CHANGES MADE IX
OPERATION T. S. S. BOATS
Several chances In the operation
of the Admiral Line steamers will
soon be inaugurated in the north,
according (o J. H. Kline, agent at
Juneau for that cc."npany, who has
returned from a conference with of
Icials at Seattle, says the Juneau
Empire.
,\lr. Kline announced that he took
up several matters with A. F.
Ilaines. vice president and general
manager of the ctmpauy, at Seat
tle. and as a result, during the sum
mer season.all boats will lie in Ju
neau at least six hours during the
day time, no matter what time they
arrive.
During the month of January the'
Spokane will make the run to Alas-|
ka. In February the Spokane will'
go into drydock for a thorough
overhauling and the Queen will
make the run. These boats will
operate on a two-week schedule.
Starting on the Hist of March both
steamers will !>e on the Southeast
ern Alaska run.
Call Skagwuy and Sitka
After the trip of the Spokane,
leaving Seattle near Christinas. the
vessels will make alternate trip to
Sk.:-wa> -inil Sitka. In illustration.
Mr. Kline said that the tirst trip
would If to Skagway and the ne.'t
one to Sitka. In a!l cases the boats
... v siting Skagwa.v or Sitka will
i nt Juneau southbound. There
will he no more single stop trips
out of Juneau, according to M.\
k I Tentative ar angemetits were
also made. Mr. Kline sa d. for the
formation of set sailing hours from
each port.
Optimistic
"Mr. Haines seamed to be very
optimistic over the outlook in Al
.u-Ka, and said that the Pacific
:p company was going to
take care of its Alaskan business,
lie was surprised." Mr. Kline con
tinued. "that the Southeastern Alas
ka business had kept up as well as
i: had.
"As yet the excu.sion business is
ore or less up in the air. and no
•rediction can be made as to the'
>ol.;:ue of it. The company, how
w r. has lines out to secure boats j
muU which to take care of all the'
mess offered."

l.v Mrs. Kline, besides being at Se-|
at tie. wsited also at San Francisco

miters of the transportation busi
■..•ss in both cities.
OHIO RIVER HAS
ENORMOUS DISCHARGE
In volume of water Ohio river is
the main tributary of the Mississip
pi. Its average discharge. accord
ing to t lie United States geological
survey, department of the interior,
is about 300.000 cubic feet per sec
ond. which is much more thau the
d.scharge of St. Lawrence river at
Ogdensburg. N. Y., although the
drainage area of l..e St. Lawrence
is nearly twice that of the Ohio.
The maximum flow cf the Ohio is
approximately 1,50J,000 cubic feet
per second, about 30 times the iniu
imutn tlow.
A comparison o! records of the
flow of Ohio river with those of the
upper Mississippi and Missouri
shows that although its drainage
area is but one-ttird that of the
combined Mississippi and Missouri
its average and lew-water flow is
1.3 times us great as their combin
ed flow, and its maximum flow is
1.5 times as great. This fact is ac
counted for bv the greater rainfall
in the Ohio basin and by the gen
eral character of the region.
In the Ohio basin there are ap
parently many opportunities for
storage, especially on the southern
tributaries. On topographic maps
of the geological purvey that cover
part of the drainage area of the
Ohio a large number of reservo.r
sites have been lo'ated, some of
them of enormous capacity, and it
is believed that careful surveys
would shows many sites suitable
for dams that would impound large
quantities of water in reservoirs.
The volume of -vater flowing in
the Ohio may perhaps be better ap
preciatea by noting that a discharge
of 300.000 cuh.c feet per second
would in one day cover 395.000
acres to a depth of 1 foot.

The ancient vegetation of the Arc-1
ic*region, as is shown by a study of |
is fossil plants, indicates that its I
1 mate wus once very unlike that
ivhlch prevails the-e now. Instead
>( consisting of a handful of small
ilants struggling for life amid snow
nul ice in a scant, almost perpetual
y frozen soil, its vegetation was
ihundant and luxuriant and includ
ed ferns and paln.like plants that
:row only in a mild and probably
rostless climate. This vegetation
lourlshed in the Arctic region from
it least late Paleozoic to middle
Ynoxuic geologic Ume, millions of
ears ago, before man existed. Al
hough these lands are now so in
lospitable and are rarely visited,
ho I'nited Slates geological survey
las gathered a large amount of in
sinuation concerning their fossil
loras.
A study of the coal beds of the
"ape Lisburne region has incidental
y disclosed many fossil plants,
i'hese coal beds are extensive and
ire the only known commercially
raluable mineral resources of that
•egion. A little coal Is occasionally
nined for vessels that are short of
uel, which, as there Is no harbor,
io off shore and perlously load on
i few sacks of coal by means of |
lighters.
Cape Lisburne is the bold head-1
and which marks the northwest end
>f a land mass ihat projects into
lie Arctic ocean from the western
:oast of Alaska atlout 1G0 miles
lorth of the Arctic Circle and about
100 miles directly north of Nome.
Even Cape Lisburne is by no means
:he northern limit of the fossil
plants of this nearly tropical vege
:ation, for they have been found in
the rocks ISO mi.es northeast of
3apo Lisburne.—Selected.
Whistle Easy to Play.
"So simple that even a child can
use it" is a phrase commonly seen and
heard these days, and which Is ap
plied with ease to a ne»v whistle in
strument, described with Illustration
In Popular Mechanics Magazine. By
pulling and pushing a lever attached
on the inside of Its barrel to a small
piston, the tones of the whistle are
caused to change. This lever termi
nates on the outside in a triangular
shaped finger piece running through & i
slotted plate. Markings representative
,,f musical tones appear on the plate,
and as the triangular lever moves into
place before the markings, a corre
spondingly pitched musical tone lsswei
from the whistle.
WANTS INFORMATION
REGARDING HUSBAND
Fresno, Calif., Dec. 2, 1921.
Governor of Alaska,
Juneau.
Hon. Sir:—I am writing for in
formation regarding my husband's
gold mine claims In Alaska—H.
Wallace or H. P. Wallace.
Tliis gold mine claim, I think, was
taken up about 10 years ago. I un
derstood my husband to say 500 .
miles from Skagway. He has a
partner up there, but I do not know
his name.
My husband left here on March
1, 1921, for Alaska. Have heard
nothing from him since he left Cal
ifornia. I am afraid of foul play
at the mine. I am greatly worried
and think perhaps he is dead at his
mine. Enclosed is bis picture.
Please look into this matter at
once. He was to arrive from Alas
ka either In October or November.
And here it is December, and no
word from him. Please let me hear
something from you at once.
Thanking you in advance for this
great kindness, I am
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. H. P. Wallace.
Address:
2424 Tulare St.,

SAVINGS OF CONGRESSMEN
Mr. Fordney of Mich.—We have
reduced taxes a billion and a quar
ter this year and if the good people
of the country, guided by the good
Lord, let the Republican party re
main in power another year, we will
reduce them still further.
Senator Stanley of Ky.—How
mean, how small, how shrunken is
the measure of our liberties com
pared to that enjoyed by our fath
ers!
Senator Smoot ol Utah.—The tax
payer is perfectly willing to pay tax
es sufficient to maintain the gov
ernment but he is unwilling to pay
taxes that are unjust and discrimin
atory.
Senator Hitchcock of Xebr.—
There are no private rights which
compare to the public interest.
Miss Robertson of Okla.—I heard
Mr. Debs speak in my home town
and 1 looked with horror at a man
who would come there and say the
things against the government of
the United States that he did. I do
not see how he can claim and re
ceive the benefits of American liber
ty and be so disloyal to the United
States.
Senator Stanley of Ky.—Drug
stores are dainty places; they are no
batter qualified to handle beer by
the case than they are to handle lard
by the pound or salt by the barrel.
