pleasure trip.
Municipal block will be enclosed by
a three-foot board fence in order to
keep human and animal traffic off the
government garden and a force of
men is now working on the job.
Word was received from Seward
late yesterday evening that Gaston
Hardy of the Harriman bank, was af
flicted with a stroke of paralysis yes
terday and his condition is serious.
R. H. Mims left on the morning
train for Eska creek where he will be
employed as bookkeeper by the gov
ernment which has recently taken over
the Eska Creek Coal company mines
on a two year lease.
After enjoying a vacation of sev
eral months Col. C. S. Sapp has re
sumed his connection with the Alas
kan u :gineering Commission and will
act as purser of the steamer Omineca
for the ensuing year.
Erwin E. Wright, son of J. W.
Wright, foreman on the Daily Times,
has secured a position with the gov
ernment as checker at the Eska Creek
coal mines, recently acquired by the
j Alaskan Engineering Commission.
Frank Scott, brother of Pat Scott.
| formerly athletic instructor for the
Seattle Athletic club and B. P. O. E.,
; is a recent arrival in Anchorage to ac
cept a position as engineer on one of
the new gas boats.
B. C. Xicholls, the jeweler, has been

ment to inspect the watches of all

Attorney Leon Booker has made
arrangements for a temporary office
in the room adjoining the Alaska

building, and will conduct the busi
ness of the law firm of Ray and Book
er from that office until further no
tice.
Sumner Smith, territorial mining
inspector, was among the guests at
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
| yesterday and made the remark that
he doubted if their was an organiza
I tion in Alaska that could equal the
affair and spoke particularly of the i
J enthusiasm that was evidenced by the
members. Mr. Smith will remain in
Anchorage and vicinity for several
weeks yet and will not make an in
spection of the Willow creek mines
at this time on account of rush work
in other parts of the territory which
will require his attention as soon as
he finishes his work in the coal fields.
It is with sincere regret that The I
Times announces the retirement of
Harry R. Munson from the services of
the Alaska Engineering Commission.
Mr. Munson is one of the oldest em
ployees of the government, in the ac
counting department, and during his
stap in Anchorage has made a host of
friends, who, while they rgret to see
him leave will rejoice to learn that he
has received a more remunerative
position with the contracting firm of
Twohey Bros. Mr. Munson formerly
worked with this firm and will leave
soon for San Diego to take up his new
duties.
Anton Eide, superintendent of the
Alaska road commission, is especially
complimentary in his remarks in re
gard to the condition of the streets and
avenues of Anchorage and said yes
terday that the citizens should appre
ciate the fact that there is possibly
not another town in Alaska that can
boast of such streets. Mr. Eide is
| authority on such matters and it is a
fact that the work being done on the
' streets is praiseworthy. A force cf
men, and the new grader are working
on F street and also on Fifth avenue,
1 which will be worked over the full
length. Other streets and avenues will
receive attention just as soon as pos
sible.
SUPERINTENDENT EIDE
TO LOCATE BRIDGE SITE
Anton Eide, superintendent of the
Alaska road commission for this di
vision, will leave in a few days for
mile 27'2, on the Knik-Willow creek
wagon road, where he will make the
location for the new bridge across the
Little Susitna river. The bridge tim
bers are already on the ground and the
iron in Anchorage awaiting shipment.
It will be a 60-foot, pony truss span,
and construction work will commence
at once on the iron bridge which will
replace the wooden one now in use.
Mr. Eide is stopping at the White
House and will be in Anchorage and
vicinity for a week or ten days, in the
interest of “Good Roads.”
Upon his return Mr. Eide will meet
Col. W. P. Richardson, who is en
route to Alaska from Washington,
where he has spent the past six
months in an official capacity. Mr.
Eide met with a committee from the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon and admitted
that the Alaska road contission fully
intended to do considerable work in
this vicinity this summer. He said
that the many supplications and peti
tions that had gone into the Valdez
office had finally had their intended ef
fect and that the commission fully
realized the condition of the roads and
the great importance of the work.
Mr. Eide is personally familiar with
the conditions and there is no doubt
but that he intends to do all that he is
able to relieve the situation.
EXCURSION TRIPS
BECOMING POPULAR
It is no longer necessary to live in
a community alive with a net work
of railroads in order for the people of
Anchorage to spend a week-end out of
the city, “far from the maddening
crowd.”
In order to give the people an op
portunity to avail themselves of this
pleasure and recreation, the authori
ties of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission have, with their usual consid
eration, made the joyful week-end pos
sible by the recent ruling which in ef
fect is: One fare and one-third for
the round trip will be accepted on Sat
urday morning trains out of Anchor
age to all points on the government
railroad and the tickets good until the
following Monday.” This, of course,
is in addition to the fare and one-third
on the regular Sunday morning train
and gives the people the chance to
spend three days at some of the
numerous points of interst along the
railroad.
J. T. Cunningham, the courteous
chief clerk, reports that the ruling has
become quite popular and many An
chorage people are availing them
selves of this opportunity to spend a
day at the lakes, visiting the different
towns along the line and at the same
time see, at first hand the great work
accomplished by the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission.
REPAIRS ARE BEING
MADE TO THE CABLE
The cable line connecting Alaska
with the outside is temporarily out of
commission, hence the brief telegraph
report available for today’s issue.
Owing to the frequent breaks oc
curring in the vicinity of Yakutat,
where it runs across the fishing
banks, and where the breaks are gen
erally occasioned by fishing boats
catching their anchors in the line, the
Burnside is engaged in relaying a sec
tion in deeper water to prevent a rep
etition of these breaks in the future.
Last evening the cable was lifted, a
new section spliced on and since then
the Burnside has been relaying the
line a considerable distance off-shore.
The new section is 145 miles in
length, and it is expected the work
will be completed some time today.

AMSTERDAM, May 1.—“Will the
American fleet enable our enemies to
break our submarine blockade? The
answer is, certainly not," says the
Koelnische Volks Zeitung, which ad
duces a curious and cumulative argu
ment, which it evidently considers
final, that “the submarine cure has
not been invented. Therefore it can
not be invented because there is
none.”
“It will be painful to us,” the news
paper continues, “to sink good Ger
man ships, but we cannot be senti
mental in this respect, and will dis
pose of America’s seizures in 15 or
20 days. The loss of German capi
tal in that connection will hardly
equal three days of our war expendi
ture.”
The Volks Zeitung next examines
the possibility that the United States
will send a fleet to German ports
and river mouths to attack submar
ines in their home bases, and says
that they will find Germany pre
pared and that the scheme is improb
able, as the United States probably
would avoid any undertaking that
might seriously diminish the number
of her modern fighting ships.
The newspaper then enters into
technical details of American battle
ships, for whose efficiency it shows
respect, although it alleges certain
minor faults. The newspaper cannot
understand the advantages of a trellis
mast.
The number and size of the aux
iliaries to the American navy, such
as colliers and coil ships, is admired
by the Volks Zeitung, but it says that
the greatest American tacital mis
take is the lack of great battle cruis
ers and also of fast scouting vessels,

iority in those arms. The article
boastingly concludes:
“All in all, if our high seas fleet
faced the American fleet in open
battle, we would beat them very
quickly and thoroughly. But this is
unlikely, because, before that is pos
sible, our submarines, with the mail
ed fist, will have imposed a law of
world peace on the enemy and also
on America.”
CHAMBER LUNCHEON
A HARMONIOUS AFFAIR
Yesterday’s Chamber of Commerce
luncheon at the Mint Grill, was the cli
max of this movement which is becom
ing quite popular and results in much
good for the welfare of Anchorage.
In the absence of President O’Reilly
the informal luncheon was presided
over by Dr. J. T. Westermann, who is
an adept in the capacity of chairman.
As is customary at these affairs, the
chairman called upon the different
guests and Wm. C. Edes spoke briefly
on the government railroad work and
Judge Fred M. Brown talked on the
subject of the needs of a federal build
ing for Anchorage. Judge Brown said
that he had already done some work
in this regard, in Anchorage’s behalf,
and stood ready at all times to do
---
everything consistent, in his power for
the movement.
Prof. Herschel F. Parker’s remarks
on the unlimited resources wiftiin a
radius of 200 miles from Anchorage
•were decidedly entertaining as well as
instructive. Prof. Parker is a firm be
liever in this part of Alaska and his
prognostication of the future is espe
cially optimistic. t
To season the affair with humor An
drew Stevenson, in a witty manner,
spoke of local conditions and all four
gentlemen were loud in their praise of
the city of Anchorage and its citizens.
Several of the members joined in the
general subjects of discussion and the
pleasant, profitable hour ended with
everyone imbued with ambition and
determination to work for the welfare
of Anchorage.
