It is stated that the road commission ,
will not allow heavy trucks to operate
on the roads this year, the Valdez

I auto trucks last year. The N. C.

The salmon canneries of Alaska
contend that the application of an 8

Alaskan, who is represented as having

the passing of the law by congress in
the hope of inducing the national law
makers to empower the territorial
legislature to handle the matter.

ka; there’s a warm spot in it for you.”j
Within the heart is the Moose emblem
and the number of the Fairbanks i
lodge. The skin will form a part of'
the decoration or the boys’ dormi-,
tory.
A letter received at Dawson from
