TRAIL E
 IN FINE SHAPE

Atlin, March ls-This city pres ents a scene Of bustllng activity these days, owing to the daily ar rival of stampeders bound for the Teslin country.
 The new route which leads south east from Atlin to the lower end of Teslin lake. is we'll broken and comparatively level the whole dis tanee. Formerly the trail led from this city to Surprise lake, thence to the north end of Gladys lake and from there to Nisutlin bay, from which it is about seventy-five miles to the lower end of Teslin, making it about one hundred and fifty miles to the new grounds, but with the opening of the new trail straight route has been opened reducing the distance to ninety miles.
 There has been very little snow this winter and it is believed that an early breakup will come as the sun falls. directly upon the ice which will rapidly melt away.
 It is difficult to say what will be the outcome of the new discovery, but whether it is another Bonanza or not, the incoming prospectors will do much work in the Atlin dis trict which is always good, there fore the most conservative can see big benefits to come from the pres ent advertising which both dist ricts are getting.

Republicans and prOgressives Of Valdez are proposing a primary for the selection of candidates for fed eraI judge. district attorney and marshal For this division.

This papers view of the matter is that this is a democratic fight-it, indeed, there is a 1ight-and 1t is up to the democrats to settle their own fam ly rows. without outside interfer- ence.
 The editor of this paper is a member of the democratic divisional committee. As such he insisted that one oI these district offices should be allotted to a Seward man, In fact, he urged that Seward, Val deg and Cordova should have an of flee. An arrangement was made
 n this basis. Cordova choose the judgship, Seward the district attor- ueyshlp and Valdez the marshalship, Now this is an equitable distribu- tion of the offices. Of course, a kick was made, but the same thing would have happened if any other persons had been recommended Seward Gateway.

Fully 1000 people attended the sec

spices of the police pension fund at
the Assembly hall last evening and
proved to be one of the most enjoyable
functions that has ever been held in
Hammond Although the spacious hall
is the largest in the city, 1t was found
too small to accommodate all the dan
GERS at one time. The large gathering
was very orderly and not one mishap
occurred to mar the pleasure of the
evening.
The hall, which recently underwent
a thorough overhauling, was gorgeous
ly decorated. in fact, Da Prom has es-
tablished a reputation for beautiful
decorations. The color scheme was
yellow and green with a profusion of
apple blossoms. Those who saw it
was unanimous in voting it the most
beautiful hall ever opened to a Ham
mond assembly.
The dancers began to arrive as early

PROBLEM
SETTLED
BY BETz
Housing Question in Ham
mond Taken up By Manu-
facturers Who Propose to
Organize 100000 Home
Building Company.

AT the instigation of F. S. Betz. who
has made a hobby of the study of the
housing question the Hammond manu-
facturers association at last took steps
to organize a 100000 home building
company. s as a3
The project is one of tremendous
potentiaIity in view OF the fact that
the sole purpose of the company is to
provide homes for the employees of
Hammond manufacturing establish
ments: that is, for those of them who
have demonstrated by their length of
service and their thrift that they could
pay for a home II given the opportun-
ity.
+. s. Betz said today: This PROPOSE
ton is a go There is now no uncer-
tainty about it. We expect to make
scores, If not hundreds, of Hammond
people self-respecting home owners to
replace the fly -by-night home renters. /"
Betz proposes. as he has frequently
suggested before. that these homes be
| built on the unit plan. A young mar
] ried man need not build more rooms
than he needs at first. but he should
; own the property and he should build
| some kind of a house on it.
Mr.. Betz is agreed that these work
ingmen's homes should only be built on
| lots that can be had for $3.50, with
/ all improvements paid for More ex-
pensive lots simply add to the cost OF
holding the property.
/ The matter is to be taken up at q
| meeting to be held in the rooms of the
Hammond Chamber of Commerce mex,
Friday night and also the following
| Monday night
1t is understood that such concerns
| as the Standard Steel Car Co. would
| much rather support a project of this
| kind than to build company houses.
1t is possible that the capital stocI
OF the company will be increased and

1t has been demonstrated that for
the rent that is charged for one of the

Standard that good home can be
maintained and finally owned by the

The problem is such an important
one that a number of meetings are to

problem. Mr.. Betz interest in the prof.
