WASILLA IS
BUSY PLACE
A second side-track will be lhid at
Wasilla in the near future, it is re
ported, to accommodate the many
warehouses along the right-of-way.
'This being the nearest station to the
Willow Creek district, is, and will con
tinue to be. a traffic center.
Howard Wilmoth, the Wasilla mer
chant, has completed the erection of
a warehouse on the right-of-way of
the railroad. The building’s dimen
sions are 24 by 40 feet. It will be
used to store merchandise and mining
supplies.
Captain Mears of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, and family, so
journed at Wasilla a couple of days
last week. While the captain was
there he tried his luck fishing in Wa
silla lake and met with tine success.
EDES' PARTY
AT FAIRBANKS
A telegram from William C. Edes,
chairman of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, announces the arrival of
his party at Fairbanks Monday and
that they will go at once to Nenana,
to remain there several days. In the
party with Mr. Edes are Andrew
Christensen, manager of the land and
industrial department; W. J. H. Fo
gelstrom, bridge engineer, and C. L.
Mason, secretary to Mr. Edes.
While at Nenana, Edes will confer
with Commissioner Thomas Riggs, jr.
The results of this year’s work will j
be done over and estimates made of
the needs of the northern end of the
government railroad for the coming
year. Mr. Edes will make out his bud
get for the Nenana end from data ob
tained on this trip.
Mr. Fogelstrom is along to examine
the bridge work on the Tananu Val
ley railroad, recently taken over by the

_A
ALIEN ARRESTED AT
N EN A NA HEADQUARTERS
Charged with making anti-con
scription utterances, Renne Lheuellier
was taken into custody at Nena by
Deputy Marshal Jim Hagen early this
month and lodged in the federal jail.
He is to be sent to Fairbanks, where
he will be interned with the remain
der of the aliens who are now being
held there by the government officials.
From papers taken from the accused
at the time of his arrest it is learned
that he had been interned at Dawson
as a German subject. Just how he
made his escape is not stated.

BIG WATER TANK
IS NEARLY COMPLETE
The SO.000 g d!on water service tank
that has been in process of assembling
on Government hill at Anchorage, is
practically completed and as soon as
the necescsary pipe arrives from Se
attle. will be put into use, serving the
Commission reserve with water. The
tank was erected on force account by
the maintenance of way department.
TRAINS RUN TO
POTTER CREEK
“
Beginning last week regular service
between Anchorage and Potter was
instituted and trains running Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday morn
ings, will run to the present end of
steel at the north end of Turnagain
Arm. The first train into Potter was
run last Saturday.
In a few days, however, rail work
will be pushed beyond Potter for
about four miles.
Virtually all rock work and grad
ing for that distance have been com
pleted and little delay is expected in
placing the rail.
On/ the branch line, steel has been
laid to Chickaloon river, one and one
half miles from the proposed terminus
at Chickaloon. The remaining dis
tance will not be tracked until the
water in the river subsides sufficient
ly to allow the completion of the
bridge.
At present the ri^er is swift and as
the need for train service into Chick
aloon at once is not imperative, the
bridge forces have bep ordered to
wait for more fa'vorable working con
ditions.
On the main line the rail is being
laid west from Houston and as the
bridges are fairly well along, progress
is expected to be rapid. The grade
toward Talkeetna is well advanced
and officials in charge of the track
work have hopes of reaching Talkeet
na before winter. Present plans in
dicate an effort will be made to con
nect the steel to that point this fall.

“POCKET THE
SUGAR” FAD
IN LONDON
Diners-Out Take Extra Sweet Stuff
Against Day When There
May be None
# _____
LONDON', Aug. 10, (By Mail).—
Diners-out in London are regularly
engaged just now in a practice which
is known as “pocketing the sugar."
The idea is to lay up a supply of
sweetening for a day when it may be
harder to obtain or, on the part of
non-sugar-eating individuals, for their
friends who like more than they are
allowed. The custom is practised all
over the city and in all classes of
places where tea and food are served.
German submarines lately seem to
have been especially active against
ships that happened to be ’carrying
sugar, with the result that, while
there is enough to go around, the sup
plies for the distant future are none
too large. Tea and coffee are served
with just the allowed weight of sugar,
usually set alongside the cups in sep
arte containers and usually consist
ing of halves or thirds of lumps. It
is these pieces of lumps that most
often are seen disappearing into the
gold, silver and leather handbags of

The United Iron Works at Juneau
were recently sold to Messrs. Carpen
ter and St. Clair, well known machin
ists of that city.
Every member of the Southeast
Alaska Fish and Game Club, which
now has 228 members, has been ap
pointed as a deputy game warden and
will help to enforce the game laws
of that district.
Judge Jennings recently granted all
the applications for liquor licenses in
the City of Douglas, with one excep
tion. The Opera House Bar, which
has been in business for years, was
protested against as being within the
prohibited distance of a church.

Captain Daniel D. Pullen, Corps of
Engineers from Alaska, is relieved
from duty at the United States Mili
tary Academy, West Point, N. Y., and
is assigned to the Seventh Engineers,
to take effect August 28, 1917, and
will then proceed to join that regi
ment at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
According to a report received at
the Marshal’s office at Fairbanks, a
number of natives at Fort Yukon se
cured a supply of hootch and started
a celebration that brought them to
the attention of the federal authori
ties. Fourteen of both sexes, were
arrested and one of the number is held
on the additional charge of supplying
the hootch.
More than 125 Anchorage men re
sponded enthusiastically to the call
for Home Guard recruits in the Pio
neer hall, August 25th, and pledged
themselves to take up arms and drill
in preparation for home defense. The
meeting was addressed by Captain F.
Mears, commissioner; Captain L. I).
Davis, commanding A company, and
Robert H. Scott, field organizer for
the Rod Cross.

the women and the waistcoat pockets
of the men.
Sugar served for berries or other
food is hard to pocket. Nearly al
ways it is of the crude variety and
very sticky; but collectors of sugar
even carry off this kind with them;
having a convenient envelope or a lit
tle cloth bag ready for it.
Lump sugar is much more popular,
however, and in the mesh bags of
women in London's streets and ho
tels the white cubes, or pieces of them,
can be seen mingling with keys, treas
ury notes, odd change, powder puffs
and other things.
A new arrival in London who does
not take sugar in his or her tea is
sure quickly to be asked to “save up’
for some friend with a so-called sweet
tooth.
