ALASKA BOY MAKES -
 WONDERFUL RECORD

George Pucher, l5 years and Il months old, is no heavyweight physi- cally. But mentaly-look at this rec ord:
 valedictorlan of the class of 1914 of the Broadway high school, had sui. ficient credits to be graduated from the four.year course two and one-half years after his entrance into high school, with 24 Els. 5 G's and l P. (E is the highest attainable mark; G the next. He was then only 15 years old. At the end of three years he had ad. ded six more Els to his record, with no lower mark in any subject, and now he Is winding up his triumphant course through algebra, geometry, classics and other studies with total of S4 Els, 5 G's and only one P. In his last year he has had nothing but the high est attainable marks.
 Young Pucher Is a native of the far North, born in the shadow of the Arctic circle, near Dawson. Almost all of his common school education was received in Fairbanks, Alaska. His high school education has all been at Broadway. He is Q healthy, happy normal youngster, with chubby face and the appearance of boy who knows both how to work and how ito play.
 You're pretty little for a valedic- torian, aren't you, George?" he was asked by one who had. perhaps, al- lowed his ideas of the size of high school students to grow up with him.
 "oh, Tin older than look" he said simply going on to explain that he had almout reached the advanced age of sixteen.
 He intends to enter the University of Washington, but he has not yet made up his mind what career he lh- tends to follow.-seattle Post.Intelli- gencer.

WORLDS LARGEST
 SURVEY IN ALASKA


 sITKA, Alaska, May S.-Scarring a broad line across 600 miles of wilder ness in the Far North, in order that the possessions of the United States and Canada may have a distinct sep aratlon at every point, will be com, pleted during the coming open season, The work has been in progress since 1907 under the direction of Thomas Riggs, IT,, civil engineer, representing the United States Alaskan boundary commission, who is now member of the Alaska railroad commission, and IT. D. Craig. representing a similar commission of Canada.
 Although the United States and Can ada have been neIghbors in the Far North for nearly a half century. the exact dividing line between their pos sessions, especially as to the northern portion. was, previous to this survey, indefinite and conflicting. Many dis putes arising, the two governments de- cided finally, through their commis- sions, that an absolute survey, clear, ly established and marked for all time should be made along the one hundred and forty.hrst meridian, from the Mount St. Elias Alps, on the Pa; clAc, to the Arctic ocean, a distance of approximately 500 miles.
 The United States surveying party consisted of from sixty to eighty men each season since the work was under taken. Chief Engineer Riggs, himself a young college man, selected his aids from the hardest classes-cowboys, forest rangers, prospectors, timber cruisers and frontiersmen, with a lib- eral sprlnkling of engineers. New ex- pediations were organized each spring, although many of the men who started at the beginning have remained in the service up to the present time. It was the custom, too, to leave few men in the North each winter to care for equipment and supplies.
 The actual visible results of the six or seven years of efforts, twenty'foot vista, cut, like a gigantic avenue or lane, through all timber and brush dis trlcts, together with monuments set at intervislble points, from three to four miles apart.
 The monuments erected are of two types. depending upon the importance of the locality. At prominent stream crossings and main points of travel the line marker consists of five-foot aluminium bronze shaft, weighing 300 pounds, set in 2.OOO pounds of con- crete. At less important points the monument is smaller. being designat' ed as a cone, cast of the same metal and requiring only 1,5OO pounds of concrete for the base. There are ap' proximately 200 of these monuments along the 600 miles of boundary. The work of conveying the heavy materials for their construction, mostly on pack animals, sometimes on the shoulders of the men themselves, was very slow and laborious.
 This survey is declared by engin eers to be the straightest in the world for the length encompassed.- New York World

 One of the most Interesting features of the great development work now underway near Juneau is the facility within which a thorough organization has mastered the transportation prob lem connected with the erection of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Com pany's great impoundIng dam at Sal mon creek. The foregoing remarks were made by an engineer competent to be a judge of such matters.
 For instance" he said, consider the following: The LaTouche brought l. 200 tons of cement for the great i'm pounding dam arriving here Saturday night; the Santa Ana came in Mon. day with 700 tons of the same material and the Seward will be in today with another 1000 tons, making total of 2,9OO tons which must all be on the ground where the process of dam erection is underway within space of four days, because 1t must be taken care of as fast as the ship can dis charge.
 "The problem is handled in this wise, As soon as a cement ship comes in Q gasoline tug proceeds to the dock with a big barge in tow on which are ranged in a series of trains several cars standing on track placed on the barge deck. The ship discharg. es from the hold direct to the cars. As soon as the cars are all filled the tow departs for the Salmon creek landing three miles up Gastineau channel, and another barge similarity equipped takes It's place.
 "The loaded barge proceeds to Sal. mon creek and ties up to an incline slip built to rise and fall with the tide and connected with a solid in. cline tramway leading directly to the crest of the first hill at a height Of 300 feet and distant altogether about 2OOO feet. The cars pass from the barge onto an apron car of original design, and created to meet the con. ditions of a heavy 25.foot tide that prevails at this place. The apron car is hoisted to the solid tramway where the loaded cars are drawn on to the track and started on the first lap of the journey.
 "At the top of the first hill the cars are side tracked to the yard of a little narrow guage railroad operated by an S.ton Porter locomotive. About two miles out the grade becomes too stiff for the little Porter engine and so 1t is displaced by cotton Shay engine which hauls the train over a grade averaging about 7S6 until the second incline tramway is reached about three miles from Gastineau channel. Here the cars loaded with cement make another ascent of 300 feet in a. distance of about 1,2O0 and reach the base of the dam construct ion.
 "An arch has been left on the track level through which the cars pass tc the warehouse within the ImpoundlnG pond above the dam. The cement ther drops on to the conveyor belt and i' carried to the mixing tower or k stored in the warehouse, depending largely upon the activity with whicl it arrives on the scene.
 "The cement is never touched b! hand after it leaves the hold of tht ship until 1t reaches the warehous, where the conveyor belt carries it t' the mixer. It Is handled again fl opening and dumping the sacks il the mixer. but that is all-machiner! does the remainder of the hard work. l

Curious WAYS Of the Papuan..

W S'S
In the Girara country. Papua. a dis.
trict Of New Guinea, where the coun.
try is almost entirely submerged. the
natives are said to claim descent from
the dog. They possess five totems.
which are drawn on all their houses.
Their Villages are erected on hillocks
so as tG oe clear of the water. and the
people Of each village inhabit one large
common house. sometimes as much as
four to five hundred feet long and six.
ty to eighty feet In width. The center
Of this huge building is a kind of com.
non hall. which is used only by the
men. while. the walls of the structure
are divided into cubicles in three or
four floors. access to which is gained
by. means of ladders. The women are
not allowed to enter the building by
the same door as the men. A great
deal Of sorcery prevails in the western
division. In the wilder parts Of the
country the chief is himself a head
sorcerer. He claims to be able to sep
arate his spirit from his body and to
send it on various missions. including
that Of killing people.-Argonaut.

The River.

No n will take seriously the sug.
gestion of a correspondent of the At.
lanta Constitution that there is a
'legend" to the effect that the Savan.
nah river was so named because an
Indian chief asked somebody to "Save
Anna" his daughter. who had fallen
from a boat into the river. But the re-
currence Of the puerile joke in the

to say that the word Savannah" Is q
very old one, and philologists tracing
It to its origin 60 back to ancient
Greek through old Spanish. The Eng.
fish meaning Of the word. spelled with.
out the final "h." is a tract of level
land covered with vegetation, usually
grass or reeds. and void of trees or
with trees occurring only occasion

banks the river was named. In the
