GOVERNMENT MEN
 STILL MISSING

At a late hour last evening noth- ing had been heard concerning the whereabouts of H. J. Atwell and Harry J. Christopher, special agent of the general land office and gov ernment fur warden respectively, from whom no word has been receiv- ed since they started from Fair banks last Monday for the lower river. The wires were kept busy from the local headquarters of the general land office all day yester- day, but the men had not been seen by anyone along the govern ment telegraph line. Much anxiety is therefore being felt among the friends of the officials, for their safety.
 Atwell and Christopher started from Fairbanks last Monday morn ing in small boat for Iditarod intending to stop at several points along both the Yukon and Panama rivers They were expected to wire from points where they stopped and, as no word has been receiv ed from them, it is presumed that disaster has overtaken them and their frail craft.
 Ralph H. Gilliland. who is at present in charge of the local branch of the local land office, stated last evening that unless he received word today concerning the whereabouts of Atwell and Christo- pher, he will institute search for them.

He will spend the reXt several days 5n ti, Goeks in the yicin.:J uf faifbanF.. looking into the manner. in which the operators thav thrlr round.
 MT. de Marry states that tie dig sings in Siberia are much the same as those in Interior Alaska. It is about 200 feet to bedrock in most places, the ground being partly frog en from the surface down. Near bedrock the gravers are frozen as is the bedrock itself and the miners there have heretofore thawed it by using coal fires. The engineer therefore hopes to obtain a knowl edge of steam thawing while on ais trip to Interior Alaska.

PRICES
 ARE LOWERED

In tie recently arrived mail from company, the local agents for the Ford Motor company, were informed lowered the prices of their ma chimes. The reduction. however, ap- plies to all cars shipped from the Outside distributing agencies after July l, and sold to the retail buyer after August l.
 The price of the Ford touring car has therefore been reduced from $550 to $490, while the runabout will be sold for $40. The prices of all other cars made by the Ford con cern have been correspondingly low cred, These prices will make the Ford touring car cost $690 landed in Fairbanks and the runabout $640.
 The Ford people furtfer announce that, should their factory output and sales exceed 100000 cars before August l 1915. all retail buyers of new cars between August l, 1914 August 1, 1915, all retail buyers to further rebate of from $40 to s60 car. They state in their let ter to their agent here that they eX- pect to have between 12.000.000 and $1S,000000 to distribute in this manner Should such be the case, Ford touring cars landed in Fair banks, will cost the retail buyer but $63O
 There are at the present time more Ford automobiles in Fairbanks than of any two other brands, For this reason the Samson Hardware as agent for the Ford, have a large stock of repair parts on hand. This cannot be said of any other car. The Ford parts carried by the local agents are of 800 diff ferent kinds, and buyers of cars need therefore have no fear of being un- able to repair their machines in case of breakdowns.
