SIMSON’S
10 TRY INVENTION
The Seattle Snowsled company
will bring one of its newly-invented
vehicles to Valdez this winter and
give it a thorough tryout over the
Richardson highway and on the fiats
near Valdez, says the Valdez Miner.
“The snow attains a depth of from
10 to 20 feet in this vicinity, and
if the sleds can work under con
ditions obtaining here they will be
a success in any part of the North
land.
“At many points on the trail,
after the mountain range is reached,
the drifts become hard as ice, and
a sled would have to overcome side
slip as well as going over the drifts.
The road is generally in excellent
condition after snowfall, as the gla
cier streams cease running with cold
weather.
"In case the sleds are given a
tryout here, there is no doubt that
OUR REASON
for paying higher prices than
oth^- fur buyers is that we do
not sell furs in the raw state, but
we manufacture every fur we
buy, and sell them only after
they are made up. We must have
nice specimens of all kinds of
furs and we will guarantee to
pay higher prices than any other
fur buyer in town. Let us prove
this to you—make a trial ship*
ment of furs to

iseveral can be sold to local men, as
they will solve the winter freight
ling problem.”

BEMUD FINDS
NORTHERNER IN
! DISTANT CAMP
_
While it is true many Northern
,ers were in France during the war,
attached to the British and American
i forces, it was not an easy matter
| to find them, according to Gus Be- j
raud, who left Nenana recently to|
enter the employ of Tom Aitken, in :
the Kuskokwim district. Beraud was
!overseas during the early summer,!
ihaving been sent across the Atlantic!
jin connection with his work as an |
jattache of the immigration service. 1
Beraud had some time at his dis-!
jposa! while in France and grew;
j lonesome for the sight of an Alas
ikan. Up to that time he had not
;run across a single man he knew, so
he determined to make the rounds
of the nearby camps, hoping to run
across somebody from the North.
' Heading his car for the nearest
American force, he made inquiry of
the commanding officer, upon ar
rival there, only to find that the
troops were from the East. They1
■were Americans, anyway, and the
lonely Yankee found some comfort
jin mingling among the men, always!
on the lookout for a stray Alaskan.!
Repeated inquiries among the sol
diers finally elicited the information
that one of the companies possessed!
a man from the Yukon, and upon '
being directed to his quarters, Be-1
raud found Jack Carlisle, a former
employe of the O’Brion brewery at
Dawson. Beraud did not know him,
but Carlisle rememSered Beraud as
a Dawson assayer, and that was j
enough.
The next thing was to get Car- j
lisle a leave so that they might
enjoy a visit together, which was
accomplished with some difficulty,
the commanding officer being re-'
luetar* to let Carlisle go, for fear]
that he would get into trouble. He '
was a Westerner, the officer said,
and a little bit inclined to be rough
at times. But permission was finally
granted, and Beraud and his new
found friend hastened to a nearby
town, where they spent a couple
of very enjoyable days together.
Carlisle expected to remain in
France several months, but Beraud
did not see him again, having left
for the States soon after their little
outing.

TRAIL ACCIDENT
CAUSE OF DEATH
OF AUTO DM
^ The overturning of a large four
wheel-drive truck, belonging to the
Brower stage line, caused the al
most instant death yesterday of
Oscar Johnson, driver of the ma
chine, who was caught beneath the
heavy machine and crushed so badly
that he survived only a short time.
The accident occurred about two
miles south of the Salcha telegraph
station, on the Richardson trail.
The truck had left Munson’s en
route to Fairbanks, and when it
failed to make its appearance at
the telegraph station within a rea
sonable time, the operators there
started up the trail to investigate.
They found the truck overturned,
with the driver beneath it, from
which position he was extricated
with difficulty. The truck, it ap
pears. had skidded from the slippery
trail on a hillside and turned over
when the lower side came to a
sudden stop below the trail.
Deputy Marshal Wood left Fair- ]
banks in an auto this morning to!
bring in the body of the dead man. i

SAYS ALASKA IS
LAND OF MERIT
The Interior of Alaska would be
! one of the greatest sheep countries
i in the world, according to Harry
. Thorley, of Cedar City, Utah, one
!of the big sheepmen of the country.
I if there were satisfactory transporta
tion facilities to take sheep in and
out and from place to place in the
j Territory.
‘ Mr. Thorley recently covered the
i Interior country on a big game
j
hunting expedition, and was a south
bound passejiger recently from Ju
! neau, says the Alaska Daily Em
: pire.
\ "If one could only be taken into
jthe Interior of Alaska blindfolded,
and the blind removed so that he
could look at the birch hills, the
valleys and the grass-covered slopes,
he would imagine that he was in
the State of Utah, now the greatest
sheep section of the country,” said
Mr. Thorley. '‘There should be
one million fatted sheep sent annu
ally from the sections I saw in
Alaska," he continued. "There are
thousands of acres of grazing lands
from which the food that is wasted
i should be turned into mutton and
wool for the benefit of mankind.”
Mr. Thorley said that if the trans
'
i portation facilities were satisfactory
he would breed sheep on the Outside j
and ship them into the Interior to
fatten on the grazing lands and then
ship them to market, just as he now

Mr. Thorley says the Alaskan In
ferior is an ideal stock country in
[everything except transportation fa
jcilities. He thinks, however, that a
! mistake was made in reducing the
! homesteads from 320 acres to 100.
He says 160 acres is too small for a
(stock farm.
