 Mattson pitched the game for Fair banks. but was not in his usual good form, as he famed but four Nenana men.

fourteen as originally contemplated MT. Riggs and Chairman Edes, since the latter came to the interior, have been busily engaged in preparing estimates for the coming years work to get data for the estimates having been one of the reasons for Commis- sioner Edes' visit here. The esti- mates will not be made public until they are announced by the Secretary of the Interior, according to Com missioner Riggs. The commissioner states, however, that all projects he has asked allowances for. are to be considered.
 A liberal allowance is being mad. in the estimates of the commission for terminal construction at Fair banks, according to Commissioner Riggs A sufficient allowance for the completion next year of the railroad through to Nenana is also being made. The complete rehabilitation of the Panama Valley railroad is also being considered in the estimates.
 Mr Riggs expects 10 be here until Commissioner Edes gets away for the coast, which will probably be about Friday. Commissioner Edcs and MT Christensen will go direct from here to Seward and from there to Anchorage before Chairman Edes proceeds on to Washington to make report on railroad work in Alaska and to submit data on estimates Of work that the commission thinks should be done during the coming year, to the secretary of the interior

Questioned i'll regard to the state ment purporJed to have been made b. hjm that d narrow guage track is 10 be laid between Falrbanha and Aenana, Mr. Riggs said:
 "Unln the bridge across the ran ana river at Nenana is completed the railroad between Fairbanks and Nenana may be narrow guage. We are building 1t that way in order that equipment of light weight ma! cross the ice ol the river during the winter ana on the ferries in the sumner We are however, building the grade on this end Tor standard guage track, and are using standard guage ties everywhere for construc Iion work Therefore when we get ready to change the track from mar row to standard guage all We will have to do is to move one rail which work. I think, can be accom- plished in four days time"
 Commissioner Riggs then made the statement which leads this story. His attitude throughout the interview was one of disgust; disgust with regard 10 the stories in circulation generally in connection with the intentions ot the Engineering commission as re gards Nenana, and the apparent dis satisfaction among the business peo- pie of Fairbanks.
 Referring farther to the work be ing done on this end of the rail road, Commissioners Riggs said thai at Chairman Edes' suggestion, the embankment for the road is being made sixteen feet wide instead Of

pied with it toward the close of the
century were toasts in honor of Cen
eral Washington. May his declining
years be sweetened by the domestick
tranquility in the peaceful shades of
Mount Vernon" In 1899, proved to be
rather fnfelicitous, since within six
months of the time this toast was
drunk the illustrious general was dead.
Then the Order of the Cincinnati on
the Fourth of July, 1900, drank to this:

In 1901 this was the toast: sour

nFourth of JULY In March.

Fireworks on Independence day are
denied the children and grown folks
of Alaska for the simple reason that
the July nights are almost as light as
the days, and 1t does not pay to at
tempt %pyrotechnic displays if there is
no darkness to show them of by con-
trast. Consequently it has become the
custom in many Alaskan cities, In
Guiding Fairbanks, to hold a Fourth
of July celebration on March 4 when
the nights gre still very long. Then
there is abundant opportunity for dis
playing fireworks of every variety.

tradition, every event about
it must inspire every patriot
with true homage to coun-

When Lack OF Powder
Almost Lost Us July4

~ UR Revolution, whose commence
ment we celebrate on July 4,
began and almost prematurely
ended in a struggle for powder. There
was not in the United States at that
time a powder mill which supplied
more than purely local necessities, and,
SO far as known, there was but N
small mandatory Of muskets. Unless
the colonists could obtain powder and
shot resistance was obviously out of
the question.
Two days after Lexington the Mas
sachusetts committee of safety made
an accurate estimate Of the existing
supplies In New England for its
hastily improvised army, and it re-
vealed twelve f~eldpieces, $1,000 fire.
arms, 1900 pounds Of powder and o.
900 pounds of ball. Obviously a pound
OF powder per soldier could not last
very long, and we are not surprised to
learn that a few months later Wash
ington had kegs of sand, labeled "Pow-
der rolled into camp in order to de-
lnde his soldiers into the apparent se-
curlty that there was plenty OF am
munition. On the morning Of Bunker
Hill each man of Colonel Stark's brig
ade, according to a contemporary rec
ord, received only "a gill cupful Of
powder, fifteen balls and one flint" 1t
was the failure of ammunition, 1t will
be remembered, that compelled the
colonists to retire from that glorious
defeat.
BY August, 1775, powder a almost
gone. Washington wrote that the stu
alton was terrible and he had left
only ~thirty-two barrels Of powder for
his army. The poverty of powder was
so evident that General Charles Lee
suggested to Franklin that pixies should
be manufactured, and Franklin even
gravely urged the use of bows and
arrows.

the mine was agreed upon here by rep
resentatiyes of the coal operators.
This reaction is expected to be fol
lowed by still further decreases In

the government will be given a still
lower price than that to the general
public.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will
be saved to the American people
through this decision.
It was made known that the admin

Creation of a national association of

lions and will serve as an intermediary
for information between the coal OPP

and the various state delegations went
into separate meetings to frame sug-

later to Chairman Peabody.
