Candle, Alaska, Aug. 1.
The Alaska Road Commission
have sent some of their men up
here to look over the headway made
on the road work and it seems to be
very satisfactory as far as we know.
Pilot Chester Brown left this morn
ing early for Deering and all the
towns over that way. He had some
salesmen with him who are plann
ing on covering all of this Northern
territory.
The Arctic Circle Exploration Co.
dredge is working and the tailing
piles are surely showing up. This
is the first time for years that a
dredge has been so close to town
and everyone is finding it interest
ing to watch. We are so glad that
everything is working out so nicely.
The season promises to be a rainy
one and there is an abundance of

water for everyone.
Mining is going on at Jump creek
and Wm. French has had some very
promising clean-ups so far. Also T.
P. Roust has been doing a lot of
planning on drilling and opening-up
his ground on the same creek. He
is also putting up a very nice build
ing adjoining his road house.
Magids Bros, are fixing up a very
modern store and expect to be ready
to move in shortly. It will be light
ed by electricity and they have a
new talky picture machine that will
be installed this fall. Candle has
been without a movie for many
years and this will be a treat to all.
All in all much building and fixing
up of houses will keep this camp
busy all fall and far into the winter.
The Arctic Circle Exploration Co.
also have been doing extensive work
on Candle Creek and the new Scra
per is certainly digging up the
country side. Ditches seem to be
just child’s play for that big shovel
and it is wonderful to see it work.
The company are hurrying up the
new bunk house and also a new
house for the Hellerich family. They
will be here this fall and we hope
the Hellerich family will like Can
dle.
The auction sale of Ben Easley’s
household goods has just been com
pleted and we all hope that the pro
ceeds will go to help Mrs. Easley
who is now left alone. Also a sub
scription was taken up here and the
response was much appreciated. A
money order was then sent out and
we feel sure that Mrs. Easley will
appreciate the Candle spirit. We
all wish to send our sincerest wishes
and to express our deep sympathy
to the bereaved widow and child
who are living in Seattle with the
widow's parents.
There has been quite a lot of air
plane activities here lately. The
NAT having merged with Wien Air
ways accounts for this as they were
looking over the field here. Pilot
Noel Wien, his brother, and Mana
ger Vic Ross made a trip here bring
ing passengers and mail for Candle
and way stations. Mrs G. Hellerich
was a round trip passenger and she
; had a good chance to look us over
and I think that she will feel that
jthis will be quite a nice place to
live in. Candle will enjoy having
her here also and the children will
like it here too, me feel sure.

There was a very high tide here
a few days ago. Keewalik exper
ienced a very nasty time as the
water was too high for comfort. The
warehouses had water come in and
much goods were damaged. Also
the freight boats were driven out to
sea and boats were considerably
damaged. So far the damage done
has not been estimated but it cer
tainly was a very unusual thing to
occur at this time of the year. The
old timers claim that such high
water has not happened here for
many many years.
