The expected annual trouble is
now being experienced at the Chit
ina trestle bridge, that crosses the
Copper river. Five bents have
gone out since Saturday To day
the ice is still running and the water
continues to slightly rise. Carpen-
ter crews are on both sides of the
bridge prepared to start the work
of rebuilding so soon as the elements
will permit. The weather about
Chitina is mild, about twenty de-
grees warmer than it is at Cordova.
1t is possible that two or three more
bents may be carried away. Last
Spring eight bents went out, and no
trains were able to cross the bridge
for eight days. In 1911 the bridge
was tied up for twelve days. 1t is
figured that after the work of re-
pair can be started that four or FIVE
days will be necessary to get every
thing in good order again, so that
trains can run on the Kennicott
branch.

The Prospector is authority for
the statement that the plans of the
Road Commission for the Valdez
dyke provide for an outer protec-
ton of ra1fia work of woven brush,
and the natives of Tatitlek have al
ready offered to do the work and
have even furnished a bid which il
is believed will be very satisfactory.
The natives first secured plans from
the engineer officer of the Commits
sion, Lieutenant Edgerton, and prac-
ticed for some time to see how long
ii would take them to do the work,
then they brought samples to the
Commission and offered bid, which
is said to be very acceptable. The
plans of the Commission have not
been made public, but Colonel Ricn-
ardson informs the Prospector that
he intends to build the most SUBJ
stantial dixie possible for the amount
of money allotted, which is $4,000.

In accordance with a resolution
passed by the Council at it's last
meeting, the judiciary committee,
composed of Capt. Lathrop, Geo. c..
Hazelet and E. V. Boyle, had an in
terview with Judge Overfield Satur-
day night relative to the question of
liquor licenses The Judge in
formed them that he would not be
guided any more by the Council than
he would by church or any other
Organization in the granting of new
licenses. The petition signed in
February by &c of the business men
of Cordova, praying that no addi-
tional liquor licenses be granted for
Cordova until the population has
reached the lumber of $500 was
submitted to his honor. He stated
that he was in accord with the de-
sire to restrict if possible, the mum
Der OF licenses and that il any new
applications were received by him
and they contained the names of any
of the men who had. first placed
themselves on record as opposing
new licenses that he would disre-
gard the names so contained on a
new applicant. He made it clear
however, that the law permitted
VERY little latitude on the part of
the court. 1t was intended as a
measure of local government, and
when petition was presented with
the requisite number of names, and
| there was no protest against the char
acter of the applicant, it would nat
urally follow that a license would
issue.

All who have ever been in the
interior of Alaska are more or less
familiar with Frank Manley's hotel
and natorium at Hot Springs, prob
ably the most costly edifice of the
kind in Alaska. 1t was complete
ly destroyed by fire late one after
noon recently, together with major
portion of it's contents. The flames,
which originated from a defective
fue in the dining room, had gained
considerable Roadway before the fire
was detected, and with the made
quate fire-fghting apparatus at hand
it was impossible to save the build
ing, which was practically reduced to
ashes within an hour The loss is
estimated at $125 900, the buildings
being valued at 100000 and the de-
stroyed furnishings at $4,000. Mat
Refs and wife, who were in charge
of the hotel saved the greater por-
ton of their personal effects and
some of the hote | fixtures. The
hotel was built in 1906 and was open
to the public until the fall of 1911.

Since Col. Swanitz arrived at Sew
ira he has been busy making pleas.
mt announcements as chief engi-
neer of the Alaska Northern Railway
Company. One of the most i'm
portant is the statement that the
passenger rate on the line will be
reduced from 20 to IL cents the
mile; that the express business will
be eliminated save in instances of
packages or parcels, and that regular
freight rates, substantially reducing
the express charges heretofore pre-
vailing, will be established.
Col. Swanitz says the money to
complete the Alaska Northern rail-
way system to the Matanuska coal
fields and to Susitna is available for
use just as soon as the federal gov
eminent raises the embargo on Alas
-ka coal. Until that time there is no
do furt,t~r construction work. The
passage of the Booher coal leasing
bill, now PENDING in Congress. will
solve the problem and result in the
speedy completion of the line. Just
as soon as weather conditions will
permit the road will be opened and
the large auto placed on the run.
It will be necessary to repair several
of the bridges before a heavy train
may pass over. Repairs to the
railway dock have already been start
ed.

Dad Ingram says that while the
Legislature was practically unan-
imous in the desire to repeal the in
iquitous road tax that has been so
partially collected in Alaska, there
was general desire to impose a
poll tax that would be fair and col
lectable. AS result a new law
enacted provides that every male
person in Alaska, excepting sailors.
soldiers. insane persons or terrific
rial charges. volunteer firemen,
paupers, or revenue cutter seamen
over the age of 81 years and under
the age of so years, must pay an
annual tax in the sum of 81 Cam
merry workers are not exempt. The
tax will be taken from their salaries
by the cannery owners. The United
States Commissioners of each pre-
cinct are made supervisors of the
poll tax act. The treasurer of the
territory will be the collector, with
the cooperation of other officials.
Failure to pay will constitute a mis-.
demeanor and fines will be levied.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER 18th. 1913.
PARCELS POST
Eggs Meat and Many Farm Products
May be Sent BY Mail.

Complaint has been made that
many merchants and many farmers
do not seem to appreciate the full
value of the parcels post.
Parcels post has recently been SO
enlarged and extended by the increase
to twenty pounds of the weight limit
for the first and second zones and
by the reduction of rates, that it OPP
ems a vast market for butter and eggs
vegetables and fruit. Every farmer
may now do a mail order" bust
ness. He stands on the same basis
with the largest shipper of small
packages. There are no rebates in
a Covenant monopoly. He can do
away with the long tiresome trips
to the town market, by securing reg
ular customers and supplying them by
parcels post. He can save the small
or large quantities of fruit that other
wise would be lost in the stress OF
more important farm operations, by
putting it all in baskets and mailing
1t to the city. He can do this be-
cause the rural carrier will receive
his packages for delivery at his own
door and there is no time lost. TIE
convenience of this service will even
tually encourage farmers to raise
more garden truck and to go more
extensively into the poultry business.
The parcel post enables the business
farmer to save the middlemen's COM
mission by delivering his produce at
the door of the city or town custom
ers.
The rural routes of the postal SER
vice reach twenty million people who
have never before had an express
service. This is the class to be most
greatly benefited by parcel post, but
it will not be surprising if the farm
er is inclined to be slow in grasping
the benefits and opportunities.

Beef liquidation this week fell
off considerably, and prices are a
shade steadier. Bulk of business was
transacted Monday and Tuesday, as
receipts since then were Insignificant.
Prime steers sold in bulk $3.50 to
$7.65 and cows $3.50 to 1915. A lot
of medium grade stuff was offering ct
the usual discount on choice beef prtc
es.
Swine trade conditions are an uncer
tain quantity at present and values
fluctuated easily. Tops ranged from
$3.50 to $500 with tendency down
ward Outlet is fair for good light
hogs, and smooth heavy weights, but
size of receipts during the next six
days will be the most influential fac
tor on the market.
Sheep house transactions gave the
impression of steady to weaker tore
on lambs. Some choice yearlings in
small lots sold at $3.50 and prime
ewes 1915 to $500. Lambs failed to
reach over $500 at weeks close, but
the number offered for sale was so
small and quality so ordinary the
trade could not settle on a substan-
tial price. Generally mutton and
lambs are steady II quality Is choice.
Outlet of course would be clogged but
it mas absorbed each days receipts
for week without effort.
