In Caesarea, when Festus spoke
of sending Paul to jerusalem, where
he would be exposed to the murder
GUS plots of his Jewish enemies, the
great apostle appealed to Caesar"
a right of Roman citizen, requiring
that he be sent to Rome for the
adjudication of his case.
Paul and several other prisoners
were turned over to the centurion
julius, like the others encountered
in the New Testament, apparently
a kind and reasonable man. In the
first ship used on the long journey,
the party proceeded up the coast
of Palestine. At Sidon, Paul was
allowed to see his friends Then,

to Myra, and all were transferred
to another vessel.
This was grain ship, probably
out of Egypt, bound for Rome.

it ran into storm. For an early
description of an exciting sea-
voyage and miraculous escape from
death, read the twenty-seventh
chapter of Acts Notice how PauIs
courage and faith led him to the
front. He practically took charge of
the party.
Following the shipwreck at Malta,
Paul and the entire 275, who had
been aboard ship, spent three
months on that Island. AS usual,
Paul took the opportunity to preach
the gospel there. After the stay on
Malta, travellers embarked on a
third ship, another grain ship, and
finally landed on the Italian main
land at Puteoli. Here, Paul found
Christian brethren, for already the
faith had preceded him, On the
journey to Rome, using the famous
Appian Way, other Christians from
Rome met and welcomed Paul.
Arriving in Rome, Paul was con-
tinued as prisoner, but, while a
guard was chained to him, he was
allowed considerable freedom, in
so far as his stationary residence
permitted. He conferred with leadine
Jews, delivered a great address to
a large gathering of his racial, kind
red, and continued his work for the
gospel.
Z Book OF Acts
The Book of Acts stops here, with
Paul in prison awaiting trial, but
from his letters and early traditions
the balance of his life can be sketch
led
teDuring his first imprisonment
Paul wrote some of his great
epistles, including Ephesians, Col
ossians, Philippians and Philemon
Paul was not brought to trial. Eigh-
teen months with no pressing
charges against prisoner were
considered sufficient to free him, so
Paul was liberated.
For several years he 1abored and
travelled. From early tradition and
Pauls letters to Titus and Timothy
we gather some idea of his activity
during this period. Visits to churches

LaveIIe Young Was Once Gold Dredge Boat

The Steamer Lavelle Young, which brought Capt. E. T. Barnett to the site of Fairbanks in 1901, was built originally as a dredge boat to dig gold in the Far North, according to The Waterways Jour- nal
 The boat was built in Portland in 1898 and on it's port side there was a bucket line Captain Archie Pease supervised its construction and it was destined for the Koyu- kuk River.
 The venture proved unsuccessful, however, and the steamer was sold to the Northern Commercial Com pany which converted her into a passenger boat.

 Finally, the need for a larger and better library became acute. George C. Thomas. who had worked on some of the mission projects, offered to donate money for the purpose of building library, plus a pledge to contribute an addition al $l000 annually for three years As the news of the construction Of the building travelled, many con- tributions from the States brought books and money for the under- taking

Miners Hungry For Books; Local Library Born

A library in a rough and tumble mining town would seem to be a curious combination, but with the discovery of gold came miners and prospeetors who were hungry for the printed word
 The process of gathering some 1900 worn books and several hun dred magazines was slow but in 1904 the first library was put on the shelves in the Episcopal mission on the banks of the Cinema
 Church and library reading room were one and the same building with only curtain screening the altar. Writing desks and materials for writing letters was set Up to accommodate about 20 people.

Little Giant
 Boosted Fairbanks Early Economy

You mean that thing actually ran on tracks," tourists so often ask when they see the narrow gauge little giant locomotive parked on the Garden Island side of the Che na bridge.
 Yes, it actually ran. And although 1t offers a striking contrast to the Alaska Railroad diesel streamliner that glides into the depot each mor- ming. the toy-like engine saved miners in early day Fairbanks over $300,000 a year.
 Transportation was big prob- lem in the early days. And when the village of Chena, located at the Junction of the Chena Slough and the Tanana river. was established during the Panama gold rush, it be- came a Sparta to the Athens of Fair banks.
 Due to Chena's favorable loca- ton and the extreme difficulty of travelling the slough to Fairbanks at low water, the little giant was put into operation
 Construction was completed on the Panama Valley Railroad in 1905, promoted by Falcon Joslin. For years it carried freight over 40 miles of narrow gauge track from Cinema to Fairbanks to Chatanika.
 The train was responsible for hauling the vast amount of machin- cry needed to open the F. E. com panys operations in the Tanana valley area.
 Modern means of transportation have long since outdated the little engine. But it still stands today as a symbol of the roaring. bustling mining camp that once was Fair banks.

Basement Oil Tanks
Need 'Sofety Wall

Concrete blocks are available
in several sizes. A convenient
size is 8x8x4 inches. One sack Of
ready-mixed mortar is enough
for setting them. Having pro-
cured the materials. mark lines
on the cellar floor and wall to
denote the location of this new
wall and then roughen the space
within these lines. using a cold
chisel an dhammer. The next
step is to dampen the concrete
and then put down a bed of
mortar for the first course of
blocks. The mortar need be only
under the outer edges. Keep the
joints one-half inch thick.
If this gives you trouble. use
small strips Of wood for keeping
the blocks q uniform distance
apart. Remove the wood as soon
as the blocks are in place and
fill the resulting holes. If you
object to the appearance of the
holes in the top of the wall,
wad them with paper and plaS-
ter over them with mortar.

By HERMAN BAUM

II have noticed that in some
commercial buildings, oil tanks
located in the Easements are
enclosed in rooms partitioned of
from the rest Of the building. I
am told that this is to prevent
damage to the building should
the tank leak. Do you think that
1t would be a good idea to fol-
low this same construction for
private residences? / remember
once hearing that a tank In a
home did leak" P. L. M. writes.
Answer-The idea is a most
practical one and 1 have always
advocated that home owners
enclose oil tanks located in
cellars. I do not know of any
building code that requires this
construction. Leniency in this
matter is perhaps based on
statistics that 1 do not have and
q desire not to burden the home
owner with additional expense,
but / know of at least three cases
where oil tanks failed in homes
Of my neighbors.
In two instances, the tanks
were in service three years and
in the other case it was 10
years old. so it is not necessarily
an old rusted tank that gives
the trouble. One tank casualty
caused fire that practically
destroyed the house. In the
other two cases, everything
stored in the cellars was ruined
and the Objectionable odor re-
NAMED for many months.
The chances are your Oil tank
will never leak but a few hours
effort viii provide lots of insur-
ance should you fall victim to
the exception.
1t is not necessary to enclose
these cellar tanks completely,
and this would not be desirable.
A small retaining wall which
would confine the oil is all that
is required. To make the job as
simple as possible. this wall can
be built of concrete blocks which
brings the work within the scope
of the rankest amateur. AS a
leak is most likely to occur when
the tank is filled with oil, the
space within the wall must be
sufficiently large SO that it will
not overflow.

Water Heaters
Need Draining

Most water heaters should be
drained monthly to remove dirt
and rust which may discolor your
plumbing fixtures.
The average water heater can
be cleaned simply by attaching
your garden hose to the drain

until it is clear.

can hint that the caulking
around the easement window is
probably responsible, and even
though it may look to be in good
condition, view it with suspicion.
Better scrape it out and put in
some fresh material. Also check
the mortar joints in the brick
work above and on both sides Of
the window. If there are any
signs Of cracks, re-point them.

4th Bay Shark Identified
AS Harmless Variety

ANNAPOLIS, July rs (R.-An
expert from the Department OF
Tidewater Fisheries said today
four sharks caught in Chesa-
peake Bay since last Monday
are probably strays which wan
dered into the Upper Bay behind
a school Of fish.
That was the guess Of Edgar
H. Hollis. fish and crab cul-
turist, who examined the latest
catch-an g. foot. 500-pound
shark caught of Curtis Point
at the mouth of West River yes
terday.
Mr.. Hollis identified it as a
hilbert or brown shark, which
is not classed as a man eater.
FOsna in Net
Two COMMERCIAL fishermen,
Bernard T. Hallock and his &C.
year-old son Thomas. found the
shark in their stationary net and
took it to Galesville for display
at a wholesale fish establishment
Last week three sharks, APP
proximately the same size, were
caught OF Rock Hall near the
mouth of the Chester River in
Kent County by Wilkes Hub
bard, also a commercial fisher
man. His nets caught one on
Monday, another Wednesday
and a third one Friday.
Mr.. Hubbard identified them
from a technical book as great
white sharks, Of the man-eating
variety, but Mr.. Hollis was in
clined to think they too were
probably milberts. He did not
