FOR NEW TRAILS
The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce has sent a
telegram to Secretary Koch in ref
erence to the "Good Roads” move
ment undertaken by the local cham
ber. The message is from Colonel
Richardson, addressed to the Alaska
bureau and repeated in their wire
to Secretary Koch, and is as fol
lows: “Not possible to make ex-,
penditure on Cache creek trail as !
requested by Anchorage Chamber of j
Commerce at this time on account I
of lack of Binds and without neces
sary preliminary examinations.
Board will give consideration to this
matter at the earliest convenience.”
This, however, does not end the
matter, as Mr. Koch said this morn
ing that the chamber would follow
this matter up and not rest until
something was done for the mine
operator and prospector in the Cache
creek district.

TENT MANUFACTURING FIRM
WANTS TO LOCATE HKIIK
The Daily Times is in receipt of a
letter from a tent manufacturing
firm in the states inquiring as to the
opportunities here for engaging in
business. As they understand that
a great many tents are used in all
new camps this concern is willing to
cast its lot with Anchorage, provid
ing the field is as it has been repre
sented to them. The Times answer
ed the query, giving the firm all
the information it sought, and the
probabilities are that another new
industry will shortly be established
here.
ABOUT THE OLIVE.
Pure olive oil was known even to
the ancients for its wonderful value
as a food and medicine. The fam
ous olive groves of old Greece, Egypt
and Palestine have supplied the
world with its luscious fruit and
Epicrus mentions it as being served
at the feasts of Lucullus. Pliny, the
historian, speaks of olive oil used by
the athletes at the Olympic games
for rubbing down.
Today it is a recognized house
hold article. But it should not be
confounded with salad oil, which is
i combination of cotton seed and
Mive oils. Of the different olive
Mis, the Italian or French and the
Californian olive oil, the California
is the richest and purest. Squibbs'
31ive Oil and McNally's are the very
best, both for table and medicinal
ises. Z. J. Loussac's Drug store,

Mr. Abbey, recently from Oatman,
Arizona, has been in Anchorage for
several days waiting for his partner,
who is expected on one of the early
steamers. Upon the arrival of his
partner they will leave for the Broad
Pass country to spend the summer
in that section prospecting and in
this Mr. Abbey is simply following
the teachings ana habits of early
life.
I Mr. Abbey is a man of 82 years
I of age, but carries his age so re
| markably well that the has the ap
pearance and actions of a much
younger man. He has been in al
most every gold camp in the world
and has experienced the pleasant
sensation of being wealthy as well
as meeting with the ordinary hard
ships common to men of this hard
but exciting life. Mr. Abbey says
that the camp at Oatman, in time,
will be the biggest gold camp in the
world; that it is a rich man s camp
as the veins are deep and very ex- J
pensive to operate. He has a pano
ramic picture of Oatman that is very
interesting and gives a splendid idea
of the new gold city of Arizona.
This is not Mr. Abbey’s first visit
to Alaska, as he has spent nine years
of his life in the north, seven years
of which he spent in Dawson dur
ing its palmy days. Mr. Abbey is
very much taken with Anchorage .
and says that if the spirit of wan
derlust was not anchored so deeply
that he would like to make this city
his future home.
XO INFORMATION' RECEIVED
ABOUT TOLSTOI STRIKE
Clyde Coleman has been anxious- i
ly waiting a reply to his telegram
sent some time ago to W. A. Vinal,
United States commissioner at Ophir
asking for information in regard to
the new strike in the Tolstoi coun
try. The answer came yesterday af
ternoon, and Mr. Vinal advises Mr.
Coleman to wait for his letter and ;
offers no other information but will j
probably send full particulars in his
letter. Clyde has spent several win
ters in the vicinity of the new strike
and the interior of Alaska and while
he has tried hard to interest him
self in the railroad activity of this j
section for the past two months, he I
can’t get the lure of the gdld out i
of his system, and if the letter re
ports favorably he will probably be
hitting the trail in a short time for
his old stamping grounds.
