LATE DO|NCS
 IN TOLOVANA

Andy Harstad, who is a recent arrival in Fairbanks from the Tolo- vana country. brings a late report of doings there. Among other things he says that when he left the new camp there was less than one-half sluiCehead of water running in Ii vengood creek. However. it is re ported to have rained there on Thurs day and Friday. and it is therefore probable that the miners now have better supply of water for sluic- ing purposes.
 Mir Harstad was until recently interested in the Toloyana lumber nil. Just prior to starting to Fair banks he sold out his interests to Dave Cascaden. He is planning 70 go to the coast in the near future. probably on the Sheldon automobile this afternoon.
 The Brooks tramway is now com pleted to within three and one-half miles of the town of Brooks. And a good road has been constructed from the end of the tram into town making it less difficult to get freight up to the mining district from the head of navigation

OUR INSU RANCE.

The efforts of the Fairbanks Com mercial club to have the insurance rates of the city of Fairbanks cut down Is only another demonstration of the good that the commercial organization is trying to do for the town That the efforts of the eXecu- tive board of the club availed them or Fairbanks nothing, is not the fault of the board. for the telegrams exchanged with the board of under writers at San Francisco is demon strative ot the fact that they tried to say the least. And that the board will keep on trying is evident The story of the refusal of the board of underwriters to lower the insur- anCe rates of Fairbanks is told in another column in this issue and in the printed telegram the reasons for the refusal are stated
 But to us the reasons set forth seem entirely inadequate. For while We are satisfied that the representa- tiyes of the insurance companies who have visited Fairbanks in the past know great deal about what constitutes adequate fire protection We are also satisfied that the fire protection of Fairbanks is much bet ter than that afforded by other towns on the Outside built as is Fair banks almost entirely of wood
 In fact, the efficiency of the Fair banks fire department has been dem, Onstrated in more cases than one therefore the board of underwriters could have no kick about that. For on practically every occasion whCu their notification was timely the fire department has succeeded in putting out the blaze before it gained much headway, and the consequent losses to the insurance companies have been correspondingly small, And nobody can say that the water plant is not adequate for all uses of the fire de partment, although the wire from the board of underwriters states that the hydrants are too far apart and insufficient. But anybody who looks can readily see that on the main business streets of Fairbanks there is a hydrant at the end of each block therefore the business sec tion of town, the one most taken into consideration when a reduction of rates was asked, is adequately protected in that regard
 Considering the amount of money which has been paid to them in pre- miums in the past, all of the insur- ance companies doing business in Fairbanks are great gathers. even after their losses are paid. Of course, that is their aim and in- tent in being in business, and no body begrudges them that
 But it would seem that they could be taught to realize that they would do approximately twice the amount Of business they now do with low cred rates. For there are now many Fairbanks merchants who carry no insurance whatever, on account of the excessive rates. There are oth- CTS who carry only enough to par tially pay them for their losses if they should burn out, in which event their insurance money would be a nest egg for another business ven

ELEVEN CREWS
 ARE WORKING ON
 TRAIL ID COAST
ABOUT 250 MEN ARE NOW EN-. PLOYED TRAIL BUILDING
 IN THE INTERIOR.

All told. there are now II crews of men working for the road com mission between Fairbanks and Val dcz. including one crew which is cutoff between W illow creek and fEitina Three Ol the crews are working on this end of the line or between Fairbanks and Richardson Taking all of the crews into con sideration there are about 250 men in the employ of the commission on the work between Fairbanks and coast points Each of the eight crews working beyond Richardson is composed of about 25 men, while there are about 50 men employed on this end of the trail
 The third crew of men who will work on this end of the line left Fairbanks yesterday. Their destina- ton is Richardson. The crew num- bers 10 men and is in charge of Dan Sheedy. Abe McKinnon has about 25 men working between Fair banks and the 18-mile house, while John JOslin is in charge of the crew of between 15 and 20 men who are working near Richardson There are between 40 ana 50 horses dis tributed among the three road camps on this end of the line. They are being used in grading and trans portation work. all of the road crews being well equipped with graders and scrapers.
 On the coast end of the trail or on the cutoff near lower Tonsina. the road commission is trying an experiment. That is, an experiment is to be tried, for the two and one halfton gravel truck ordered from the Outside for road graveling pur- poses has not yet arrived there, but should now be on it's way from Seattle to Valdez.
 The truck will hold approximately two and one-half cubic yards of gravel and is self-dumping affair It's rear wheels are If inches in width and the wheels act as rollers on all gravel already placed. Should the experiment prove to be success ful, the commission will probably put on more of the machines, extend ing them all along the line for graveling purposes, according to the statement of the engineer officer of the commission, Capt. Joseph Me haffey.
 Col. Wilds P. Richardson, head of the commission announces that in all probability he will inaugurate a new system of working on the trail in the near future or as soon as the present summers work on the trail is finished The idea is to appoint a section man for every 50 miles of trail and require him to keep it in good condition. The sys- tenn has been tried in southeastern Alaska by the road commission and has proved to be very beneficial to the trail, as the road bosses vie with each other in keeping up their re spective sections of trail in order that there may be no kicking from those who travel over 1t.
