day. We found the host and hostess
very kind and hospitable. They have
that happy way of making every one
feel welcome, who may come to their
cottage door. We with three Others
took boat ride The lake was like
a mirror We rowed from one lake,
through the channel, to the upper
lake. Every once in awhile we
stopped TO fish. 1t was our good
luck and our pride to catch eight
whole fish all by ourselves. They
were all whales and accompanied
US home, where they were put in the
frying pan. and when a rich golden
brown they were ravenously deyoured

Class Day.

Qrum nlgh school had Its usual
class day program which consisted
OF folk-dancing, pennant march,
winding the May-pole, a band
concert, and the exhibition of the
work entered in the various con-
tests. The band was kind enough
to play selection between each
dance and several at the begin
ming and end of the program. The
first dance was the Bohemian
komaro, the second the Finnish
reel, and the third Swedish
dance, Hopp Nor Anika. Then
came the pennant march and the
winding of the May pole with its
crimson and white streamers. The
girls did very well indeed, and we
are all justly proud of them.
The work in sewing, cooking.
and reed and raffia was on display
in the domestic science rooms, and
the exhibits in manual training,
mechanical drawing, stenciling
and leather work were in the
laboratory. More than two hun
dred people passed through the
various rooms, examining and
commenting on the work. Every
one seemed very interested in and
pleased with the displays.
In the evening, the senior class
gave farce, the "Lady from
Philadelphia" Miss Lillian Court

CH|SANA I RAIL

ITS TOLL

Wallace Williams, who left Chisana
for Mccarthy about July LIST, has not
as yet reached the latter place. Will
Jams was last seen July 9Th. in the
Skolai Basin near the Russell glacier
by e. K. Irving and fellow named
Barker. Irving and Barker went from
there over the goat trail via the Chiti-
stone, Williams preferring to go by
way of Skolai and the Nizina. Will
Jams was mushing in a pair Of hip
boots and it was thought at first that
he had been lost trying to ford the
Fredericks, which is swift and deep
at that time of the year. but it has
been learned that Williams knew it
was impossible to cross the Frederic
ka by going around and over the Fred
ericka glacier. AS it happen Mcleod,
who keeps a road house on the Skolai
Pass near the Nizina glacier. was at
that time on trip to Chisana and
there is no way of knowing whether
Williams really passed there or not,
but it is presumed that he did and
that in trying to cross the West Fork
of the Nizina lost his life.
Williams has been in the lower
country for quite a number of years
and is we'll known in that region. lie

FORESTRY MONEY
FOR TRAIL
BUILDING

Ed. Wood, of Valdez, who was ap-
pointed road overseer at the last ses-
sion of the territorial legislature, is
in Cordova, having come down from
the interior on yesterdays train. The
forestry money for road building in
the territory is now available, and
s11,31O.S0 is the amount that comes
to the Third division.
The expediture of this money is left
to the discretion of the road overseer
and Mr.. Wood realized the necessity
of improving the trail over Sour Dough
Hill and has advertised for bids for
this work, the same to be opened on
September 2. There are also some
repairs to be made to the trail leading
from Chitina to the mouth of the Kot-
sina. In the neighborhood of $4,000
will be required to do this interior
work.
Mr. Wood spent this morning in in
yestgating the most feasible way of
building a roadway to the old town.
He has about $4,000 for this work,
which will be let by contract. There
are two routes under consideration,
the one up A avanue and the other
from Second street. cutting across in
front of the Schaffer cottage. Which
ever trail is selected can later be ex-
tended to the cemetery.

SUPPRESSION
WAR NEWS

ROME, Aug. 2S-The Roman press
has joined vigorously in the chorus of
protest which is going up from every
country in active war, against the
difficulties of the censorship. Aside
from the fact that the censors are
military men, and unable to judge
matter from a newspaper viewpoint,
embarrassment is caused because there
are several distinct bodies of censors.
some of whom allow certain news to
pass while others suppress it.
An effect of the censorship on Roman
papers, is that the Milan journals are
finding great favor in the capital. The
reason is, the Milan censor is very
liberal, and the Roman censor severe,
the consequnce being that the Milan
papers are often the first to bring
news to Rome The latest and most
notable example is that of the Pope's
interview with the correspondent of
the Paris Liberte. The Corriere Della
Sera published it in full, while no
Roman paper was even allowed to
mention it, but when the Milan paper
arrived in Rome, the censorship on
the interview was finally lifted here.
The Roman papers do not object to
the suppression of military news,
which might even indirectly help
Italy's enemies, but much is censored
which is not military news at all.
The newspapers here are also con-
fronted with the mystery of the fact
that some foreign countries are allow
ed to have Italian news two or three
days earlier than the Italians them
selves get it.

Krawell. military commander of Brus-

the result, it is reported, of disagree

Kissing believed in stricter displine.
Matters came to a crisis when the
Government issued an order that no

Belgian or allied colors. Won Kra-

could be of no possible benefit, and
would merely irritate the populace.
He declined to put the order into eff

OPTOM|ST|C OVER
COPPER RIVER
COUNTRY

Col. A. M. Dewey, trustee for the IN
vestors in the new Lakina Copper
mines, near Strelna, is very optomis-
tic as to the future of this section Of
Alaska. His company is getting
ready to ship high grade copper ore
from the Lakinaw mines to the smell
tiers at Tacoma. The ore is to be
hauled with motor trucks from the
mines to the Copper River Railway at
Long Lake station, whence it will be
shipped by rail and steamship to Taco
ma. 1t is announced that shipments
will commence in October of this
year.
In an interview published in the
Seattle Times Col. Dewey says:
Seattle residents do not appear to re-
alize the importance to this city of
the great activities of the Guggenheim-
Morgan interests in Alaska and at the
smelters in Tacoma. Advices / have
received within the last week from
Cordova contain the information that
at least 100000 worth of copper is
passing through that port every four
weeks, or as much twenty-five or
thirty millions a year from the Ken
necott district alone.
"One thousand tons of copper ore,
valued at not less than s1,5OO,00O, was
received at Tacoma from Alaska dur
ing the past week. The capacity of
the Tacoma smelters are to be doubled
at once. And the increased business
in sight justifies the expenditure.
Another thing which Seattle people
ought to consider and which appears
to me to have been overlooked, is
this: With the great mineral re-
sources of Alaska as the foundation,
this city should become the center of
the mining industry of the Northwest.
Much of the wealth of this city has
been realized from mines in Alaska.
Government engineers have pronounc.
ed the Copper River country to con.
tain enormous exposed bodies of the
richest copper ore in the world, and it
is from this district that the two
millions or more each month is new
being shipped"

FAMINE STRICKEN
MEXICO LIVES
ON HERBS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s-Red Cross
advices received here state that the
famine conditions are daily proving
worse in Mexico City. Not only in
the city, where it is most easy to re-
lieve the sufferers. but in the sur
rounding country the conditions are
in describably bad, the famished peo-
pie subsisting on herbs and grasses.
In the capital itself at least one-fourth
of the entire populations is applying
to the Red Cross officials for relief.
The resources of the organization are
taxed to the utmost and many more
hundreds and thousands of dollars are
needed before the situation can be
adequately relieved. The committee
are considering the issuing of new
appeal to the generosity of the Ameri-
can people.
