BLUM TO REBUILD
 STORE AT VALDEZ

VALDEZ. - (Special.) - Meyer Blum arrived on the Alaska from a business trip to the states and has assured a representative of the Pros pector that the firm would rebuild this spring, and that work would start just as soon as the weather conditions would permit. This sets at rest a rumor that has been circulated here of late that the company had changed it's plans about erecting store build ing here to replace the handsome structure destroyed by fire last Jan uary. Blum states that the plans are not yet complete, and he is in no par ticular hurry as to this part, as work cannot commence under two months.

RIGGS MADE BIG CUT IN HIS
 SEASONS PLANS

NENANA.-( SpecialD-Al rcQm- sitions for railroad material which are not absolutely necessary in construc- ton work between Nenana and the coal fields to the south are to be can celed. There will be no larger work ing organization, if as large, than was used last summer. Those are the two mandates which have been issued from the office of Thomas Riggs, jr. member of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, at Nenana.
 It will be necessary, according to Riggs, that the commission cut every expense possible in an effort to tide itself over on the small amount of money appropriated for its uses dur ing the dying hours of the last con gress. He hopes that more money will be made available at an early date by the special session of con- gress.
 Riggs was notified in an official wire of the passage of the special ap- proprfation measure, carrying with it the sum of $8,OOO,OOO with which to carry on construction work on the AL aska railroad when the main appro- priation was blocked. The message was merely matter of information, as it said nothing regarding how much of the $3,OOO,OOO will be made available for construction work on the interior end of the railroad.
 It is thought probable that what lit tie of the fund the interior will get will be spent between Nenana and the coal fields to the south. For it is ab- solutely necessary that Nenana and the coal fields be connected during the coming summer if such thing is pos sible. After that the matter of con- struction work between Fairbanks and Nenana will be taken up.
 Commissioner Riggs is feeling very blue over the entire matter. He had made plans to do a large amount of work during the coming summer, but as things now are, he is "up in the air." so to speak.
 AS a consequence of the smallness of the appropriation, it will be neces-

MAY COIN ALL
 MEXICAN MONEY
 AT J. s. MINT

PHILADELPHIA, March l5.- Financial agents of the Mexican gov ernment, it was learned here today, have made inquiry at the Philadelphia mint regarding prices and facilities for minting Mexican gold coins. Within the last ten days a representa- tive of Stallforth & Co.,, New York bankers, asked the price per 1000 pieces for coining cinco pesos, five dollar gold pieces. He was told the mint could manufacture them at the rate of 6O,OOO pieces a week. The price was not made public.
 Authority to do the work must come from the director of the mint at Washington. It was said at the mint that unofficial information had reach ed there that master dies, made at the Philadelphia mint for the Mexican government 10 years ago, are on their way here.
 It was reported that Rafael Nieto, of the Mexican treasury, is bringing 20,0Oo,OOO in gold bars here, but nothing was known of this at the mint.

sary that the working organization of the commission in the interior be held down to the minimum. There will, therefore be no larger organization than last year.
 1t will also be necessary to crA down on acquisitions. Most of the working material ordered will be brought in as contemplated, as will supplies, but the acquisitions for ac- tual construction material will prac- tically all be cancelled, as far as this summer is concerned.

The committee on military affairs
of the Board of Trade strongly IA
vors grouping all Washington men of

The committee will recommend to
the Board of Trade that the RESPONSE
bility Of looking after the needs Of
the drafted men from the city be- as-
sumed by the military auxiliary, and
that a systematic effort be made in
cooperation with the War Depart

see that their families are informed
and cared for, should they need as
sistance.
The committee has taken over the
