Postmaster Deal, of Fairbanks
was removed to the St. Joseph’
hospital yesterday evening, suffer
ing from an attack of ptomaim
poisoning. He is reported to bi
very ill, but Dr. McCallum, who i
in attendance, says that he will re
cover from the attack.
Mr. Deal is reported to hav
taken sick last Tuesday night, short
ly after having eaten his dinner, bu
he made light of it and went t
work as usual.
Yesterday afternoon his conditioi
became worse, necessitating the cal!
ing of a medical man, who diag
nosed the case as one of ptomain
poisoning and had his patient re
J moved to the hospital at once,
j It is though probable that Mr.
| Deal will be an inmate of the hos
! pital for a week or so, at least.

RUM) BILL
AWAITS ACTION
OF COMMITTEE
! —
Notwithstanding the fact that
Chairman Edes has informed the
local office of the Alaskan Engin
erring Commission of the passage
of the general deficiency bill, carry
ing an item of approximately two
million dollars for railroad work
in Alaska, the bill is still in the
hands of the conference committee,
to which it was referred last week.
The railroad item is not in dispute,
however, and may be regarded as
good as pased, since both branches
of Congress already have given their
approval to that portion of the bill.
Upon receipt of the information
Tuesday, announcing the passage of
the bill, the News wired The Asso
ciated Press for confirmation, sus
pecting that either Chairman Edes
had made a mistake or that The
Associated Press had overlooked an
important news item. The reply
came this morning, the News cor
respondent stating that the “Alaska
railroad appropriation has passed
both houses of Congress and is cer
tain to go to the President for ap
proval, though delayed temporarily
awaiting the settlement of a disa
greement between the houses on
another item of the general de
ficiency bill, compelling the secre
tary of the treasury to buy a
Chicago speedway hospital.”
The telegram from Chairman Edes
said the^bill had passed the senate
on June eleventh, and it probably
did pass on that date, but the chair
man evidently overlooked the fact
that certain changes had been made
by the senate which necessitated
reference of the measure to a con
ference committee, before which
the bill is still pending. The bill
will not be ready for the signature
of the President until both branches
of Congress have approved the
items in the form in which they are
! submitted by the conference com
|mittee, but as the report of a con
jference committee is usually ac
| cepted without debate, it may be
| presumed that the deficiency bill
will not be long in reaching the
I President’s desk.
It is enouogh for Alaskans to
know that both branches of Con
gress have approved the railroad
item and that the outlook for early
| action on the bill is sufficiently en
' couraging to warrant immediate re
, lease of funds much needed by rail
road workers. The balance of the
: money owing and that needed to
; carry on the work during the re
jmainder of the month undoubtedly
i will be available within a short time.

MRS. D’ARSAY’S FS THE PLACE
Tailor Shop at Third and A
BODY OF WOMAN
FOUND FLOATING
Hip M
William McDougal, who has a
logging contract with the A. E. C.,
and whose camp is situated about
five miles above town, on returning
to his camp from Nenana this
morning, discovered the bo<>y of a
white woman afloat in an eddy in
the river, at a spot about three
miles above town.
He states that the body appeared
to be devoid of clothing and that
it was in an advanced stage of de
composition. He thinks the body
might be that of one of the un
fortunate victims of the Flyer dis
aster, which occurred on October 4.
last year.
Mr. McDougall reported the find
ing of the body of the woman to
the U. S. commissioner, who, with
Deputy Marshal Hagen, proceeded
to the spot in a boat. The sight
of the body sickened McDougall,
who immediately hurried to town
to report the matter, but before
doing so, he asked Jimmy Woods,
who happened to be near, to watch
the floating body until the authori
ties arrived on the scene.
The trail leading to McDougall’?
camp leads away from the river
near this point, and ordinarily, he
would have gone past it, but on
this occasion his attention was at
tracted to the riverside by the ac
tions of his dog, who would appear
to have first scented and seen the
body. He does not think there is
any danger of its floating away, as
when he saw it, it was well back
in the eddy and was barely moving I
He made no attempt to secure it, |
but merely asked Woods to keep j
an eye on it.
Body Identified
U. S. Commissioner R. S. Me- j
Donald, Deputy Marshal James j
Hagen and Wm. McDougall, who
went to the spot where the body j
was seen on the Commission launch j
Sunbeam, returned to town this j
afternoon with the body, which has
been definitely identified as that
of Mrs. Hawley W. Sterling.
From its long immersion in the
water, the body was in a highly
decomposed state and identification
was possible only by the rings found
on one of the fingers, and consisted
of her wedding ring and a ruby ring
bearing the inscription “Hawley to
Peggy,” on the inside. The body
was taken to the A. E. C. oilhouse
and will remain there until the
metal casket in which it is to be
sealed and which is now being made
by Wm. Gilcher, is ready.
Commissioner McDonald notified
Hawley Sterling by telephone. Mr.
Sterling is resident engineer in
charge of camp 449, and he inti
mated that the body will have to be
shipped to Fairbanks for burial.
Further instructions will be awaited
by the officials here.
An inquest will be held over the
remains at 7 o’clock this evening
at the commissioner’s office.

; Morris Brouche and Jean Mc
Quoin, who are engaged in mining
near Brooks, in the Tolovana dis
trict, were seriosuly) injured yester
day by a blow-back from a steam

The men were engaged in driving
points in a narrow tunnel when the
blow-back occurred and were unable
to get away from it.
They are reported to have sus

it is considered probably that they

COGHILL’S
Late yesterday evening Frank
Burgess arrived in Fairbanks from
Chitina in his automobile with three
passengers. The journey from
Chitina was made in three days, in
spite of the very bad condition of
the trail.
Those returning -fe'ere Peter Ret
tig, formerly of the lAmerican Bank
of Alaska, and Hjalmar Johnson
and Eugene Hanson of Cleaty, who
had been Irving with the colors
and who recently received their dis
charges.
Mr. Rettig left Fairbanks for the!
States in September, 1917, but re- j
turned to the coast after a brief
visit to his folks, and took a posi- j
tion with the Alaska Sea Food con£'
pany, near Cordova. Jack Reagh !
and Oscar Anderson, formerly of j
the D. C. Co. at Fairbanks, are |
interested in the Alaska Sea Food
Co., which is said to be doing a
big business.
While in San Francisco, Rettig
says he met Adolph Bruning, who
was also formerly connected with
the now defunct American Bank of
Alaska. Bruning was busy secur
ing a plant for working his mining
ground in the Jack Wade country.
Mr. Rettig says that F. G. Noyes
seems to have the airplane bug
badly and that he intends bringing
one of the latest types of flying
machines into the coutnry when he
returns north.
There is much talk and excite
ment on the coast, he says, regard
ing mine development in Alaska and
Siberia.
