 Col. Richardson announced last night that a special estimate of S4lO' 900 would be asked of Congress this winter to complete and standardize the wagon road from Valdez to Fair banks, making it able to take care of tho traffic demands.
 The construction of O sled road from Fairbanks to Tolovana was the only new project entered upon by the commission this summer, and $l0f 900 of the commissions funds, plus S5,OO0 raised in Fairbanks, are being used in the work.
 "The work for the season Is practi cally through" said Col Richardson last night at the Savoy. "We had extra fine weather for road building but the fine warm weather simply brought us more work by melting the glaciers. causing floods which swept out culyerts and damaged the roads We had much more repair work than usual on this account. Forest fires were also prevalent and did @ great deal of damage by burning out cul verts and bridges."- Seattle Daily Times)

bozannas and hallelujahs Will ring out

Probably, more than ever before

that the war across the sea, the suffering
and the slaughter is responsible for the
greater appreciation of the peace this
country enjoys, which will be expressed
at tomorrows services: or IT may be the
effect of the general revival that is
sweeping through the country. But.
whatever the cause, it cannot be denied
that the church people are more alert
this year than they have been in many
years to meaning and significance of
Easter.
This has been indicated through the
unusually large attendance at the Lenten
services in the churches. And, with the
approach of the most joyful of all hoh-
days. there has been widening interest
In the coming observances. The music
programs arranged have seldom, If ever,
been surpassed.

In all Catholic churches Mass will be

In churches of other denominations
special exercises will mark the observ-

heard, and on lily-bedecked altars tall
candles will gleam among the flowers.
Elaborate musical programs will charac-

In the churches of st. Clements, st.

others where the ancient Anglican ritual
is followed, the services will he particu-
