SIi-ong's lirst annual report to
l he president as governor of
Alaska is due on October I. He
stated while here that all data

Governor Strong will recom
mend that Hie work of the Alas
ka Road Commission be contin
ued and will ask for a greatly in
creased appropriation for that

annually should be expended on
roads and (rails in Alaska in or
der Mini outlying camps may be
afforded a measure of relief by
securing cheaper transportation
of supplies. Al present the lim
ited appropriations are crippling
the work of the commission, as
the moneys placed at their dis
posal is largely required to keep
the roads in their unfinished con
nil ion. in repair.
Tioverimr Strong will also urge
the passage of the.measure now
heforel congress providing for an
approprial ion of S i0,000,000 for
the construction of railroads in

— Five men were entombed in a
coal mine here by caving of the.

them died. The others were tak
en out alive but are very weak
and were taken to the hospital.
The rescue gang worked for
twenty hours without, interrup

for want of fresh air if they were
not already dead as a result of
the cave in. The workings had

by a strata of sand and that the’
blasting in the mine had caused
the hanging roof to cave from the
strata down.
