INDEPENDENT OF NATURE
w. @. COSTELLO,
Manager

One of the interesting things about the
process of industriaism is the way in
which men are constantly making them
selves freezer of natural handicaps.
An interesting example is found in the
way in which private industry has taken
a tip from the Navy Department and
devised form of electric power supply
that is not dependent on such natural
forces as a steady supply of running
water.
Some months ago severe drought hit
the state of Washington and reduced the
supply of hydro-electric power available
for the city of Tacoma. By special ar
rangement with the navy, the giant air
craft carrier Lexington was run in to a
Tacoma dock and her turbines We're used
to supplement the energy of the city
power plant.
This stunt worked so well that private
industry has found it worth copying.
According to The Industrial Bulletin,
issued by Arthur D. Little, Inc, the New
England Public Service Co., which sup
plies power to seaboard cities in Maine

being left farther and farther back
of him. He began to feel homesick.
''Oh, if I could only jump down

sighed Uncle Wiggily, holding fast
with one paw to his umbrella and
with his other paw to the side Aof

Then, all of sudden. Uncle Wig
gily remembered something he Had
read in the paper about pilots
jumping out of aeroplanes, either
for fun, or when they were jim

of the Lexington instructive. A 7OOO-ton
cargo ship, the Tacoma, has been bought
and transformed into floating power
plant of 10000 kilowatts capacity by the
installation of new oil-fired boilers, two
huge generators and other equipment.
The Tacoma is kept available for serv-
ice anywhere along the coast Whenev-
er all electric power famine is threatened
in any coast city whether by reason of
drought or for any other cause, the ia
coma is rushed to the spot. It.ties ap at a
dock, just as the Lexington did, and cuts
in on the city's high tension system,
pumping out electric power until the
emergency is past.
Thus a flexible power supply is as
sured, and the danger of shortage IS
overcome. The interesting thing about
it all that it is simply one more way of
making men independent of natural
forces. Streams may run low, or storms
may cripple power lines; nevertheless,
in spite Of natures mischief, this partic
ular territory will be able to get its reg
ular supply of electricity, quite as though
nothing had happened.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PARACHUTE

Sitting on the tail OF the aero
plane, Uncle Wiggily was having u
wonderful ride through the sky.
That is, it seemed wonderful for a
! time. but as the rabbit gentleman
looked down on the earth where he
lived. and where he had built his
hollow stump bungalow, he said TO
himself:
. "How am l ever going 10 get
back home
Well might Uncle Wiggily ask
this, for he was being carried
farther and farther away all the
while. The pilot in the mail aero
plane did not know he had a rabbit
gentleman for a passenger on the
tail of his machine. And Uncle
Wiggily had no way Of telling the
pilot he was there. Uncle Wiggilv
could not shout against the wind
that almost blew him away. He did
not dare start crawling up toward
the cockpit where the pilot sat.

Uncle Wiggily had gone out to

aeroplane come down for a forced
banding while the pilot mended his
motor. And Uncle Wiggily, just for

But the pilot of the aeroplane
never thought of doing such thing
as that. He wanted TO get away

COMMITTEEMAN SAYS WASH INGTON WANTS CHANGE TO

Anchorage Times

E The candidacy of John Rustgard for the republican nomination for delegate to congress, is receiving
 the strong support of Capt. Al K. Lathorp, republican national com
 mitteeman for Alaska, who arrived
 Sunday enroute to the national
 capitol, following a hurried trip to
 the Fairbanks district Captain
 Lathrop not only is backing the at-
 torney general but he also is con-
 fident that MT. Rustgard will re- Iceive the endorsement of a sub
 stantial majority of republican
 voters in the forthcoming primar- 5ies, Captain Lathrop will remain in
 the states until the early part of June
 The views of the committeeman on the political situation are very clearly and concisely expressed in Ian announcement made by him following his arrival from the east earlier in the month The an Inouncement appeared in the Fair banks News Miner over his sigma Iture as follows:
 "As a result of my visits at Wash Iington during the past year I have
 been deeply impressed with the apparent desire upon the part of the administration, the various de- tpartments, and the members of congress with whom I have talked, to be helpful to Alaska. What the Territory needs in Washington, it has been shown me, is a delegate who can and will make friends with these various agencies of the g0v- ernment, and who, by 50 doing. may pave the way for that legisla- tion and material assistance from the national government which it IsO materially needs. A delegate who antagonizes and fights with those who are in a position to aid Jus can be of little practical benefit Ito the Territory. I am therefore supporting MT. Rustgards candi-
 dacy, and will extend to him all the assistance I can give.
