PAYMENTS ON
TOWNSITE LOTS
__
The Land and Industrial Depart
ment authorizes the following:
For the benefit of the purchasers of
lots within the Federal and UlifT ad
ditions at Seward, who have not yet
paid the full purchase price of lots sold
September 11 and 21, 1916, the Land!
and Industrial Department wishes to j
announce that the second and final
payment on the lots should be made to
the Receiver, U. S. Land Office, Ju-|
neau, Alaska. The payment should
reach the l nited States Land Office
within one year from the date of the
Register’s Certificate of Sale, which
certificate appears at the bottom of
the application to purchase. It is the
custom of the United States Land Of
fice to mail the purchaser an executed
copy of the application to purchase at
the time the application is allowed
by the Register, and the purchaser I
should consult his copy of the appli
cation to ascertain that date, one year
from which his second payment should;
reach the Land Office. If the pur-1
chaser can not locate his copy of the
application, it is suggested that the
payment be* made one year from the
dates of the sale of the lots—Septem
ber 11 and 21, 1916.
In the townsites of Anchorage and!
Matanuska, the regulations require!
that one-third of the amount bid for
any lot be paid at the time of the sale,
and the remainder of the purchase
price is divided into five equal install
ments. payable annually in one, two,
three, four and live years, respective
ly, from the date of the Register’s
Certificate of Sale. These payments
must also be made to the Receiver,
U. S. Land Office, Juneau, Alaska.
The lots sold at Nenana are under
regulations similar to Anchorage and
Matanuska. and the deferred payments
are required to be made in the same
manner, with the exception that as
Nenana is situated within the Fair
banks Land District, the payments
must be made to the Receiver, U. S.
Land Office, Fairbanks, Alaska.

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 15, (By Mail).
—During recent heavy rainstorms
the Nenana river changed its course
and the high water carried out sev
eral bridges and forced the Engineer
ing Commission to blow up one rail
road bridge to prevent further and
more serious damage. The scene of
the disaster was Lost Slough, twenty
miles south of Nenana, where the river
changed its course and so far has
failed to return to its old channel.

KILLED UNDER
GASOLINE GAR
■
FA IR BA NKS, (By M ai 1)J oh n
Uolla, a section foreman of the Ta
nana Valley railroad, was so badly in
jured Saturday evening, August 11th,
by the turning over of a gasoline car
on which he was riding that he died
about G o’clock Sunday morning. He
was coming up from Chena on the lit
tle car, which ran into an open switch
at the junction, turning the car over
on him. It was thought at lirst that
he was merely stunned, but an exam
ination made after he was taken to
the hospital revealed the fact that
his neck had been broken and that a
rib had pierced one of his lungs.
The accident was first discovered by
J. W. Neal, superintendent of the gov
ernment farm, and Andrew Zing, who
is working there. Mr. Neal telephoned
word of the occurrence to town and
Wade H. Joslin, general manager of
the road, accompanied by William
Christiansen, went out and brought
the unfortunate man to the hospital.
Rolla was a professional railroad
workman and had been in the employ
of the Tanana Valley railroad for a
number of year*. He had also worked
on the White Pass & Yukon route.
Practically all of the time he was
working for the T. V. R. R. he held
down a foreman’s position. On the
Outside he had worked on the Great
Northern and other roads.
FARMERS SHOULD ADVERTISE
WARES, HIS ADVICE
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 27.—W. P,
Romans, of the Spokane Chamber ol
Commerce school gardens’ committee,
after a recent automobile trip through
eastern Washington, made the follow
ing suggestion, which, it is under
stood, is to be sent broadcast to com
mercial bodies throughout the United
States:
“All farmers should have bulletir
boards or signs by their mail boxes
along the roads, telling what fruit 01
| vegetables they have for sale. They
| could dispose of hundreds of dollars
worth of their products to the thou
sands of automobile tourists who art
passing daily. Sunday should be i
real day for those who have product
that the tourist can carry back to hit
; city home, knowing that it is fresh
from the farm.”
