HEAVY MACHINERY
FOR BIG DREDGE
SAFELY HAULED
Advices received from the Kus
kokwim country indicate that Tom
Aitken's dredge, which had been
working on one of the tributaries
of the Kuskokwim river and which
was shut down for a portion of the
time last summer, will be ready to
operate again this season.
The shut down was caused by the
breaking of a part of the machinery,
necessitating the procuring of a
new part to replace the broken one.
This piece of machinery, which
weighed over 1000 pounds, was sent
to Seward from the States and
brought to Anchorage on the train.
From Anchorage to the location of
the dredge it was hauled on a sled
that had been specially constructed
for the purpose.
In spite of the difficulties of the
trail, the big piece of machinery
was landed at the dredging ground
in good shape. It is said to have
arrived in the nick of time, as the
trail went to pieces two days after
the sled arrived.
MRS. GREENBERGER GOES
TO RAILROAD CAMP
Mrs. Annie Greenberger. a well

stage on its last trip, bound for
■James D. McMahon’s camp, on the
Fairbanks line, where she will locate

on a section of the Xenana-Fair
banks right of way and will employ

summer.
BEAR CUBS ON DISPLAY

H. G. Taylor, superintendent of
the Brower stage line, arrived in

second class mail last night from
a trip out on the trail. He brought
into town two little bear cubs,

lor’s fox farm, and these are now
on display in the window of the
Red Cross drug store.
The cubs were said to have been
taken before their eyes were open
and were raised on a feeding bottle.
They are very small yet.

GREY SAYS REPORTS
OF BLINDNESS UNTRUE
LONDON.—The widely published
report that \ iscount Grey*, who was
foreign minister in Mr. Asquith’s
cabinet, and whose speeches in the
House of Commons in 1914 were a
powerful influence in making up
the mind of the British public for
war, had become totally blind was
exaggerated.
Writing to a friend who had sent
his condolences, Lord Grey re
plied: “I lost the power of read
ing some months ago and dry-fly
fishing became impossible last year
as I could no longer see the rises.
Salmon fishing, I hope, will still be
possible. I am glad to see the
great progress made at Paris with
the project of a League of Nations.”
Lord Grey made his last public
appearance a few months ago, when
he delivered an address in London
in support of the League of Na
tions.
IDAHO TOWN PLANS
BIG JULY CELEBRATION
PACATELLO, Idaho.—Pocatello's
formal welcome home to its overseas

in a mammoth two-day celebration
on the Fourth of July, at which
time it is hoped that some members
of the Rainbow division will be able
to join. The program is now being
devised by committees of the Com
mercial club, and it is possible that
the Willard-Dempsey match may be
an interesting side issue to the regu
lar show.
US READY
FOR SIAR EVENT
WREN ICE MOVES
The warm weather experienced j
during the past two days and its!
possible affects on the river ice,
attracted quite a few more people
than is usually seen at any one
time to the river bank today, and
many sage remarks, anent the com
ing movement were heard.
John Demos and a few others
who are perhaps very heavily inter- )
ested in the breakup will, it is j
rumored, erect a tent on the river j
bank tonight if the ice has not
moved by that time and will keep
watch and watch, day and night, |
until the whistle blows 'heralding j
the official breakup.
From a point near the Lehr mill)
to the mouth of the Xenana river, |
on the town side of the river bank,1
there is a wide stretch of open!
water and cakes of varying sizes
float down occasionally,, adding to
the excitement of the watchers on
the shore and furnishing food for
speculation on the big event.
This afternoon a big slab of ice,
said to be about twenty feet square,
broke off from the main sheet near
the flag on the ice and for a little j
while the watchers held their
breaths, awaiting developments, but
nothing happened. The ice is still
there and so is the stake and flag,
but sourdoughs say it may go out
at any moment now.
