 The mayor congratulated the men on their achievement and they in. turn congratulated the people of Valdez on the comple- tion of wagon road over which automobiles can be run from Fairbanks to the coast, and the people of the interior were also great gathers, as they now could reach Valdez in three days and Seattle in a week. ''The trip from Skagway to Fairbanks re- quires twenty days,' said Roman, land a great saving of time can be made via the Valdez route."
 Robert Sheldon, who drove the car, spoke of the trail and said that with the repair of certain bad spots a fast service could be maintained into the interior me- tropolis from Valdez.
 A large number of Valdez cit izens were given ride about town and many attended the dance.> Adam Swan was in charge of the arrangements and the Moose donated the use of the hall. The musicians played without compensation.

For her uncle's brother Jules walked be- hind a pair of mules blowing up a fertile meadow by the sea; and the mules reached out behind with their heels and knocked him blind, and my granny feared a kindred fate for me-" Said the granger: "Oh, the duce. You have always an excuse, you big loafers who are voting in the sun. And the honest men who work must support the moldy shirk when the summer with it's harvesting is done. Which is why I often think that the coun- try's on the blink; if our govern ment were worth a pint of pitch, every loafer foul and stale would be breaking rock in jail, while the sheriff fecked his midriff with a switch" WALT MASON.
