BARGE WASHINGTON
 SEEN 0FF ST.EL|As
Lumber was Water-Logged and Yes. gel Wallowing in Trough of Sea
 But Believed be Saved.

Warnings has veen sent the cap tains of steamers operating on the Southwestern runs that the wreck of the barge Washington which was abandoned off Hinchinbrook on Oct. 10 is still af1oat and menace to navi- gation as she is nearly submerged.
 The barge was in tow of the tug Pioneer when she was abandoned in a storm and carried more than one million feet of lumber from the Port Blakeley mills, near Seattle, for the Copper River & Northwestern rail- road.
 The barge was sighted last week, three miles north of Cape St. Elias wi.n her deck load still intact. The Washington had lost her rudder and being water-logged had sunk fourteen feet in the water but 1t is believed that her cargo can be saved if an ef- fort is made when the wind is in the right direction.
 Advices from Katalla state that a tremendous gale has been blowing since the Washington was sighted, and it is feared that she may have been carried out to sea to become a menace to shipping.

CITY OF PUEBLA
 PASSES SOUTHWARD.

The City of Puebla passed south ward early Sunday morning, having been delayed for a considerable time discharging cargo at Anchorage. The steamer took a number of passengers from Valdez for the states, among whom were: Col w. P. Richardson T. o. Bell, Geo. R. Goshaw, Mrs. D. Brooks, S. A. Pepper, and Clara La Mar. The steamer, it was announced by the officers, expected to remain in Cordova for some time loading copper ore which has been piled up in the warehouses and cars there awaiting shipment to the Tacoma. .smelter.
 The City of Puebla Is under char ter to the Alaska Steamship company for the trip and Capt. Cam, in com mand, does not expect that she will make another trip to southwestern Alaska ports as the Alaska Steam ship company has purchased the big liner Kansas City for the run.

TRUSTEE NAMED FUR LUMBER C0.
Portage Bay Sawmill Has Closed Op- erations Owing to Disappear
 ance of One of Owners.

H. E. Ellis, as trustee for the Tal- kitna Lumber Co.,, operating on Port age Bay, has taken charge of the property of that concern and will re- tain same in his possession until such time as the company is in possession to resume active operations. The trustee holds a mortgage on all the property of the company, which said mortgage was recorded this morning, and all the creditors have agreed to accept a considerable payment on all the claims and to wait complete set clement at a future date.
 MT. John Enlund, who is the ac- tive representative of the Talkitna Lumber Company. expects to return in the early spring and take full charge of the business of that con- cern and there is every likelihood that the concern will do large busi- ness as they have an excellent plant in good condition with splendid mill site and large quantities of excellent timber all around them. The present difficulties of the concern are entirely due to the disappearance of Mir. Johnson who was to have forwarded the necessary funds to meet the pay roll and other obligations, but who, since putting in his appearance at the Arofic C1uh at Caatf1o ahOut six weeks ago, has never been heard from although strenuous efforts have been made to locate him by interest ed parties.
 Mr. and Mrs. Al Hunt are now on the property and will remain in charge for the Trustees until the af- fairs of the company are finally set tied.

GOOD
ROADS
IMPROVE ROADS BY DRAINAGE
Orc Of the Most Impo rtant Matters TO
&c Considered in Construction
Of Public Highways.
ny u. T. GATES, InInols.I

CBy T.. L. GATES, Ininols.)
When II comes TO building roads
here are a good many problems to
solve and not easy ones at that. Rid
ing along in an auto IT is easy enough
20 say when you strike a smooth
t.ctch, this is fine" and turn on a
ale mere gas, but when you hit
nudhole and ruts you may get your
foot on the wrong pedal and the road
commission catches II.
It takes labor, time, good material
and money to have good roads. Every
one wants the roads, so we will all
have to work and spend some Of our
time and money and boost for better
roads.
One Of the things most needed is
better drainage for the roads as well
as for the farms and at this time we
will confine this article TO the subject
Of drainage.
Drainage is the most important
matter to be considered in the con-
struction of roads. Drainage alone
will often change a bad road into a
good one while the best stone road
may be destroyed from a lack of prop
er drainage.
There are three systems of drainage
that we can use to advantage, and
these are undertakings, side bitches
and surface drainage.
Where water stands on a road IN
derdrainage without any grading is
better than grading without under
drainage. Underdrainage is not to re-
move simply the surface water but its
greatest help is TO lower the water lev
ell in the soil.
The action Of the sun and wind will
finally dry the surface of the road bat
if the foundation is wet and soft the
wheels will wear Tuts and these get
filled with water during the first rains
and the road becomes a sticky mass.
An undrained soil is poor founda'
ton upon which TO build roads as well
as anything else. When frost is leay-
ing the ground the thawing is quite
as much from the bottom as from the
top II underdrainage is provided the
water is Immediately removed.
The best and cheapest method to
secure underdrainage is to lay line
of farm drain tile on one or both sides
of the road. The new road law gives
the highway commissioners power to
contract with adjoining property own
ers to lay larger tile than is necessary
to drain the road and to permit the
contracting parties to drain theil
lands. This helps the roads and a
the same time is a great benefit tC
the adjoining land.
Side bitches are necessary to al
roads but no road can be maintained
with the ditch holding the water un
