WHAT TO DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part in this big opportunity! Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week ecr 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or nOnsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram is unscrambled the letters form the name of place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter --an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.

Notice is hereby given that the collector of customs for this district has issued an order dated January 20, 1850, authorizing the name of the oil screw ANNA, official number 253926, owned by the Territory of Alaska, as represented by the De- partment of Health, of which Ju- neau, Alaska, is the home port, to be changed to HEALTH.

 Collector of Customs
 Juneau, Alaska. First publication, Feb ', 1850. Last publication, Feb. 10, 1850.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-02-07

All you do is re-arrange the let ters to form single word which is the name of place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when it is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

ion on the problem. The meet
ing will be held Wednesday eve
ming. Aug. 80, at the city hall.
Coming on the heels of the un-
usually high increase in tele-
phone rates which was granted
last month by the utilities COM
mission, the council is reluctant
to pile any more burdens on the
already overloaded consumer.
In speaking for the council
Mayor Mel Johns urged all in
terested citizens to be present at
"citizens" meeting. 1t is ex-
pected that the gas companies
will submit petition to the state
utilities commissioner for a SINH
lar increase if their demands are
turned down by the council.
Last year the companies sought
approval for a ten year contract
with an exceptionally high in
crease for the last five years the
ordinance was in effect. At THIS
time the council turned down the
request, feeling that economic
cond tions five years hence
might demand a reduct o n
rather than an increase IN the
consumers bill.
The new contract proposed at
the Aug. z meeting is only for
five years. During the first year
the increase on 5000 cubic feet
of gas consumed will be twenty
cents. For the next four years
the companies will receive an in
crease of thirty-five cents for
each 5000 cubic feet of gas con-
sumed.
