WINTER ROAD.
 BE KEPT OPEN
Method Which Proved so Suc- cessfuI Last Winter Will be
 Rep eated This Season.

Local business men are all ready discussing ways and means of providing funds for keeping the government road open over the summit from the first fall of ,snow. They realize that if the road is permitted to go for weeks without traffic, at the beginning of the winter, the task of getting it into shape for travel later will be more expensive and difficult. It. is probable that the question will be brought to the attention of the city council at next meet ing in order to bring the matter before the people of Valdez at the earliest possible date.
 Last year fund was raised among the local business men and the road was made safe for travel at all times. Teams were sent over the road and it was carefully markedly men who un- derstood the business. It was fortunate the precautions were taken early in the season, as the road was in good condition for the transportation of the mails to the interior when it was nec- essary to bring them this way when the railroad went out of commission. The first mail left Valdez over the summit on Jan uary 23 and the last was dis patched on March 8, covering a period of nearly two months, whereby the people of the inter- for were enabled tn receive their mail regularly through the en- terprise of the people of Valdez.
 The immense winter travel which will result from the devet- opmcnt of the Nelchina, Chisana and other interior camps will mean good business to the local merchants and Others who cater to the wants of travellers. The ruadhouses along the road have made extensive preparations and are said to be better equipped this year than ever before.
 The first rush of miners to the Nelchina, which will take place during the next few weeks. will serve to keep the road open un- til the heavy fall of snow comes. IL is then that the road can be marked tu best advantage. The miners going into and returning from the interior will help tu keep it in good shape and will guarantee a road over which supplies can be taken at any sea son.
 The development of the new camps in the interior promise heavier winter travel than ever before known in the history of Valdez. The location of the Nell china is such as tO make it nec- essary for the operators and traders to take in supplies over the winter trails sufficient to last them until the arrival of snow a year hence. The travel to this camp belongs almost exclusive Iy to Valdez and will no doubt do so if the miners can load their sleighs here and be sure of get ting them over the road without loss of time.

SLEEM MEMORIAL
 NOW ASSURED Construction Work On Building Begin At Once and Be Rushed
 to Comp Ietion.

The erection of the Slecm Me morial reading room will be viz orously pushed and before many weeks the men of Valdez will have a pleasant place where they can spend their leisure hours. The foundation timbers are all ready on the site and active building operations will begin in a few days. The building will be 26x3O feet, with twelve-foot ceil- ing, and will be located on the Episcopal church lot between the church and rcctOry.
 Plans have been drawn for the building which will cost about $I,2OO. Nearly une-half of the amount has already been sub scribeh and those who have charge of the work have received promises indicating successful financing of the memorial. The work of providing free reading room for the homeless men Of Ihis section was one which great ly interested the departed physi- elan and his friends and the sO- cieties of which he was an active member are determined that the building will be a credit. to his memory and the esteem i'll which he was held by the people among whom he spent his best efforts.
 The Odd Fellows Lodge, at a re- cent meeting which was only at tended, by a few members, sub scribcd nearly fifty dollars and have indicated that they will do everything in their power to see the enterprise carried to a sue crssful issue. Dr. Sleem was al SD a member of the Arctic Bro therhuud, the Pioneers and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. These lodges all have big memberships and a small amount from each member and other friends would mean a revenue sufficient bo place the memorial free of debt and capable of doing the good work which the doctor planned.

ABLY DEFENDS CURRENCY.
GLASS DECLARES HE WROTE
BILL WITH HIS OWN HAND.
Fiery VirgInian Delivers One of
Most Statesmanlil<c Addresses Ever
Heard I'm Congress I'm Defending
Administration Currency Bill -
His Speech the Talk of Washing
ton.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Chairman
Glass, Of the House banking and cur
rency committee, made before the
Democratic caucus today a speech
which was declared by the majority
OF those who heard it 20 have been
one OF the most statesmanlike and
effective delivered in congress in
many years. Mr.. Glass rarely ad-
dresses congress, and most of his col
leagues were astonished at his elo-
quence and power in attack, which
have made him famous in his own
State. The fiery Virginan declared
that he wrote with his own hand
practically the whole OF the measure
which bears his name, and entered
into a brilliant analysis of the cur
rency problem, sweeping the house
repeatedly off it's feet with his thrilling
climaxes. At the close Of the effort
the Virginian received an ovation
from his colleagues, which lasted
probably ten minutes. The speech is
the talk of Washington tonight.
An address of about half an hour
was made by Representative Rags
dale OF South Carolina, in defence oI
his position as one Of the so-called in
surgents on the banking and currency
committee. Mr.. Ragsdale made some
good points. including not only an
argument in favor OF his position with
regard 20 agricultural securities as q
basis for loans, but criticism OF
that feature of the Glass bill, which
discriminates against the bonds OF
cities and towns of less than $4,000
in population.
1t is considered that a change
quite likely will be made which will
do better justice to the small cities
On the whole. the administration bill
is felt to have been very much the
gamer by the days events. -

CHEAPER ARMOR PLATE.
Navy Department Gets Big Reduc-
tiOn.

Washington, Aug. ga contract
for $500 tons of armor plate for the
newest American dreadnought now
under construction was awarded by
the navy department today to the
Carbon Steel company of Pittsburgh,
at $1S7.04 per ton. a reduction of
$96.99, or SO per cent under the last
accepted bid for this material. The
Carbon company. which never before
has sought a large government con-
tract, and the Carnegie Steel company
were the only bidders
Secretary Daniels attributes the
saving OF s37S,261 to the government
on this contract to the agitation in
favor Of establishing a naval armor
plate factory. In the past 1t has been
the custom to divide contracts be-
tween all bidders at the lowest figure
submitted and all the manufacturers
have put in virtually identical bids.
Real competition developed today
Tor the first time in years. This, how
ever. will not interfere with Sccre-
tary Daniels determination to press
upon congress the government owned
plant plan.
The secretary issued n statement
recalling his recent letter to the SEN
ate urging the necessity for compe-
ution in armor plate contracts and
suggested a congressioal investigation
of the subject.

the rescuing party that t. bateau
had been wrecked and the boys
drowned. After d few hours Of rest,
with only the cover of the sand of the
beach to protect their naked bodies
from the cold wind, the boys swan
out into an inlet at O'Clock this
morning, boarding Sandiford Bees
launch where they were given food
and clothing and this afternoon they
were landed at home. Hernandez
was left at his home, Grimball drop
ped off at James Island and Walker
brought up to Charleston, where the
sorrow of his home on Cannon street
was turned into joy about 1 O'Clock.
The party had left Charleston for a
fishing trip. The section that the
party had selected for their operations
is favorite fishing place but a rough
spot in an easterly wind and it was
under these conditions that the boat
was capsized yesterday morning. The
surf was running so high that the boys
were soon lost sight of and when Mr..
Lynah's yacht began it's search a half
hour later, no trace of the boys OF
the bateau could be found. They had
u iANSN w oSd Niilic the ydCHI
ed the waters about the scene of the
accident and as nightfall came it was
all the harder to find the lads. The
presumption that the boys had beer
drowned was natural and the news
which was telephoned here today from
James Island by Mr.. Bee that the
boys had not been drowned, brought
happiness to more than the homes OF
the young men, for the boys are all
very popular and the fact that Grim
balls father had left his son in care
of Walkers father added to a condi-
ton which made the drowning story
particularly sad one. The boys are
all hardy set and the exposure is not
expected to have any harmful results.
They discarded their clothing in the
water in order to tighten their bur
den and when they finally reached
Kiawah and later sought assistance
aboard Capt. Bees launch, they
were suffering a great deal. This af-
ternoon the reports from the homes of
the boys indicated that they were none
the worse for their experience.
