WORKING ON ROAD
ON COOK INLET
The Alaska Road commission has
started a crew of men building a road
between the town of Uliamna, on Cook
Inlet to Uliamna lake. The old trail
between the town and the lake was a
difficult one and the road is a much
needed one. 1 he route from llliamna
to the lake, down the lake and the
Kvichak river is a short and much
traveled one, cutting off many miles
from the steamer route from this sec
tion to Rristol Ray districts.

MEXICO WANTS TO Bl’Y
CORN FROM UNITED STATES
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15, (By Mail)
fht* Committee of the National Cham

sidering ways and means for raising
money to purchase 1,0011,000 bushels
of corn in the United States and bring
it to Mexico where it will be sold at
cost for the benefit of the poor, has
decided that the most feasible means
to raise the money is by popular na
tional subscription.
The National Chamber of Com
merce at first asked the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States to aid
in establishing a credit for this pur
pose but the American organization
was unable to do so. The Commis
sion Regulating the Sab* and Price of

CAM FOKNIAN RETURNS* TO
AMERICA WITH HONORS
Captain Gay, Who Brought Down Six
German Airships, to Instruct
Young Aviators
AN ATLANTIC PORT, Sept. 20.—
Captain Alfred Gay, of San Francis
co, an officer in the aviation corps of
the French army, is credited with
bringing down six German planes. He
is the one of the seven officers who
returned to this country to help train
the new soldiers of Uncle Sam. Cap
tain Gay will use his experience on
the battlefront in giving training in
one of the camps for American avi
ators.
The aviation branch is proving very
popular and many applications are
coming in for enlistment which cannot
be accepted. The need for proficient
teachers for the boys already in camp,
led to getting some of the best Amer
ican flyers abroad to come home and
teach them.

The assessment of property within
the Anchorage school district has been
completed by James A. Wilkinson, as
sessor for the board and an approxi
mate valuation of $2,000,000 placed
upon the property. The tax for school
purposes is intended to raise $10,000,
so jl levy of five mills will be laid.
The bodies of two natives were re
cently brought to Nenana for burial.
The deaths occurred at nearby camps,
the victims being a girl and a
man. A double funeral was held at
the mission cemetery, followed by na
tive ceremonials, which lasted well
into the night.
The Juneau land office recently is
sued certificates for six fishing siu-«
on Bering sea and along the Alaskan
peninsula, four going to the Alaska
Packers’ company and one each to the
Pacific American Fisheries Company
and the Northwest Fisheries Com
pany.
The first Washington man drafted
in Juneau was Fred Stathham, repre
sentative of the American Paper Co.
He was forced to hurry up his work
in order to cover the rest of the ter
ritory. He had no idea of having to
fight, but he said that he was advised
that his number was the first drawn
in the state.
James Williams, known in the early
days as Electric Light Williams, ha^
been asked for and anyone knowing
of his whereabouts will confer a fa
vor by communicating with the First
National Bank of Fairbanks.
Chas. Kircheimer, of Juneau, de
cided to run McGrath’s new delivery
car around town. He started it sue
eessfully and shortly put on more gas.
- Finally tiring of the monotony In* de
cided io furnish some excitement, so
ran the car over a bank. No injur
ies resulted to either the car or the
occupant.
Because he stated that Governor
Strong and Charles E. Davidson erred
I in attempting to give a certificate ot
! election to James Wickorsham, Joseph
* Snow, special agent for the suppres
sion of the liquor traffic among the |
Indians of Southeastern Alaska, has|
been removed from his position by the j
governor and John F. McDonald, for
mer game warden, has been appoint
ed to succeed him.
Frank Carpenter, in a recent ar
ticle for the Outside papers,, makes
the following statement regarding
Alaska’s timber possibilities: “The
j timber of the interior is of little value
| compared with that of the coast, the
majority of it being used for firewood.
Fairbanks is now heated with wood
and also most of the Tanana valley j
homes. There are three sawmills in
Fairbanks, each having a daily ca
pacity of 20,000 board feet.”
Dr. C. G. Maule, formerly a mem
ber of the Territorial Dental Board, is
being held at Juneau and will be ex
amined as to his sanity. He recent-;
ly returned from a trip to the States,
since when he has been acting queer
ly. He recently became so bad that
it was feared that he would harm
some one. Dr Maule suffered from
similar trouble some years ago but
completely recovered his mental pow
ers.
