Maryland Congressman viii

Capital and Winthrop.
WILL BE PART OF SYSTEM
War Department and Army and
Navy Experts Said to Be
Behind Movement.

A bill for the construction Of a mill
tary defense road, connecting Wash
ington and Winthrop, Nd, is expected
to be introduced in the House in the
near future by Congressman Sydney
E. Mudd. The road will be one i'm n
system of national defense roads,
which are expected to form a circle,
with Washington as the center, and
which will extend along the shores
of Chesapeake bay and the Potomac
river, according to plans of pro-
moters.
The Winthrop-Indian Head-wash-
ington Military Highway Association,
an organization composed of more
than 1000 representative citizens in
southern Maryland who would be
benefited either directly or indirectly
by the construction of such a high
way. is behind the propaganda for the
highway construction.
Approved by Experts.
Theodore F. Menk, chairman of the
organization, stated today that not
only has the road the Endorsement of
every Maryland member of the States
contingent in Congress, but it also
has the appreciation OF military ex-
perts in the War Department and
those stationed at the three forts
which will be connected by the build
ing of the road.
1t is proposed to have the road
pass through Anacostia, Congress
Heights, Fort Foote, Fort washing
ton, and other Maryland towns.
1t was pointed out, the only way
which approaches the comfortable, of
reaching these forts. or these river
towns at present, is by the river, or
over badly constructed, badly kept
county roads.

SCARCITY OF
 LABOR IN THE
 ISLAND TOWNS

DOUGLAS, June 12-Never in the history of the Island, according to old timers, has labor been so scarce as at present, it being practically impos- sible to hire an odd job man, to say nothing of getting steady men. Many men have left here during the past few weeks for the westward and al ready letters are coming back advis- ing those still here to remain; that everything is overdone in the western camps and towns where there are several applicants for every job.
 There is a steady demand for men at the Ready Bullion mine as well as for many other good and permanent positions and those who bury their wanderlust and buckle down to jobs now beckoning to them will be bet
 ter off by the time the bowling Ia
 ku winds are astir than are those will-o the wisp chasers to whom dis tant fields invariably look green There is no place in Alaska where the ghost" walks with more regular ity than along the shores of Gas i tineau channel and this fact is being realized by many who lately essayed i to better their conditions elsewhere

ANDREWS MAKES A
 TRIP GREAT SPOT
 ON ALASKAN COAST

DOUGLAS, June 12.-Photographe Ed Andrews returned Saturday from Glacier Bay, where he spent over a week in what is probably the least explored and most majestic of all the Alaskan coast. MT. Andrews was ta- ken on the trip by Chas. Helfers, prospector and fisherman, in the lat ter's launch Eloise and was absent from Douglas eleven days.
 Although there was a little rain every day, MT. Andrews was in the mammouth glacier field, he secured several dozen pictures not only of the famous Muir Glacier, but of others almost as grand and as formidable as that which thousands have visited
 in the past score or more years.
 MT Andrews says Glacier Bay is so full of floating ice that small boat must pick it's way between and around the floating bergs. many of the latter protruding as high as 30 feet above the water. He estimates that the Muir glacier has receded fully twelve miles in the past IS years as it's edge is now back that distance from where the famous scientist built house 30 years ago and in which he lived while studying the great phenomenon. While the Muir house has fallen to pieces the foundation is still there as well as the chimney which was built of rocks which were cemented together The falling off of ice from the Muir glac- mountainous rocks separating the portions. Parts of the front of the glacier are dead and have ceased sloughing off into the water. MT. Andrews managed to secure pictures of the Muir and other glaciers from many different angles and when the pictures are completed, they will form a most valuable and interesting set.
 Owing to the cold and general desolation of that section, MT. An drews says there is no game there, but, strange to relate. the barren and rocky shores lately barred by the glaciers sliding off them. are the nesting place of myriads or sea gulls. He brought back with him several gull eggs, which are fully twice as large as common hen eggs. At the time Andrews and Helfers were there not less than five canoeloads of In dians were there gathering gull eggs which they sell to Indians employed at canneries, and sometimes to the whites, at cents each The photo grapher sampled the gull eggs and they are not unpalatable but wholly different in flavor from hen eggs.
 Glacier Bay. which is 50 miles long, is so full of icebergs that it is no longer safe for excursion steamers to enter 1t and for that reason Muir glacier Is no longer features by the

ing wonder of Alaska Previous to the series of severe earthquakes in 1899, which all old timers distinctly remember, Glacier Bay was visited by nearly all the excursion steamers but since the earthquakes dislodged so much ice which has since been constantly followed by massive piec- es hundreds of feet square. it is not safe for steamers to venture in that locality and for that reason few tour ists of the present day are permit ted to see the most spectacular seen cry on the American continent
