doughty warriors. The exact score
could not be learned by reason of the
fact that the scorekeeper wore his
pencil out early in the game.
Races for young as well as grown
up kids occupied several hours. The
star of the whole Held meet was
Mart I-attin who, in the fat man’s
race covered the hundred in the fast
time of 16% seconds and copped the
prize from such famous runners as
Frank Iverson and Jim Millsap.
The tug of war furnished consider
able excitement. Teams from Ken
necott, the Piledriver Crew, Olacier
Camp and McCarthy contested. The
McCarthy team won the finals but a
protest is being considered against
them for the reason that it is alleged
that they had an unfair advantage
inasmuch as most of the members of
the team were packers whose experi
ence in dragging horses out of the
mud on hte McCarthy trail to the
Nizina, had made them abnormally
muscular in the arms. The decision
| has been referred to the Road Com
mission.
MUCH ACTIVITY

ANCHORAGE
, i
The following Item taken from the
Cook Inlet Pioneer, tells of the latest
plans for work at the railroad city to
the westward.
The following Improvements are In
contemplation by the Engineering
Commission at Anchorage;
The present track from the dock to
the office building is only temporary
and will be replaced by a straight
track as soon as the other improve
ments contemplated have reached the
proper stage. There will be a track
built from the main track to a point
a little east of the Crist House at
which place an engine house will be
built.
Machine and repair shops will be
installed In the same vicinity as soon
as the equipment arrives from Panama
which will be within 60 days. A ma
terlol storehouse will also be built j
near the same point.
Freight yards with eight side tracks \
will be built north of the present main
line, and a "Y" constructed north of
the middle of the railroad yards.
The corral and stable will be moved
from their present location to a point
a little oast of where the Pioneer!
lodging House now is. A frame com
missary building will be erected near
the site of the present blacksmith
shop, which commissary will be for
use of the local camp, while the big
warehouse on the dock will he the j
wholesale distributing commissary for !
all commissaries at the different
camps.
About 6000 tons of steel rails will
arrive during the summer, for the
storage of which additional tracks and
sidings will be installed, as the rails
will be stored on the sidings, sorted
In different lengths, ready for ship
ment along the line. A patent rail
bender will arrive to curve the rails
as required. A great amount of room j
is required for the storing of this class
of material so as to handle same
quickly and at the least possible cost.
The present dock is only temporary
and will be replaced by the perma |
nent coal dock. It will be reoalle |
that at the time the railroad route j
was announced by Secretary l^ane, the I
statement was made that Ship Creek I
would be made the shipping point for .
Matanuska coal. The plans for creat-!
ing the terminal for the handling of
coal are under way, but of course will '

not bo completed until next year.
Harbor Improvement
In connection with the permanent
coal dock terminal, the Commission Is
now engaged in driving piling off the
mouth of Ship Creek to form staging
for drilling machines to determine
the character of the material which
will have to be dredged for the Im
provement* contemplated. This I* a
preliminary Investigation to deter
mine the character of the material
which will have to bh dredged for the
improvements contemplated. This ts
n preliminary Investigation to deter
mine the cost and feasibility of con
structing a 30-foot deep basin which
will be 100 feet wide at the bottom
and 300 feet wide at the top nnd will
run 1,000 feet up the creek from the
present dock to the office building and
will also extend about 2,500 feet from
the present dock out to deep water.
When these plans are carried out
Anchornge will have facilities which
will enable government and other
to ship lartfe amounts of coal and
other products at a minimum coast.
The railroad grading will be com
pleted from Anchornge to Matanuska
by November 1st and track laid by
January 1st. The steel and proper
equipment to finish the line for that
distance will arrive here by October
1st.
At present there are 1014 men em
ployed out of Anchorage on railroad
construction. Including men clearing
townslte, but excluding locating engi
neers nnd their parties. The number
will be increased to 1,500 as soon as
additional material and equipment
come, which will be within 30 days.

ALASKA MAY HAVE
POSTAL 5AVNGS BANKS
Postal savings banks are coming to
Alaska, It is indicated.
It will be remembered that the Tan
ner memorial to Congress, passed at
the last legislative session, urged that
the banks be established! Today a
letter was received from the Third
Assistant Postmaster General, under
date of Junt 23. It was addressed to
Governor Strong, and reads ns fol
lows:
“Consideration is now being given
to the extension of the facilities of the
Postal Savings System to the princi
pal post offices in the Territory of
Alaska and in connection with the
proposed action it is important that
arrangements be made for the proper
disposition of all postal savings de
posits.
“The Federal Postal Savings Act
provides that the funds received a!
each post office shall be preferably
deposited in local banks which may
qualify to receive them, it being
stipulated that only banks 'organize
under national or state laws' and ‘sub
Ject to national or state supervision
and examination’ shall be eligible t«.j
qualify as such depositories. There
is a prohibition in the Federal Re
serve Act against the deposit of postal
savings funds In banks not belonging
to the Federal Reserve System but
this Is not applicable to Alaska and
In view of the recent ennetment by
your legislature of a comprehensive
banking law providing for supervision
and examination of territorial banks,
apparently, In'' addition to the two
national banks in Alaska, all solvent
Incorporated banks organized under
the laws of Alaska will be eligible to
qualify as depositories for postal sav
ings funds If they desire to do so.
Private bunks are held not to be or

law and are therefore ineligible to re

LEPERS TO
PETROGRAD, July 10.—The Hus
slnn Medical Council has Informed the
Holy Synod that there Is no objection
to lepers marrying lepers, although
the union of a leper to a healthy mate
should not be allowed. This Is the
council's nnswer to the question
raised by the Russian church.
The Influence of the parents on
their offspring In the spread of the dis
ease is considered weak, since the
percentage of infant leprosy is very
small, only about 5 per cent. Fertility
also decreases among lepers as the
disease advances, leprosy in not be
lieved to be a hereditary disease, but
one due to contact. For a leprous
mother to part with her Infant is
painful, although necessary If the
child is to be saved. Hut marriage
brings at least some happiness into
the tragedy of disease-stricken lives.
