Conclusion

1t is desired to accentuate the
Importance of adequate engineer
ing supervision for whatever
road improvement the county
may undertake, and to make ef-
fective some definite arrange
ment for maintenance In some
locations the soil will need special
treatment: sandy stretches across
the valley of the north and south
fork of the Grand river will need
a mixture of gumbo or clay; and
gumbo or clay soil will need an
application of sand. Where the
hills on section lines represent
such steep grades that the cost
of reducing them makes it pro.
hibitive, detours around the hills
is recommended to secure an
easier gradient. Also where the
road is on semi swampy ground.
subject to overflow, it should be
located on higher ground. All
new bridges and culverts should
be constructed with an idea to
permanency, leaning we'll to the
side of safety. The above grad
ing estimates in the tabulated

 day Night Began Movement to Protect Outside Investors.

A good program addresses by prominennt business men of the north was car ried through.

Some of the speakers pre- dicted that Alaska was due for pe- riod of tremendous development and that money wound be forthcoming with which to open up the mines which had been held back for years throl gh lack of capital.
 With q view of checking wildcat ting the Alaska miners in attendance at the smoker began the organization of war against fake mining promo tion schemes.

 President Wilson declared that while America was preparing great CT national defense that she was un- afraid and that she would scorn to use her power against the weaker na- tions or for conquest. He believed the American people were relying upon him to keep the nation from being involved in the war which was raging in Europe and at the s;,me time to sustain the honor of the na- tion unsullied. He declared that it was becoming more difficult each day to guide the ship of state through the diplomatic channels and that it night be impossible to avoid being drawn into war.

ANOTHER BREAK
 IN THE CABLE
Messages are Being Promptly Hand- led over the Government System
 Between Sitka and Cape.

The government cable between Valdez and Seattle again went out of yesterday morning This time the break occurred between Val dez and Sitka and is believed. to be near the latter place where breaks most frequently happen. The fact that the break is north of Sitka will mean that 1t may be several days aud possibly weeks before direct con mu- nication via the cable will be restor- ed.
 The cableship Burnside, which was in drydock when the break occurred a few weeks ago, is believed to be in Seattle and should be ready to sail for the north at an early date. to make the repairs.
 Lieut.. Dougherty has announced that while the cable is out of com that the business will be ham, dled over the navy radio system be- tween Sitka anu Hinchinbrook, from which point Valdez messages and all interior points will be sent direct to Valdez. Cable instruments were re- gently installed at Hinchinbrook, which permits of messages being sent direct to Valdez without relay at Cor dova, as was formerly the case.
 Two members of the staff of the local office of the Signal Corps, -Tar- rent T. Gill and Cyril S. Sterling left on the Admiral Farragut this orn- ing for Cordova en route to H'rch- inbrook and after their arrival there no delay is anticipated in caring for all business offered.

RUSSIAN EUROPEAN
 PORTS ARE CLOSED
Shippers notified that Arcb- angel has been closed by Ice
 Will Handicap Russians.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.--Officials of American steamship compahies whose vesel operate between Amer ican ports and Archangel, on the White Sea, have received information from Petrograd warning them against dispatching any more freighters as the port Is closed with ice.
 The news that the northern Rus sian port has been closed to transpor- tation with ice was not unexpected by navigators who had recently re- turned from trips into the Arctic. Captains of vessels who were in A,cA- angel late in December report that the icebreakers, of which there were four, were experiencing difficulty in keeping the channel open.
 Intensely cold weather is said to have prevailed ill northern Russia during the past few weeks and has closed all Russian European porta to shipments of munitions and other war material.
 It is believed here that the closing of the port will handicap the Czar's government ill it's military opt ra- tions as all munitions for the months to come will of necessity have to be taken across Sibera from Vladivos- tok It Is also reported that tho ves- sels now loaded with cargoes for Archangel vii be sent to the Siberian port via the Panama canal.

It evolves about the right of the First Division to spend the profits of the timber sales of the Tongass forest re- serve.

CTS watched the flashes of the shells from the anti-aircraft guns as they exploded around the enemy. There was no panic but remarkable out burst of hate went up to the enemy in the sky.
 The damage to property is slight as compared to some of the former raids as many of the shells dropped into the streets. The raid is believed to have been planned in celebration of the Kaiser's birthday but was de- layed ~. the gale which swept Ep- rope for several days during the past week.
 The military authorities are en- deavoring to learn how the Zeppe!ins escaped the detection of the guards at the forts surrounding the city as no warning of the second attack had been received before the enemy was over the city.
