ENNGT Y. WILSON. FREEZES BOTH .
 FEET, MOOSE PASS

Emmet Wilson, placer miner and oldtinaer in the Kenai pen insula and well known here, was brought to Seward Saturday nite for medical attention for his frozen feet. Dr. Hyatt attended him and yesterday morning he was sent to Anchorage.
 A few days ago, in the course of his work, ne inadvertently stepped through an air pocket oh the frozen surface of Big Sum init Lake, Moose Pass, and when he reached his cabin half a mile distant he was in so helpless a state that he had great difficulty in removing his frozen shoe -pacs and socks from his feet.
 After repairing tO bed, without even being able to kindle fire in his cabin stove, he remained there for four days suffering in tense pain. All that time he was without warmth or food and un- able to summon aid, crawl to the cabin door for fuel or reach his horse in the barn ony 5O feet away
 Outside of his cabin storm ragged at temperature of 30 degrees below zero while the help less pioneer lay huddled in bed
 Bud" ToIson, sensing all wasn't well with his neighbor Wilson, two miles away, paid him a vis- 1t. When ne saw Wilson's plight he immediately built a fire and rendered first aid then went for his partner, Oscar Plowman, and together they took him to the Roycroft home at Mile 29, where Mrs. Roycroft substituted new bandages while Frank her husband, phoned the Alaska Railroad office, at Anchorage, for gas car to bring him into town.

SEWARD As ONE OF THE WORLDS LARGEST SHIPPING PORTS OF GASOLINE

The Seward Gateway was the first newsnaDe, M tha
 Omted states to call public attention to the arge ppsslolaes as sources of gasoline and ammonium su ple leftzels with many other by-products off great value, that are contained in the Ignite fields of central Alaska nat was little more than two years ago. The idea then was So new and revolutionary that the Dub nc were inclined to be bit skeptical about it But the apparent vision of that time is fast transforming into the substance of facts accomplished
 mat frst editorial carried on this subject by the seward Gateway seed in fertile soil If was
 preserved oy the clipping bureau of every coal tar and natural ol company III the United States for it gave
 description of the tremendous beds of Ignite to which he new Berglus inventions and discoveries are appli cable through the hydrogenation process It set those companies to thinking.
 Since the date of that first memorable editorial +ba Germans have invested several hundreds of millions of dollars in erecting dstilaton plants for the conversion oI hgmtes n Germany into gasoline ammonium sul- phate and numerous byproducts Today as result Dr. bergs the head of the research laboratory of the Ger man Dye Trust and the inventor of the process an- nounces that Germany is practically independent of the rest of the world for it's supplies of gasoline and fert lzers which it manufacture at less cost than the products and byproducts of the natural oils
 Even more startling is the announcement by pr. Bergls that improved process have resulted in yield ing three barrels of gasoline from each ton of Ignite instead of barrel of gasoline to the ton the first steps yielded
 On top of this comes the important announcement that the Standard Oil Company has acquired the patent rights to the Bergius process from Dr. Bergus and the German Dye Trust for all the territory of the United States, including Alaska.
 And as climax The Gateway is assured from sources entirely reliable that the Standard Oil Company is seriously considering the installation of large pant in Alaska tributary the Alaska Railroad for the dis tillation of gasoline and other byproducts from the igne beds of the Nenana and other fields in central Alaska.
 The day is near, fleeting times goes by, when these ignite beds of central Alaska incomparaby the largest in the world will be among the pr1ncpa sources of supply of gasoline and ammonium sulphate for thp Init
 The time will come, sooner than most of us can re- aze 1t, when Seward will be of the largest produc ing and shipping ports for gasoline and fertilizer in all the world

 Within a few seconds, however, another man got out of an automo- bile and approached her, and when she warned him that she was going to call a policeman he attempted to prevent her from doing so. Just then a man and a woman passed and the girl pretended the man was her brother, which had the effect of hurrying the motoriSt away.
 Officer Cosgrove mentioned in his report that tho description of the second car was practically the same as that of a car which was about Broad street week or so ago and at that time he received 8 com- plaint that a deaf and dumb girl had fought off a man who attempt cd to force her into the car,
