ANCHORAGE RESIDENT
 PLEASED WITH CASPER

Billy" Peterson, an old-timer of In- .terior Alaska. who for the past three years has been engaged in freighting at Anchorage, was a passenger for the westward on the Northwestern. Mir. Peterson has just returned from a visit to the oil fields of Wyoming, and he has become so impressed with the possibilities of Casper that he intends to return to Anchorage, close out his business there, and accompanied by his family, remove to the new Wyom- ing town.
 Billy" says that Casper has become a city of 12,000 to 15,0O0 inhabitants, and that it is enjoying a veritable boom, though there is a probability of it's being overdone in a business way. EXorbitant prices are demanded for everything, and accommodations are of the most meager character Doubled up in one room with another wayfarer, Mr Peterson was compelled to pay $6 for nights lodging, which he considers rather stiff.
 MT. Peterson's family remained in Anchorage while he went on his quest of new fields.

JOE MURRAY DISCUSSES
 EIGHT-HOUR QUESTION

Joseph H. Murray, member of the house of representative from this division, has returned from a trip to Juneau, where he conferred with of ficials of the Alaska Road Commission, in the interest of the new territorial bridge at Nizina, and left this morning for his home at Mccarthy.
 While in Juneau MT. Murray appear ed before Governor Strong in the hear ing over the eight-hour law and it's workings. He said in part: "The peo- pie of my section of the country be- lieve in the eight-hour law and want it enforced We specifically deny the right of the governor, the council of national defense and the secretary of the interior to set aside or modify any of the eight-hour laws as passed and as applied to the underground workers in the mines We highly favor the eight-hour law passed by the last legislature and do not wish it set aside. At the worst it should only be modified to allow workers to put in overtime and then only in case of the gravest necessity and for the greatest good of the whole country. There is no shortage of labor in my section of Alaska, with the possible exception of possibly a few skilled mechanics above ground.
 "The law should not be suspended. It might be modified as a case of necessity, but so far I have heard no reason advanced at this hearing for even that much of a concession. If modified the order of modification should be arbitrarily worded so that the present wage scale should con- tinue as the basis of wages for eight hours and that everything over that time should be classed as overtime and paid for.''

BAD LUCK FOLLOWS
 INTERIOR DREDGE MAN

Robert Goebe1, for some years con- nected with the dredge of Riley and Marston, in the Iditarod, was in Cor dOva yesterday, on his way to the In- terior. He was a passenger on board the Northwestern, and will go by way of Seward. At the railroad terminus he will take a dog team for the balance of the trip.
 Misfortune seems to have dogged the footsteps of MT, Goebel in the i'm mediate past. Some time ago he was the victim of a serious accident on the dredge, sustaining several frac7 tured bones. He went outside after becoming convalescent, and there the bones were reset and he was an in valid for considerable period. Upon his recovery he purchased an expen- sive automobile and engaged in the transportation of passengers between Seattle and Camp Lewis. A few weeks ago an irresponsible Jap driver of an automobile going in ap opposite direc- tion at great speed collided with the machine of MT. Goebei, causing dam- age estimated at about a thousand dol lars. MT. Goebel himself escaped with a few scratches.
 The accident induced MT. Goebel to again turn his steps to the North, where there is more room, and he will resume his former position with the dredge at Iditarod.
