WAGON ROAD TO ATLIN
 IS CONSIDERED FEASIBLE
Preliminary Investigation Made By Superintendent ]. C. Hayes of
 Alaska Road Commission

Superintendent J. C. Hayes, of the Alaska Road Commission for
 the First Division of Alaska, and
 William 'Pendergast, foreman,
 have returned from trip up Taku
 river as far as the Canadian bound
 ary, says the Juneau Dispatch.
 The trip of three days was for the purpose of making sn investigation
 as to the feasibility of constructing
 a wagon road from the mouth of
 the river to the boundary line at
 which point said road vii. connect
 with a road, the building of which lis contemplated bythe Atlin people.
 The two sections of road when completed will connect Juneau with Atlin.
 Hayes made this preliminary ,ex- animation of the proposed route ;at the request of Colonel Richardson whose desire 1t is to cooperate with the Canadian officials and residents of Atlin in bringing about the building of theroad. If this pro- jecti put through iit means much to Juneau as well as being advan- tageous to the .Atlin country. The route now travelled via. Skag- way, covers distance of approx. imatdly 25o miles. Over the pro- posed Taku route this will be re- duced about 16o miles. Freight and passengers may be transported between the two towns at greatly reduced cost.
 It is the finest country in Alas ka," said Mir. Mayes yesterday.
 There are many acres of fine till able land justready to put 'plow in, and it is covered with fine wild rice; you could grow anything along the route. The construction of a wagon road would not be a Very difficult undertaking. Only about three miles at this end along the slide would require much work. Foreman Pendergast and myself went up the river in a small gas boat and made notes .ot the con- ditions along the way, which we found most favorablefor the build- ing of a road such as is proposed. l will report the result of my in- vestigations to Colonel Richard son.

Wrangell is represented on the Republican ticket by Peter C. Nc Cormack, who is one of the can- diaates for the Legislature from the first division.
 MT. Mccormack is not only a public spirited citizen, but is a leader in educational matters in i this end of the division. He has tor years taken deep interest in school affairs, and has been one of the strongest advocates .of better school facilities. Tn conversation with Sentinel reporter, MT. Me- Cormack said:
 "I have never been able to un- derstand why Alaska is the only Territory that has never been per. mitted to control her own school rev. enue. 1 understand there is a bill known as H. M. 6o56,now pending in the Committee on Territories, which wouldremove thisih dicap. 1 have not had opportunity to read this Bill, but l am heartily in fa- vor of any Bill which would give complete control of the public schools of Alaska to the Territorial government. We would than be able to have a superintendent of public instruction, uniform sys- tenn of methods. and textbooks, and provision for the examination and certihcation of teachers, as required elsewhere.

 Fisheries Advisory Board
Prince Rupert News

At a Board ot Trade IT eeting on Friday night, J. T. C. Williams raised the impor tant matter of the scarcity of herring bait for the hali- but fisherman. He proposed that the halibut men be allowed to catch their own bait wherever herring were found, these to be used ex- clusively flor bat and no license to be charged for the privilege. He said that several of the halibut men had been taking salmon, owing to the shortage of herring kait.
 George R. Nelson said that he was told that cannery had refused to sell salmon when asked to pro- vide them for bait.
 Mir. Williams did not think this could be So, though salmon MeDe so valuable this year that the can ners wanted all they could get for canning purposes.
 The matter will be brought be- fore.F. H. Cunningham and D. N. Mcintyre when they visit Prince Rupert this fall in connection with thelr duties on the Fishenies Ad- visory Board.

TO PRESERVE MEAT
APPROVED METHODS OF PREPA.
RATION FOR CANNING.
Sterilization of Jars Intended to Con.
tain the Product Is an important
Feature-ReceptacIe Must Be
Absolutely Alright.

Prepare the meat, poultry or game
that it is desired to can by cutting
it into convenient size to fit into I've
jars to be used The Jars must be
prepared by being either scalded in a
bath of boiling water, or sterilzed by
being placed in pan of cold water
to completely cover them, the whole
being gradually heated to the boiling
point, filling the meat into the jars
directly each one is taken from this
boiling bath. Sterilize the covers of
the jars by dropping them into boil
ing water just before they are to be
used. Sprinkle the meat with salt.
No water is required as the meat
makes jelly itself. Put a layer OF
hay in the bottom of a wash-boiler.
and put in the jars. Sometimes they
are packed between the bay to keep
them apart. Fill up the boiler with
cold water nearly to the top of jars
(having laid covers loosely on top)
and put on the lid. When water
boils let it boil four hours longer,
when the meat will be thoroughly
cooked. If necessary, add more boil
ing water, to keep the jars well Gov
cred. When done, take out each jar
separately (have rubbers soaking in
warm water), sealing at once to eX-
clude the air. The main point in
keeping is to have jars sealed air
tight Before taking out the Jars
have thick cloth wrung out of cold
water ready to set them on TO pre-
vent breaking while Tightening ON
tie covers.
Another method for poultry or
meat is TO cut up, season and stew
the meat or poultry, just as if for
immediate use After it is thorough
ly cooked it is placed in glass fruit
jars and packed firmly in. Then the
stock is boiled down well. and poured
boiling hot-over the meat in the
jars, and the covers screwed on
tightly.
