  Engineer Officer of Alaska Road Com. mission will Travel. Over Alas. ka's Winter Roads.

Lieut.. J. c. Mehaffey, engineer or the Alaska Road commission, is pre- paring to leave on one of the first steamers for Seward, where he will begin an overland trip which will take him several thousand miles through interior Alaska. He is making the trip at this time in order to familiar ize himself with conditions in the diff ferent sections of the country where the commission hopes to build roads or trails if congress provides a sufti- eiently large appropriation for that purpose.
 At Seward, Lieut.. Mehaffey will be joined by Anton Bids, superintendent of the commission, and together they will travel by dog team through to Anchorage and on to Iditarod. From Iditarod they will go to Ruby and other Yukon river points en route to Fairbanks.
 Lieut.. Mehaffey has been receiving good reports regarding the develop ment of the Tolovana camp and should time permit he will visit that district before the breakup next spring. The Road commission has taken over the bridge at Fairbanks which spans the Cinema slough and material will be sent up the Yukon river early next summer for the con- struction of permanent bridge there and end for all time the bridge trouble which has been a source of vexation to the residents of the town each spring since the discovery of the camp.

VALDEZ SAWM|LL
 WILL BE REBUILT
Charles R. Crawford has Purchased Site of Old Mill and will Els.
 tablish Mill and Yards.

That Valdez Is soon to have one of the best equipped sawmills in Alaska to- replace, the one destroyed by fire last July is the latest announcement made by ,Chas. R. Crawford, the con- tractor, and builder. .... 7.
 MT. Crawford suffered the loss of years of labor when his big blaming mill and woodworking factory was destroyed in the fire but he has su- |preme faith in the future of Valdez and is planning to build bigger and better than ever.
 He has purchased the site occupied by the Copper River Lumber com pany's sawmill and lumberyard from Judge Bunnell and will erect mill having a capacity of twenty or twen- ty-five thousand feet of lumber per day. He promises that the mill will be turning out lumber before April l and that the market will be plenti- fully supplied with the choicest na- tive lumbers, for. all classes of work.
 Previous to the July ire the Cop per River Lumber company was own ed by Wm. Ethical and Judge Bun. nell,. and the latter has since pur- chased the interest of his co-partner in order that he could dispose of 1t to the new owner. When the fire wiped out their business Messrs. Fini- cal and Bunnell suffered very heavy loss as in addition to the mill build ing with it's splendid equipment they had more than one million feet of seasoned lumber piled in the yard.
 The property involved in the tran saction consists of one acre of patent ed ground which also carries with it the right of use of the tideflat ad- joining for the lumber yard. He has also taken over the big boilers and engines of the company which passed through the fire as they were found Ito have sustained practically no in jury as the pumps were left working Hucu luS AduSS IOdCAcu tue, AAiAA 1AO the inflow of water prevented the
 boilers from being destroyed.
 The work of clearing the site for the mill building will begin at an early date and will be rushed to com Ipletion. Arrangements are now be- ling made by MT. Crawford to send a crew of men down the Sound to get out necessary piling for the buildings as we'll as rafts of timber for the mill. The news that the Valdez sawmill will again be doing business at an early date will be welcomed by the residents of Valdez. The town has largely recovered from the effects of the big fire but the loss of the payroll maintained by the Copper River Lum- Der company has been sadly missed by the many men who were sure of earning at least sufficient money to keep them in the hills for the balance of the year.
 Valdez will welcome the old famil- far sound of the sawmill whistle again, and will thank MT. Crawford for his enterprise.
