ROAD COMMISSION TO MAKE
REPAIRS ON ROOSEVELT ROAD
With a view to giving temporary
relief to the miners of the Kan
tishna district, who are now virtual
ly isolated by reason of the fact
that there is now no summer road
over which supplies may be hauled,
the Alaska Road Commission is send
ing a crew of men, under H. I. Mil
ler, to Roosevelt Landing, to put
the Roosevelt-Eureka road in con
dition for use. Mr. Miller arrived
from Fairbanks yesterday and left
for the Kantishna this afternoon
aboard the George Moody launch,
with men and supplies for the work.
All of the stock needed will be ob
tained in tike Kantishna.
Mr. Miller says he does not know
how much money will be available
for the undertaking. His instruc
tions are to proceed to Roosevelt
and start work, and it is his belief
that enough money will be provided
to put the road in condition for
use. It is impassable now.
Major Gotwals, engineer officer of
the Alaska Road Commission, will
leave for the Kantishna within a
few day’s and it is expected that a
definite outline of the work will be
determined upon his arrival there.
The Roosevelt road was built
originally with territorial funds, for
winter use only, and since its com
pletion considerable additional work
has been done in an effort to make
it available also for summer use.
But arrivals from that district re
port that it is difficult at present
for even a paekhorse to make the
trip from Roosevelt to Eureka, and
it is believed, in consequence, that
a lot of work will be required to
make the improvements contemplat
ed. The road is about 30 miles in
length and much of the distance
traversed is swamp, which will re
quire corduroying.
GERMAN DYE PRODUCTION
NOT MENACE TO AMERICA
LEV ERKURSEN, Germany, Aug.
6—The total production this year
of German dyestuff manufacturers
will not exceed 60,000 tons, which
will make it impossible to “flood”
the markets of England or America,
or even compete successfully against
American manufacturers, according
to Dr. Carl Duisberg, head of Ger
many’s greatest dye manufacturing
organization.
“We have recently increased our
capital to 1,762,300,000 marks,
which is 719,000,000 more than our
previous capital, but this was the'
inevitable consequence of the tre
mendous depreciation of our cur
rency and resultant increases in the
prices of commodities,” he explains.
"It has nothing to do with intended
attacks on the world market, which
it has been reported we were plan- j
ning.
“Labor difficulties, shortage of1
coal, the unsatisfactory traffic con
ditions; as far as the Rhineland is1
roncerned, the obstacles, caused by i
the Rhine customs barrier; all pre
cept us, in any case, from increasing
our output, and leave us in a far
from satisfactory position. This po
sition is made worse by the hind
rances placed in our way in many
foreign1 countries.”
Dr. Duisberg characterized a re
ported demand in some American .
quarters for the closing of German
iyeworks because “they might be •
used for the manufacture of explo
sives and poison gas in another war”
as “utterly senseless, since Germany
has been deprived of the means of
employing poison gases for war pur
poses, even if she wanted to.” He
added that “no sane man in Ger
many thinks of fresh wars”.
“It is difficult to understand
NEW PAYSTREAK IS FOUND
IN OLD KOYUKUK DIGGINGS
J. H. Flower, of this city, has re
ceived a letter from the Koyukuk
in which he is informed of a new
discovery of pay. the first discovery
of consequence in that camp for a
number of years. The letter says:
“They have made a new strike
on the lower part of Emma creek.
It is the old channel that they lost
some few years ago, and it is on
the bench, and goes across toward
Kelly’s Mistake.
“The work done thus far indicates
that there might be several good
claims. Jim Wilson located the pay
shortly after Lee Wilson left the
camp. There will be quite a lot of
work going on there next winter.
“The ground is from 80 to 90
feet deep where the pay was found.
I “There is gold on Gold creek
’ bench but it is not known how good
i the pay is. although something cer
tain will be known before long.
: They have put in a big ditch and are
! ground sluicing now.”
WISCONSIN REMOVING SIGNS
OF SALOONS OF OLD DAYS
MADISON', Aug. 1—Wisconsin ha
, taken upon itself the task of getting
. rid of all bars, fixxtures, screens
j stalls and all other accourements
1
! which have gone to make up a
, saloon atmosphere. The order foi
' their extermination is carried in a
I prohibition enforcement bill recent
I ly passed by the legislature.
The law requires that “no per
| son having a license for the sale o!
non-intoxicating beverages to be sold
for consumption upon the premises
shall maintain a standing bar oi
counter of any description at which
any such drinks of beverages are
consumed.
“No booth, stall, or any enclosure
of any kind in or connected with
such place or room shall be main
tained,” the law further provides.
It orders in addition that “the win
dows and doors of any such place
or room shall be unobstructed by
screens, blinds, paint or other
article so that a clear and unob
structed view of the interior of said
place or room from the outside may
at all times be had.”
Thousands of Wisconsin saloons,
1,000 or more in Milwaukee alone,
will be affected.
All must go immediately, accord
ing to edict of the prohibition com
missioner. He says he intends to
enforce every feature of it.
Court battle is to follow as soon
as the first arrest is made, proprie
tors of Milwaukee bar-rooms have
said. They reported they would at
tack the measure’s constitutionality
in the supreme court. Some an
nounced they plan in the meantime
to evade the law by one method of
indirection or another.
