THE ROAD ID RAINY HOLLOW

The road to tEe boundary line and leading to the Porcupiue and Rainy Hollow mlaes will be completed in ano- ther month and then you need not take the canoe trip up the ChIlcat, unless you want to, in order to reach that rich and interesting country. The work on the road is coming on famously and will be completed to the boundary by the 18th of October and that branch from Hinduski to Wells by the end of Sep tember. The completion of the work within the time limit Of one season and the original estimate made up by Eugin- ger James II. Watson has been 10 the surprise of many who are wise ,n such things, and who said it "cou'dn't be done" In fact Captain Pulsbury him. self was not among the most sarguinc that 1t could be and he Of course will be among the most pleased,
 Completed the road will be a spIen. did avenue opening up a region rich in possibilities and it is believed by many, the fist step toward practicable route to the iuterior-the most practicable route. Tho road leads out Of Hajnes and passing over level neck of land, hits the north bank of the ChilEat a mile west of the town. It follows closely along the north bank Of the river to Wells, a distance from Haines of little over 26 miles. This distance, so lar as the grade is concerned is pract- caIly level the entire way and for long stretches skirts rock cliffs that had to cnipped away to make room for it,
 This part of the work was let to Peter Heuniug, contractor-tbo lowest bidder in the spring competition-and the road commission is well pleased with the manner in which he has hurried it through to satisfactory completion. The river is to be bridged at Wells-a sub  stantial heavy-timber, Howe-,Tuss bridge-and thence leads over the low hills to the boundary, g miles away.
 This part of the work is being done by the road commission itself and is in charge of Assistant Superintendent J. c. Hayes. Here also the work is rapid ly nearing au end. The difficult spot is at the mouth Of the Klihina, near where 1t empties into the Chilcat, the ground being low and the water overaowiug.

AK UHCHARTEO ROCK
 AND X WIRELESS TANGLE

Wireless information became tangled up during the just completed trip Of the Pennsylvania from Seattle to Val dez. In some manner the cableship Burnside, then at Cordova, received from the air report that the Pennsyl- vania had struck d rock of Vancouver island aud the foundation Of her boiler batteries had been jared loose. But tho Pennsylvania arrived at Valdez yesterday, safe and sound after an uu. oyeutiuI voyage.
 Capt.

He believes that in picking up this mes sage the Burnside Sot things twisted.

 Hear Bryan Extolled.
BOUQUET FOR TOM REILLY
Alderman Kelly, of Merlden, Speaks of Qualifications for Congress
 Address by E, <. Thomas,

The democrats of the Twelfth ward last night held a rousing outdoor rally in spite of the cold weather and though many of the audience were shlyorng there was no end of enthus- iasm, Charles Gay, president of the Eleventh and Twelfth Ward Civic association was presiding officer Of the meeting and the two principal speakers were eX-Alderman Kelly of Mcriden and Edwin s, Thomas of West Haven, the democratic candidate for judge of probate.
 Mir. Gay spoke very highly of the democratic national platform and of the democratic candidate, William Jennings Bryan. MT. KeIly's address was rather concerned with state poll ties and especially with the campaign of Mayor Thomas Reilly of Merden for congressman. He spoke of the qualifications of Mir. Reilly for the office and referred to his long admin istratlon of municipal affairs in Meri- den as a proof of his ability. Mir, Reilly. he said, was young hustler, whose voice would be oftea heard in | congress should he be elected.
 MT. Thomas also spoke of state issues and urged the Democrats all to get out and hustle for Judge A. Heaton Rob- ertson, the Democratic nominee fol governor. Judge Robertson, he said had held many offices, and had filled them all with great satisfaction to al concerned. Such a man, he said would make an admirable governor. He then spoke of Lilleys shortcomings.
 Then MT Thomas spoke of local af fairs and urged tho Democrats to get the voters out for the entire Democra tie representatives to Hartford ant carry every senatorial district possible He spoke briefly of his own candi dacy for judge of probate
 The St Patrick's marching club at tended the speakers in the short pa rade which preceded the meeting.
