THE GABLE IS
NOT SPUGEO
The break in the cable is 28
miles from Hinchinbrook off the
mouth of the 'Copper river. The
heavy sediment carried by the
river and washed across the cable
has .worn away the rubber pro
tection, allowing the water to get
at the steel wire, which in turn
lias been rusted through. It will
require ton miles of new cablc to
repair the break. The usual life
of an ocean cable is ten years and
as the Seatlle-Valdez was laid in
1903, a new cable will have to be
laid in the next year or so.
Nothing has been heard from
the Burnside today and it is very
likely that the storm has not
abated and until it does nothing
can be done, although both ends
of the cable have been buoyed.
It will require but a few hours
| to finish the work.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
