Small Bridges Out

The bridges across the arroyo on
the mesa below Carbon Junstion
were badly damaged as were two or
three small bridges south of Durango
and west of the Animas.
Reports have been given out that
considerable damage has been done to
the country roads in places, but so
far there has been no report Of any
large bridges going out or serious
damage in any one place. However,
the rushing waters coming down the
mountain sides and going down the
arroyas did more OF less damage to
the highway traffic.
The road officials had men out at
work today and the road traffic will
soon be normal.
Owing to the suspension of traffic
information concerning some of the
roads was not available.
The hard rain which lasted for
about an hour was practically over
by seven o'clock. The streets were
well filled with water and some little
Inconvenience was experienced in

FORT LEWIS SCHOOL NOTES

Fort Lexis has had = number os
visitors daring the past week. Mr..
and Mrs. A. b. SHELTON of Shiprock,
N. NJ, arrived Wednesday for a visit
with their daughter Arlene, who is
a student at Fort Lewis. They were
accompanied by Miss Smith one of
the teachers at Shiprock. They drove
up by way of La Plata, N. NJ, and
left for home Saturday morning.
During the latter part of the week
Miss Grace Buitner and Joe Winners
of Bayfield, together with Victor
Tucker of Fort Collins, were visitors
at the school. The two boys afe
students at the State Agricultural
College at Fort Collins, and members
of the battery of field artillery which
was organized there and rs stationed
at Golden at present. They came
over the range via Ford, and left
Monday for the return trip by train,
to rejoin their company.
The meeting of the Campus Club,
on Wednesday evening was something
of departure from the usual style,
as it met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs Hawkins on the Fort Lewis
mesa, the Club being the guest of
Walter Hawkins, assisted by his sis
ter, Gladys, and Miss Mabel Simpson
The Ford route was chosen and all
arrived safely at the destination.
After singing old, familiar songs for
a time, the meeting was called to
order and a talk given by Mr.. Kline
felter on a trip to the two Expositions
held in California last year. This was
followed by review of recent hap
penings by Mr.. Bader, after which

Carbon Road Firm
Altho this vicinity experienced one
of the heaviest rains in years and
considerable inconvenience was ex-
perienced by many it was happy
surprise to learn that but little dam
age had been done to the new Carbon
road, which, according to reports cir
culated in the city early this morning,
had been badly damaged.
Many made trips down that way
this morning expecting to find the
road in bad condition when to their
surprise they found the road bed in
place and no particular damage done
in any way excepting that in places
the water had washed debris down on
the road bed. Autos went down to
the last fill. Just beyond this is
where the debris was in the road. An
auto tried to get thru but found it
hard shedding and backed out. The
teamsters went thru but it will re-
quire some little shoveling before
the road will be in first class condi-
ton for auto traffic. The auto that
came up the road was from Ignacio.
1t was reported that a big fill had
washed out and the material carried
down upon the railroad track below,
but this was mistake. Mud in sew
eral places had been washed over
the track, but that was cleared off
early in the morning. No serious
damage was done to either the Carbon
road OF the railroad track below it.
This is good news, since there were
some who claimed it was mistake
to build the Carbon road and that
it would always be an expense to the
county.

TWO YEARS SHOW
 CITY REGISTERING
MAGAZINE WRITER FINDS KET- CHIkAN ENJOYING FRUITS OF
 ITS FAITH.

"Ketchikan isn't the town today that it was two years ago when l was here last" declared Emil Edward Hurja, staff correspondent of Busi- ness Chronicle, of Seattle, and The Mining and Scientific Press, of San Francisco, today, after a study last ing four days of business conditions here. The city is the most prosper ous I have ever known it. Every branch of business appears to be en- toying the fruit of faith ,n Ketchikan
 With nearly three hundred men em- ployed in mining ventures, it seems that the future of the district from the mining standpoint is but a mat ter of time The district has not been given tte attention it has merited There are flattering prospects here that require but a little interest from financial men before they would be paying their own way.
 "One thing that occurs to me-" con tinued MT. Hurja, lis the attitude of the prospector. It doesn't pay the prospector, in the long run, to set too high valuation on a mere surface showing for after all surface show ings doea-'t Ike mines. It takes money to oeye4op mines, more money in Ketchilan than some oher Alaskan district because many of the deposits here are of low grade though large And if the prospectors, too anxious for money, keep off investors by boost ing the price of their properties, it is their fault that the development of the district is hampered and retard- ed"
 Mir. Hurja leaves tomorrow for Had ley to visit N. W. Sweetser, superint- endent of the Mamie mine Monday he will go to Sulzer to see the Jumbo mine and from there he will go to Wrangell, resuming his tour of the coast.

A letter received this morning from Juneau, indicates trouble at the capi- tai city.
 The letter says that times are quiet and that while the papers have thus far refrained from making public the fact that the miners at the Thane mine were on strike, the truth need not be disguised any longer. Furth- ermore, the end is not yet, according to the same authority, as the present strike is expected to be followed by more of the same kind of trouble, and possibly in the near future.
 The city is said to be crowded with men looking for work, and they still keep coming in, and that most of them are "broke."

AMOUNT EXCEEDS
 ALL EXPECTATIONS

The sum of $115 was placed in the local bank this afternoon by MT. and Mrs. Bosworth, to the credit of Mrs. Alfred Boots The amount is the receipts of the two nights devoted by them to the benefit fund to which all Ketchikan people so generously con tributed. Too much cannot be said in praise of all who thus helped to alleviate the troubles of worthy family
 The children worked like heroes and no one could refuse them, so earnest were they to sell as many tickets as possible, and many were reached by them who otherwise could not have helped at all. The little folks did nobly and everybody loves them for their unselfish work.
 Of Mr and Mrs. Bosworth, who have made it possible and easy on the part of the public, to realize this handsome sum, it can be truthfully said, that they are citizens of whom Ketchizan may well be proud. In providing a good show and in donat- ing the Grand theatre for the two nights, it meant many dollars, which they cheerfully put in this relief fund.
 Aside from the $115 cash, about $S in groceries were also donated to Mrs. Boots, who is in tears for very grati- tude of all this kindness to her and her children.
