NIZINA BRIDGE
SALVAGED
The bills calling for the sal
vaging oi forty five bents of the
Nizina bridge means at least
four thousand dollars saved to
the government and that much
to the credit of a new one, the
prospects for which are very
promising.
Many parties have held back
this year from prospecting the
Chitina river country on ac
count of there being no bridge.
We certainly appreciate any
action taken by the A. R. C. to
wards making crossings on
these dangerous streams fit for
man and beast, and permitting
the development of an inex
haustable area of mineral land.
IS IT NOT SO?
Even though the attendance
at an Arctic Brotherhood meet
is slim and the Commercial
Club meeting is slimmer, there
is a sombre satisfaction in know
ing that should a respected
member suddenly cash in his
checks the organizations would
turn out “en masse.’’
GOVERNOR ASKS FOE
INFORMATION
To prevent the passage of a
bill which is being drafted by
some of onr sporting friends in
the Eastern States to protect
Alaskan bears, the Governor of
Alaska requests that all infor
mation relative to accidents, fa
tal or otherwise, through those
animals, be forwarded to his of
fice at Juneau.
We shall be glad to supply
writing materials to nny one in
this vicinity who can vouch for
a severe accident to himself or
his friends. The majority of
Alaskans do not believe in the
protection of these animals,
they aie a menace to human
beings.
