TO CONFER WAGNER
BUREAU ACTIVITIES
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 7.—Dr.
John J. Tigert, United States Com
missioner of Education with head
quarters in Washington, D. C., ar
rived in Seattle yesterday in con
nection with the government educa
tional activities among the natives in
Alaska. He will prolong his stay in
this city to about four days and will
be in conference with J. H. Wagner,
the head of the Alaska division of
the Bureau of Education who has his
offices in Seattle at the present time.
The reindeer industry in Alaska
among the natives has grown to such
immense proportions that it has be
come a difficult problem to handle
by the bureau of education, said Ti
gert in an interview in this city with
newspaper correspondents. Herds of
late, have increased so rapidly that
in some par^s of the Seward penin
sula rhey are so numerous as to be
of little value. Our problem now,
said Tigert, is to find a ready mar
ket for the surplus stock that is not
required for the native’s use.
A party of teaheers are sailing on
the steamship Victoria for the fol
lowing destinations: MBr. and Mrs.
Edward Reese, Diomede; Mr. and

A party of oil experts composed
of Dan Nolan, chief geologist for the

Standard Oil company, passed thru
Seward on the Admiral Watson, en

they will take the Standard Oil boat,
Pilgrim, for Kanatak, to be on hand
when oil is struck in that field. They
will inspect oil claims around the
Hubbel Dome, and make a general
reconnaissance of the oil district.
WHAT HAPPENED ON VICTORIA
WHEN IT NEARED MT. KATMAI
The following is taken from the In
dependent Squawk, a paper which is
publishd without provocation or rea
son ,aboard the Victoria on her first
trip North:
It was in the summer op 1922
when Fairbanks rode into Nome on
a White Horse. Here he met Ruby
a beautiful daughter of Nome. A
whirlwind courtship followed. He
had a Skagway about him and was
willing to Teller anything. Juneau,
! he won her. They were married by
St. Michael at Holy Cross. Nov it
i- learned that the wedding was a
fake, just a Bluff. He has cast her
from his home clad only in an East
Cape. A Council was called in Nome
and the Marshall is hot on his trail.
It is lumored that the villain F.v'r
banks is seeking Anchorage in Dime
Creek. Alaska law must act with
Hot SprSgs and play the Ram part.
Circle the Territory if necessary
with an Eagle boat but put the field
where he will never leave another
beautiful daughter of the Northland
Flat.
On the 29th of July, Miss Jessie
Orr of McCarthy, and Antono Nel
son were united in marriage before
U. S. Commissioner C. H. Sundma
cher. Miss Della Moore acted as
bridesmaid and Amil Steel as best
man. After the ceremony the bride
and groom invited their friends on
an automobile ride to Nicholi, where
the wedding breakfast was served.

SUSUNARIVEMRIDGE
IS NOW COMPLETED
The 530 foot suspension bridge
crossing the Susitna river at Curry,
directly to the rear of the Curry ho
tel, has been completed, says the
Fairbanks News-Miner. Many tour
ists and passengers on the trains are
taking advantage of the short stop
over, crossing to the opposite side.
The bridge was constructed by C.
H. Holmes of the engineering depart
ment of the Alaska Railroad and
serves the purpose of opening up a
scenic point, on top of a hill approx
imately 2000 feet in height, afford
ing a clear and unobstiucted parora
ma view of the majestic Mt. McKin
ley and other beauty attractions.
The long span was made on the
spot and is constructed of selected
timber covered with decking, the
whole being suspended from two
heavy cables, reaching from shore to
shore. Heavy wiring, to a heightof
six feet on both sides, form an ad
mirable safeguard for the pedestrian
and pack horses- Guide lines run
from various points on the swaying
bridge, to both banks on shore, elim
inate to a great extent, precarious
walking, on the light structure which
swings quite dizzily at times as one
passes over.
The completion of this bridge
marks the forerunner of many other
innovations which the management
of the Alaska railroad is contemplat
ing for the benefit of tourist traffic,
which has already been largely dem
onstrated, by the amount of travel
this season ,and wdiich for next sum
mer, promises to show a gratifying
increase.

which was accused of violating the
provisions of the closed season.
The decision was a far reaching
one and will have an important bear
ing on the fisheries and game ques
