"Tanana, Alaska,

May 26, 1914.
Honorable Franklin X. Lane, Sec
retary Of the Interior, Washington,
D. c.
Dear Sir
"The probable location of the
terminus of the proposed railroad in
to the Interior of Alaska, judging
from the information at hand, seems
to be on the Tanana river. If such
intention is put into effect, a very
small portion of Interior Alaska will
be materially benefited. The ter
minus should by all means be on the
main stream of the Territory, that
is, on the Yukon river and not on a
tributary of this waterway.
"All of the tributaries are diff
cult to navigate. This is especially
true after the first of July, when
only the hghtest draft boats are able
to ply their waters. To the Tanana
river. this is especially applicable,
for at any and all seasons. only light
draft steamers are able to navigate
this tributary. Further. 1t is never
navigable for the large Yukon steam
ers, and boats of moderately light
draft. always have great difficulty
The river packets Susia, Sarah. Han.
nah and Louise never attempt the
Tanana.
After the time referred to in the
preceding paragraphs, boats drawing
two feet often spend several days
trying to get into the mouth of the
river. This condition is due to the
large bars which form every year

and inaccessible points on the Tan
ana and other rivers and it is from
their observation that the opinion
of the great Outside on Alaska is
formed.
In the days before the divisional
headquarters of the district court
were established at Fairbanks, court
sessions were held at such relatively
unimportant points as Rampant and
Eagle Every argument which was
held to be in favor Of those places,
is, therefore. reinforced an hundred
fold as regards Tanana. OF all
places and from every point Of the
compass, Tanana is the easiest of
access during both summer and
winter.
An argument in favor of Tanana,
which in itself should be suf-
ficient. is the fact that, in the
past a number Of serious miscarriages
OF justice. which would scarcely
have resulted had the machinery Of
the court been located, and the
cases tried here. 1t can, therefore,
be readily seen that. had there been
"a representative of the district at
torney's office on the scene to probe
the cases. such miscarriages would
never have occurred, a number Of
the most serious cases in Alaska
having been sent from Tanana to
the grand jury at Fairbanks.
Tanana has never heretofore asked
that any change in the administra-
tion of justice be made, but she has
now arrived at that maturity when
her call is for the bare recognition
of that justice itself. Her citizens.
and the people of the surrounding
country, need the announcement
and the stimulus Of recognition as
they feel that the time has now
arrived when they can no longer
with profit to the government and
to themselves. be served by a ju-
dietary situated in SO distant and
inaccessible point as Fairbanks.

The garden was fairly well filled at 10
o'clock and was getting fuller when this
report Of the affair began TO make with
the press.
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle did a few dances
on the exhibition platform early In the
proceedings and then gave way to three
couples to show how the tango, maxixe
and one-step should be done and then
how they should not be done but are done
by all too many devotees of the BRAIN
developing art.
OF all the dances the polka. as il was
given by Miss Taylor and Mr.. Pyle, won
the most applause.
Following the exhibition by the three
men and the three young women, the
first of three dancing contests was put
on. this on the main floor. About twenty
seven couples participated for a hand

were the judges. The dances were the

CHARGES $1,000, 900 FRAUD
Commission Denounces Patrick
Calhoun's Methods.

San Francisco, May 23.--In granting an
application of the United Railroads Com
pany of San Francisco for permission to
borrow money to purchase rolling stock
the California Railroad Commission issued
a statement to-day denouncing the finan-
cial methods of Patrick Calhoun. former
president Of the company.
The commission asserts that Calhoun,
just before his retirement, took from the
funds of this public utility corporation
more than 100000 when every available
dollar was sorely needed TO increase it's
facilities" and that he gave his successor.
Jesse L.ilienthal, promissory note for
81 ,G96, 600. payable one day after date,
which Lilienthal wrote down in the books
of the company "as Of the value of one
dollar"
The money was used, the commission
asserts, in promoting the Solano Irrigated
Farms, an immense subdivision project
which collapsed some months ago.
"I'he whole transaction Is a fraud" de-
clares the commission, mot only upon
the public, which is dependent on this
utility for it's street car service, but also
on the bond and note holders of this
utility"

after being inoculated with typhoio

tho Department of Health in a state
ment issued last night, that they are
now suffering from typhoid fever con-
tracted prior to the time they were
inoculated. Their father died recently
with the disease. and it was at his re-
nuest that the vaccine was injected
into his three children, his wife ana
sister.
Roth adults and one of the children,
RAYMOND. six and half years old, are
now out of danger. The department
statement says of the others, Herbert,
eight, and Ruth, five, that they are
making slow but perceptible progress
toward recovery. The statement en-
uhasizes the departments belief that
typhoid vaccinations are both harm
less and efiicacious.
According 10 lnc uepdi tAioi' ~
ords." the statement runs, most OF the
secondary or direct contact cases be-
come infected while the physician is
waiting for more definite symptoms in
the original case. In the presence OF
any illness, even remotely suspected OF
being typhoid fever, prompt immunlza-
ton of every member Of the family is
of great advantage. Those who de-
velop the disease after immunization
invariably show evidence Of having

HONEST NINE YEARS,
RETURNS TO CRIME
Embedding Bookkeeper, Con-
yicted Once, Confesses Guilt
Second Time.

Tho story OF an unsuccessful attempt
to live straight after serving term In
prison nine years ago was revealed yes

obtained from John Hayden. former con-

Inc, II Broadway, who was arrested
few days ago charged with embezzling
81, 900 during the last four years.
According to an assistant Of Mr.. Whit

guilt and also told how he was sentenced
to Sing Sing for similar offence back
In 1901.
He was working for Swift Co. at
that time, he said, when 1t was discoy-

A mania to get something for nothing by
picking winners at the racetracks caused
his trouble, and during his year upriver
he determined II any one would give him
a chance when he got out he would i've
down his criminal career and keep within
the law.
Released as early as his good behavior
would permit, under sentence OF from
one to three years, Hayden came back
10 New York and after time went with
the Rabbit concern. His work was so
well liked that he gradually worked UP
TO be confidential bookkeeper, place OF
considerable Importance In the business.
For nine years he kept to his Sing Sing
resolution, and then, for some reason
which he cannot himself explain the
impulse to take that which was not his
