SEEKING DREDGING
GROUND NEAR KENAI

Prof. Minor Roberts, dean of the
University of Washington school of
mines, accompanied by our former
townsman, L. c. Wernecke, who was
the late Chief Engineer Hawkins as
sistant during the construction days
of the Copper River & Northwestern
Railway, are prospecting the gravel
of the Kenai river, searching for
good dredging proposition. Mr.. Rob-
erts has complete outfit for this
kind of work and is an experienced
mining engineer. The outfit consists
of the latest thing in Empire drills,
and the first ground that will be
the Towle ground, just below the
Cunningham group between the
lakes. They will plat the ground
and then systematically drill every
acre, and with the careful record
that will be kept of holes, character
VI 6idNCt, CudTdClcT VI DSuTOCh, re-
suits of panning, etc., can tell exact
ly what dredge will be able to do.
The Towle ground was pretty thor
oughly prospected last winter as far
as surface prospecting can be carried
on, and the Empire drill will be able
to obtain depth that it is impossi-
BILE to reach on account of the water
that is encountered as soon as hole
reaches the river level. The values
shown up so far are very encourag-
ing, and If they go down, it is under
stood that large dredge will be
placed on the ground this winter and
all preparations made for the next
seasons work. In addition to the
Towle ground, the same outfit has
arranged to take over other ground,
both between the two lakes and on
the lower river or between Skilak
lake and the town of Kenai.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF
FUTURE OF ALASKA

While we are frank to admit that
times are hard in Alaska, due very
largely to the failure of the govern
ment to grant us relief in the way OF
legislation which will permit the
opening of the coal areas, we have
plenty of company in the states,
where business conditions are at a
very low ebb. There appears to be
every reason to believe that the
Smoot coal bill will pass this session
Of Congress, in which event times will
Immediately show vast improve
ment in these parts. Wait and MUIR
muir not, and all will be well.-Sew-

many progressive ideas given them. Hon. Hamp Williams resopnded in his usual genial way and being an extremely practical man, went straight to the point. He talked of Arkansas, of course, for that is the topic he loves most to discuss in the schools. He then talked of the mean ing of Thanksgiving and many other special days and insisted that par ents talk more with their children and teach them the why and where fore of such things. He argued that the parents do not talk enough with their boys and girls about the issues in life that they must later face. At the close of this talk, MT. Williams read aloud the proclamation of his excellency William Howard Taft, president of the United States and commented on some of the excellent passages speaking of tine prosperity of this country during the past year.
 MT. Crockett announced that this closed the literary program and in- vited the auctioneers of the boxes -o come forward. M: Wheatley and Mir. Watson alternated in this work and made everything so amusing that the party became very merry and the bidding ran high It was announced that the proceeds were to go to the school fo. school improvement pur- poses. I he net proceeds amounted to $20.60 Each successful bidder was allowed to eat with the lady who prepared the picnic box. Those box es were things of beauty, being much oranmented with fancy papers, flow CTS, ribbon. etc. MT. Hamp Williams was the generous bidder, who bid in a box and returned it to be sold. he returned it to be resold. Again it was knocked down to him at q large figure. He desired only to help the school, though admitting the fried chicken ands other dainties were of the best.
 Dr. Garrison offered prize to the best writer of a composition on the hookworm and MT. Crockett offered ohe for the best composition recount ing the events of the meeting Dr. Garrison, also donated his bid inr box to be resoid for the benefit of the school improvement.
 MT. Mike Pittman, principal, and MT. Steele Kennedy, assistant. were the recipients of many compliments tor their part in the arrangements of details and for the excellent orde. maintained by their pupi.s.
 Tonight the same speakers, with the addis-on of Judge Curl and Mir. John A Riggs, of the local newspaper New Efa,' will go to the Howard school. to attend similar meeting and to address the people
