RAILROAD SURVEYORS BUSY
Fairbanks News Tells of Progress of
Baldwin Party
The Fairbanks News gives the lol
fowing account of tIt** progress of the
railroad survey parly which ha* been
working from the Tatiana end of the
line:
■*<;. I.. Raid win. in charge of. lie sur
vey party for the Alaska t'outra’. is in
the city on business. His camp is now
at tin* mouth of the Ncnana ri\: and
about February ll.‘» it will be mo.ed o n
miles Furl Iter up I lie river.
No: sari Mr. Baldwin, in answer to
a question, there is not a single thing;
in tin' way of building a rai1r< i. as
far as we have run lines. T!. *re is
practically no grading, and from all I
can learn then* is but iiit’e grade to
he encountered in ascending the Ncnana
or in descending the Shuslu tna.
••.Mr. Baldwin is working a large]
force, and hopes to get across the divide
before tin* thaw . But for the setback ;
from the cold weather, lie would now
he well up t lie Neliatia river.
••Then is considerable t ravel ■>; >t i lie
surveyors' camp toward the Kautishna.
and more especially towaid the head*
waters of the Totolanika and Nenada.
A number of outfits claimed that they
were headed across the range for the
Shushetna. It is said some fairly good
prospects have been found in the
streams heading in the Alaskan range
from the south, and ’he reported strike
on Valdez creek is attracting others, j
It is expected there will he a heavy
travel over this trail next winter. As
a poling proposition it is not attractive,
and hardly worth the time and labor it
takes to ascend the stream and then to
cross over to the other side."

SAVE YOUR MONEY
There is no excuse for anyone to throw away money at any time or
for any cause. This is just as true in Seward as in any other town.
It is now that time of year when all good housekeepers prepare to
paint and paper their houses. This is a necessity not only for appear
ance hut for cleanliness and health.
In buying your paints theta* are two kinds you may buy: one a cheap,
dirt paint badly mixed and imperfectly ground in poor oil. Such paint
goes on in blotches and soon begins to crack and scale oft leaving tin
wood surface of your bouse muddy and shabby looking.
The other kind of paint is made of t In* best of pigments, t horoughly
ground in the best linseed oil. Such paint goes on smoothly and owing
to its perfect, proportions when spread out on a surface undergoes a
chemical change and forms a flexible, durable, preserving coat to wood.
Now when you buy the poor kind of paint you are only throwing
your money away, but when you buy the other kind, such for instance
as that pul up by the well known WillTTlKK-t'out'it.N <'«>.. you an then
saving your money. For you not only get the value of your money in
paint and oil Iril you are putting a coat on your Jiou.se that will save
the wood from decay, add an hundredfold to its aippearance and >ave
doctor bills.
Now. If you want to save money, buy the WhittikiM'onru.N ( '<».
paints and oils. They arc for sale at I frown I fawkins in am ipiantltv
or any color you may desire.
While you are saving money by purchasing your paints and oils .r
Ifrown liuwkins’ why not do the same by also buying your wallpapia
, there. They have the most complete a soil mint of up-to-date wallpapet
in Seward. Save your money by trading with IflUHVN A Hawkins.
