Valdez Electric Company May Extend
System to Camp Comfort and
Mineral Creek.
The Valdez Electric Company is
planning an extension of its tele
phone system to Camp Comfort, pos
sibly to Wortman, on the government
road, and to the head of Mineral
creek. Mrs. Magnuson of Camp Com
fort roadhouse is negotiating for a
telephone line, and the only thing
lacking is consent of the proper au
thority in the signal corps for the
use of the government telegraph
poles to string the telephone wire
on. If this is obtained the telephone
service may also be continued to
Wortman roadhouse.
If federal consent is given to string
a telephone wire on the telegraph
poles the army will be given free
use of the telephone service.
W. L. Smith is negotiating with
the company for a telephone line to
his mine near the head of Mineral
creek. This would serve several
mines on the creek and it will prob
ably be installed.
One On the Editor.
An editor who started about thirty
years ago with fifty-five cents, is now
worth $10,000. His accumulation of
wealth is due to frugality, good hab
its, strict attention to business and
the fact that an uncle died and left
him $9,999.

MAY DISPOSE OF
Y. M. C. A. PROPERn
Directors Planning to Take Over Val
uable Lot Sold for Back Taxes—
To Run Everyman's Club.
The directors of the Y. M. C. A.
held a meeting last night to consid
er a proposition made by Rev. \V.
H. Ziegler that they take over the
Everyman’s Clubhouse and continue
it along the lines it has been con
ducted the past year and also to core
for an indebtedness of about $300.00
still owing on the building and fur
niture. 1 ,
A circulating library of 2,000 books
is kept in the upper room and card
tables, piano and reading room is
maintained downstairs and a large
number of men have enjoyed the use
of the club house.
The Y. M. C. A. some time ago pur
chased the corner lot and cement
Walls Of the old Reynolds bank, but
failed to pay the city taxes,
and as a result Albert White pur
chased it at the sale of city lots last
fall.
It is now proposed that the Y. M.
C. A. redeem the lot and sell part
of it, retaining the 40 feet next to
the city fire hall, then remove the
Everyman’s Clubhouse from the
church lot to the Y. M. C. A. lot,
add a large gymnasium in the rear
of the present building and have a
fullfledged Y. M. C. A.
Another proposal was to sell the
Y. M. C. A. lot and return to the
subscribers of the fund with which
it was purchased as much as possi
ble of the money they gave. The
association, besides buying the lot,
have spent $600.00 in completing the
walls, one of which is on the lot
owned by the Eagles and will have
to be torn down or the land pur
chased from that order.
No decision was made at last
night’s meeting except that the Y.
M. C. A. directors would take charge
of the Everyman’s club rooms for a
short time until some definite decis
ion was arrived at for its continu
ation. Another meeting of the di
rectors will be held Friday evening
to further discuss the matter.
District Committeeman C. E. Bun
nell will leave on one of the next
boats to attend the Democratic con
vention to be held in Skagway on
the third of August.

SHORT ROUTE
Henry Deyo Finds New Route Which
Shortens the Distance From
Valdez Ten Miles ,
*
The latest reports from Copper
Center are to the effect that Survey
or Deyo has located a preliminary
survey from Copper Center to the
Matanuska coal fields that shortens
the distance at least ten miles be
tween these points.
The route as originally surveyed
left the Valdez-Fairbanks road at the
Tazalina and followed up the north
bank to the lake. The route select
ed by Col. Deyo, however, leaves the
main line at Copper Center and
, makes a bee line for the east end
of Tazalina lake, saving ten miles
in distance and avoiding the clay
banks at the mouth of the Tazalina
river.
It is expected that the' survey to
the Chickaloon will be completed not
later than the- first of September,
when the Deyo party will survey the
line from Willow creek to Valdez.
