QUIT CONTRACT
AT BIRD POINT
Rock Hard to Handle Along Arm— j
Contractors lTse Powder in
Quantities
Teko & Co .abandoned their contract
at Bird Point on June IS . A small1
camp has been established at that
place ami the work will be completed
by a Commission force. "Phis camp
will be known as No. 82.
The station contractors in general
are making satisfactory progress. V.
Picogno & Co. put off a successful
coyote shot at Bird Creek during the
week, moving 2f>00 cubic yards of rock
with 5000 pounds of black powder. A.
Hall & <fcCo., Bostrom & Co., and
Anderson iV: Co., contractors between
McHugh Creek and Sheep Creek, put
off small coyote shots which were also
successful. Chas. Larson & Co., at
Station 2518, south of Sheep Creek,
moved about 7000 yards of rock \\ ith
5000 pounds of powder; Lake & Co., at
Station 2554, north of Sheep Creek,
moved 2000 yards with 5750 pounds of
powder; and Prezinos & C o., at Station
2574, north of Sheep Creek, moved 2,
400 yards with 2350 pounds of powder.
Considering the three-mile haul
made by the dinkey trains ,the steam
shovel at Rabbit is handling a satis
factory amount of material.
At the close ot the week ot June
23, 1172 employes were on the payrolls
of the district, classified as follows:
Stationmen 556, stationmen’s laborers
136, Commission force 480.
Two 4x4 log culverts, one at Station
1745 plus 50 and the other at Station
1740, were completed during the pe
riod.
The clearing work south of Bird
Point has been handicapped somewhat
on account of the great care neces
sary to be exercised by the contractors
while burning brush. Several fires
started during the week, all of which
were brought under control without
much delay or damage.

ACREAGE
Having for sale at a most reason
able price some of the choicest land in
Resurrection Valley I therefore invite
inquiries, from those that contem
plate the purchase of any number of
acres. The success with which all of
those w'ho have already bought
acreage in the Ole Martin homestead
are meeting in cultivating these lands
is the best evidence you can secure of
what the soil can do.

PAINT PRICES NOT
AMONG H. C. OF L. LIST
Walter DeLong, storekeeper for the
Commission at Anchorage, has just re
ceived a copy of Daubs of Paint, a
monthly paint bulletin, in which prices
of paints and supplies in 188G and
1917 are compared. Every item is
shown to have decreased since the
time of the Civil War, and the sched
ule is intended to show that the cry
of high prices today is not wholly jus
tified. Raw linseed oil has dropped
from $1.95 to $1.80, boiled linseed is
$1.32 against $2.00, castor oil is $2.30
against $3.10 fifty years ago, turpen
tine is now 58 cents and was $1.20,
and white lead sells for 12 cents,
whereas it was 19 cents. The prices
compared with the present were quot
ed from August 2, 18GG.

CONTRACTOR ON MATANUSKA
LINK HURT BY BLAST
Frank O’Shea, a work train conduc
tor on the Matanuska branch, had his
jaw broken by a flying rock from a
blast on the afternoon of June 28th
while at work near Station 1155. The
accident occurred while a crew was
blasting ahead of steam shovel No. 1.
O’Shea was about 350 feet distant
from the shot when it exploded, ordin
arily far enough away to be safe. Im
mediately after the injury he was tak
en to the field surgeon, and later
brought to Anchorage Hospital for
treatment.

MRS. RIGGS RED
CROSS WORKER
Secures Many Members During Cam
paign at Nenana In Past
Month
That Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr., is
some Red Gross worker is demonstrat
ed by the fact that she is inducing
practically every Nenana resident to
become a member of the Red Cross so
ciety . She was appointed as chairman
of the Red Cross committee for Ne
nana and 100 of the tags were sent to
her, with the expectation that she
could not use more than that, but she
telephoned today to the officials of the
Women’s Loyal League of the Tanana
Valley, saying that she had disposed
of the hundred tags and asked for 200
more. They are being printed and will
be dispatched to her immediately.
