What is more to the point, Packey
is earning money at a rate never
equaled by any one short of q title
holder. While the champions are
haggling over guarantees and
bonus bits" this clever fellow is
accepting every chance that offers.
He boxes in New York one night,
Philadelphia two days later and
then jumps to Dayton, South Bend
or some other such point, sweeping
in the dollars as he goes.
Today Mcfarland is one of the
richest boys handling the gloves
He appears to. improve with every
appearance, and is a better draw

than is any one of the worlds
champions.

Walter Rowson, the court stenog-

to enter for any of the races. But just
to show what he could do on occasion,
Walter gave IL stunt solus on his way
home. He was riding on the tram on
his way to Iditarod, when the idea
struck him that he would save time by
walking. He alighted from the car.
and started for town al a 1iye-miles an
hour gait. This riled the mules con-
siderably, and they scarcely needed the
lick administered by the driver to urge
them on. With Il supreme effort they
bounded forward, and beat the private
secretary to town by four minutes aud
a few seconds.

VETO STOPS
ROAD WORK

| Lieut.. EigertOn, OF the Alaska road
commission, left last Tuesday for Holy

the colonel, Lieut.. Edgerton will CON
tinue on to Nome and other points on
! the Seward peninsula. His business in
that section completed, he will 90 to
! Fairbanks, and thence Outside over

Lieut.. Edgerton arrived in the Idita-
rod with the intention of prosecuting
| further the work commenced under his
direction last year; but before he could
commence operations Il telegram WAS
received from Washington informing
him that the army appropriation bill
had been vetoed by President Taft. AS
the provision for Alaskan roads is In
corporated in the army appropriation
bill, the work in hand or projected for
the territory had to he curtailed and
in many cases abandoned altog ether
until funds become available
Until few days ago, Road Commits
sioner a. E. Light had Il force varying
from seven 10 fifteen men employed on
the road between Iditarod and Flat.
Much good work has been done on the
road, which is now in excellent coudi-
ton for six miles: and it was hoped
this summer would see its complexion.
But the telegram announcing the Pres
ident's veto has nullitied these hopes,
and Mr.. Light has been compelled to
withdraw his men.
1t had been the intention, also, to
improve the trail between Iditarod and
D.keman, and to stake anew the stretch
between Diheman and the Yukon river:
bat this will not be possible now.
Iditarod is not the only sufferer by
the veto. There were five parties, to-
falling about 100 men and more than -
teams, on the Fairbanks-Valdez road,
and the completion of that highway
was looked for this season. But the
men and teams are now being with
drawn. On the Seward trail there are
two parties at work-one in the neigh
bOrhood of Happy, and the other at
Crow Creek pass, in the vicinity Of
Seward, As these parties had their
supplies on the ground, however. and
are not easily reached at this time of
the year, they may be able to proceed
with their work without hindrance.
1t is hoped to secure money to carry
on some of the more pressing work
from an emergency fund. There is Il
provision in the rules goyersing the
Alaska education fund whereby sur
pluses in that fund may be turned over
to the general road fund, and it may
be that $50, 600 will become available
from that source. But this is not u
certainty.
