Commercial Association Wire Asking
Him to Make Trip Over Valdez
Fairbanks Wagon Road.
The Valdez Commercial Associa
tion has wired to Colonel Richard
son asking him to call on Secretary
Lane and urge upon him a cordial
invitation to include in his itinerary
of his proposed visit to Alaska this
summer, a motor trip over the Val
dez-Fairbanks wagon road and to ex
plain to the secretary the entire
practicability of the trip, which can
be made in from three to four days.
This action was reported to the
meeting of the Association held in
the city hall last night and met with
hearty approval. Vice-president Bun
nell occupied the chair, and Secre
tary Fish furnished a summary of
the work that had been done by the
Association during the past month.
A great many enquiries bad been
received (from persons 'looking for
locations and investments, all of
which had been answered in a con
servative way, particular pains hav
ing been taken by the secretary not
to exaggerate the possibilities of this
section, he taking the position that
the truth is, or should be, sufficient
inducement.
Secretary Fish reported that he had
sent letters to all the commercial or
ganizations of Portland, Tacoma and
Seattle asking them to aid in having
Valdez selected as the terminus. He
pointed out the fact that should ex
isting lines be bought by the gov
ernment it would reduce the amount
of the appropriation that would be
used for actual construction, and
simply mean a transfer of funds to
J P. Morgan & Co.; depriving all
Pacific coast cities from any advan
tage whatever.
The building of a line from Valdez
would mean the expenditure of every
dollar for new construction and would
add to the development of Alaska by
giving more miles of railroad than
could be possible under any plan of
purchasing existing lines.
VALDEZ SAW MILL
HAS STUDIED.UP
Will Keep Busy for the Season—Yard
is Almost Depleted of Stock
and Plan Long Run.
The Valdez sawmill, operated by
the Copper River Lumber company,
started up at noon today and com
menced the work of filling up the de
pleted stock in the yard. The demand
last winter for lumber has been ex
ceptionally heavy and the yard has
been almost cl ared of stock sizes.
The big rafts of logs are now In the
boom and more are expected shortly.
Manager Finical stated to a rep
resentative of the Prospector that the
company planned to carry a larger
stock than ever before in the his
tory of the company and would work
until late in the fall.

WORCESTER, Mass., April 28.—
That William A. Stowe, of Worces
ter, owes a fifteen-year alimony bill,
amounting to 32,423.78, to his former

;pay the bill.
