THE ROADBU|LD|NC TROUBLES IN ALASKA

The board of road commissioners for Alaska has been building roads in that territory since 1905. Up to July 1, 1916, it built 920 miles of wagon roads, 629 miles of winter sled roads and 2,210 miles of traiis Of late there has been some criticism of this roadbuilding, indicated as follows in the last annual report of the board:
 Alaska abounds in mineral weath, fish and road commission critics" One cause of the criticism is the poor condition of some of the roads, which is explained in the report iii detail. None of tho roads built by the board was constructed for automobile traffic and the board does not en- courage the use of automobiles on them, but there were nevertheless over 25O trucks and passenger cars in use at the close of the last fiscal year and regular motor mail and pass enger service was maintained between Valdez and Fairbanks during the sum- mer. Much damage has been done to the roads by the use of heavy mar rowtired trucks the board says; re- gently graded roads which would be satisfactory for light traffic are plowed up by trucks before surfacing is completed and expensive repairs are thus necessary before the road con-

W|LKY'S DEPUTIES
 SORE AT TIN STAR

Sheriff Wilky thought he was facing a mutiny in his office and for the first time since he assumed it, he was scared. He was in his private office the other day when deputy from the other side of the hallway called on him and in a low and serious voice, told him he had better come across and see the boys: They're as sore as the devil about something'
 What have they got to be sore Sbout?" asked the sheriff; haven't they all got their jobs?"
 Well, you'd better come and have a talk with them or they'll walk out on you" advised the deputy.
 The sheriff entered and looked from one to another inquiringly. Then the spokesman told why they were sore" We've got tired" said he, seeing you go around here with that tin star on and we've decided not to stand for it any longer" He took from his pocket a handsome gold badge, properly in scribed and presented it to the sheriff who took it and looked at it as if he had never seen anything like it before, and did not know of what use it could be.
 He was unable to frame a remark until Deputy Joe Balsz broke the ice by taking the badge from the sheriff and pinned it on his vest

UNRULY AUTO GOES
 INTO HYDER WINDOW

This was a real joy ride. but I didn't mean to do it. It is the most expensive short trip I have ever taken" said Attorney Herman Lew kowitZ after he had made the un- fortunate mistake of going into low instead of reverse and sending his automobile crashing through the win dows of Hyders store.
 IL occurred as LewEowitZ was at tempting to hack away from the curb. He was more familiar with the stand ard gear shift. and instead of setting his gears in reverse, got into low The result was that when he let in the clutch and stepped on the ac- eelcrator the car jumped the curb and smashed into the plate glass display windows of the well known haber- dashery shop.
 The damage will he adjusted. Lew kowitz hunted up Hyder,> told him to have the glass replaced, the signs painted and send ir the bill. Hyder was so surprised at the prompt offer 10 pay ali costs that ha quickly agreed to stand part of the loss, and an in- cident that might have had serious complications was happily closed.

struction is finished and maintenance

struction is finished and maintenance begins. An instance illustrating the conditions is furnished by the follow ing extract from the report of the boards superintendent at Nome: This road for 500 feet was destroyed by being worked out by the (Blank) Mining & Dredge Co. The district attorney would not give us protect ten and 1 had the piece of road re- built Inside of two weeks after it was reconstructed they destroyed it again." These traffic conditions make the roadbuilders' work difficult enough in themselves. but in addition there are the troubles of construction where the local conditions are far from rsmparable with those of the states. For example, last summer it became necessary to build a road five miles long along hillside. and at one point the operations of a hydraulic mining company showed that the material underlying the location consisted of 6 feet of gravel on the bed rock, 40 feet of clear ice on the gravel. and feet of moss and tundra on top. The only practicable construction for this locality was to cover the roadbed with willow corduroy and surface the corduroy with gravel.

NJ DANGER + yOU
 DON'T FALL OFF''

Major Powell, Captain Dutton, G. Wharton James, F. s. Dellenbaugh and many others, some of whom have passed to their reward, have written wonderful illuminating and descrip- tive works upon the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, but it remained for Jno. T. McCutcheon in his inimitable way to draw a most amusing picture of visitors to the Grand Canyon holding on to shrubbery and crawling forward on their hands and knees while en- deavoring to get a glimpse into the wonderful depths of that gash in the earth's surface while the daredevil guide stands at the brink pointing down into the depths. with a careless ness that makes one almost shudder. The guide has no doubt been answer ing the ordinary run of questions us- ually asked by visitors, ie., What makes the stone so red ?" How old is the Canyon?' Who discovered it?" Was anyone ever killed or the trail?" to each of which an answer of the most satisfying sort is always ready And what wonderful control he has over the flock of COW ponies and mules that follow him with the guests of the day from the four quarters of the
 
 an uncomfortable way of walking to the brink every once in while, stick ing his head over, with the apparent decision of going right on over, but with later due deliberation, will turn and follow the little procession, all of which furnishes food for an excellent narrative when the visitor returns home. Have you ever visited the canyon, which is now so easily reached from Williams, Arizona, where a keen observer of human nature will find so much of interest besides the gorgeous tints and hues to be seen in the Canyon.
 Regarding the trip down the trail McCutcheon says: The real excite ment of a trip to the Canyon lies in the ride down one of the trails to the river, a mile below the rim. Most peo- pie go down by the Bright Angel Trail, which leads directly down from the Hotel Fl TOvar. and on which the round trip may be done in about eight hours. The motive power is mule back reinforced by a small switch which seems to have little persuasive effect, but imparts a sportylike jaunti- ness to the rider"
 Of course, each visitor is equipped
  era without which the trip would be far from complete.
 What a wonderful movie picture would be the result of a collection of the many pictures taken by the scores of thousands who have visited the Canyon in the past years.
 A most interesting and instructive picture lecture is that produced by the Kolb Brothers, the first white men to make a successful trip down the 217 miles of canyon with securing of pie lures in view then came the wonder full presentation, The Great Divide that furnished thrills for the movie loving patrons. ''The Great Divide was thought to be last word in moving picture making, short time ago, but now we are to be favored further with a wonderful production said to be many times more thrilling in "The Gods Crucible,v January 18th and 29th at the Columbia-and regarding which the Los Angeles papers have been making some very elaborate state ments.-Adv.

CAPITAL HOUSEWIVES
LEAD NATION IN SAVING

Washington housewives are more
economical in their handling OF food
stuffs as a result OF the food-saving
campaign. An inventory Of the gar
bags pail shows this, according to
statistics presented by the Food Ad-
ministration-
In July OF this year there was a re-
duction OF IA per cent in the total of
the community pail, as compared
with July OF last year, These figures,
however, make no allowance for the
vast increase in the population OF
as a result OF the war.
Food Administration figures show a
great reduction in the quantity Of
garbage waste from forty-seven
cities. Only twelve cities showed an
increase, and the total saving in gar
bage waste for the entire country
ranged between IS and 43 per cent.
