WITH RAILWAY
OVER GRADE NOT ENDED
Commissioners and War Department
Officials Take Up Highway
Bridge Matter.

Correspondence is in progress be-
tween the District Commissioners and
the officials of the War Department in
an endeavor to bring about an adjust
ment of the controversy with the Wash
ington-Virginia Railroad Company.
with respect to changes in grade In
the roadbed of that company, involved
in the repaving Of the north and south
July last Congress appropriated $27,-
900 for repaving those approaches.
partly with asphalt and partly with
granite, and directed that the work
be done by the District Commissioners,
with their portable asphalt plant and
with granite blocks taken from Dis
trict streets for which smoother pave
ments had been authorized.
The execution of that work, it was
found by the District engineers, re-
quired that the existing grade of the
pavement be raised. The railroad COM
pany was notified of the proposed
change of grade and was asked to
change its roadbed accordingly. The
company demurred to the requirement
mainly on account of the expense, and
explained that the grade it was using
was uy Tie
of public buildings and grounds when
the road was built.
One Of Complications.
One of the complications in the case
is that although the United States en-
gineer in charge of public buildings
and grounds has jurisdiction over Po-
tomac Park and the Highway bridge
and it's approaches, the act of Con-
gress providing for repaving the ap-
proaches directed that the work be
done by the District Commissioners.
The federal and municipal officials are
working in harmony in this matter.
however, and it is probable that the
questions at issue will be referred to
the Attorney General for the institu-
tion of legal proceedings to compel the
railroad company to meet the alleged
requirements Of the situation. The re-
pair of the present dilapidated pave
ments on the bridge approaches has
been necessarily delayed because of the
refusal of the railroad company to raise
the grade Of it's tracks to conform to
the grade of the new pavement.

A retrospective glance over the summer just passed leads to the some what comforting reflection that things have developed in a very satisfactory manner for the general run of people in this district in spite of a dry and generally backward season. This ap- plies not only to the Nome section but also to the whole territory of Seward peninsula. Reports from every section indicate that the majority of the min eres have done very well and are en- tirely satisfied with the results of their labors. There have been many new developments and several new projects have been started on the way to what seems na assured success. Dredging has continued the prosper ous pace of former years and the out look in this line of mining endeavor is fully as bright as it has been at any time in the past. Three new dredges have been added to the fleet, all of
 
 ful, and the results of the seasons drilling operations discloses extended areas of dredging ground in localities hitherto unknown. Several of the fleet have failed to operate owing |, lack of available ground in the vi cnity of their present situation bu the remainder, practically without eX eeption, have all done fairly well. II the ordinary forms of mining ther has been a slight retrogressive tend eney due primarily to a lack of tn necessary water, but there has beer no indication that the future of thi branch of the mining industry is no equally as bright as at any time il the past five or six seasons. Opera uons have not been so extensive as ir former years and there has been a strong tendency toward standardization with the result that there has not been as broad a demand for labor as in previous years, but, generally consd- cred. the pay roll has been well up 10 the average and the output from this source of mining is but slightly less than formerly. Lode develop ment has received a decided impetus through the opening up of the anti

 eavy rains and the warm days, the crops have ripened well. There are but two binders in the country, R. E.

the hero of so many trips over the long 100 miles trail between the coast and interior, is coming to d close. In his place will come a more dapper and debonair individual, wearing gauntlet
 gloves and smoking cigarettes-the chauffeur Nolney Richmond, super Iintendent in Alaska for the Northern Commercial Company, announced that his company, which holds the United States winter mail contract from the coast to the interior, has decided to replace the horse stages with auto mobiles. Since 1903, when the first stake ran over the rough trails be- tween Fairbanks and Valdez, the stage drivers have been among the most picturesque figure sof Alaskan winter life. In all kinds of weather, across mountain ranges and through over flows, they have taken the mail, eX- press and passengers. Sometimes they have saved the lives of marooned mushers on the trails. MT. Richmond announced that the automobiles will come in this fall, for use during the winter. Horses will be kept near the summit in case any emergencies come up.

Officials of steamship companies op- erating to Alaska ports, and cannery- men of the north, have been protesting againt the action of the navy depart ment in dismantling the government wireless station at Unalga. About two months ago, in the middle of the can nery season, this station was aban- doned, navy department officers ex- plained that a more powerful station would be erected on St. Paul island, in Bering sea. With the closing of the Unalga station the station at Kodiak is burdened with all of the business from Seward peninsula and the Aleu- tian islands of Western Alaska. The large number of messages have caused the Kodiak station to get from three to four days behind in the handling of wireless business cauisng great in- convenience to steamship lines, with vessels plying to Nome, St. Michael, Kotzebue sound and ports in western Alaska

DONOVAN GETS FIRST
TEST As MANAGER
Smiling Leader Is Matching
Wits With Tinker Over Roger
Peckinpaugh.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-The test ot the
managerial ability of wild Bill Dono-
van has come sooner than expected.
The smiling leader Of the Yankees Is
already under fire. Out in Cleveland he
is matching his wits and other more
tangible assets. perhaps. In a duel with
Joe Tinker for the services Of Roger
Peckinpaugh, shortstop. captain and
former manager Of the Yankee nine.
Roger is alive to the fact that his
position is OF great strategic value, and
he is willing to let both men rattle
their money. Tinker was the first to
BID, but Donovan came back and raised
the manager OF the Chifeds. without
any hesitation Tinker tilted his figures
once again. Peckinpaugh stood pat.
He believes he can survive the suspense.
Il think everything will be adjusted
satisfa actorily, and that l will be with
the New York team next season." said
the shOrtstop, "but have not yet come
10 terms with the New York manage
ment, and Tinker has offered me more
than Donovan did. Donovan, I under
stand, is waiting to hear from his club
and whether l am a Yankee again next
season depends on the word he re-
ceivcs."
