yNEW HEAD OF
Comprehensive plans for the build
ing of newr roads and the restoration
of the present highways in Alaska
have been outlined by Col. John C.
Gotw’als, the new’ head of the Alaska
road commission. Col. Gotwals will
leave on May 1 for an inspection of
all the roads and trails of the terri
tory.
The contemplated inspection trip
^ will be by way of Skagw’ay. dow n the
Yukon to Nome, back to Fairbanks
and return over the trail to Valdez
and^includes a visit to the towns of
Seward and Cordova. Col. Gotw’als
feels that this trip is necessary in or
der that he may be in a position, on
June 30, w’hen he w'ill assume active
charge as head of the commission, to
execute the plans he has made for
the furtherance of the w’ork.
Col. Gotw'als is desirous of estab
lishing the “Cantonier” method of
road maintenance on all the roads
where it is not now in effect. This
method is also called the “patrol” sys
tem, but “catonier,” as explained by
Col. Gotw’als, is the term employed
in France. After a road has been put
in good shape to prevent deterioration
men are installed at intervals to live
there and make repairs as soon as
&iey become necessary. Each “can
tonier” is responsible for a certain
^section of the road. This system of
providing for the upkeep of the roads
has proved very effective in other sec
tions of the United States.
Another of Col. Gotwals’ plans is
that of obtaining all necessary equip
ment in the way of trucks, etc., from
the surplus w’hich the w’ar department
has had on hands since the war. This
equipment can be obtained without
additional expense or having to be
paid for out of the appropriation for
the road commission. Negotiations
have been entered for securing it.
Col. Gotwals stated that if this situ
ation had arisen when he was in
France he would simply have taken
the equipment needed and told them
about it afterwards but here the mat
ter has to go through the slow pro
cess of government routine.
Col. Gotw’als has entered upon his
duties, w’hich at present consist in be
coming acquainted with conditions,
^with much enthusiasm and zest.
WHITE WOMAN ACCUSED
OF KIDNAPING INDIAN
ON ACCOUNT OF WEALTH
TOPEKA, Kan., April 26 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Whether the legal su
pervision of a guardian-at-law over an
Indian is supposed to include the lat
ter’s matrimonial venture must be de
cided by the Kansas supreme court
in the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Carl J. O’l^rnett of Hen
rietta, Okla., to recover the custodian
ship of Jackson Barnett, aged 70, a
Creek Indian of Henrietta.
Barnett, known as “the richest In
dian in the world,” owns oil lands val
ued at more than one million dollars.
Under most romantic circuthstances,
Barnett last February eloped and was
married to a young white womana,
$rs. Anna Laura Lowe, at Coffeyville,
Kan. O’Hornett charges that the
old Indian’s bride is “an adventuress
of the most pronounced type,” and
that she “kidnaped” Barnett because
of his wealth.

“POOR BOOB” WILL BE |
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT i
I
They called him “Simp” until he
'
; believed it, and he tried hard to live
up to it. He succeeded for some
twenty-odd years, and then force of
circumstances plus a brainy little
; woman reorganized and revolution
ized his entire working apparatus. And
he was more surprised than anyone -
else. A clever little story, full of
| laughs, with a few thrills and sur
prises thrown in for variety. Bryant
Washburn as “The Boob” is well cast
and plays the part naturally and with
conviction. He is splendidly supported
by Wanda Hawley, who is rapidly com
ing to the front as one of the “worth
while” stars of the screen. “Poor
i Boob,” booked at the Empress tonigM,
! together with a short comedy and a
j Ford Educational, will make a program
that you can not afford to miss if
! you enjoy a good picture, well played.
