Good improvements.

The city administration is doing
some mighty fine Improvement
work in the line of cement cross
ings for streets and alleys. All of
the important crossings were put
in and VIM. Torbett, the contrac-
tor, did a good job. Several hun
dred feet of new cement walk
around the town have made a big
improvement. The north side of
Bridge street from River to First
is in fine condition with the ex-
eeption of a little strip of wood
walk in front of the Sweetwater
property and the Webb corner,
and we hope to Q these two
places cemented pretty soon.

Nearly half million dollars have been
spent for building and public service i'm

as now drawing to a close. The total
amount reported by the various con-
tractors, city officials, etc., foots up to

numerous smaller jobs of work, including
many small buildings, and possibly some
residences built by day labor which have
escaped us, which will no doubt bring
the amount expended we'll near the half
million dollar mark.
Among the largest items are those Of
the municipal heating plant, the Weiser
building, the Becker block and the New

 SAYS I FA|RBORN
MANY PEOPLE HAVE VISITED THE lNTERioR-MoRE TO
 COME NEXT YEAR

That the companies business, in solar as the tourist traffic Is con cerned, has been the best since it went into business in interior Alaska, is the statement made by James A. Fairborn, general agent of the American-Yukon Navigation company and the White Pass X Yukon Route. located here. The Grand Belt Tours of Alaska are now over, the transportation com panies having conducted two Of them this season, but it is not at all unlikely that tourists who did not care to come north with the struggle along until the close Of navigation. In fact. there are number of them in Fairbanks now. although by far the larger part went out on the steamer Yukon last week after they had spent several days in Fairbanks.
 M dIlDOI tAptN-S tLIdl lAtIt will be a much heavier tourist tray el next year. Particularly will this b. true unless the war in Europe should end, in which event most Gf those who lLne annual trips far f; cm the beaten paths of tourists vii! probably hie themselves to tbe battle-scarred fields of France and Belgium Regardless of that fact, however, the northern transportation companies are even now preparing for an elaborate advertising cam LH:gn. in the hope of getting large numbers of people to visit Alaska next summer
 A large numGC.' of the people who Came to Alaska this summer did not visit Fairbanks Some of them eut to the coast towns, and still Ctkers came to the interior as far as Dawson. And there were still o:ters who cams down from Daw- son on the MidElcht Sun tour and saw the midnight sun on the Yu- kGn river during the latter part of June The construction of a 40- room hotel at Atiin by the White Iass compan.5 was finished during ;he latter part Of June, and since it's completion it has been crowded with tourists all the time.
