HAPPY IS NOW BIGGEST
CAMP ON FAIRBANKS END
About 110 men are working on rail
road construction work at Happy
creek where the government railroad
line joins the line of the Tanana Val
ley railroad, and accordingly Happy
is believed to be the biggest single
construction camp in the interior. Of
this number of men, fifty-six are grad
ing contractors, while the remainder
are men in the employ of the com
mission.
Thirty-four contracts for grading
on this end of the line have been let,
according to reports, and, working
by twos, threes and fours, the con
tractors are daily throwing up the five
miles of grade on which steel is ex
pected to be laid before thf* coming ot
extremely cold weather.
There are no large contracts, each
sot of contractors being given a few
hundred foot of work to do. 1 his is
in accordance with the policy first an
nounced by Commissioner Kiggs. And
the representatives of the commission
are seeing that the work »s gc»ng on
apace to the satisfaction of everybody
I concerned. The only trouble met with
by the contractors is “live” ground—
ground which is always shaky, never
solid. The policy of letting small con
tracts has been found to got the best
results for the reason that the com
mission perfors to lot small contracts
and many of them, getting the work
finished quickly in this manner.
Along part of the grade which has
already been finished, the driving of
trestle supporting timbers is now go
ing on. Therefore, after the caps a it
on and the ties distributed, the line
will he ready for the steel for approx
imately one and one-quarter miles out
of Happy station.

BELATED SEWARD MAIL
FINALLY REACHES IDITAROD
A consignment of mail which was
dispatched from Seward during the
last week in April reached Iditarod
last Saturday. .It was the last con
signment of the winter service, and
because the carriers failed to meet at
the connecting point it lay in the road
house for a month or so while official
red tape at Washington was unwound
! sufficiently to allow orders to be issued
to the contractor at Seward to rescue
the mail bags and take them back to
Seward and reship them by way of
Skagway, Whitehorse and the Yukon.
Much of this mail matter was sec
ond-class, and showed the effects of
hard usuage, and apparently had been
frequently submerged in water.
It is quite likely that some inter
! esting, though annoying, business
complications were attributable to this
delayed mail, as many patrons of the
offices here had almost forgotten about
its existence, or if they remembered,
probably thought it had be*m lost.—
Iditarod Pioneer.

All Alaska News :
The records of the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission show that the
merchants of Fairbanks are profiting
by the activities of the commission
to the extent of about $a,00 weekly,
the commission spending about that
amount with the merchants in the pur
chase of supplies.
According to a report reeciVed at
the marshals office at Fairbanks,
mining activities in the Tanana Hot
Springs district have been seriously
hampered this season by the opera
tion c ? the 8-hour law. A number
of the plants have shut down and oth
j ers have worked with a decreased out
fit.
——
A report from the Hot Springs dis
trict of the Tanana states that LVuM
er creek, which was staked several
years ago and allowed to lapse, was
the scene of a strike last fall and win
ter, with the result that about forty
men have been employed there this
i summer.
Judge Alfred S. Moore, formerly
Judge of the District Court for the
Second Division at Nome, is visiting
in Anchorage. His home is in Heaver,
Pennsylvania, where is is engaged in
the practice of law.
George Morrison, who has the larg
est and best equipped fox ranch in the
Tanana Valley, reports that he has
had the most successful season since
he started in 1913. Forty-nine black
and silver fox pups were whelped on
his ranch this season and he saved 95
per cent of them.
Word has been received at Nenana
that Frederick ft. Coudert, a brother
of Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr., has been
decorated with the cross of the Legion
' of Honor by the French government
Mr. Coudert has been acting as tin* le
gal representative of the French gov
ernment in the United States lor sev
eral years.

John Rolla, a section foreman cm
the Tanana Valley railroad, died re
cently in the St. Joseph’s hospital in
Fairbanks from the effects of wounds
received when a small gasoline cat
on which he was riding jumped the
track. Rolla’s neck and back were
broken and his tenth rib was broken
and punctured his lung.
Miss Helen Denny, one of a party |
of Juneau people, while coming down
from an ascent of Mount Juneau, lost
her footing on a large snow slide and
slid down the slide about 250 yards,
bringing up against a large rock,
which was all that saved her from go
ing over a precipice just beyond. She
was not badly injured, and when res- j
cued was able to make her way back 1
to town.
