Writing from Judsonia, Arkansas,
! Ira Ball, well known former Inter
iorite, says that life in the States
is not what it is cracked up to be,
or words to that effect. On the sub
ject of eats, his language is to the
point. He says the poorest people
in Alaska live much better than
the richest in Arkansas. He will
soon be on his way to the Pacific
j coast and hints that he may return
to Alaska before very long.

SOURDOUGH ATTORNEY BACK
TO MAKE HOME IN ALASKA
Among the passengers arriving in
Nenana on the Saturday train from
, the coast was Attorney Harry Pratt,;
who is returning to his f vmer home
in Fairbanks to take up his per
manent residence there.
Mr. Pratt is returning to Alaska
after an absence of three years in
the Slates, two of which were spent
in the Texas oil fields and one in
New York, where be practiced his
profession. Mr. Pratt also traveled
to some extent and, as a result of
the experience ga.’ted while in the
States, he has come to the conclu
sion that Alaska is the best place
after all. even for attorneys.
After graduating some years ago,
Mr. Pratt practiced law in Fair
banks. in partnership with his father.
I.ouis K. Pratt and. during the Dem
ocratic leeime, he held an appoint
ment as assistant district attorney,
relinquishing that position to go Out
side three years ago. It is his in
tention to again join his father in
the law business, in Fairbanks.
Conditions in the States, generally
speaking, are getting back to norm
al. Mr. Pratt says. This is particu
larly true of the West, where he
found business fairly good in nearly
all lines.
The outlook for Alaska, in the
opinion of the attorney, is very
encouraging, with the territory re
ceiving favorab’e attention in all!
sections of the country. Even in
far-away New' York, he says, he
found that Alaska was being very,
much discussed, whereas, he only
occasionally heard the territory men
tioned in the East thre j years ago.'
i
Or. a recent trip in from the coast
, on his Fordster, F. A. Hansen al
most ran over a bald faced black
j bear, one of the most peculiarly
marked specimens he ever encounter
ed. Mr. Hansen did not have a gun
with him. so the bear escaped un
harmed.

COUNCIL URGES ROAD NEED;
COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE
The need of a wagon road to
expedite the development of farm
lands south of and adjacent to Ne
nana, having been called to the at
tention of the Alaska Road Commis
sion by the Xenana city council,
resulted this week in the receipt of
assurances that the matter would be
fully investigated. The matter was
taken up with Col. Steese. chairman
of the commission, on the occasion
of his brief visit to Nenana last
week, and referred by him to Major
Gotwals, engineer officer, who arriv
ed from the coast on Saturday. The
major has assured the council that
he will detail Superintendent Haw
ley W. Sterling to inspect the road
leading to the cemetery which will be
part of the proposed highway, and
report on its condition and probable
cost of the necessary repairs with
a view to taking action toward put
ting it in shape for traffic. The funds
available for road work in this dis
trict are limited and it is suggested
by Major Gotwals that a pbrtion of
the expense incident to the work be
borne locally, but the council takes
the view that inasmuch as the road
is purely in the nature of a develop
ment project, to open up the farm
ing area adjacent to the railroad,
the needed money should be pro
vided by the Government.
Superintendent Sterling is absent
on a tour of inspection in the Hot
Springs and Kantishna districts at
present and will not return until
the latter part of July, when it is
probable he will give his attention
to the work.
Eight grading contracts and one
contract for the supply of piling for
the Healy bridge have been let by
the Alaska Railroad and the work
of building the spur to the mines
of the Healy River Coal Corporation
has been commenced in earnest. Tlte
grading work, it is estimated, will
be completed by the middle of Sep
tember. The bridge will be of pile
construction and of a temporary
character, much the same style of
bridge that formerly spanned the
X'enana river at Mile 371. The spur
to the coal mine will leave the main
line at a point about half a mile
; north of Healy.
