TRAIL WORK THAT IS NEEDED.

Col w. P Richardson and the other members Alaska Road Commission being severely criticised by the miners and prospector of the interior country for being scmnated against in the matter of road work The trail over Sour Dough H which is largely travelled is in deporabe condition and this fact well known to the officials authority but still nothing being done to improve it. Petitions and protests have been filed by those who compelled to mush pack this almost impassabie roadway but avail The Cordova Chamber of Commerce appealed and took the matter with Col Richardson and tentative prome of lief made, after the appropriation available July but thus far nothing has been done and the the wane.
 At no time has the Copper River valley been given the sderaton by the Commission that it entitled to, notwit standing great need This country has been retarded development by not having necessary trails and if the camps where mining being carried extensively accessible there would naturally be work done and the output country increased But then little matter of this may not have any bearing with those who expendng only the governments money but also that derived people of the territory.
 Only few years ago Cordova contributed $6 900 in cash to assist the Commission building the government trail from Willow Creek to Chna order that connection could be made with the railroad by those desiring the shortest and best route from Fairbanks Cordova This
 work wholly in the line of duty which should have willingly been performed by the Commission When the stampede was to Shushanna Codova the front and expended thousands of dollars trails to the placer camp and if this town is expected do all the building the soon know 1t the better.
 In the meantime the Alaska Road Commission has duty to perform and its about time busy by endeavorng ascertain with degree of accuracy where and how and what proportion the money its disposal should be expended Aaskan are patient people, but at times they become restless

Educational Films Shown at
New Jersey School
GIVEN WEEKLY LECTURES
Innovation Under Direction of William
G. Newcomb-D. G. M. C. Traction
in Tax Trap-Hammond to
Test Court Decision.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-The pupils of the New
Jersey School for the Deaf are given
weekly lectures by mean of motion
picture films and great care is taken
in the selection of subjects so that
all Objectionable features are elimi-
mated. The idea being to stimulate
the pupils desire for further knoWl-
edge and help them to cover a wider
rAuge of education thar could be OBJ
tanned from the text book. William G..
Newcomb, who gives the pupils in
struction by e of the motion pic
lures, is the New Jersey representa-
ave of the Bureau of Commercial
Economics, associated with the De
partment of Public Instruction at
Washington, d. G. AS representative
of the Bureau Mr.. Newcomb has
charge of a large number of educa-
pupils of the school first, then circu-
lates among the various educational
institutions of New Jersey.
In an interview Mr.. Newcomb said:
"It is my belief that the pupils edu-
cation should include some conception
of the worlds wonderful scenery in
his store of information, thus fur
nishing him many inspirations that
may materially enrich his after life.
"By means of travelogues, our
pupils are taken across enchanting
plains, green as the richest moss, over
placid lakes skirted by precipitous
heights, through transverse valleys
and narrow gorges, over picturesque
natural bridges, from which may be
viewed rugged mountain peaks of
wondrous beauty, down to the coast
and the proximity of the sea with
its striking grandeur. Nature studies
showing wild animals in their hiding
places, their nests, their foraging for
food, their intelligence and graceful
movements and their subtlety in
avoiding and misleading their com
mon enemy, man.

icule in the water pursuing its strug-
gle for existence awakens a new in
terest and an uplifting desire for ma
lure studies. Pictures of industrial
activities showing modern appliances,
which we use so constantly and to so
great an advantage, adequate ideas
of manufacturing operations in the
production of articles in everyday
use, vivid po%rtrayals of the revolu-
ton brought about by the application
of electricity and pictures which
take us Back to the Farm are shown.
81 find that last, but no means
least, humor has proven to be as
necessary in the successful education
of our pupils as it is in the lives Of
successful men, and comic pictures
that will not impart my harmful sug-
gestions are regularly included in
our program"

British forces in France and Flanders,
has been succeeded by General Sir
Douglas Haig.
Since the landing of the expedition
airy force, Sir Douglas Haig has COM
manded the First army and has been
repeatedly mentioned in dispatches by
his chief, whose place he now takes.
Sir John French becomes COM
mander-in-chief of the armies in the

months service at the front has been
created Viscount of the United King

Rumor has it that General Joffre
forced the British action.
The British War Office gave out
this statement:
General Sir Douglas Haig has
been appointed to succeed Field
Marshal Sir John French in COM
mand of the armies in France and
Flanders.
Since the commencement of the
war, during over sixteen months
of severe and incessant strain,
Field Marshal French has most
ably commanded our armies in
France and Flanders, and he has
now, az his wi instance, relin-
pushed that command.

Traction Co. Caught in Trap.

tFaCIIOn GOs OduOnL III Trap
The Trenton G Mercer County Trac-
ton Company has been caught in the
same trap that the West Jersey C
Seashore Railroad found itself in
when the State Board of Taxation and
Assessment jumped the valuation of
it's property for taxing purposes Is
the result of the evidence submitted
by the railroad to the Utility Commits
sioners for rate-making purposes. The
Trenton City Commission started the
machinery to raise the valuation of
the trolley property $4,000 to at
least $4,000, 900.
The utility board, IN the rate case
fixed the valuation of the company's
property at 1922, 900, although the
company produced witnesses who tes-
titled that the road was worth near
4 1000, 900.
If the Mercer County Tax Board
complies with the request of the city
it will mean an additional revenue Of
about $4,000 a year from the trolley
company.
The Public Utility Commission re-
fused the request Of the New Jersey
& Pennsylvania Traction Company to
increase it's passenger rate between
Trenton and Princeton from Is to 20
cents.
