N|z|NA TRA|LSARE IN NEED OF
 REPAIRS

We are informed that there has been appropriated for the benefit of Alaska roads and trails, something like $500,O00 for use during the ensuing year. The attention of Colonel Rich ardson is respectfully directed to the mudhole between Mccarthy and the Nizina river, sometimes called the Nj gina trail. Also to the lack of bridge across the Nizina river. Twenty men have lost their lives in the Nizina dur ing the last five years and more will perish unless something is done With in the past week another victim of the river has been found
 Without in any manner reflecting on the good work that the road com mission has done on the Valdez and other trails, we respectfully submit that a camp which is producing some thing over a quarter of a million dol lars year IS worthy ol lne eApehui ture of some of the appropriation.
 The rate of packing freight to the Nizina from Mccarthy is eight cents per pound, a distance of less than 25 miles. It is no wonder that the old timer from Dawson talks with enthu- siasm about the Canadian govern ment's policy in road building. - Mo Carthy Avalanch

 TO BALTIMORE TODAY To Speak Before the National Grain Dealers Association.

Long Bran?h. N. J.. Sept 24-Fully launched in lis campaign for re-elec- tion, President Wilson will go to Bal timore tomorrow to speak before the National Grain Dealers association.

 All of Mr Wilson's political lieuten- ants here, including Colonel E. M. House. who spent the week end with him, said that from now on the pres ident will be much more active politi- cally He has made it plain, however, that the only kind of campaign he will conduct will be of dignif1ed nature.
 Tuesday MT Wilson will motor to Princeton, his former home, to vote in the New Jersey primaries. He is particularly interested in the contest between Senator Maritime and Attor- ney G fleral Westcott of New Jersey for the senatorial nomination. Judge Westcott saw him yesterday morning.

Boston, Sept. 24.-A. heavy fog that hung over the New England coast on Friday night and early Saturday. mad which was responsible for the wreck of the steamer Bay State, brought dis aster and minor mishaps to other yes sels.
 The fishing steamer Dolphin, of Gloucester, piled up on Milk Island, off Rockport, during the fog, and was wrecked, the crew being saved in a small boat
 Off Thatcher's Island an unfdenti- fed barge aground On a reef caused the coast guard cutter Androscoggin to hurry to it's assistance. The barge was foated without assistance on Q rising tide and apparently was not seriously damaged

L-21. and they cheered the gunners and their fortunate shots that brought the raiders to earth.
 Attack Was Expected.
 All London expected the attack last night, the Germans evidently having selected Saturdays for their greatest efforts. But Q bright moon deterred any attempt since three weeks age when thirteen raiders came over the sea. The change from the unlucky thirteen to twelve last night, how ever, brought worse. rather than bet ter luck to the flying squadron. From the moment the first Zeppelin appear ed it was evident that the raiders were of the new and large types. This has been borne out by the two brought down.
 Bodies Charred.
 One of the burning Zeppelins ir falling crashed through a row of trees in Essex. two of which pierced the lattice work of the envelope supports As usual, the village fire engine was quickly on the scene and began put ting water on the blazing wreck. Po- lice constables and volunteers remov- ed the bodies as rapidly as possible Some of those were charred beyond all recognition. while others were still white and recognizahis.~-aAll-- appeared to be young men, we'll clad and wear ing the remains of stout leather coats and sohes of rather poor quality which is taken here to indicate that good footwear is not plentiful in Ger many.
 Wonder Casualties Were Not Greater
 From the number of bombs drop ped, both explosive and incendIary the authorities wonder why the cas- ualties were not greater. The Zeppe- lins seemed abundantly applied with ammunition.
 Householders along the thorough fares heard the Bomb explosions growing louder and louder as the raiders came with the speed of an ex- press and took their baptism of fire calmly as they passed and heaved a sigh of relief as the reports diminish ed in the distance.
 The missiles dropped by the hostile aircraft caused numerous fires and demolished or damaged a large num- Der of residences and stores in Lon don.
 Casualties in London.
 The casualties in the Metropolitan district are, according to an official compilation, as follows:
 "Killed-men IT; women 8: children g. Total 28

American Members to Continue In- quiry Into Social mad Economic Con- ditions.

New London, Conn, Sept. 24-Pro- fessing satisfaction with the progress already made, members of the Mexi- an-Amertcan joint commission will begin the fourth week of their confer ence here tomorrow. It is expected the American members will continue their inquiry into the social and economic as we'll as the military problems of Mex ico on the ground that conditions in northern Mexico are too intimately related to internal affairs to justify them in entering into an agreement for border control without a definite understanding of what changes for the better are to be made nearer the seat of government.
 The Mexicans have received from Andreas Garcia, Mexican consul at Fl Paso, report of the attack on Chi huahua by Villa forces, denying that the attacking party obtained any am- munition and that Villa personally ap- peared in the city.
