Special Corresponence.
 DEERING. Alaska, Aug. 25.-What We had outwardly scoHcu at and sin Gersly hoped against, but inwardly really expected and quaked over. has come to pass. Rains up tn the noun tains combined with the hydraulic water has swollen our river to such an extent that freighting on our road Is extremely hazardous. The river crossings are deep and the current swift and strong. on his last trip up river. Freighter Frank Knapp. had one of his horses drowned. Until the water subsidies. freighting will be slow. and while most all of the dredge Construc- tion material is at it's field of useful ness, all the fuel is still here; and until that goes up the dredges cannot operate. Mir. Fries had d little fuel oil at his works and turned his ma chinery over. He is ready to lift the gold out of the river bed. but until the freighters can get the fuel tO him. the gold will remain where it is. We hope the rains will ease up and give our dredges a shanee.
 The dredge coming in for the kug- ruk this fall. will doubtless be hauled to its destination over the snow and ice the coming winter, but this piOn- eer dredge will need supplies next summer, which will be only the be- ginning of a large amount of freight that will be forwarded from here up the Kugruk. and there is no wagon road. If NIT. Hoffmark would kindly inform us what measures to take to secure provision for road on the Kugruk, in addition to the needed provision for the Inmachuk. in Uncle Sam's next years appropriation, we would follow his instructions. and hold ourselves in readiness at all times to requite the favor whenever requested by Mir. H. We must have roads in here to develop our resources. and We look to our good old Uncle for the means. This section will add to hiS wealth if he will extend to us n help ing hand.
 This town is beginning to take on the old time liveliness. when we had many individual mining operators on the river: then three saloons. four eat ing houses and three stores. all made money here. Several saloon keepers have ranches on the outside bought with Inmachuk money. The several storekeepers are all financially fat; two sold out their businesses and en- gagged in other pursuits. All but one of the hotel proprletors drifted away

with money in their jeans. Recently there has been quite a furry in real estate.
 Charles Okuda has purchased the big Lawrence building and Is convert ing 1t into a hotel: he has also made an offer for an adjoining property. Frank Knapp. the freighter. bought the old Curry business block. and will remodel it into a storage warehouse for hay and grain. and offices for himself. Mir. James Black purchased the splendid residence of a former operator. so that when he and his wife tire of the arduous duties in cumbent on the management of the Coop roadhouse up river. they can come down here to the coast and en- joy the health giving breezes of Kotzebue sound. and forget the trials and tribulations of roadhouse keeping.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND DEPART
MENTAL EFFICIENCY.

President Taft's message to con-
gress urging the elimination OF dupli-
cate offices and the increase OF the
civil service list. points out how some
ten to twelve million dollars per year
may be saved by the government,
without reducing the effectiveness OF
the government departments. Briefly
the message proposes that the light
house and life saving services be con-
solidsted into one bureau: that the
revenue cutter service be transferred
from the treasury department to the
department OF commerce and labor:
that various auditing offices be con-
solidated, and that system be intro
duced in the methods OF handling
correspondence and the distribution
of government documents. First and
second class postmasters, he recon-
mends. should be appointed from the
civil service and not from the ranks
of political workers.
The message is one OF the many
in which the President has shown his
thorough grasp OF department work.
ings and business conditions. IL is
in line with the other practical steps
which the national administration
has taken to introduce efficiency and
economy in government work. One
OF the most substantial achievements
OF Mr.. Taft's administration. has been
the simplificatiOn OF department work
the reduction OF unnecessary expense
and the elimination OF waste. In all
, departments this has been noticeable
and in the postoffice department es.
! pecially so. In that department an
: annual deficit OF 10000. 900 has been
wiped out. and the postofflce has been
conducted at a small profit.
The saving Of from twenty-five "a
thirty million dollars per year in de
partment operations is a splendid evi
dence of the efficiency which the Taft
administration has successfully intro
duced. However. this is. of course

THE IRON INDUSTRY AND PREsI.
DENT TAFT.

The United States Steel Associa-
ton has just announced a new bond
issue aggregating s3o.500,OO0. This
Is the first bond issue the Steel AS
ISOLATION has made since 1904.
Reasons for II are frankly stated.
Namely. the profits OF the association
were not sufficient last year to pro-
vide an adequate surplus for neces-
sary improvements and to finance i'm
provements already authorized. In
other words. in order TO maintain the
extensive and costly plants OF the
Steel Association in a condition Of
efficiency. it is necessary to sell
bonds.
This is one OF the many evidences
OF the close competitive conditions
that today prevail in the iron and
steel industry. A few weeks ago the
Republic Iron Company. one OF the
largest independent iron companies in
the United States. passed its quarter
ly dividend because its earnings for
the year were not sufficient to pay
them. 1t is no secret that the Wheel.
Ing Iron and Steel and the LaBelle
Iron & Steel companies. big local en-
terprises, have not been able during
the past twelve months to make earn
ings sufficient TO pay a reasonable
dividend upon their investments.
Roth OF these local concerns are ably
and conservatively managed They
are not overcapitalized. They have
had large output and employed
labor. but the returns to the corpora
ton themselves have not been suf-
hcient TO pay even moderate divi-
dends. This is one side OF the pic.
