WILL CRUISE
A NEW TRAIL
TO TOL0vANA
COMMERCIAL CLUB AND OlNES
TO SEND OUT MEN
TOMORROW.

At the solicitation Of number
of Fairbanks mining men who have
returned from the Tolovana stampede
and who report that the present
trail is nearly impossible for large
outfits. the executive board Of the
Fairbanks Commercial club has de-
cided to send an expedition into the
Tolovana country for the purpose Of
cruising out new trail. 1t is I'M
derstood that the club is acting in
conjunction with the people of Dimes,
who will send Tom Verdier to re-
present them, while Ed Hendrickson
will be sent from Fairbanks.
The decision to take action in the
matter was reached at meeting
Of the executive board of the club
Saturday afternoon. 1t had been
hoped that the Alaska Road commits.
sion would do something toward bet
tering the condition of the trail
However, it was authoritatively stat
ed at the club meeting that there
were no funds on hand for the pur-
pose. and the club officials decided
to take hold. Therefore. should the
representatives of Fairbanks and
ol1tS Ielu1u " I'LL d Id VI dUlt Icpol l,
it is probable that movement will
soon be started toward raising funds
for the swapping out of a new
winter trail. The road commission
will also be asked to do its part
next year.
Most of those who have returned
to Fairbanks from the Tolovana
country are Of the opinion that the
present trail from Dimes to the dig
gings is about II miles in length.
None of them had any means Of
computing the distance when they
made the trip, excepting by guessing
the time they made. 1t took one team
ster four days to go in and three
days to come back to Dimes and he
figures that he made at least 25
miles per day on the return trip.
LEAVE TOMORROW.
Hendrickson and Verdier will get
away from Dimes on their cruising
trip tomorrow morning. Their route
will be from Dimes across the divide
between the Chatanika river and
Washington creek, thence down
Washington to the Tolovana river,
and up that stream to the diggings.
In this manner, all Of the high sum-
mits, except the one just out of
Dimes, will be avoided, it being the
intention of the trail blazers also
to avoid niggerhead flats wherever
possible. Mr. Hendrickson stated
yesterday that he thought that the
contemplated route would be but
very little longer than the old trail,
which crosses seven high SUBMITS.
Reports coming from the Tolovana
country continue to be of the best.
The latest is that nine feet of three
cent dirt has been found on Number
S below on Livengood creek, and
it is believed that even better pay
will be discovered during the win
ter. Therefore, the general impress
sion is that the new district will
be booming camp by the coming
spring.

Three Stampeders
Take Big Outfit

Fully equipped for winters pros

C. E. Keene, E. B. Gray and George

Walter Cooley Was
I'll But Not Lost

That Walter Cooley, the we'll known
old-time mining man. has not been
lost. but has been seriously i'll on
Dry creek in the Delta country, is
the latest report to reach Fairbanks.
Information to the effect that he
was lost was BROUGHT to town lost
week by Harvey Huddlestun, who was
also the recipient Of the word that
Cooley was i'll.
The first report was founded on
the fact that Cooley had not been
to his cabin on Portage creek for
six weeks, it having been believed
that he had wandered away How
ever, it now develops that he is
recovering from a long siege of
sickness at an Indian camp on Dry
creek 1t is expected that he will
arrive in Fairbanks within the next
few days.

Much advertise has long ago
Cotton been accepted by every
body as an established
fact, but when the advertisement Is
for charitable contributions the rule
does not always apply. However
the Rev. II. II. Lumpkin. of St Mat

instance in which advertisement for
contributions proved profitable.
According to an item in the Alas
kan Churchman. Of which Mr.. Lump
kin is the editor, notices were pub
lished in some Outside church papers
last summer by the Rev. c. E. Bet
ticher, Mr.. Lumpkin's predecessor,
announcing that ST Matthew'S hospi-
tai was in need of absorbent cotton.
A month later. absorbent cotton
began to arrive from various places,
the packages being Of various sizes
These contributions continued until
navigation stopped. when they to-
tailed about 100 pounds.
Then a letter was received by Mr..
Lumpkin from his home state, South
Carolina in which it was stated that
a church there had purchased a
full bale of absorbent cotton for St.
Matthew's hospital This, however,
can not get here until after naviga-
ton starts next spring. but there is
eHOuSH already OH mana 10 90 until
far beyond that time. 1t is possible,
too, that many other packages were
sent and held up on the way on &C

were some seeking information about
the country. one being from a man
who wanted to know where some
Of the new towns will be establish
ed along the railroad. He said he
wanted to get into one of the new
municipalities for the purpose of
establishing a business there.
In nearly every one of the letters
some reference was made to the
proposed railroad, and it is evident
from their contents that it was
largely due to the promised early
letters were written and the sub
scriptions were sent in.
1t was to be expected that the
people on the Outside would begin
writing for information here as soon
as the route Of the new railroad is
announced. but it was hardly ex
pected that much would be heard
from them while the route remains
an uncertainty. So, between the
lines of these letters can be read
an awakening interest in Fairbanks
and the country surrounding it. The
letters are undoubtedly fore-runners
Of multitudes that will come within
few months after the route of the
new road is announced.

STRONG PETITION Is
PRESENTED GOVERNOR
Two Young Men Convicted on
Charges of Burglary and
Assault; Sentenced on
Four Cases 3 Years

Little Rock, May 6.-Probably
the strongest petition ever pre-
sented to a Governor for Gle
mency was submitted in behalf
of two young men of Cleburne
county. George Davis, Jr., and
Thomas Garrett, each twenty
years of age were convicted last
March, on a charge of burglary
and assault. They were senten-
ced in four cases each for three
years to run concurrently.
The petition for their pardon
was signed by the Circuit Judge,
the Prosecuting Attorney, twen-
tyfour petit jurors sixteen grand
jurors, T. M. Norwood and J. w
Jones, fathers of the young wo-
men who had been insulted, and
several hundred citizens.
The defense of the young men
was thaC they were drunk at the
time and not responsible. The
petitioners say:
knowing the boys to have
come from good families, under
standing that from the start
they have penitent, have been
obedient to all the powers that
be, and believeing that they are
now fully reformed and will
make good citizens in the future
we pray you that they may be
fully and freely pardoned."
The petition was granted, on
condition that they hereafter
refrain from the use of strong
drink, and that he shall violate
no laws of the state.

from Mexico to Belize, British

The heaviest looser of the
raids was the c. c. Mengel Jr.,
