ALASKA ENGINEERING COM.
Fairbanks—The Alaska Engineer
ing Commission recently sent up
from Healy or Nenana checks aggre
gating $9,937.60 for which they ask
ed the First National Bank to send
them money as usual. Vice Presi
dent Hutchinson and an assistant
counted out the amount in bills and
silver and bound it in packages, the
silver in a sack by itself, put all in
the regular canvas sack, sealed it
with a lead seal and sent it to the
postoffice for transmission through
the mails to Nenana.
When the mail reached Nanana
and was checked up the package was
receipted for ns having been “re
ceived in bad order." The robber
had unraveled the end of the canvas
sack, taken out the $!>,900 in bills
and pinned up the sack with a nail.
No records was kept of the bills and
their numbers and somebody today
has a lot of ready money.

a passenger aboard the Admiral Wat
son en route to Detroit, Mich., where
he has been summoned by Henry

also suggestions relative to govern
ment steamship lines from Seattle to
Alaska, especially in connection with
the government railroad.
“Mr. Ford has also asked me to

say along that line."
From reliable sources it is said
Mr. Drayton will be an anti-bureau
cratic candidate for delegate to Con
gress to succeed Dan Sutherland.
