KETCHIKAN MAN RETURNS
FROM OUTING IN EUROPE
F. C. Johnstone one of the largest
stock owners in the cannery at Wa
terfall, recently returned to Ketch
ikan from an extended trip abroad
and the following interesting ac
count of his travels was taken from
the Ketchikan Chronicle.
Accompanied by Mrs. Johnstone
j and his sister-in-law, Johnstone vi
; sited England, France, Italy, Switz
erland, Belgium, Egypt, Gibralter,
j Greece and many other places. He
spent some time in Cairo where, he
says, one always knows in which di
1 rection lies the east as all good Mo
hammedans many times a day in
: the market place or wherever they
happen to be, kneel and pray to
Allah with their faces turned to
ward the east. He sailed up the Mile
l to Memphis, 400 miles north of
Cairo, on the ship that carried Lord
Carnarvon and his party, but did
not go as far as Luxor, where the
tomb of King Tut-ankh-Amen is lo
cated. Johnstone and his party also
visited Algiers and Monte Carlo and
found the Cosmopolitan place most
fascinating.
Athens they found swarming with
refugees. Over a thousand were
housed in the basement of the hotel
where they put up. It is one of the
worst problems in the history of the
world. It is estimated that it will
take five years and thirty million
dollars to settle the Greek relief
problem, Mr. Johnstone says. Be
sides the problems of sanitation,
there is that of disposition. One plan
is to drain the Macedonian swamps
and make them into farm lands on
which families can settle and sup
port themselves.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the trip was the visit to the tomb
where Christ was buried. The pil
lar against which he is said to have
leaned is enclosed, but once a year
visitors are allowed to enter and
thousands kneel and kiss it. They
visited Pompeii and climbed to the
summits of Vesuvius.
Mr. Johnstone says that the
French have made marvelous pro
gress in the work of reconstruction.
Whole villages have been rebuilt
with better and prettier houses of
stone every inch of land available
has been cultivated and the evi
dences of the thrift of the French
is everywhere.
However, in most of the Euro
pean countries there are many beg
gars and tourists are supposed to
lavish every person in the hotel
where they stay and for every ser
vice rendered.
The return trip to the United
States was made on the biggest
ocean liner in the world, the Maj
estic, built a year ago. It is 1000
feet long, carries 2,000 first class
passengers, and has a tonnage of
56,000 tons. The dining room is
32 feet high and can seat 850 peo
ple. The vessel makes 26 knots an
hour and took only five Cays and a
half to cross from Cherbourg,
France, to Mew York
Johnstone says that a crew of
approximately 35 men are at work
making cans at Waterfall. Their
output last year was 40,000 cases,
but they are making preparations
for an increased output this year
if the season is as good as anticip
ated. They are putting up new
buildings and installing some new
machinery. W. E. Epperson is sup
erintendent again there this season.
i Another shift has been put to
work at the tunnel site of the pro
perty of the Douglas Mining Com
pany and from now on the work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
reports the Empire.
Already 33 feet have been dirven
in an open cut which has been faced
up preporatory to driving the un
derground tunnel that will be start
ed immediately.
Most favorable results are early an
j ticipated from the increased opera
I tions.

ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION
PREPARES FOR EARLY RUSH
The Alaska Road Commission is
planning an active season of road
and trail work this season accord
ing to Col. Jas. G. Steese. who stat
ed recently at Cordova that on ac
count of the heavy tourist travel ex
pected this summer maintenance
work on the Richardson Highway
would commence a month earlier
than usual. There is one stretch be
tween Sourdough and Meier's road
house, a distance of twenty-five
miles which will be graveled.
Tentative plans for the season in
clude the rehabilitation of the Strel
na-Kuskulana road and a complete
reconnaissance of the Kotsina dis
trict with a view to determine what
relief, if any, can be afforded next
year, either by way of Strelna or
Chitina.
Two sets of piers have been set
in the Nizina river. Each pier con
sists of interlocking steel sheet piles
filled with concrete and tied togeth
er by a reinforced concrete slab,
forming a bridge seat. Until this
$100,000 bridge contract has been
completed minor projects in the
Copper River valley must be held in
abeyance. Meanwhile, Colonel Steese
stated, information will be secured
which can be used as a basis of op
erations in succeeding years, when
more money is available. All pro
jects in the Copper River Valley are
Co-operative projects of the Terri
tory, with the exception of the Rich
ardson Highway, upon which no
Territorial money has or will be
spent.
The Tazlina bridge has been com
pleted and the commission is now
finishing the pack train suspension
bridge across the Chultina river, at
the mouth of Honolulu creek, giving
access to the railroad from the
Broad Pass district, west of the
West Fork of the Chulitna river.
The Palmer bridge across Mata
nuska river was successfully disman
tled shipped to Chatanika, in the
Fairbanks district, freighted out
twelve miles and re-erected across
the Chatanika river, on the exten
sion of the Richardson Highway
to Circle. This undertaking in one
season was made possible by the
erection of the Government railway.
Equipment was shipped to Kan
atak on the last sailing of the steam
er Starr from Seward, in anticipa
tion of road work to be done be
tween Kanatak and Lake Bicharof.

HUNT SUCCEEDS WATSON
T. M. Hunt, special agent at the
General Land Office, field division,
headquarters at Juneau has been
transfered to Fairbanks and will be
in charge of the Land Office at that
place succeeding Harry Watson, re
signed. according to announcement
made by G. A. Parks, Chief.
Mr. Hunt has been at the Juneau
office the past two years. He is an
old-time resident of the Territory
and is well known at the Westward
and Interior.
SITKA DEER ATTACK FARM j
GEORGESON WILL USE GUN
Dr. C. C- Georgeson, head of the
Government Experimental Farms in
Alaska has telegraphed to Washing
ton D. C. to be allowed to shoot
the deer which almost nightly invade
the strawberry patches on the ex
permental farm on the outskirts of
the city limits in Sitka says the Tri
: bune. Once before he applied to
' the U. S. Commissioner for permis
; sion but it was not granted.
The strawberry patch looks like a
veritable deer pasture, with tracks
| everywhere, some of which indicate
I there are unusually large deer a
mong the invaders. Even the pre
' sence of a dog has failed to keep
j away the deer which consider the
i tops of the strawberry plants and
! especially the blossoms a rare del
icacy.
George Boyle, special representa
tive of the interior department, re
turned to Alaska on a recent boat
to resume his investigations in the
territory. His return was delayed
several weeks by a severe attack of
the flu ' i'
