CONVICT LABOR ON
 STATE HIGHWAYS

The difficulties of building roads
 in the mountains are many. The
 transportation of supplies to the workmen, the construction of satis- factory quarters, and the execution of the work under the conditions of
 weather and topography existing in the mountains are so troublesome
 that contractors require stiff prices for such roads, says an exchange.
 In the mountainous counties of Cali fornia, the State Highway Commis- sion is now building highways very successfully with convicts. All through the snows and rains of last winter two gangs of 125 convicts, without armed guards, living in
 camps of unequaled character and living on food of unsurpassed qual- ity for such work, labored away on
 very difficult road through moun- tain canyon. When the bad weather
 eneded, it was found that the eight miles thus built cost one fourth less than the engineers estimate and a little more than half what similar work in the same locality had cost
 when done by contract. With the advent of good weather the cost be- | came less. "There is no longer a question that convict labor is not only successful as humanitarian
 measure the commission reports, but that it will make possible the
 construction of many miles of noun
 tain roads that otherwise could not be built"

MCPHERSON IS MANAGER

SEATTLE, Dec 17.-With much impor- tant work to be done during the winter, the Alaska bureau of the New Chamber of Commerce last night created the position of manager and appointed J. L. McPher- son, secretary of the organization since it was founded, in 1911, to the post. His selection was unanimous.
 The managership, according to McPher- son, was decided upon as means of cen, tralizing the work of the bureau and mak- ing it unnecessary for the executive com mittee of the organization to assemble minor details.
 The chief work of the bureau during the winter will be to prepare data in support of cmapaign for legislation for and de- velopment of Alaska and this is now going forward under McPherson's direction.
 The committee at yesterdays meeting also voted to continue J. H. Edwards, vice president of the Dexter Horton Trust X Savings Bang, as chairman of the bureaus finance committee.

 Camp Is Promising

OPHIR, Alaska, Jan. l9.-Ophir lgloo No. Il, Pioneers of Alaska, held dance in this city on the night of January l, which was attended by about twenty couples, and dancing was kept up until morning. All seemed to have a good time. A fine supper was served by the ladies of the camp, and all had jolly good time: Good music, and good, jolly bunch of people can have fun any time, and that Is the way we are fixed here.
 The old camp seems to produce just about the same year after year, and 1t looks just as good for the future as in the past. If anyone stampedes away from the camp they stampede back again, so we just about hold our own.
 The coldest weather on record in the camp wes on January l9, when the ther- mometer registered 64 degrees below zero.
 Everyone here is in the best of health, the mail comes regular, and there IS plenty of grub salmon and blueberries.

Cuttina Affray on Long Creek

Ralph Barldo is under $2,GO0 bonds for stabbing Cole McDougal at Long City last Wednesday night, says the Ruby Record Citizen of January l. McDougal was stabbed three times-in the hip, in the shoulder and in the side, the latter wound entering the abdominal cavity and being the most dangerous. Attendants think it's result will not be very serious unless blood poisoning should set in. There are sev- eral versions of the affair, but all agree that in the Senate saloon, at about : 30 on the night in question, Barldo laid his jumper or coat on a table and went into the toilet On returning he saw the gar ment lying in a spittoon and asked "Who put that there?" McDougal answered either that he did or that he did not--ver- sions differ; and, using some bad language, said if Barldo didn't like 1t he could mighty soon put him there too. The men almost immediately clinched and the cutting fol

The Storm al Nome

The city of Nome was threatened with destruction on the night of January s, when 8 terrific storm drove the ice of Boring sea and piled it into mountains against the doors of the buildings on the beach side of Front street. In places the ice was piled up for mere than fifty feet, and lowered above the buildings so that one standing on Front street could look over the tops of the houses at great glacial peaks rising from within few feet Of the boarded thoroughfares. The Scsnon caisson and pier, which have wlthstood all the storms of years, were crushed like eggsEellg. Fer time the people believed that only a few more hous would be nec- essarv to have the whole business part ot the city buried under the ice mountain which rose as the storm drove 1t ln from the ocean. 4 bowling blizzard made mat ters worse Above and below the city vast pies of ice were heaped to great elevations on the tundra Along Front street the sea was shut out from view at Barracks square by the great mountain ridge.
