NOT MUCH ROAD WORK
WILL BE DONE THIS YEAR
No other work than winter staking
need be expected on the Tanana-Arctic
City trail for perhaps two or three years.
While in Tanana Major Richardson in
quired at some length into the condi
tions on the trail, but said frankly that
so many other sections seemingly of
greater importance are making demands
to such an extent on the resources in
reach of the road commission that it is
impossible to more than give thoughtful
consideration to the Tanana-Koyukuk
trail now.
Major Richardson said there will not
be much road work done in the Iditarod
this year. A cleared road from Dikeman
to Iditarod City and from Iditarod City
to Flat creek is about all that is contem
plated in that district this year. These
two pieces of road will enable miners to
get their machinery onto the ground
after the snow fliee.
WILLIAM LUNN
SHOT A BEAR
William Lunn, at his wood camp three
miles north of town, killed a big, black
! bear at 4 o’clock this morning.
; Mr. Lunn had been in town two or
! three days under the doctor’s care, and
I when he went out to camp yesterday he
found the bear had broken into the tent
and carried away a lot of sugar, bacon
; and other supplies. That night the
rightful owner of the grub slept with
i one eye open and when the bear came
back he shot him through the heart.
Mr. Lunn had a dispute with the
same bear about six weeks ago. There
was a footlog across the creek over
which the man claimed jurisdiction and
the bear contested the claim. Then the
man knocked the bear down with an
ax. That settled the matter until the
bear took advantage of Mr. Lunn’s eb
sence to commit robbery.
AMATEUR
MTN. GLIMERS
Portland, Oregon, Aug. 3.—The
Portland Oregonian and New York
Herald joint expedition for the summit
of Mt. Mckinley failed. The members
of the party claim that no one ever
reached the summit.
The party declares that a precipice
and unbroken cliffs 5,000 feet high sur
round the top, and that it is impossible
for man to scale the mountain in its
present condition.
This refutes the claims of the mem
t>ers of the Lloyd party who declared
they accomplished the journey during
the month of March. It will be re
called that Lloyd and his men declared
that anyone desiring to go to the summit
should ascend at that time of the year
for fear of the trail disappearing as soon
as the milder weather should come.
Ottawa, Ont., July 17.—William J.
White inspector of Canadian immigra
tion agencies in the United States, stated
that 150,000 Americans will cross over to
western Canada this season according to
a reliable estimate. Mr. White has just
returned from an inspection trip.
“At all meetings of bankers out there
now,” he said, “the prevailing com
plaint is about the great amount of
money going over to Canada to buy
land.”

Mulligan To Go
To the Iditarod
James P. Mulligan, for the past two
years bookkeeper for the Northern Com
mercial Company at Tanana, will leave
in a few (lays for Dikeman in the Idita
rod, where he will have charge of the
company’s store and warehouses under
the suj>ervision of John W. Duncan.
Mr. Mulligan had planned to go to San
Francisco, but at the last moment it
was decided to send him to the Iditarod,
an arrangement very pleasing to him
self. He has many friends in Tanana
who will wish him good success in the
new field.
Edward Oskar Pieper, recently from
Forty Mile, earlier in the Koyukuk, and
still earlier resident in that German
city after which the meat trust named
its ground beef, succeeds Mr. Mulligan
at the N. C.’s Tanana post.
Jack Cavanaugh buys and sells Second
hand Goods of all kinds.
