CONTRACTORS ARE NOW
NEARING HOME STRETCH I
Considerable progress among the
contractors on the Nenana-Fairbanks
line is reported by late arrivals from
across the river. Some of the con
tractors are still somewhat handicap- j
ped by wet ground along Gold-1
, stream, but the majority of them
are making much better time with j
their grading now than they did a j
few weeks ago.
Knut Roland, who has a grading |
contract about six miles out from |
the river, was in town this monring j
on business, and told a represents-1
tive of The News that he expected!
to be through with his work about J
August 3. He was greatly delayed |
by wet weather earlier in the sum
mer, but lately has been little dis
turbed by rains.

ELSEWHERE IN ALASKA
A man named Lee, of Seattle, has
written to Wrangell councilmen ask
ing about the opportunities for start
ing a jitney business in that town.
While Wrangell would welcome a
jitney man, it is feared his business
: would not be a lucrative one.
Mrs. Harriet W. Etherton,. who
was a piano player in a ihotion
picture theater at Ketchikan about
a year ago, has been in three asy
lums and six jails in recent months,
according to a statement made to
the authorities when arrested at
Sandpoint, Idaho.
The sum of $6,000 has been ap
propriated by Judge R. W. Jennings
for the purpose of constructing a
new jail, courthouse and commis
sioner’s office at Wrangell, accord
ing to a recent announcement. Th<
jail and court buildings now in ust
are old log buildings erected by thf
United States soldiers when Wran
gell was an army post.

A quantity of serum has beer
mailed to Dawson from Leland Stan
ford university, to be used in case!
of poisoning by ptomaine germs
The physician is sending samples ot
the blood of the men who died tc
the university for a test. The bac
teriologist of the university stated
that the boiling for 30 minutes ol
food infected with the bacillus botu
linus would kill the germs.
Road work in the Tolovana dis
trict, which was started by Terri
torial Road Commissioner Robert
Sheldon early this season, prior to
the loss of his road-building powers,
was brought to a close during the
recent visit of Mr. Sheldon to
Brooks. The sum of $3,500 was
expended in extending the wagon
road up Livengood creek, and the
highway is said to be one of the
best in the country and a great
benefit to the miners of the Tolo
vana district.
The road was commenced by for
mer Commissioner H. H. Ross, dur
ing the time he was in office, and
it was this work that Mr. Sheldon
completed, at the urgent request of
the mining men of that district.
The completion of the Livengood
road marks the retirement of Com
missioner Sheldon from that dis
trict, and any further work under
taken there must be done by the
Alaska Road commission, to which
practically all the Interior districts
have been turned over. Mr. Sheldon
says the only district left to him
is the Kuskokwim, where no work
is contemplated at present. And
besides, he points out, there are no
more funds available for work, even
if he had territory left in which to
spend the money.
That the Sheldon road up Liven
good is a good one is indicated by
the plans of one of the leading
merchants of Brooks, who is said
to have arranged for the purchase
of an automobile for use in deliver
ing goods to customers along the
i creek.
