EIDE INSPECTS
ROAD WORK IN
UPPERCOUNTRY
Extensive Improvements Being Made
by Alaska Road Commision
Near Matanuska
Anton Eide, superintendent of wag
on road work for the Alaska Road
Commission in this section, is now
making a tour of the proposed road
work in the Cache creek district, with
Ross Kenny. Before returning Eide
will ask for bids on the eight miles j
of wagon road from Paimer tc Mile
J(;12 on the Knik-Willow creek road.
Kenny returned to Anchorage re-1
eently from the Matanuska farming I
district where he surveyed the Palm
er road and set the center stakes.
The road will be twenty feet wide and
traverses a thickly-settled farming
community.
* i
The contract calls for stumpage,
stripping the moss and putting the
road in shape for grading. Bids will
be asked for within a few days and
the contract let at once so that the
road can be put in first-class condition
for travel as soon as possible.
The route of the road was selected
only after careful investigation with
the view of serving the most farmers
and at the same time along practical
building lines. Kenny reports that the
farmers are universally satisfied with
the route and the attitude of the
Alaska Road Commission in the en
deavors to give the community better
wagon road facilities.
Work on the Knik-Willow creek
road is progressing and the work is
of a substantial and permanent na
ture. There is a great deal of work to
be done on this road, said Kenny, but
every effort will be exerted to put the
road in shape for the heavy fall
freighting.
Kenny will leave in a few days for
Talkeetna and select the route for the
wagon road into the Cache creek dis
trict. The commision will spend in
the neighborhood of $5,000 in prelimi
nary work in the Cache creek district
this season and are prepared to do a
large amount of necessary work next
year, starting as early as convenient.

national prominence in the Methodist
Episcopal Church and officers of the
American Red Cross, Bishop Thomas
Nicholson, president of the board of
Sunday schools of the Methodist
Church, formally presented a draft for
$100,000 to the American Red Cross,
through Eliot Wadsworth, of the war
council, yesterday. The presentation
took place on the steps of t?he na
tional headquarters of the American
Red Cross .

Point is now in operation.
SHORTAGE OF
LABOR NOTED
The steam shovel at Indian creek
on Turnagain arm, working in com
pact clay and gravel, is making good
progress. Considering the shortage of
labor, al Istation contractors, with one
or two exceptions, are making satis
factory headway. Three eight-hour
shifts are working on the south end
of the big cut at Sheep creek, and one
shift is engaged on the north end.
Most of the material excavated is re
quired on the fill south of the cut.
Between Potter creek and Mile 100
a Commission force of thirty men is
raising fills which had settled since
first placed. At Mile 99 construction
work was delayed somewhat through
a part of the forie being engaged in
dismantling the hoist engine and boil
er and transferring it to a barge for
shipment. A piledriver is being as
sembled at Anchorage shops and will
be used in driving the Indian creek
bridge.
All clearing tas been practically
completed within the district.

RAILROAD NOTES
The employees of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission at Nenana have j
formed a labor union. At a meeting
recently held in the Commission ma
chine shops at that place the organ-;
ization was completed and the union
started off with a membership of 1(>0.
The sixth gang of stationmen has
been put at work between Girdwood
and Mile 70, a mile and a half of line
in that section being now covered.
THREE MEN ON
RAFUPIASH
Max Rurber, John Flanagan and
Henry Lundgren, employees of the
Commission at Indian river, decided
recently to do a little navigating of
their own down the Susitna. The trio
wanted to get to Dead Horse Hill the
quickest way, and no boat being due
for some time, decided to build a raft
and float down stream.
They cut a few green spruce logs,
made an unstable, norrow raft and
figured that they were ready to sail.
Though the deck of the raft was
awash without any load, they threw
on their bedding and baggage and
without waiting to eat dinner or take
food aboard, took to the stream.
Assistant Superintendent Reiske
left down river next day in a row
boat and he had gone only a short
distance when he saw distress signals
on shore. He put in to the shore and
met the three navigators wet and
hungry and without raft or posses
sions. They had been shipwrecked on
a bar and were obliged to swim ashore
in the cold, swift current. Mr. Reiske’s
arrival was very welcome to the men,
who were lost and would have suffered
| without food.
j With Reiske’s assistance the men
were put on the trail to Dead Horse
Hill and they made the rest of the
. trip on foot.

[mining notes!
It is expected that the output of
placer tin from the Seward Peninsu
la this year will reach a total of 800
tons.
Theodore Matheson, of Gidlund &
Co., while being lowered down a shaft
on their property on Spruce Creek, in
the Kuby district, with a load of tim
ber, fell a distance of twenty-five feet
to the bottom of the shaft. He was
unconscious when picked up, and died
the following day from injuries with
out having regained consciousness.
—<►—
Henry Emhard, of Anchorage, has
taken^over the Pearl Group of claims
on Archangel creek, in the Willow
creek section, and will soon let a con
tract for 150 feet of development
work. The property covers a vein of
free-milling ore, three feet in width,
an assay of which gave returns of
$5(i per ton.

Everyone in the Tolovana district
has been sluicing, and in most in
stances the cleanups have considerab
ly exceeded expectations. Fontas &
McKinnon recovered some $19,000 in
the first cleanup, to their pleasant sur
prise; Charles Craig recovered much
more than he anticipated; the Love
lease showed up amazingly well; the
Dutch Kid (Albin Martin) had more
than he counted on, even considering
the huge pans he found at first, run
ning from $25 to $95 each. Sampson
& Colbert rather exceeded their ex
pectations. The McIntosh boys, after
two years of working like beavers, are
now in most excellent pay, as good as
any on the creek. From Franklin gulch
up Livengood there is great industry,
as well as on the left limit pups, and
if the water continues condescending,
Livengood will wind up with a grand
finale this fall. Help is very scarce,
and the town is frequently combed for
men to work on the claims.
BARGE BRINGS
GRAOESPREADER
The Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion tug Annie VV. is clue today with
a 400-ton lighter on which a spreader
from the Panama work is being trans
ferred from the central division to
Seward.
The barge will take back a cargo
of 56-pound rail from the old Alaska
Northern line, which will be used on
sidings. This rail was taken up on
the Mile 12 hill and replaced by heav
ier steel. Its use on the central divi
sion saves using the 70-pound rail
where the lighter will serve the same
purpose.
