AT FORT GIBBON
—
Howard P. Curtis Is Taken Into
Custody On Arrival of Boat i
At Tanana.
Howard P. Curtis, late general
storekeeper of the Alaskan Engin
eering commission, who is charged
with the embezzlement of 792
pounds of meat belonging to the
Government, the complaint alleging
I that the offense was committed dur
ing October of last year; was taken
' into custody by the deputy marshal
stationed at the army town immedi
ately after the arrival of the steam
er Seattle No. 3.
As the matter of bail could not
have been satisfactorily arranged,
Curtis will be held in the custody
of the marshal until arrangements

! No advices have been received
so far as to when he will be brought

HEALI?OnOWN
TAKEN CARE OF
Townsite Officials Will Sprinkle
Unsightly Pools, Around Town
With Oil.
The receding of the recent flood
waters have left several stagnating
pools in various parts of the town,
some of which are situated in the
heart of the business section.
To prevent any bad effects that
might occur as a result of the warm
summer weather, Townsite Manager
Ryus has taken the matter in hand,
and commencing this morning, is
having these pools sprinkled with
oil, which will counteract against
ill effects as a result of the sun’s
action on stagnant water.
The city does not possess an up
to-date sprinkler, such as is used in
large towns where sprinkling is nec
essary, but this difficulty has been
easily overcome, and an ordinary
Pyrene fire extinguisher is being
used with good effect for the nec
essary sprinkling.
The work of sprinkling was com
menced this forenoon and Mr. Ryus
will continue the good work until
all stagnant water has been so treat
ed. It is stated that very satis
factory results have been obtained
from the use of the fire extin
guisher.

GRADING WORK
Walter Oldenburg & Co. It Going
Ahead With Work In Spite •<
of Slight Handicap.
Advices received from out the
line south of town are to the effect
that Walter Oldenburg and his part
ners, who have a contract to grade
a section of the right of way with
in the boundaries of Residency 3
(35-mile) and commencing at a
point about four miles south of the
engineering camp at 35-mile, are
going ahead with the work steadily.
The section of the road on which
these men are working had been
partially graded on force account
last season. The men composing
Camp 14, under Ed (Soapy) Cam
eron, being entrusted with the work.
It was undertaken quite late in the
season and had to be temporarily
abandoned as soon as the ground
froze.
The contractors who have now
undertaken to finish the job had in
tended using four dump cars and
the necessary horses to work them
to advantage, but owing to the
floods and the inability to get the
necessary live stock to the scene j
of operations, only two cars are
now in use. ,
It is expected, however, that the
rapidly receding waters will soon
permit of horses being transported
across Clear creek and Lost Slough,
and be available for use on the
grade out on the line.
