Valdez daily prospector., 1917-08-18

THE Anchorage Times states that
ono Of the Frame boys holds the rec
ord of SO hours for the trip between
Chitina and Fairbanks with the mail.
AS a matter of fact the record for
quick time is held by Messrs. Hill,
Erickson and Strixner, of Valdez, who
had the mail contract last season.
These gentlemen delivered the mail
to residents of Fairbanks in exactly
seven days from the time 1t left Sc
attic, with a record of SO hours and
20 minutes from Valdez, using three
cars. This is the quickest time ever
made from Seattle to Fairbanks, and
will undoubtedly be the record for
years to come. 1t has always remain
ed a mystery why the government
sends mail to the interior via Chiti-
ma, as it takes several days longer
than by Valdez, and goes over iden-
tically the same route from Willow
Creek. The road from Willow Creek
in to Valdez in the best part of the
trail, being smooth and easily ira
versed at high speed. In the old days
both winter and summer mails were
sent out of this port, even to Circle
and Nome points, and it was deliver
ed promptly and at less cost to the
government than at the present time.
The fact that the government has
called for bids again via Valdez
leads the citizens to hope that the i'm
portance of the route is being recog-
nized by the department.

WALSH WOULDN'T WAIVER

The efforts that are being made by
Representative Joseph Walsh of
Massachusetts, to exclude from the
Congressional Record matter that has
not been spoken in debate leads to
some amusing requests. The other
day a member asked Mr.. Walsh if
he would object to the publication OF
an article on the "diatomicity of ele-
mentary bodies, which is not volatile
but hypothetical" Congressman
Walsh refused to be moved by his
colleagues appeal, and the country
has been denied the privilege of read
ing the learned treatise referred to.

Many hardships are already being
brought about by war conditions
The latest is the case of Herman Mat
tern, who was adjudged bankrupt
on the 5th OF this month. Mr.. Mat
terms activities have been mostly
financed by foreign capital. At the
time the war broke out he had sew
eral large mining deals In progress
and had them financed with foreign
money. In order to hold the deals
till the capital arrived 1t was neces-
sary to involve his own resources to
a large extent. About this time the
war conditions made 1t impossible to
get mail, or even telegraph messages
through, and he was unable to Sc
cure the funds arranged for. The
proceedings grew out of
this condition. It is indeed unfor-
tunate as Mr.. Mattern is one OF Ash
lands most respected citizens and is
one of the best mining men in the
state.

Prisoner Nearly
Makes Getaway

John HeniOn, convict who had
broken from the Modesto, Cal, jail
a month ago and who was captured
at Portland, again escaped from the
Shasta Limited when 1t stopped at
Grants Pass Thursday night. Sher-
iff Davis had the prisoner in charge,
and had leg-chained him for the
night. In some manner Henion filed
the chains from his leg and escaped
from the train in his night clothing
and a blanket from his berth. He
secured pair of trousers from a man
in Grants Pass, to whom he told a
story of being robbed of his clothes
by tramps, and went ON his way.
On discovering the escape of his
prisoner Sheriff Davis notified the
chief of police at Grants Pass, who
Immediately started in pursuit, and
captured his man near the western
limits Of the city. After again cap
turing Henion, Sheriff Davis took no
chances and kept strict watch while
taking him back to California FRI
day.

be expended in the extension of the

ing year II the wire received
from Representative SinnOtt by the

Gently is any criterion. Mr.. Sinnott's

June for the klamath project are
s42S,O00. This is an increase Of
$1S4, 900 over the appropriation this

augurated by Edward B. Ashurst and
others to provide each Indian on the
reservation whose circumstances are
other than good, with ten head of
cattle and sufficient cash to provide
for their maintenance for one year.

Woodan Pipaa For Water.

In these days Of iron and cement 1t
makes one sit up to read the report
from the New England waterworks
on wood pipe for water supply. They
claim it is preserved and not rusted or
corroded by water; it Is not corroded
by any substance or destroyed by acids
or salts; its carrying capacity Is 20 per
cent greater than cast iron pipe and
remains constant, while that Of metal
pipe decreases with age; 1t does not
faint or affect fluids going through 1t;
1t does not burst If frozen, the elastici-
ty of the wood preventing it; 1t re-
quires less labor and experience to lay
in place than metal pipe; 1t can, when
service pipes are not taken of, be laid
In shallower bitches than metal pipe,
for it is not easily affected by frost;
while more or less joints show slight
leakage when the pipe is first filed,
they soon swell up and give less trou-
BILE in the end than cast iron pipe

MUNICIPAL LIGHTS
FOR SHELLEY

Now since the franchise is put to
sleep for year / think that it is
time that we start the municipal
movement. Our city fathers should
now make themselves busy and make
Shelley a proposition for his distri-
buiting system which l hope Shelley
will be liberal enough to consider.
l certainly would be in favor of Shell
ley getting the wholesale part and
always supply the town at whole
sale. If Mr.. Shelley has 800 h. p.
at the present time it should mean
an income to him at least 5000 per
month. We want improvements of
all kinds, we want street lights, we
want paved streets, why when Idaho
Falls started their municipal move
ment they only had a population of
600, today Idaho Falls owns NUM-
cipal plant that gives them 100000
income per year. We can do just as
well If we pull together 1t is simple
the question of live and let live, one
can't have it all and the rest moth
ing so let US pull together and get
busy.

ira fancy product and the prices
are in keeping with this reputa-
ton.
The quality" stamp has also
been placed on other farm pro-
ducts of this valley. Butter man.
ufactured by the Kennewick
creamery ranks with the pro-
ducts of the leading creameries
of the Northwest. And while all
good eggs are good and all bad
eggs are bad and it can hardly
be said that one fresh egg is SUI
perior to another, the Columbia
valley hen has a high standing
in the fancy city trade. This is
due to the fact that extreme care
has been exercised in the man.
ner in which eggs are prepared
for market and in several of the
nearby cities the housewife who
wants quality regardless of price
has learned to call for Kennewick
carton eggs.
In this connection the adver-
tisement of the Table Supply
company, of Spokane, which ap-
peared in the daily papers of that
city, is of interest. In advertis-
ing its Saturday special this COM
pany says, Eggs, absolutely
fresh from the Kennewick dis
trict, one of the best egg-produc-
ing points in the state of Wash
ington."
! Over i'm Walla Walla, too,
where the hens are supposed
to be "dog-goned glad to lay"
the Columbia River Valley biddie
is the queen of them all. One of
the best grocery stores which
prides itself upon its quality"
stocks and caters especially to
the best trade makes a speciality
of fresh eggs from the 'tBig-V"l
ranch at Alfalfa, for which it |
pays several cents above thel
market price in spot cash. From
all its best customers this gro
Gerry has standing orders for the
"Big-V" eggs and some of the
housewives prefer to leave their
tables eggless rather than to &C
cept a substitute.
The credit, however, is not due
so much to the industry of the
'Big-V" hens as to the industry
of E. B. Vowel, boss of the Big
v" outfit. There is no question
about the freshness of an egg
that is shipped from this farm
as no egg goes out that does not
