 SPEND A MILLION
GOOD ROADS ACTIVITIES
TWO HUNDRED MILES OF JEF- PERSON HIGHWAY SURVEY
 ED IN WEST ARKANSAS.

Earle, March 10.-Activity for the preliminary plans of four road dis tricts began here this week, follow ing the supreme courts decision on the Alexander road law. While the constitutional question was not touch ed, Crittenden people are so anxious to spend more than $1,0O0000 for hard-surfaced roads that they are now tentatively maturing plans, di- viding the county into four districts
 District No. has selected it's three commissioners, Davis Biegs of Riggs, w. R. Castles of Riceville and w. R. Mcdaniel of Hubert. They announce a plan to spend about $S,000 per mile for 30 miles of roads leading from the Arkansas end of the Rock Island railroad bridge opposite Memphis to Waverly, Hubert and Riceyille. A good roads expert will be employed to superintend the work
 G. w. Sims of Neuhardt, J. c. E Beck, J E. Williford will organize District No. ?, to open up the south end from Waverly> to Pinckney and Seypel, and running south to the Lee county line, west through Kanema, Neuhardt, Edmondson and Proctor to the St. Francis and Cross county lines, about 30 miles, to cost $8,000 to $10,000 per mile
 Earle and Charlottesville will or ganize District No. 3, a network of nearly 100 miles.
 The fourth district will serve Hea- fer, Turrell, Marion and Mound City. For the four districts the aggregate bond issue will be over $1 ,000,0 and full organization will immediate ly follow if the supreme court holds the Alexander law constitutional

The following communication
relative to the adjustment of the
so-called "differential charges"
formerly in force at the Seattle
assay office will doubtless relieve
general misunderstanding as to
the conditions obtaining in the
matter of handling gold receipts
which has undoubtedly worked to
the disadvantage of the miners OF
Alaska The statement is the re-
ply of the assayer in charge to a
letter of inquiry concerning the
change in the office charges, from
J. L. Mcpherson of the Alaska
bureau.
Two orders of the director OF
the, United States mint, dated
June 9, 1913, ana another of No
vember 80, 1914, abolished the
so-called "differential charge of
one-eighth of one per cent, equal
to SI.25 per each $1,000" prev
iously in force at the United
States assay office in Seattle.
Charges at little were then
adjusted with, and now are, on
the same basis as the present
charges at the United States
minis at Philadelphia, Denver and
San Francisco.
The Seattle assay office is from
300 to 1000 miles nearer to AL
aska than anv other United States

Woman's new status in the
public mind, on account of the
war, is hardly yet understood, SO
generally is it taken as a natural
thing. Yet how far removed is it
from what was natural only a
lew years ago.
y c all like to look back to the
hcroisn. and service of Florence
Nightingale; but today there are
hundreds and thousands of wo-
men doing such work where there
were ten in her day. She had the
courage and the ability to stop
out from the ranks of womanhood
and dare to do 2leat things in
great times. So her heroism and
usefulness are beyond question.

DOG RACE:
NOTES
- "a

George F. Kilroy received a
long wire from Jack Underwood
of the Seattle Times this morning
in which the noted writer requests
him to forward all particulars as
to the coming Sweepstakes race.
Underwood mentions the fact
that Alaskans in Seattle and all
coast cites are clamoring for dope
on the northern classic.
Despite the fact that Scotty AL
Ian is not with us, the race gives
promise of being the best for a
good many years. New blood
will be seen on the trail-it is
rumored-and the Kennel club
eagerly await the entries.
Bobby Brown states his inten-
ton of entering. His dogs are
quarter-stag on the heavy side
and have exhibited excellent stay
ing qualities in the long drives
he has made during the winter.
Dame rumor hath it that our
popular marshal will also have a
team in the race. He has string
of dogs whose staying qualities
is their strong forte, and if the
race is run in heavy weather they
will have an even break with the
best.
Another possible entry is the
jovial president of the Kennel
Club. He has maintained big
stable of Siberians, who, like the
Cossacks of yester-year and to-
day, are never tried and never
beat.
The Bowen-Delezene kennels
have some thoroughbred stock in
their racing string this year. Since
Fay won the classic three years
ago he has gone into the raising
OF racing stock GOOD anil strong.
Percy Blatchford and the "Ken-
lucky Kernel" have a whole flock
Of dogs strung across the PENN
sula from which they will select
a strong aggregation for the big
event.
Leonard Seppala refuses to
be interviewed" He is "out to
win" and at that the matter ends
as far as Sweepstakes dope goes
with him.
Fred Aver with his string OF
speedy flyers will probably be one
of the entries.

government purchasing agency;
and Alaskans depositing gold in
Seattle, can save from two to four
days required to ship thousand
miles farther, and secure payment
therefor; also there will be saw
,t,p in transportation charges,
than if the gold were shipped
elsewhere.
In payment for deposits of gold
at the Seattle assay office, the
government furnishes no cash,
but only checks to be issued by
t! c a>sayor in charge, drawn on
the United States treasurer at
Washington city, said checks
ma y be cashed in any of the Uni
ted States sub-treasuries, or at
l., rttive United States deposi-
tary banks.
If the Alaskan shipper of gold
sends written request for cur
rency to be sent to him in AL
aska, less cost of insurance and
transportation, the assayer in
charge draws check so that it
will be cashed by one of the local
United States depositary banks,
which will send the necessary
currency at risk OF the Alaskan

La T0UCHt MEN HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE

1t is reported that two La
touche men had a narrow escape
from drowning or perishing OF
cold and starvation as result OF
the storm which swept this sec
ton of the coast recently.
1t appears that fox rancher,
J. w. Flemming had left his ISL
and in company with a native, to
take a number of foxes to the
Green island ranch, when their
little boat was caught IN a storm.
They were unable to breast the
waves and were carried out to sea.
After being at the mercy of the
elements for nearly twenty-four
hours their boat was carried by
the tide to Montague island,
where it was thrown on the beach
Aand smashed.
Flemming and his companion
were without food or a means OF
making fire, and lived on clans
and what they could find on the
beach for nearly month. In
their search along the beach they
came across the wreckage of an
other boat, from which they con-
structed a raft and when the
storm moderated they hoisted
sail and crossed to Latouche ISL
and, and reached home few days
I ago after their friends and rela-
tives had given them up as lost.
The men are reported to have
been frosted and otherwise show
that they suffered intensely from
their MISUNDERSTANDING Leader.

THE END IS NOT YET-NAYBE.

Say vou fellows who have been growing to beat inc band because you thought you had Wick. on the hip. had better haul in your horn; don't you think? The way it looks now, Sulzer Is likely to be found to have received no vote at all. From better than 300 votes in the lead few days at- ter election according to the latest report he has less than 50 votes ahead Of Wick. At the rate the votes have been dwindling down. there is no telling where Sulzer will land. Bearing that in mind. it would perhaps be better 10 swallow some of our growing before it is too late. Even Ii It Is lunlpv. By doing so we need not think that We are throwing the Senator down. On the contrary we are only getting from under an embarrassing position that is decidedly unpleasant to contem- plate.
 Of course it is always well to keep up stiff upper lip. l. is more manly. Nevertheless there is such a thing as being foolishly stubborn. But as ptiful as our situation may be. we may consid- CT ourselves fortunate that we are not occupying the position of those who voted for Wick. but when they found that Sulzer was leading and his victory appeared certain, proclaimed their admir- ation for the apparent victor. More, hundreds hundreds claimed to have voted for him. What are they going to do? Won't some one help them out of their predicament? For. they are in a deuce of fix to say the least.

GILL ON THE GRIDIRON.

To all appearances, the citizens of Seattle have put Mayor Gill on the gridiron for final roast ing. Everybody seems to be after his scalp All because he has dared to express his opinion pub Ecly: which is the trouble with most of us. We talk too much and as We are traversing an age when everybody is 'peppery," everybody is ready to make trouble. Trouble appears to be in the air: everywhere. In these troublesome days, If q community puts four-fusher at its head, the result need not surprise anyone. Gill was never anything else but four-fusher and he has shown no improvement of late His threat to pro cute some of the signers of his recall is only another four-fushers play, which is all what anybody can expect of such man.

UNAPPRECIATIyE VOTERS.

We are almost tempted to say that as whole. the voters in the First division have shown decided unapprecative spirit at the last election
 They defeated (?) Wickersham who claimed to have saved Alaska from being gobbled up by the greedy corporations and other beasts. They re- fused to elect John H. Cobb who told them that he had collected hundreds Of thousands of dol lars from the same beasts. Finally they refused to believe J. N Tanner when he told them that he alone-being in love with every man and won1- an voters-was capable of taking care of their interests in the territorial legislature.

foothold in the state and the work OF

Therefore, it is reasonable that the state
