A. D. Poteet of the territorial road
commission returned from an inspec
tion trip to the Dime creek section
on the Silver Wave The object of
the trip was to gain an Wea of the
road needs of the section.. Mr. Fo
tect states that roads are badly needed
hut -owing to the present great diffi
culty of placing material in Dime
creek there is not much prospect that
the commission can do a great deal
this summer. Poteet is of the opin
ion that the material should be placed
on the ground during the coming win
ter n preparatc/m for construction next
summer. He says that Dime creek
appears a lively camp and Is running
on the "wide open" order. The min
ing outlook Is very good ns there Is
also a large area of ground that has
never been prospected but which ap
parently lies In the gold belt. Meals
are stated to be cheap, the modest sum
of one dollar being charged for a meal
served in family style with an abund
ance of all the good hings the camp
affords.

In a letter recently received by a
prominent Nomeite It Is stated that
Miss Sutherland, who spent many
summers In Nome as the secretary of
Or. Cabell Whitehead, now deceased,
is at present driving an automobile
ambulance on the French front. That
a woman should be engaged In such
occupation may occasion some sur
prise until it is known that large
numbers of French ambulances driv
ers arc women. A recent report of
the French government discloses that
numerous women are being employed
in such capacity.
