Here’s a Guarantee

Don’t taka chances on Roofing, for
you can now have roofing insurance.
J-M Regal Roofing is absolutely guar
anteed against leaks due to defects in
the roofing.
And that guarantee is as good a3 a
government bond, for it’s signed by the
makers, a $3,000,000.00 company.

J-M Regal Roofing
is made entirely in the Regal people’s
own mills. They know the quality of
every square inch of it. That’s why
they can guarantee it. *
They make the wool felt—know that
it is the best quality, long-fibred wool.
They refine and process their own
asphalt—get it direct from Lake Trini
dad. No man has yet found anything
else half as good for waterproofing.
So here is a roofing that is proof
against the broiling sun, against enovr
and rain, freezing and thaw'ing, th'
oxygen in the air and the other things
which so Foon ruin other wool felt roof
ings. J-M Regal Roofing is also highly
fire-resisting.
Samples a-e free; also an interesting
book on rooting.

Curtis Ross, Old
timer, Drowned
in Chicaloon
i
Judge Leopold David is in receipt
of a letter from the Chicaloon coal
fields giving news of what promises
to be a very sad accident in which
! Curtis Ross, an old-time hunter and
prospector, lost his life by drowning
in the Chicaloon river.
The letter is published in full and
I is as follows:
CHICALOON COAL CAMP, Aug.
.,23, 1916. Commissioner, U. S., Leo
' pold David, Anchorage. Dear Sir:—
Curtis Ross, a well-known trapper and
hunter, has been missing for four
days. Chas. McHenry, Ed O’Brien
‘ and I have investigated and have the
most convincing proof that Ross has
been drowned in the Chica! ■■ i . .ver
about half a mile up the river from
the coal camp. Ross left here (Chin
aloon) August 19, with*his pack horse
loaded with food to distribute to his
different caches at Boulder creek,
Hicks creek and Matanuska glacier.
His pet dog returned here the next
day and last evening, which was the
■ third day, his horse came back with
the pack saddle still on and pack
ropes hanging. The saddle had evi
dently been on these three days, as
the horse had a sore back, and no
sign of his blankets having been re
moved. It appears that Ross made an
attempt to ford the Chicaloon, riding
his horse which was packed with prob
ably 150 pounds, and became over
balanced and upset, losing his load.
Later we found tracks of the horse
about 100 yards down-stream from
where we think he tried to ford; we
* also found a part of the horse’s load
1 in the drift, about 100 yards from the
attempted grossing place. Chas. Mc
Henry has been down to the mouth of
the Chicaloon but has found no more
evidence of the accident. Ross was a
very popular fellow and we are all
willing to do anything in our power to
assist you in this sad matter.
We remain, Very truly,
CHAS. M. JOHNSTON,
WM. H. BOWERS,
a. m. McHenry.
Labor Day to
Be Celebrated
in Anchorage
It is only nine days until the big
Labor Day celebration and every ef
fort is being used by the boys to pull
off a good one. In fact they expect
to fairly outdo themselves and if en
ergy and application mean anything
the day will be fittingly observed.
■ This event is being advertised widely
not only in the immediate vicinity of
Anchorage but in the smaller towns
even to Seward, Valdez and Cordova.
This is no political move but simply
an appropriate observance of the day
in which the “salt of the earth” have
full sway. The business houses will
close part of the day and the business
houses decorated in observance of
the celebration.
The program is being arranged
with care so that all lines of> sports
will be represented; the band, always
a necessity on such occasions will be
in evidence throughout the day and
the entire citizenship of Anchorage
will join with the labor union boys
to make the Labor Day celebration a
distinct success.
LACK OF WATER
AT SLATE CREEK
VALDEZ — Herman Nelson, who
has been spending the summer in
Slate creek, returned to town last eve
ning. He reports that the operators
in that section have been seriously
handicapped all summer from lack of
water. Up to the time Mr. Nelson
left there Jack Miller had done prac
tically nothing in the way of sluicing,
there being less than a sluicehead of
water practically the entire season.
The Kreamer Bros, have also been
prevented from doing any considera
ble work, and while Fred Kreamer
’ and a man or two are at the claim,
Chas. Kreamer is out on a prospecting
trip.
Work on the Swanson claims, on
Slate creek, is in progress. The hy
draulic plant taken in early this
spring has been installed and has
been in operation for about two weeks.
The water for this plant is being tak
en out of Big Four gulch at the head
of Miller gulch, and brought down to
the claims in a ditch. It is not known
what results are being obtained but
the gravel is known to carry good
pay.
Lumber is selling for $50 per M.,
board measure, in Valdez.
