LET US MOBILIZE.

The other evening handful-comparative speaking-of patriotic citizens assembled at the Council Chamber for the purpose of devising ways and means to celebrate our national holiday the coming Fourth of July, less than month hence How many attended? Never mind how many. suffice it to say that only few were there But that is not unusual Every year is the same and not only here, but everywhere in Alaska Only a few; precious few ever do their share in sueh occasion, although We all want to be amused We all want to appear patriotic and all that vet t seems as though the spirit of our younger days has gone hunting or something because it isn't here
 In these troublesome days: not only to show patriotism but also to help to drive away our cares for day at least we could or should mob 3lize al onr resources to make great day of the coming Fourth. Mobilization in this case means the concentration of our energy and patriotism and together put our shoulders to the wheel, give t 9 whirl and not let the 'other fellow do it alone. The same men who amused us last year claim no mortgage on the privilege If they have appeared as leaders in former years it was because the rest of Us remained passive and some ones had to furnish the amusement Let us see what can do this year.

CASEY AT THE BAT.

Casey. chief deputy clerk in the marshals office at Juneau has the reputation of being flor ward in many things. particularly in his official capacity, In his "writeup" about the attempted iail break here few days ago, he evidently wanted to show what he knew about it. although he hed been told to keep his mouth shut until the work Of catching the outside help had been ac- conpljshed.

Anyhow, Ketchikan does not have to import people from the states to add dignity to the oc- casion of placing the corner stone of any public building, because Ketchikan has dignity aplenty. In that respect Juneau, the capital city of Alaska just think of it--had to import dignity" in order to befittingly celebrate the occasion, This lack of dignity at the capital city may be due to the fact that the democratic machine makes it's headquarters there, you never can tell; or it may be that the Taku wind has blown all the dignity out of the city. However, they apparently hadn't enough dignity for the occasion. In Ketchikan. our council and school board have dignity to burn.

RA|LRORO WORK
MOVES RAPIDLY
TOWARD Ignite

Despite the inclement weather con-
Gu.tns prevalen; during The pat
week, work along the right of way,
to the south of Nenana has progress
ed steadily. Bridg IS has now been
crossed and steel laid for distance
of about half a mile beyond that
point. From this bridge to the bank
of Lost slough, at 20-Mile, the dis
lance to be traversed is only about
three miles, with only one four-bent
trestle to be crossed, and the work
Of laying track over this section is
expected to be finished in very
short time.
The new piledriver, kown as Pile
driver No. 4, and which was recent
| ly constructed at Nenana and mount
ed on fiat car, will probably be
used to drive the necessary piles
across Lost slough, from the Nenana
end of the grade.
According to the present plans of
the Commission, a 1300-foot trestle
will carry the steel across Lost
slough, and the work of driving the
piles from the Camp 9 (2O-Mile) end
of the grade, which was taken in
hand late last summer, as soon as
flood conditions made it possible,
is progressing rapidly and about 750
feet of it has already been completed
With a piledriver working from each
end of the grade, the work is eX-
pected to be completed and track
carried across in a very short time.
The piles are now being driven on
an island formed by the action of
the flood of last summer. A big
drift pile right ahead and in the path
of the piledriver is being removed
by means of blasting, the work being
done by a force of men under Fore
man Jack Kinally.
Beyond the farther bank of Lost
slough and to within about a mile
Of Residency (35-Mile Camp the
grade, which is composed almost en-
tirely of gravel, is completed, and
ties have been distributed along this
grade in readiness for the steel gang
to continue their work as soon as
Lost slough has been crossed.
1t is almost certain that train
service to Residency 8, at 35-Mile,
will be established by Christmas,
and picnics and sightseeing to that
section of the district are among
the possibilities during the present
winter. 49,.

SPOKANE NOT IN
DANGER; MAY Be

VICTORIA, NOV. 24-The British
Columbia Salvage company has been
notified that the steamship Spokane,
which ran aground during the week
midway between Ketchikan and Sc
attic, is not in dangerous position

a couple of days. The Vancouver
Dredging company has sent an out
fit of gear to the wreck and the
work of floating the vessel is now in
progress.
When the Spokane struck, a piano
player, enroute from Anchorage,
rushed to the piano in the ships
cabin and averted a panic among
the passengers by playing quieting
airs. He soon had the frightened
singing Notwithstanding the fact
that water was pouring into the hold
of the vessel at an alarming rate.
