HAYNES RAILROAD FORFEiTS
 RIGHT OF WAY.

The local land office has received notice of the forfeiture of the right of way applied for by the Alaska Mid land Railroad company, running from Haines to the boundary line. The company forfeited it's rights for fail ing to file the required maps of the definite location of the road within the time required by law.
 John Rosene of Seattle, was the promoter and head of the Alaska Midland Railroad. which was pro posed to run from Haines up the valley of the Chilkat and through the Porcupine country, crossing the headwaters of the White river and down the Panama to Fairbanks.
 The road was first promoted short ly after the Fairbanks strike and q great deal of surveying along the route has been done. The road ran part of the way through Canada, and was said to have the best route and easiest grade from the coast to the Interior-Juneau Dispatch.

Fairbanks Friend
 Back Home Again

Thomas Riggs, Jr returned on the Sheldon auto Monday from a trip to the coast, where he had gone to consult with the other members of the Alaskan Engineering commission working on the coast end of the road.
 He reports everything working very satisfactorily, and has nothing but good cheer for the people of the Interior upon his return.
 MT Riggs is in high hopes that the active work of construction will begin from Fairbanks next summer, and has made all his plans to that end.
 It is MT. Riggs ambition to get the road work started from here as soon as possible in order to be able % ship coal into this market to offset the present high cost of fuel. lie says that when the road is built to the Nenana coal fields it will be possible to land coal in the Falr- banks market at a cost not to eX- ceed $5 ton.
 Mr. Riggs is positive in his state ment that Fairbanks will be the Interior terminus of the road when completed.

Council Passes
 Two Ordinances

At the council meeting last Mon. day evening, nothing much took place, with the exception of the final passage of a couple of ordinances, the passage of the monthly bills and the reports of the several com mittees.
 One proposed ordinance dealing with the maintenance of fox farms, pig pens and dog kennels within the city limits was enacted into law
 The other ordinance dealt with the itinerant merchant nuisance, and was finally passed by imposing a license fee of $100 for the first month $50 for the second month and $25 for each succeeding month, and that when a license is applied for the applicant is required to state for what period it is desired
 There was some discussion over the payment of the salary of the city attorney MT Tom Marquan holds that lucrative position, but while he is busy mining in the Tolovana country he had prevailed upon Attorney L. K. Pratt to repre- sent him and protect the city's in terests. MT. Pratt was called to Ruby to attend to court matters and during his absence there were two meetings of the council at which the city attorney was not repre- sented Some of the members were opposed to paying for something they did not get, but Attorney Pratt pre- vailed upon them to lay the matter over until MT Marquam's return.
 There is an inclination on the part of the city dads to cut the salary of the city attorney in two in the middle, and this may be done in the near future.

The O'Connors were keeping the piano which belonged to Mrs. Harry Phillips while she was out of the city, and the instrument was also burned
 The fire Is supposed to have originated in the roof around the pipe leading from the kitchen stove, The roof of the building was made of sod originally and had been GOV cred over with iron later For two or three days previous to the fire Mrs. O'Connor had detected the odor of something burning, but could not locate where it came from.
 On the evening in question the fire in the stove was quite low when they left the home, but the same odor could be detected.
 Upon investigation after the de struction, Chief Buckley expressed it as his opinion that the moss around the pipe had been burning for several days and only broke out at that time.
 MT. O'Connor was not in the city

Mrs. C. E. Bunnell
 Joins Her Husband

Mrs C. E. Bunnell and daughter Jean arrived OH the Delta Wednes- day, having joined her husband at Ruby before his departure for Fair banks.
 Mrs. Bunnell has come to this city to make her home during the tenure of the judges office at least, and will add a great deal to Fair banks society, as she is an exceed ingly bright and charming woman.
 When Judge Bunnell received his appointment as judge of the Fourth division, Mrs. Bunnell went to the Outside on a visit until such time as she could join her husband.
 The Bunnells have not yet chosen the site of their future habitation in Fairbanks.

Insane Abuses
 Bob Up Again

Conditions at Morningside sanl- tarium are being aired again, and Al. Maxey, who was sent to that in stitution from this city in 1915, IS in the center of the spotlight. In a letter written to Governor Strong by w. D. Hale, of San Francisco, 1t would appear that he had paid visit to MT MaXey and found his room in a filthy condition.
 The letter of the governor to the members of the legislature calling their attention to the conditions eX- isting at Morningside appears in the session laws which have just arrived in the city, but there is nothing to note that that body took official cognizance of the complaint.

ROAD OFFICIAL PAYS VISIT ID
 ID INTERIOR
FIRST TRIP TO COUNTRY SlZ- ING UP CONDITIONS OF
 ROADS AND TRAILS.

Lieutenant Joseph Mehaffey, the officer who is to take the place of Capt. Edgerton as engineer of the Alaska Road commission, together with Capt A. R. Ehrenbeck, of the same commission, arrived in town Tuesday, coming over the trail on the government truck. The latter officer will proceed on to Nome to investigate conditions in Nome har- Dor, while MT Mehaffey will remain here until the return of MT. Som mers, after which he will return over the same route he came.
 It is the intention of Lieut. Mehaf- fey to look over as many trails as possible while in the Interior, in order to thoroughly familiarize him self with his duties before assum- ing control of the office, which will be upon his return.
 MT. Mehaffey reports seeing the Valdez trail at it's worst on this trip, and realizes just what is nee essary to make a passable road out of it. He says there would be no difficulty in the matter if the com mission had the money at their dis posal to do the necessary work.
 Since arriving in this city MT. Me haffey has received the following telegram from Col Richardson:
 Valdez, Aug. 24, 1915. Lieutenant Mehaffey, Fairbanks.
 "I understand the road has been badly cut up in places in the vicini- ty of Fairbanks by the use of heavy trucks. Our policy in the past has been not to interfere with any kind of traffic over the roads. It may be necessary for protection of work and benefit of general travel to es, tablish some regulations as to use of heavy trucks when roads are not in condition or when new work is in progress. Please advise and make public this telegram as a caution against reckless traffic over the road under conditions which are de. structive of the road itself.
 "RICHARDSON' MT Mehaffey thinks there will be no necessity for making any regula tions provided automobile owners use due diligence.
 In regard to the Toloyana trail Lieutenant Mehaffey says that the commission will build a road that will not have a greater grade than ten per cent He is quoted in the Times as saying that through the efforts of one man in Fairbanks the impression has been spread throughout the whole territory that the road is one continual uphill pull with a grade of 14.S per cent, when, as matter of fact, the report made to the commission by R. A. Jackson shows that only Z5O feet or the whole trail has a grade as great as that, and that the commission has decided to grade that place so it will not be more than 10 per cent" He has not been over the Olnes trip before he leaves.

PREPARING FOR COPPER SHIP
 MENTS FROM YUkON

w. D. Greenough, general manager of the Pueblo copper properties at Whitehorse, says:
 'I am delighted with the Klon- dike camp, and have found the placer fields and the mining operations here far more extensive than l thought I would The dredges here certainly are marvels, and am pleased to see that the Klondike continues to make a good showing for the territory and all the north land.
 "The Whitehorse district is not inactive. The Crater and Anaconda properties are shipping. and we ex- pect to have the Pueblo ready to ship next year on a large scale. The Crater and the Anaconda are con trolled by Ed Dixon, Bob Lowe, J. P. Whitney and George Armstrong.
 When the Pueblo was shut down the mine was flooded. It will re- quire good while to get the pumps started, and to remove the water. We hope to get the pumps started early this winter, and to have water out after pumping four months. When we were working before we shipped

SULZER LAYS A BET ON ALASKA
 COPPER.

SEATTLE, July 29.-Another big copper mine, producing 100 tons a day, has been added to Alaska S long list of copper-producing mines, according to William Sulzer, former governor of New York who return ed yesterday from Ketchikan, after spending a month with his brother, Charles A. SClzer, in arranging de- tails for reopening the mine. He was registered at the Rainier-Grand yesterday and left for San Francis co this morning.
 "The mine is largely owned by the Sulzer family,' said MT. Sulzer yes terday "It is located about forty miles from Ketchikan. Everything isgoing good there now. We sent our first shipment of copper to Tacoma last week, and expect from now on to ship about once in two weeks. Forty men are working there now and more will be put on later. "
 The Sulzer mine was closed down last September when the price of copper dropped to ' cents a pound. At the present price it can be mined at an average profit of about $2O ton. In the past the Sulzer prop, erty has produced copper to the value of $1,25O,OOO, and has turned back to Seattle about $632.000 for supplies and equipment.

are young, they don't take all of a wifes time ty any means. In hundred ways we've taken woman's job away from her. She used to have to weave her cloth, make her bread her soap and pre- serves. but now it's cheaper to buy these things. even if she has a real house to work in and not a flat
 Shes got far more idle time now than man. That's why l want to see her get busy with the vote. It } much more her job to look after school laws, pure food laws, clean streets, pure water and playgrounds than il is a mans.
 And they can tell all they please about the ballot hurting women, but I'd rather see my wife cleaning out saloons than to have her hanging around tango joints and moving pie tuIt Slio"S' ldOiiSi ii''' ' i'i Y to get protection for working women and children than have her drinking high balls in cafes like l have seen so many women doing.
 We lived in Kansas, where women voted. and we live now in California, where women vote. And whenever hear a New Yorker talking about how the vote ruins homes, l always feel like calling him a liar and a fool
 I got a letter from the equal sui frage people some time ago, asking if wouldn't make some speeches for them in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. They vote on the question this fall in those four states.
 Lord knows I wish l could speak. But speech-making is harder for me than writing I showed at Ham merstein's when I got back from Havana. and l don't suppose I'll ever be as sick again. I couldn't get my upper lip loose from my teeth.
 But told them the truth I just said that l thanked them for their kind reception, but that when it came to making a speech, l wasn't there
 That's what I wrote to the equal suffrage ladies. And I also told them hoped they would win. And if they do, you're going to see things happen.
 When l was in New York I used to see little kids arrested for playing in the streets. And yet the street was the only place they had to play And I saw whole families. men. women, children and even little babies, living eating and sleep ing in one room in some of those tenements.
 When women vote they don't stand for child labor and jail for kids. They go through a town just like a good woman goes through a house with a broom, and when she gets through everything is nicer and cleaner. l suppose lot of men will vote against equal suffrage because they don't want to be called sissy" suppose that fear has made more drunkards and more blackguards than any other one thing,
 If boy doesn't want to drink, his smart aleck friends call him a sissy" So in order to keep from being a sissy he has got to hang around saloons, burn off the lining of his stomach and become a bum
 If a boy doesn't swear or run around with the gang, he's sissy" He isn't regular fellow unless he spits out cuss words and insults every girl who doesn't happen to have a man with her.
 Heaven knows I want a boy to be strong and manly. I'd like every kid in the United States to learn boxing, and I wouldn't mind how much they fought if they did it
