At Station N (>S80, on Rice & Co.’s

in the swamp through which the line J
passes. A force was immediately set
to work to repair the damage, placing
a nil at a lower level tluin that of the
old line. The sinking of the till is not
expected to delay tradio more than a
dav or two.
The grade has been practically com-j
pleted to a point 1*2 miles north of j
Willow creek. The contractors have
finished their work with the excep
tion of digging ditches and cleaning
up the right-of-way.
Piledriver No. 1 has completed the
driving of all structures to a point
one mile north of Williow creek. The
driver was put out of commission on
September S by tipping over on the j
grade, but should be ready to resume j
work by the lOth or 11th.
Piledriver No. 2 has completed the |
driving of the north abutment of the j
Kashwitna structure and at the close |
of the period was engaged fn driving
the false work for the main span.
All streams crossed by the main line;

No damage has been caused so far,

M. A. Pinska, it developed in the
commissioner’s court in Fairbanks,
has so many homes that he cannot
establish a legal residence. Mr. Pin
ska is one of the heaviest individual
taxpayers of Fairbanks and he lives
there about four months in the year.
For about an equal length of time
each year he lives in Dawson, attend
ing to business there. For one month
of the year he resides with his mother,
brothers and sisters in St. Paul, Min
nesota, during which time he is buy
ing for his northern establishments.
The remainder of the year he is in
New York, San Francisco and other
places. He keeps on the move so much
that he does not know where his legal
residence is. He has property in sev
eral places; has homes established in
all of them and he asked the court to
solve the question of where he does
live. He has never been in any of
the places long enough to vote so that
his residence could not be established
in that way. The court held that lie
was not such an inhabintant of Fair
banks to permit him to serve on a
jury.
Captain A. E. Wadhnms, who for
many years was general manager of
the Kasaan cannery of the Gorman
interests, has completed arrangements
for the construction of a cannery for
the Linderberger interests in Tcnakee
inlet, where the Robertson cannery is
now located. Captain Wadhams has
been scouting for nearly a month in
the Juneau section locating fish trap
sites, contracting for piling and con
struction lumber, and has already
dosed contracts so that work can be
carried on for tho erection of the can
nery wharf and building during the
winter months.

GERMANY NEEDS CORK
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Sept. 22.—Cork is at a
premium in Germany, as the country does not produce
any and the entente blockade has interrupted all chan
| nels of supply. Used corks, especially those of champagne
bottles, are eagerly purchased and bring high prices.
Two chemists of Plauen, Saxony, have applied for a
patent for making artificial cork from a tough species oi
toadstools, which grow in profusion in Saxon forests.
