CANCELLATION OF
 COAL CLAIM IN THE
 MATANUsKA ORDERED

The local land office this morning received the final cancellation Of the application Of Horace S. Oakley, for coal claim in the MatanuslSa field. This claim was one of the Frost group against which charges were filed. After the hearing the register and recorder of the land of- fee decided that the charges Of fraud had not been sustained, but rejected the application on the ground Of no work being done to- wards opening a mine. At no time during the hearing did Oakley allege that any work on the claim had been done. The Secretary, when rejecting the application. ordered the repay. ment of the purchase money to Oak ley and 1t is expected that this will also be ordered on all of the Frost group of claims.

CHENA SLOUGH
 TO BE SPAWNED
 BY STEEL BRIDGE

FAIRBANKS. May 14.-Superinten- dent R. J. Sommers. of the Alaska road commission. yesterday outlined in a general way to a representative of the Fairbanks Times the plans for the construction of the steel bridge which the road commission will construct across the Cinema riy- CT. The bride will not be draw bridge. the records of the war de- partment specifying that the foot of Cushman street makes the head Of navigation on the Cinema slough, but 1t will be high enough above the wa ter to permit motor boats and other small craft to so under it.
 There is an erronious impression to the effect that the bridge will rest on three piers. one on each shore of the stream and Q large concrete pier in the center of the stream. Such is not the plan of the commission. There will be one concrete pier on the Fairbanks side of Cinema River and another one on the Garden Island side of the river The steel span will rest on these heavily imedded concrete piers.
 At high water the bridge will be twelve feet above the water level, which will be constructed from the end Of Cushman street It will be filled with dirt on the Fairbanks side. while the Garden Island side will have a plank road running to the bridge from the street.
 The bridge will in no way be cf- fected by the spring breakups- It will be so constructed that the Ice cannot take it out. and 1t will be so built that 1t will be safe for the heaviest loads.
 The work on the piers will start in July.

OYERTURES FOR PEACE HAVE NO
 BASIS, HE SAYS

LONDON, May 2S.-"The latest oy- ertures, said to be of German origin, while not as insolent and impossible as previous statements on the same subject. certainly do not yet offer basis of negotiation" said Lord Robert Cecil. minister of war trade, in discussing the latest reputed Ger man peace terms.
 Lords Robert continued:
 We have never received, either officially or unofficially. any direct peace suggestions from Germany, and the only indirect oyertures we are aware of appear in the speeches Of Chancellor yon Bethmann-Hollweg and the recent German note to America.
 "We would not think of discuss ing or even considering any over lures without consulting our allies. No formal or informal conference for this purpose even has taken place
 "In diplomatic procedure. a neu- tral is hardly likely to make any suggestion of peace terms unless cer- tain they are acceptable to the re- cipient
 'Tf Germany should decide to ap- proach us through the medium of the United States, the latter would have to use It's own judgment as to whether or not to deliver the re- quest"
 While disclaimlng any knowledge of the internal condition of Ger many, Lord Roberts declared that the increasing reports of peace overtures indicate that there is truth in the stories that the Central powers are in desperate straits.

Pioneers OF Mankato will appear at
the Mankato historical pageant at
Sibley park July fourth in exact rep
lica of the real early day historic
figures. A professional makeup man
has been secured to take charge of
the historical characters, and pictures
of early day settlers are being gath
cred to send to him, so he will be
able to get all his materials and make
up ready before coming here. He is
expected to arrive the evening before
the Fourth. AS a result of his work
the pioneers will step out in the page
ant scenes with a realism that will
carry spectators back to by-gone days
in Mankato's. early history.
More men are needed to take part
as Indians and soldiers. On account of
the calling away of Company H the
committee is deprived of this re-
source, and their places must be sup
piled by men and boys with some
military training The high school ca
diets have volunteered, and more men
are yet needed There is talk of Sc
curing the Indians who took part in
the sham battle at Vernon Center
yesterday, and it is possible that they
may help out this scene. If they do
there will be plenty of Indians, and it
is hoped that the Vernon Center peo-
pie will see their way clear to do this
w. H. Pay has unearthed in North
Mankato the first dray ever used here.
1t is two wheeled affair and will be
used in the early settlers scene. In
olden times it was used to carry
merchandise from the steamers that
came regularly up the river from St.
Paul before the railroads were built,
Transporting the goods from the docks
to the stores.
There has been a division of opinion
about whether the stores should re-
main open on the Fourth. Some mer-
chants favor remaining open until
noon, and others favor remaining
closed all day. One advantage of re-
manning open until noon is that the
crowd, especially women and chill
dren, would have some place to go
and rest. A special provision will be
made for rest rooms in all parts of the
city, but the stores remaining open
would solve part OF the rest room
problem.
If the best business places remained
open it would help to advertise the
business, as strangers could visit
them.
A large part of the attendance at
the home coming and Fourth of July
celebration is expected to come by
automobile from a seventy-fiv mile
radius. 1t is very important that the
roads be in good condition by that
time. G. M. Palmer, chairman of the
Good Roads committee has made a
special request to the committee
members to be active in looking after
the roads. 1t is hoped that those who
have contracts for grading and caring
for the roads will see that the roads
are in fine condition in time for the
travel coming to the big celebration.
