Repairing roads along proposed Jack son highway-Surveying route for proposed electric transmission line to Birmingham.

Cul1man, October 19.-(Special. "A party of surveyors has encamped near Cullman for the purpose of surveying the route over which the Alabama Pow CT company proposes to erect a trans mission line for electricity from Mus sel Shoals in the Tennessee river from Decatur to Birmingham. The proposed route will evidently lie along Cullman county, not missing the new Louisville and Nashville railroad very much from here to Birmingham. The chief engineer of the party was in town yesterday looking about for prospects. If success ful the line will mean much to north Alabama
 The county commissioners are busy this week repairing the pike roads leading along the proposed Jackson Highway, relative to the coming of the pathfinders sometime next week L. N. Buell., secretary of the Cullman Com mercial club, stated today that the they reached this town and arrange ments have been completed for the visi- tors to spend the night here. A public display of Cullman county exhibits will be feature attraction for them.
 Superintendent Smith attended the opening of the White City school Mon day and reports large enrolment. The school is under the leadership of Miss Gross, with Misses Sarah Burnum and Luella Oden assisting. County Farm Demonstrator J. K. Turner was among the visitors to the school.
 The first rice ever grown in Cullman county was exhibited at the newspaper office in Cullman today. The specimen was one raised by w. NJ. Bragg on J. J. Shells farm 15 miles northeast of here. The plant stands about three feet in height and has well developed heads, but is darker than the China or the Louisiana rice. With the advent of rice into Cullman county the farmers will have begun diversification in earnest. The grower has only a small plot of about one-sixteenth of an acre. but will plant a larger plot next year. This coun- ty is adapted to most any plant that grows, though the best of some things do not grow here

ENCOURAGING REPORTS
 COME FROM HORSEFLY

Arrivals from Horsefy creek, the scene of the recent excitement, this week report that Jim Brewer has succeeded in reaching bedrock, and that his banning tests disclosed fair ly good pay. Reports vary as to the values uncovered, but there seems to be an increased interest in the work being done there. Prospectors are continually coming and going, and the creeks adjacent to Horsehy are re- ceiving more attention as the result of recent developments.
 The depth of the ground on Horse fly creek seems to vary considerably Frank Morgan, who returned early in the week, reports that he sunk some twenty-five feet and had not reached bedrock.
 As yet there has not been enough work done to determine the extent of the pay, but it is likely that within a short time this will be known, as many outfits are working there.- Iditarod Pioneer

MAY HAVE LOST HIS LIFE

IDITAROD-Recent arrivals from the Kuskokwim tell of an incident which occurred on the Aniak which may mean that Oscar Beaulieu, young man well known in this district, may have lost his life.
 AS related, the story goes that Beaulieu started to cross the Aniak river near the home of Duke Stubbs, and broke through the ice. His matches became wet and he shouted to Mrs. Stubbs to send him over some matches by one of his dogs. The dog was dispatched with the matches, but returned, and in spite of the fact that Mrs. Stubbs is said to have shouted repeatedly to the traveller, he had dis appeared and has not been seen since.

UNCLE SAM FINDS WIFE
 FOR FORMER ALASKAN

Charles Dreibelbis, the hero of the following newspaper story is we'll known to many Alaskans. At one time he was a deputy marshal under United States Marshal Love, station ed at Fairbanks. The story is from the San Francisco Examiner of August 27:
 CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Uncle Sam has prosecuted scores of matrimonial agents. Now, involuntariIy, he has become one of them. Here's how:
 Charles Dreibelbis, owner of A. OOO-acre ranch in Montana, came to the stockyards last spring with fifteen carloads of cattle. He sold his stock, then strolled out to see the sights, and saw the sign of the federal em- ployment bureau. The rancher want ed a housekeeper. He had lost his wife eight years ago in the gold fields of Alaska.
 Ward E. Thompson, government employment agent, asked concerning his means.
 "Well," said the rancher, q sup pose if I had to l could raise $5OO,- 900 in two hours. I have a home in Montana, ffty-six miles from a rail road. l want someone to tidy up the house a bit and keep it looking pretty"
 Thompson thought of a woman who had applied for work. He telephoned to her and she came to his office. She was followed by a l7-year-old son. Dreibelbis offered to pay $40 a month to her and like sum to her son. But the woman hesitated. The ranchcr returned home without her, but left money for her transportation.
 The woman seeking matrimony. wrote him many letters, but he was not anxious to marry All he want ed was a housekeeper.
 On May l5 a pretty widow 26 years old, accompanied by little boy, ask ed Thompson to find a position for her son. She had been a stenog- rapher.
 q have just the place" said Thompson, and he wired to the ranch.
 "Send her along" was the answer. The widow went to Montana
 And now Thompson has received an engraved announcement. It reads: "Charles Dreibelbis and Mrs. Marjorie L. Yates announce their marriage, Saturday, July 24, 1915. At hone, Wolsey, Mont"
 And with it was an invitation to "come out and bring the fanny"

expressed fear that the effort raise the would not

amount in the Senate Saturday If Secretary Lane had

WASHINGTON Feb 19-There is every reason to believe
that the various needs of Alaska will be favoraby
generously considered by the Senate than they the

days being considered by the Senate appropriations

are being increased by the committee
The coast survey appropriation has been raised 1925 900
This will permit 100000 instead of $4,000 being spent for wire
dags to be used in locating obstacles navigation in the

OF two parties instead of contemplated

The above work has been strongly urged by Secretary

The recent report of Dr. E. Lester JONES' deputy

Minnesota Leads.

Not single day passes by but
what the greatness of the State of
Minnesota is brought to the notice of
the public in some way or another
The latest point brought out is in
the declaration of Walter J. Smith,
state treasurer, who predicts that a
growth in volume of business unpre-
cedented in the history of Minnesota
is destined to be recorded this year.
The immensely Of Minnesota in a
state business way is forcibly shown
by the following comparisons with
states of about the same population:
Nebraska, 1913 and 1914, two
years, $24,3OO, 473.54;I Indiana, 1913,
one year, $23,347,526.O5: Ohio,
1913, one year, $24,310,596.01; Min
nesota, 1913, $36,769,163.37; Min
nesota, 1914, $43,394,755.21.
AS indicating one item of work in
the office of the state treasurer, the
number of checks written is interest
ing.
In 1909 the number Of checks writ
ten in payment of warrants for the
various institutions and departments
Of the state was 66,S2S. In the
sixth year thereafter, 1914, this num-
Der had increased to 105,857. For
the present fiscal year Mr.. Smith es-
Inmates that 10000 checks will be
written by his clerks. This indi-
Gates an increase of 100 per cent
since 1909.
