Other merchants of the city had the bad method of selling on credit. which involved a large out lay of money on their part and extra help to carry on the bushes. of bookkeeping concern. He at once reduced the prices on his goods to 10 per cent below that of his fellow merchants, as he could well afford to so do when he was selling for cash. He would take a spool of thread to the outskirts of the city, but would return with 1 cents for the spool of thread Peo- pie found that if they had the cash they could save money buying at this store, and when they wanted an article charged they would patro- nize the other stores This cash principle was strictly adhered to with the accompanying 10 per cent off. Each year brought new number of customers who went away to advertise his stock. Twenty years has passed. He now employs twen- ty clerks, has taken in partner to help bear the additional business, has enlarged his store 6 times and still sells for cash with ''1O per cent off" But that is not all. His store is never open on Sunday. He is the superintendent of the Pres byterian Sunday school of his town An elder in the church. He never misses the mid-week meeting.

Road Commission
 To Move Offices

Arrangements were made during the past week between Marshal Er- win and R. J. Sommers, local sup erintendent of the Alaska Road com mission, whereby the offices of the road commission, which have been in the Panama Valley railroad depot for number of years past, are to be moved to the WaShington-AlaSkd bank building. recently purchased by the government It is expected th the move will take place during the coming week, or as soon as the rooms. those formerly occupied by R. F. Roth when he was in private life are placed in readiness.
 Marshal Erwin has the right to allow the road commission to have offices in the building by virtue of the fact that he is custodian of all government buildings. He states that he is instructed to let any branch of the government service have offices in public buildings, for the reason that expense elsewhere, such as is necessary in the case of the road commission in main taining offices, all comes out of the United States treasury.

 MT. Riggs states that he expects to work for as large an appropria- ton as it is possible to get. He is anxious to secure all data possible concerning developments in the Fair banks district this winter in a min ing way, particularly in regard 10 the Tolovana. as he says that the development of that camp will be a great boost for the railroad
 All of the Outside men ci Engineering commission will probab- ly leave for the coast on Thursdays stage. Some of them are going to Seward, while others will continue their journey on to Seattle.

Wedding bells again rang out in Fairbanks last Thursday evening, when Mrs. Hattie Gertrude Ander- son became the bride of Mr. t,douard II. Stroecker. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. c. N. Creamer, at Graehl, only relatives and intimate friends being present, Rev. George C.. Bruce performed the ceremony, which took place at 9 o'clock The attendants to the couple were Miss Marion Creamer and MT. Charles Creamer, a sister and brother of the bride.
 At the conclusion of the ceremony a wedding supper was served. Those present at the supper, aside from the contracting parties, were MT. and Mrs. Creamer. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Erchinger, Misses Genevieve and Marion Creamer and Charles Cream CT. An informal reception was also held later in the evening, mum Der of the other friends of MT. and Mrs. Stroecker dropping in to pay their respects.

Canning Working
 On Dome Greek

Wm. Canning, the Dome creek min town last week as a vacation be- tween his summer and winter work reports that he and his partners took cut a fairly sized block of ground on No above creek claim on that stream this summer. The ground was nothing exceptionally rich, and the cleanups made were therefore not very large, but MT Canning and his four partners all made good wages out of the propo- sition.
 Mr Canning and Jim Matata will work on No. above second tier bench this winter, the ground being the property of the former. MT. Canning has mined for a number of years on the upper end of Dome creek, and Is therefore thoroughly familiar with the lay of the pay dirt which has not yet been taken out He therefore feels assured that he and his partner will do well during the coming winter
 One reason for his assurance that they will strike pay dirt with their shaft is the fact that when mining on the first tier bench several years ago, MT. Canning ran a tunnel into the claim on which he will operate during the coming winter, and dis covered pay dirt. It is this ground which he will attempt to take out this winter.

MCGOWAN VERY ILL.

Word of the serious illness of Thomas A. McGowan, the well known local attorney, was received here during the past week. He is now in the hospital at Dawson but expects to go Outside for treat ment before he returns to Fair banks. His ailment is not known but some idea of the seriousness o1 his illness can be gained from the fact that Mrs. McGowan, while or her way to Fairbanks, went back tc Dawson from Panama.

Alaska Exhibit
 Is Very Poor

Letters from Fairbanksans who are now on the Outside visiting the San Francisco exposition, testify to the poor display made in the Alaska portion of the exhibit. In fact, the Alaska exhibit is characterized as the poorest at the exposition by those who have seen it.
 Nearly all of the writers of the letters are in a position to know just what should have been there, and they are openly critical of those who had the management of the exhibit in charge. Practically all of the letters received here were writ ten before the last Fairbanks exhibit had rached the fair.

MANY DROWNED IS OPINION OF
 WILLIAM JAMES
RETURNED CHlSANAITE THINl[S SEVERAL HAVE DROWNED
 ON UPPER TANANA.

That several people have probably met death this fall on the upper Panama, is the opinion of William James, who, with other Chisana people, arrived in Fairbanks last week. He explains his opinion l., stating that he knows of several people who left the Chisana before he and his party, who intended to come to Fairbanks, and who never reached here. as far as he is able to learn. The finding of at lea st four wrecked boats which he was unable to identify, however. further confirms his fears
 Among those who left the Chi sana country at the same time as Mir, James were Charles Johnson and Isaac Mitchell, William Zach ariaS and wife, formerly Of Chena Dinny kelleher, Bob Agnew and Wal ter Wright. These people, Mir James says, should all have arri,ef in Fairbanks before this time as they left the Chisana country at approXimtely the same time as him self. He has seen none of them but Johnson and Mitchell whom he passed about the mouth of the Rob inson river. It is therefore believed that they have either drowned or have met with an accident of some kind which deprived them of their boat
 MT. James states that none but experienced boatmen are able to keep a boat afioat in the upper va ters of the Panama. or from the Chisana down to the mouth of the Nabesna. distance of approximate ly l50 miles From there on down to the mouths of the Robinson and Johnson rivers the water is com paratively calm, but In those places other rapids, places where it would be more than easy to swamp a boat, are encountered.
 Reports reached Fairbanks at sev- eral times during the summer of people having their boats wrecked on the upper Panama. It is some such accident that Mr James fears has befallen the people who started down the river approximately at the time that he left the Chisana, and he is of the opinion that there were many more such accidents not re ported, for the reason that the navi- gators of the boats found watery grave.

FAIR SUCCESSFUL.

The annual fair of the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian church was held last Friday in one of the empty rooms of the Red Cross building. It was successful from a financial point of view, the gross receipts being in the neigh
 borhood of $275. The expense o1 holding the fair was small and it is therefore probable that the net re
 ceipts will represent considerable sum. All of the wares prepared fol sale by the ladies were disposed of

DANCER OF PLEA FOR LARGE SUM
 ID BE AVOIDED
SECRETARY LANE PLANS TO GET THE MONEY FOR
 RAILROAD QUICKLY.

An article clipped from the Sew ard Post of September 16. throws new light or the matter of aprop- riations for the Alaska government railroad. It is herewith quoted
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16.- Efforts will be made by the depart ment of the interior at the coming session of congress to secure the immediate passage of law author izing the sale of bonds up to s32 .00O.- 900 for the completion of the gov ernment railroad in Alaska. This, with the s3,O0O000 already appropri- ated, will cover the amount voted to cover the cost of construction in the original bill passed by congress. Secretary Lane contends that such bond issue will be popular among American financiers and will be taken up at par or possibly little above par as soon as offered. This plan of procedure would enable the engineering commission to proceed to complete the road in the quick est possible time without the possi- bility of delay which always exists where projects are dependent upon congress for additional appropria tions from year to year.
 The plan to ask for straight appropriation of from eight to ten million dollars, which is considered necessary for the work projected for 1916. is not favored by the secre- tary. Friends of the project de clare that the present condition of international affairs is such that request for such an appropriation might be seriously opposed by those favoring the expenditure of every available dollar in the national trea- sury for the strengthening of the national defenses. Should bill calling for an additional appropria- tion be defeated it would tie up the government railroad for at least another year.
 Tt is to avoid any such clash that the plan to provide a bond issue has been perfected.
 The Alaskan Engineering con- mission has not been informed re- garding the proposed plan for if nancing the next years work The entire proposition of finance lies with the department of the interior while the commission has in hand the construction work and disburse- ment of funds only"
 Interviewed concerning the above article, Commissioner Thomas Riggs, Jr, stated that he had not been in formed that such a movement was on foot. He made no comment on the article other than to state that even if bonds were issued, the op propriation would still have to be made by congress, although the sale of bonds would in measure obvi- ate a delay in the appropriation. for the reason that the money would be on hand for the sole purpose of continuing the work on the railroad. Anyone, congressman or senator, who objects to the approprating of money for the railroad, would there fore have no chance to say that the fupd for fife construction was not available.
