Tire Investigation
Of Gov, Brady
Post-Intelligencer Special Service Bureau,
Washington, June 6.
A special agent of the interior de
partment, especially selected on ac
count of his experience and proved in
tegrity,': left Washington for Alaska to
night to make an investigation of the
charges against Gov. Brady, the con
duct of the reindeer industry and the
public school system. -
Secretary Hitchcock refused this af
ternoon to give the name of the special
agent for publication, for the secretary
says, he does not believe in hunting
partridges with a brass band.
Mr. Hitchcock has believed for a long
time that the r-eindeer industry and the
public school system outside of incor
porated towns were not being conduct
ed in a businesslike manner, and he is
determined to know the truth. The
report of the special agent on these
questions will have a strong influence
on the secretary's recommendations to
congress next winter.
P resident Roosevelt wishes to give
Govt Brady the benefit of a “fair trial”
before taking action on the charges
made against him some weeks ago. It
is admitted that the governor commit- !
tad an indiscretion, to say the least, in
allowing his name to be so prominently
connected with the so-called Reynolds-1
Alaska Development Company. At the
same time the president wishes to have
the testimony of some of the people of
the territory on this matter and other
complaints against the governor before
taking action. Walter E. Clark.
v According to the Chena Times, a
somewhat anomalous business condition
exists in that camp. The townspeople
trade in Fairbanks, while the business
men and miners on the creeks do their
buying in Chena. The following two
items are taken from a recent issue of
the Times and speak for themselves.
What seems to be the trouble Brother
Roden?
“Why do so many Chena people find
it necessary to trade with Fairbanks
merchants?" *
“Business men and miners on the
creeks begin to realize that Chena is
the supply point for the district and
that it pays them well to deal with the
merchants here." > .

GEN. GREELEY WILL
VISIT ALASKA POSTS
From Dawson Weekly News
General A. W. Greeley, chief signal
officer of the United States army, will
make his last official trip in Alaska in
July. General Greeley retires from ac
tive service in ’two years, and before
that time it is his desire to personally
examine every mile of the Alaska land
wires and to see that the cable is work
ing properly.
’The general will be accompanied by
his daughter. They will arrive in Se
attle about the middle of July. Gener
al Greeley’s journey includes a trip
over White Pass to Dawson, down to
St. Michaels and to Nome. This route
will take him along practically all the
right of way of all the land lines.
(As a matter of fact Gen. Greeley by
pursuing the above route will travel
along just 300 miles of land lines. Of
this distance 12 miles are from Boun
dary to Eagle, and 288 miles from Ft.
Gibbon to Kaltag. Ihe total mileage
of land lines is 1254 miles.—Ed.)
In Chicago one took in the Midway;
in St. Louis one went down the Pike.
Visitors to Lewis & Clark will “hit the
Trail” when they travel along the
street of concessions to take in the side
shows.
