REDUCE DUMBER
RESERVE RUNES
Washington, Nov. I.—The
linance committee has tentatively
reduced the number of reserve
hanks which it was proposed to
establish in connection with the.
currency reform system from
twelve to four. The administra
tion is opposed to the change-and
will insist that the number he
increased rather than reduced.
Beimelt James and associates
have decided to place a giant
dredge on Moore creek, a tribu
tary of the Kuskokwim river. The
ground has been prospected for
two years and experts who'have
made an examination of the
workings believe it will be one of
the biggest propositions in the
north.
Jack Hayes, assistant superin
tendent of government roads fof
Southeastern Alaska, has assured
the people of Wrangell that he
will blaze a trail al the mouth of
the Stikine river this fall and in
I In- spring will begin work on a
road extending from tidewater up
tile river twelve mi'es.
