"Well does IL ever freeze here?"
Rarely, yes. W.T. had a freeze
this year. but Wien I say this is
unusual don't laugh behind your
hand. Because it's the truth.
When the thermometer drops to 80
degrees down here, the citizens get
out their topcoats and start saying
that g. here is equivalent to II in
the north. They say it feels as cold.
In a way. 1t does. because they have
not had time to become acclimated.
and the sudden change is felt Sc
verely. But the plants do not suf-
fer much. And the freeze passes
rapidly and is forgotten"
What is the lowest the tempera-
ture has ever dropped?"
"On Feb. 20. 1899. ii got as low
es IL degrees. ice formed on cac-
tuS and mesquite. coyotes whimp-
cred. deer ran madly to keep warm.

end Of the world was in sight. and

tory as a black mark against the
Valley. The next lowest was Is

The tourist nodded approvingly.
That's more like it. Now, what

DEVICE IS SAID TO ELIMINATE
 CARBON MONOXIDE IN GARAGES

BALTIMORE, Jan 16--A practi- cal means of eliminating carbon monoxide, the gas that takes an an- nual toll of hundreds of lives when automobile engines are left running in closed garages, is re- ported in the discovery of a Johns Hopkins University professor.
 pr. J. C. w. Frazer, professor of chemistry at the university, made the announcement that tests had shown motor equipped with his device could run indefinitely in a closed garage without lberating carbon monoxide. Offensive odors from automobile exhausts, which abound in heavy traffic, can be suppressed by the chemical action. and smoke also will be entirely con- sumed, Professor Frazer added.

 Whether or not MT. Grigsby will have opposition for the Democratic nomination is not known. One thing is certain, efforts to get Ter ritorial Senator A. J. Dimond of Cordova to run, have failed. James J. Connors, Democratic National Committee, has received a telegram from Senator Dlmond saying posi- lively that he would not be can didate for the nomination.

Carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion, and the scientists discovery is a chemical catalyst which, when the exhaust vapors pass over it mixed with air converts the monoxide to harmless carbon dioxide. A device to ac- complish this has been made and operated successfully in road tests under all kinds of driving condi- tions, he said. but the present ob- jective is to simplify the apparatus and Professor Frazer believes ac- complishment of this end is in sight.
 Dr. Frazer's discovery resulted in- directly from his work in the chem ical warfare service during the World War to protect operating guns in closed turrets.

 Papers on his desk jiggled as taps )f an emphasizing finger punctu- ated remarks about his now fa- nous statement that the coast guard will not use "amiable ges- lures" in stopping liquor smuggling.
 The Billiard pronouncement, drop ped into the restless sea of con- troversy over prohibition enforce ment, caused widely varying com ment here and brought a new focusing of national attention on the Coast Guard, it's work, and it's men.
 "The Coast Guard is indoctrinat- ed with the idea of doing any job given to it-expeditiously, efficient ly and fairly" Admiral Billiard said.
 Preventing liquor smuggling is the most difficult task that ever has confronted the coast guard, or any sea force, for that matter.

WAREHOUSE AND W \ ARF 60 INTO CAST. CHANNEL
Submarine Landslide Di- rect Cause of s. o. Dis-
 aster, Statement Made
LOSS IS ESTIMATED
 AT ABOUT $60,000
Bank Along Thane High way Caving-in-Wreck-
 age Strewn on Channel

Some violent subterranean disturbance at the bottom of Gastineau Channel was the cause of the collapse of the Standard Oil COmpany's dock and half of the warehouse Wednesday, night about 7:30 o'clock with an estimated loss of $60,000 to the oil company and slight damage to the AL aska Electric Light & Power Company's service wires.
 Part of the Thane highway is dangerously undermined about 150 yards north of the Standard Oil station and the read has been closed to traf- fife temporarily.
 A submarine landslide was the direct cause of the dis aster.
 The first intimation O. the dis aster was received by J. D. Helps, local Manager of the Standard Oil Company, from R. A. Reichel of the Union Oil Company, who heard the noise of the collapse and tele- phoned the news to town. Dan Kausen, fisherman, who lives a short distance north of the Stand ard Oil station, also witnessed the breaking up of the dock and hur- ried to the nearest telephone to summon Martin Jorgensen, an em- ployee of the company.
 Roll Into Channel
 Helps and Jorgensen reached the station before the warehouse col lapsed and began removing the office fixtures and records to a place of safety. Taximan Phil Jolie, who was waiting with his car on the approach to the dock, saw the outer end of the warehouse begin to sink slowly, drums of lubricating oil and gasoline began to roll off into the water
 The bank along the Thane high way was caving in rapidly and one of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company's poles toppled over. interrupting the circuit and causing a big arc when the wire touched the water Jolie drove to the nearest telephone and informed General Superintendent L. H. Metz gar, of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, that the power line across the tailing pile was in danger. The power was then ordered shut off.
 Men Are Summoned
 Men were summoned from town to help salvage the drums and cases of oil which were floating about in the channel Fortunately the disaster occurred at a time when the tide was out, and the greater part of the stock was re- covered. A crew of fifteen or twenty men worked along the beach, carrying case oil and roll ing drums to safety while others in skiffs made fast to floating drums and lowed them ashore. By midnight most of the oil had been salvaged and slowed along the road or on the approach to the dock
