RUBY PAPER DEFENDS
COLONEL RICHARDSON
Ruby apparently has the same old
political tight against Colonel Rich
ardson that every other camp where
Delegate Wickersham is strong has
to put up with. The Ruby Record-Citi- j
zen, which has always boosted Wick
ersham, comes out in a long editorial
in its issue of September 16 showing
that the tight against Colonel Richard
son is due to partisanship for Wicker
sham, just as it is everywhere else.
The following is part of the editorial
in question:
“The town of Ruby wishes and the
creeks lying back of it imperatively
need a trunk road to connect with the
government rai’way; and through the
working of various influences the Al
aska Roatl Commission is considering
the building of such a roatl. and now, i
at the very commencement of the
work we regret to find the partisans
of our present delegate to congress
attacking the road commission in con
nection with the work.
“An engineer is in the field with
a force to determine the feasibility
and route for an extension of the
Kuby-l/Ong road to Ophir and all the
work is being pushed rapidly to com
pletion. Whatever our grievances
may have been in the past, we have
none this year against the Alaska
Road Commission nor against Col.
Richardson, and we are mindful that
after five years of importunity and
necessity our delegate to Congress
waited four years to introduce his
first bill to relieve our distress, and
we deprecate and deplore this atttack
on the Road Commission, which we
cannot but feel is uncalled for and
purely political ami may be very
detrimental to the work we need so
badly.”

t ANSWER TO SLANDERS
Fairbanks, Sept. 15. 1D16.
Estev, Ruby, Alaska:
Fifteen hundred dollars allotted for
Jackson survey. This is additional.
SOMMERS.
The above telegram was received
yesterday by Wan! Kstey, disbursing
officer for the Alaska Hoad Commis
sion, and his reference to the survey
for the Kuby-Kuskokwim highway.
Surveyor K. A. Jackson is now in the
field and intends pushing the prelim
inary survey as far as possible before
severe cold weather sets in. ’lhis
will be a hard blow to the skeptics
ami may induce them to become
boosters. That the Hoad Commission
is sincere in its efforts to give good
roads to this district there is no pos
sible doubt, and a boost from a unit- j
ed community will not be amiss at1
this time.
It will be noted that the money j
allotted for the survey is additional,
leaving the $70,000 to be expended on
the Ruby-Long road.—Ruby Kecord
Citizen.

RECORD TRIP IS MADE BY A
MAIL AUTO FROM COAST
FAIRBANKS.—Two days and nine
hours from Valdez to Fairbanks, stops
included, is the record established by
the mail stage which reached Fair
banks last evening at (> o’clock. The
stage waited in Valdez until the mail
had been taken from the steamer Ala
meda, and then left with all the first j
class mail that the vessel carried for
Interior Alaska.
Leaving Valdez at 9 o’clock on
Monday morning, the stage came
through to Paxson’s with Erickson at
the wheel. From Paxson’s to Fair-j
banks, Hill was in charge of the ma
chine.
The trip was without incident. Two
way passengers were picked up at j
Paxson’s.
This is a new record. Grover
Frame established the record between
Valdez and Fairbanks some two years
ago. It has never been broken by one
car and driver, but for elapsed time
between the two towns, the trip made
by the mail is a record breaker.—Ex.

Bert Anderson started raising the
bodies in the different boneyards to
day. City Magistrate Booker accom
panied him during the first exhuming
operation and noted the peculiar fact
that the dead man’s whiskers had
grown about six inches since his buri
al. It is said, though, that it is not
an unusual occurrence for beard to
grow on a dead one. When George
Phelps heard this he made a sarcastic
remark about Mr. Justice Hughes.
