LOOKING OVER
HAPPY ROUTE
TO TOL0YANA
ZUG AND DATE GET AWAY ON
INSPECTION TRIP OVER
HAPPY TRAIL.

To inspect the Happy route for
the proposed trail to the Tolovana
country John Zug, assistant engin-
eer of the Alaska Road commission.
and Fred Date left Fairbanks yes
terday morning, From Happy sta
ton they will be accompanied by
Ed Quinn, who will go along in the
capacity Of packer, as it is necessary
that the men carry an entire outfit
OF supplies with them, for the rea-
son that they expect to be out sew
eral days before they eventually
reach the Tolovana.
1t is probable that the party will
return to Fairbanks by one Of the
other routes which have already
been travelled by Mr. Tug, and on
which he has already obtained the
data necessary for the Road COM
mission. Data on the Happy creek
route will be collected on the pres
ent trip and the whole will be
presented 10 CoI. w. 4 hlCHdI u
son when he arrives here some time
this month. 1t is probable that the
most feasible route for the construc-
ton of trail TO the new diggings
will then be decided upon, in the
event that the government decides
10 do anything at all toward the
construction of a trail.
Before leaving on his trip. Mr..
Zug reiterated his statement that
he is unprepared to say at this time
just what the Road commission will
do toward trail. He further
stated however, that he is in
clined to think that Col Richard
son will accept the proposition Of
the Commercial club TO share the
expense of constructing a trail over
the Happy creek route

Following the receipt Of a telegram
early in the week from G. Ellis
Gardner, assistant district attorney
who was at Ruby, stating that his
daughter, Miss Matte Gardner, would
not be able to accept the position
of teacher of the Garden Island
school, the school board there elected
Miss Jennie Richardson, of Portland
Oregon.
Miss Richardson came from Portland
last year. in August, with Mrs A,
Halset and she was SO pleased with
the country that she concluded she
wanted to stay. She applied at
that time for the Garden Island
school, but teacher had already
been selected This year, some Of
the members of the board wanted
Miss Richardson, while others
wanted Miss Gardner. AT last Miss
Gardner was chosen. After it was
found that Miss Gardner could not
come. the members of the Garden
Island school board voted unani-
mously for Miss Richardson.
A telegram was sent Immediately
asking Miss Richardson if she would
come, and last night reply was
received accepting the position.

! Plans for organizing a parent
teacher association. like those in
most OF the schools outside, were
discussed informally by about le
parents gathered Saturday night a,
the home of Andrew Anderson II
was decided to call meeting OF
all parents Of the city and Garden
! purpose of taking the initial steps
in the organization Of such an as
! ISOLATION.
| Mr.. Anderson explained at the in
formal meeting Saturday night that
| in talking with a large number of
parents. he had discovered senti
ment favorable to organizing par
entteacher association, and he and
those with whom he had talked were
of the opinion that if such an as
ISOLATION had been in existence in
the past. the annual misunderstand-
ings between the school board and
the public would not have occurred
In the discussion that followed
it was suggested that an association
be formed as soon as possible, that
it should consist only Of parents who
have children attending either the
town schools or the Garden Island
school, and that in forming the as
ISOLATION every effort be made to
discourage any discussion Of past
with a view of meeting future re
luirements only.
Mrs. W. H. Woodbridge was asked
to serve as chairman for the meet
ing, but it was agreed that as there
were so few present no steps should
be taken then in the way Of form
ing the association, further than to
call general meeting of the par
ents of the city and Garden Island
for Wednesday night, beginning at
80 o'clock
Professor Karrer, principal of the
Fairbanks school. was there by in
vitation, though he arrived late, ow-
ing to a delay occasioned by small
fire at the school house. He was
asked to express his views in re-
! gard to the association, and he said
that he felt that there was need of
the parents and teachers coming into
closer relationship and working in
| cooperation for the improvement of
the schools Various other persons
present voiced the same sentiment
and all agreed that an association
should be formed.

Fox Pups Being
Raised By Cal

Out at the ranch of the Alaska
there is circumstance which defies
all of the laws of nature in the mat
ter Of the commingling Of wild and
domestic animals, in fact that a cat
is nursing and raising family
of fox puppies. One of the pups
died since it was given to the cat,
but it was the weakling of the
bunch and it is understood that the
remaining four OF the litter are do
ing nicely.
Not long ago young fox gave
birth to the litter. She did not seem
to be able to care for them, and
as it is well known fact that
foxes kill their young if they are
in danger, the caretaker Of the
ranch was afraid that the young
mother would do away with the
pups.
At abou, the same time the foxes
were born the family tabby also
gave birth to litter of kittens.
The caretaker of the ranch thereupon
decided that as he didn't want the
cats around anyhow. he would try
an experiment, so he substituted
the young foxes for the kittens.
The experiment was successful be-
yond all expectations as the cat is
now mothering the young foxes as
though they were her own.

LOWER END Of
CRIPPLE CREEK
ALOIS SAGAN USES DRILL TO
LOCATE CONTINUATION
OF PAYSTREAk.

Satisfied that the new pay found
on the Midway ASSOCIATION claim
on Cripple creek few days ago
is from a paystreak which will even
tually be found to be continuous.
Alois Sagan, the well known Ester
creek mining man, is now doing
considerable prospecting on the
lower end of that stream. He is
using a drill in the prosecution of
the work and expects to put a line
Of drill holes several hundred feet
apart, across the entire valley.
1t is understood that Mr. Sagan
and number of other Ester men
are interested in the project. They
have staked all of the ground at
the mouth of Cripple and on the
left limit benches on the lower end
of the creek and feel confident
that if the pay located on the Mid
way is continuous, they will be
able to strike it. A report received
in town last night was to the eff
feet that another crowd Of Ester
creek men have staked all of the
ground on the ridge on the right
hand side of the trail, going from
Ester Siding to Ester City. as
result Of the prospecting being done
by the Sagan party.
1t is also understood that several
leases have been taken on ground
above the Midway by miners who
hope to find a continuation Of the
pay.
Heretofore all of the pay found
on Cripple creek has been high up
on the left limit benches. The
prospectors have been hindered by
water to a great extent there. as
we'll as on the creek claims.
The information received in town
last night was to the effect that the
Sagan drill encountered water in
the first hole, and therefore did not
put it to bedrock.

g DAN" RETURNS
FROM TRIP TO
THE T0LOVANA
LITTLE GASOLINE BOAT HAD
UNEVENTFUL TRIP TO
THE LOG JAM.

Yes, We got there but we had
remark made by Isidore Stein last
night when asked concerning the
trip of the little gasoline boat
Dan to the log jam on the Tolo-
vana river The boat arrived in
port last evening and will be dis
patched to the Tolovana on an
other trip within the next few days.
The trip of the Dan as reported
by Stein, was uneventful The boat
succeeded in landing her freight at
the jam without any more trouble
than could ordinarily be expected.
Her greatest trouble was in round
ing the sharp bends in the Tolovana
river. The snags and drift in the
river had to be cleared away in
great many places before the boat
could pass.
DOMAIN THERE FIRST.
Although the flat bottomed gaso-
line boat DOMAIN left Fairbanks two
days later than the Dan, she ar
rived at the log jam first. She was
able to navigate the river with
greater ease than the Dan because
she is shorter and had no trouble
getting around the bends. And
then the crew of the Dan had the
river cleared for her to within 25
miles of the log jam, where the lat
ter craft was passed
When last Stein saw the DOMAIN.
she was hoisted out on the land
high and dry and her crew was
preparing to haul her over to the
lake. There she was to be floated
again and would again be portrayed
across to the last stretch of water
She will be used in transporting
freight from the log jam to Fork
City, or as far up the Tolovana as
she can go. several loads of freight
being already there for her Included
in the freight which the DOMAIN will
take to the new diggings is the
Fisher sawmill
MOODY HAS HARD LUCK.
The little steamboat fitted out by
]. E. Moody for taking sawmill
to the Toloyana was the first boat
to leave Fairbanks with freight, but
that she had hard luck ia evident
as she was passed by the Dan at
Nenana on the down trip. She was
not sighted on the return trip. The
Elmer g.. with Paul Ringseth's
freight aboard, was met on the Tolo-
vana river and was getting along
nicely
LIKE CHlLCOOT.
The return boatmen report that
construction work on the tramway
which was started for the purpose
of transporting freight around the
log jam. has stopped for the reason
that the men who intended to oper-
ate it have not the necessary sup
plies for its completion. AS a con-
sequence. a number of men are
working at the log jam packing
freight across the portage on their
backs at three-fourths of cent a
pound. Among the men doing such
work are Jack Hubbard. Bud Nc
