Deputy U s Mar shal Paul Herring was called, and procuring a witness he broke in the door and turned the oil stove off. The soot in it was pre- sumably burning out.
 The same evening at the fed eral jail a prisoner in on a charge of drunk and dis Jrderly set fire to his shirt, after removing it, and filled the jail with smoke, but there was no other damage.
 On Wednesday morning, about 8 am, smoke was seen in the back of the Bank of Kodiak by Harvey Brown, Army Signal Corps and former bank employe, as he was talking outside to MT. and Mrs. o. A. Torgerson. They rushed iD and extinguished burn paper in a waste basket in 8 washroom with fire extinguish- CT. It was reported that MT. Tor gerson, bank president, had just emptied his pipe there.

 Visitors viewed two of the rri- vate rooms which have been re- decorated, one in shell pink and one in pale green, and admired the sun porch with it's new paper drapes, bright yellow with a large floral design.
 The ca table was decorated with a real Chinese lace cloth, a candelabra with 5 white tapers, with a silver tea service at one end and samovar, from which coffee was served, at the other. Cup cakes, decorated with silver leaves and pink rosebuds, were served.

seven huge filter-basins, he asked
for wash" F'ilter-operator Os-
car C. Sanford rotated lever on
the black metal desk. Lights flash
ed. Machinery hummed.
The still water in the filter-basin
swirled suddenly, while down the
center of the tank its level sank
abruptly, like the Dead Sea part
ing to admit the children of Israel.
A concealed sluice had opened,
while on both sides water was be-
ing pumped upward, back through
the filtering layer of sand into
which it had been sinking The
layer of silt screened out by the
sand boiled upward, flowed over
into the sluice and rushed down
and out of the building by way OF
drain pit.
Within five minutes the mud was
gone, and in the clear water at the
bottom Of the pool could be seen
a long metal arm, methodicaliy
sweeping back and forth, smooth

explained, like steel chips" First
mixed with the water by paddle
wheel under the cement platform,
the alum. has from forty to $50
feet to do its settling as the
water moves slowly through long
concrete sedimentation basins.
There are seven of these, 19
feet deep, backing up like a porch
outside the main plant building.
They are perched higher than the
filter basins inside, into which
they flow. From these the SET
tied Tube draws its samples.
After filtering, the water alb.
serbs fifty pounds of chlorine a
day, injected under pressure.
Since the alum which settled the
silt also leacned IS per cent of
its natural lime from the raw
water, lime has also to be added.
If it were not, the water would
be hard. This Finished wa
ter in the laboratory's Tube 5 is
the most frequently tested. both
for bacteria, which the chlorine
kills, and and for its alkaline or
acid reaction.
Two massive electric engines
pump the water on it's rounds
through the plant, while a gaso-
line engine stands by for use in
case of electric power failure
Each electric can shoot five mil
lion gallons through in "a hours,
which makes total Of three mil
lion more than the rest of the
plant can handle. An enormous
rectangular pit in the plant floor
lies waiting for the postwar era
and a possible diesel substitute
for the more expensive electrics,
Beyond the concrete housing Of
the sedimentation basins lies the
city's new clearwater reservoir,
which will hold four million gal
Ions. Normally this is hooked with
the plant and with the old reser-
.voir, so that an even water level is
maintained, but for cleaning pur-
posses either services can be
drained. Unlike the old reservoir,
with its removable turtle-b ack
metal cover, the new one is a
permanent concrete structure
which looks like an artistically de-
signed bonb-shelter.
Currently the water which en-
tiers the plants great intake valve
is pumped from the. upper end OF
TONERS = Creek, to which the
mouth of the supply pipeline was
pushed in 1923 and to which tidal
salt water followed it in 1910.

Scientists have estimated that
the worlds oceans contain four

salt, but none of it will be coming

Pessimists point out that, al
