CATERPILLAR TRACTORS MUST ALSO BE STARTED
 ON GOLD MORNINGS

From Moose Pass comes word that George Lindsey, of that region, is busy getting out HOO feet of piling for the Alaska Railroad. The billings are being taken out thru the use of Caterpillar tractors which do not seem to mind the drifted snow as they keep blowing right along
 Chester McAuley. eat" driver for MT. Lindsey, Is at present in Sew ard enjoying a brief vacation. He may remain here for a few days longer as he failed to get into Sew ard for Christmas owing to the trip from the Lindsey place to Moose Pass station recently requir ing some extra time and he missed the Christmas train into Seward. The "cat" usually makes the four mile trip in one and one-half hours but the recent trip took somewhat like four hours because of the snow
 Having in mind the trouble caused local auto owners by the cold weather in the starting of their autos on certain frosty mornings, McAuley was asked how he started the "cat" in the mornings.
 He explained that on the tractor where there was no self-starter that they used hot water and blow torches to heat the carburetion system and then put two men on the crank. Sometimes, he said ether is poured into the cylinders for easier and quicker starting. Yes, it has taken two hours to start one of the "cats" on a cold morning.

throng Of 100000 that witnessed the
opening ceremonies. fully $4,000 being
present. Numerous records were broken.
Indeed, in so many events were new
high marks recorded that it will be
recognized that the 1882 Olympiad has
set the most dificult standard Of all
the ten for the athletes of the world
These games, revivals of an ancient
Greek contest originating in IT'S BIC,
began in 1896 and have been held at in
tervalS for four years, with two excep-
tions. The first Olympiad occurred at
Athens in 1896, the second at Paris IN
1900, the third at st. Louis in 1904,
and the fourth at Athens IN 1906, this
being the only departure from the
quadrennial sequence, save that the
games were omitted in 1916 on account
of the Great War then raging. They
were resumed in 1920 at Antwerp. we're
held again at Paris in 1924 and at AM
sterdam in 1928.
In every one Of the ten of these great
meetings the Americans have scored
first honors. Thus the victory at Los
Angeles is in maintenance of the ath-
letic supremacy of this country In the
majority of classifications.
The Olympiads have come to be re-
garded as a permanent institution.
They have an unmistakable value in
promoting international acquaintance
and understanding Although they draw
together competing representatives OF
many countries, intent upon gaining
ground upon their rivals, in the main
the finest spirit OF craftsmanship has
always prevailed. Unpleasant incidents
have occurred, in consequence OF dis
putes regarding eligibility and perform
ance, but on the whole each Olymplad
has served to advance the fraternity OF
the nations, meeting upon common
ground Of sport. 1t is significant that
it was possible to resume these meet
ingS only two years after the Great
War, and that in the events that have
just concluded representatives of former
foes in battle were contestirg in amity
on the field without sign of hostility
due to the bitterness of the great
conflict.

Just what those instructions will be
remains for disclosure. There was an
early expectation that Mr.. Garner would

sections of the country, but the latest
belief is that he will not confine him

policies are supposedly out of harmony
with the disposition Of that group cf
somewhat wavering voters whose sup

Kansas and Missouri Offer
New Judgments on Dry La"

Missouri Bennett C. Clark. sturdy
champion of repeal and immediate moo
ification OF the VolStead act, was noml-
mated over two candidates, one de-
scribed as a passive repealist' and the
other a former dry who has got around
to a stand for reSubmiSsion of the ques-
ton to the people. Commentators on
the ground assert that the Kansas re-
suit is attributable to indifference
rather than to conviction. They say
the denominations of the two othcers
mentioned are due to party organization
and to the fact that personalities rather
than platform declarations entered into
the contest"
Declaring the probability that there
will be Democratic success in missouri;
the Roanoke Times believes it would
mean that "the late Champ Clark's
State will be represented in the United
States Senate by Champ Clark's son.
and that paper offers the comment:
Bennett c. Clark, only son OF the
last Democratic Speaker prior to JACK
Garner, made his fight for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination on plat
form favoring straightout repeal OF the
eighteenth amendment. He won by
decisive pluralities over his two oppo-
nents. Charles M. Hay, long ldentlned
with the prohibition cause in Missouri,
and Charles NJ. Howell. who ran on
milder resubmission platform with the
backing of the powerful Pendegrast
political machine in Kansas City. The
contest proved to be between Clark and
Howell"
The New York Times recalls that Mr..
Clark said that as a Missouri citizen
and voter he would work for outright
repeal as submitted to the State con-
vention by Congress" and holds that
this was what made him the unquali-
fled wet in the primary and gave him
a substantial victory" The Baltimore
Sun declares: These results are sig
nificant because, on top of dramatic
wet victories elsewhere. they seem to
indicate purpose in many States to
compel such a showdown on the pro-
hibition question as will make abortive
all efforts to get 1t out of the presi-
Dental campaign"
Fifty million political experts prob
ably can't be wrong, even though they
have been In the past remarks the
Nashville Banner. "and likely Col.
Clark's wetness did have something to
| do with his remarkable victory. For
all that, though. to lay so much stress
on the wet phase of the matter is to do
Col. Clark great deal less than justice.
As a matter of fact and record, it would
seem probable that few men in the
United States, If any, are better quail
| fed to render eflcient service in Con-
gress than Is Col. Clark.
