TOKOTNA, ALASKA. JUNK 23. 1923
Wireless Company to
Enter Alaskan Field
Seattle.—With the launching- of the
Alaska Communication Service into
the Pacific coast field of telegraphic
communication all the vast territory
lying no* til of this city will in the near
future be enabled to receive messages
at a greatly reduced cost, according to
an announcement made by Robert An
derson Pope, president of the Alaska
Communication Service. The company
in question is a new entrant into the
commercial field, and bids fair to give
the people of Alaska a greatly reduced
toll rate. #
The new service when inaugurated
will supplement the present cable ser
vice of the army and the navy wire
less. which are the present means of
communication to Alaska.
It is stated that the main station for
the Pacific coast end of the venture
will be at Gray’s Harbor, with Anchor
age, at the head of Cook Inlet, being
Alaskan headquarters. Messages will
be relayed from the latter place to the
various substations in the North.
It is expected that within a short
time a corps of three or four engineers
■will be sent uorth to travel over the
Territory for the purpose of selecting
the best possible sites for the main
station and those of the high-power
stations. These sites will be selected
regardless of location, the main point
being for distribution of service. In
all, seventeen stations are in contem
plation. Five of this number will be
of high-power capacity, with one being
■devoted exclusively to stripping work,
taking ail marine calls. Central and
Western Alaska will he under the su
perintendency of J. P. llannon, of Sew
ard, who is at present in the seacoast
town promoting the interests of the
company.
With the installation of the stations
■it is expected that a reduction of from
,>0 to (>0 per cent in the present cable
and wireless tolls will be made—ap
plicable between Alaska and the ter
minal at Gray’s Harbor.
None but the best equipment will be
used in installing the stations or sup.

having already been signed for ma

The Latest Nut.
The Soul of Tutankhamen, Pharaoh
of the Nile, whose tomb has been
opened at Luxor, Egypt, after thirty-j
live centuries, lives in Detroit, Mich.
Its residence is Henry Ford.
Frank D. Hines, Denver mystic,
made this statement.
Hines, a “soul scientist:’ of 22 years’
standing, recently made page 1 by de
claring a woman’s head had followed
him about for several days.
“King Tutankhamen has not joined
the children of light,” said Hines. “He
still is beiug born into fleshy moulds.”
This statement was made just after
Hines had projected his astral body on
I a rush trip to Luxor and into the tomb
i of the ancient monarch, with whom he
; said he conversed.
i
| “As soon as I returned L recognized
! Henry Ford as the reincarnation of
| Tutankhamen. The latter had a gift
I of drawing the world’s wealth toward
! him. He was of the acquisitive type.”’
i Hines said. Just for good measure,
Hines added that Ford’s soul formerly
i dwelt in the body of Julius Caesar and
i that of a Chinese emperor of the I2ih
> century, after it departed from the
Pharaoh’s mummy.—Ex.
“Hill is going to retire from business
| for live years.”
“Oh, he said that before.”
I “Yes, but this time the judge said
it.”
