JUNEAU CONTRACTORS
 WOULD BUILD BOATS

JUNEAU.-Alaska wants to join the rest of the Pacific coast in the work of building boats. One Juneau firm, the Alaska Drydock and Manu- featuring company, has asked the Territorial Council of Defense to help it get contracts for the con- struction of one or more govern ment coast survey boats which are to be built for the department of commerce. =.=
 Secretary William c. Redfield, in letter sent recently to Thos. Riggs, Jr., governor of Alaska, said soma of the survey boats would be built in Alaska if there were any ship yards in the territory prepared to do the work. The company advised the council that it was prepared to build vessels of l1O feet in length or smaller.

WIRELESS IN WAR

The efficiency of the Allied wireless telegraphy has been enor- mously increased during the war, semi-official statement issued by the Rooyal Air Force says. In par ticular, great progress has been made in sending wireless messages from aircraft
 In 1914, various difficulties re- stricted the use of wireless in con- junction with airplanes. Most of these have been overcome and the use of wireless communications from the air has been of great assistance to the Allied forces in all military operations.
 Without the assistance of wire less the use of airplanes could never have been developed so fully as it now is. Artillery observation" by airplane is among the most profit able of all the uses of aircraft.
 Far below in the batteries the wireless operators received the cor rections from the airplane, until the signal comes to indicate that the right range has been found and, later, the ''cease fire" signal to indi- cate that destruction has been ac- complished.
 The extended range of aircraft wireless leads to it's use from air planes on long reconaissances, and the operator in the hut on the aero drome, miles behind the lines, is the first to learn, perhaps Of a new German howitzer emplacement per haps of the massing of troops in tended to effect a surprise-a vain hope, thanks to the wireless.

LAUNCH SUNBEAM !,
 sA BACK IN NENANA

The Alaskan Engineering commis- sion's fast launch Sunbeam which had been placed at the disposal of Resident Engineer Hawley W. Ster- ling immediately after the news of the disaster to the launch Flyer became known locally, returned to Nenana on Saturday evening and will be hauled out and placed in winter quarters immediately
 William Sherwin, who is in charge of the Sunbearm. stated that owing to the growing amount of ice run ming in the river and the near ap- proach of winter, the several boats with the searchers have dispersed. A very thorough search has been made over wide radius and there have been no results further than those chronicled before, viz: the finding of the body of Mrs. Craig, some life preservers and few pieces of wreckage.
 Thus another shocking river acci- dent remains shrouded in mystery, the solving of which is problematical.

BEHIND THE LINES

CHSuiCCAo diC u0- ing more constructive work in France today than was ever done on the Panama canal, stupendous as the engineering project was, and more also than was ever done in a day on all the river and harbor work of the United States. This comparison gives some idea of the magnitude of the army construc- tion now going on in Europe, exceed ing the most gigantic operations ever undertaken at home.
 The Panama construction force was 10000 men; in France it is a good sized army in itself. It in- cludes engineer troops and laborers of all kinds for the constructive work and foresters for furnishing the material of construction, cutting down forests, running sawmills, sup plying timber and lumber.
 The call for material is so tre- mendous, writes an Associated Press correspondent, that the forestry force will have to be increased be- fore long. Already it is running seventy sawmills, and 200 more are required to keep up with the con struction. With this increase, the engineering force engaged on con- struction will reach more than twice as many as were employed on the Panama canal, the largest previous constructive work the United States ever undertook
 Travelling across France from the Seacoast, one sees the magnitude of this American constructive work at every hand, from the ten miles of new docks and piers at the ports, then the American railway, tele- graph and telephone lines, vast areas of warehouses, shops and factories, and finally the great stretches of military camps and barracks for this army of two million troops. But while one sees this work ir immense detached parts, it is only at army headquarters that details are available on the magnitude of the work as whole.
 On the one item of timber and lumber for this construction, the army foresters are called on to fur nish nearly 500 million board feet of timber of which about 300 mil lion feet is sawed lumber This 300 million feet is no rough guess work, but is the estimate of re- quirements carefully worked out by the engineers. The precise total of these estimates is ASA, ,792. .0OO feet or over 96,000 miles of lumber
 This lumber is required to build docks, barracks, for trench timber ing, railway construction, building barges, warehouses, hospitals, rail way cars, and for telegraph and telephone poles. This with the pro- vision for firewood makes the huge total of nearly 500 million feet, which the engineering foresters must supply for this constructive work. It is this which will increase the

ADVISORY BOARD MET SATURDAY ID
 DISCUSS AFFAIRS

The Advisory Board met at the townsite office Saturday night, for the discussion of townsite matters.
 The question of having watch man on during the winter was taken up. The townsite manager stated that the duties assigned to the act ing fire chief made it impossible for him to be on at night as watchman; and that these day services would increase, rather than diminish, as the winter progressed.
 The duties mentioned will con- sist of daily inspection of the water system, testing hydrants and exam ming the electric lights in the hydrant boxes, as well as weekly inspection of flues in the fire dis trict and monthly inspection in the residence districts.
 Such duties as the above could not be performed at night. And as matter of fact the acting fire chief is on duty all the time, as are an of the men employed by the townsite At present there are five men who sleep in the townsite build ing, ready to answer fire call.
 It is true that in the latter part of the night, when few are around the streets, it would be desirable to have a watchman out with the presumption that in case of fire an alarm would be given quickly But as a choice between having 8 man on day or night, there can be no doubt that it is essential to have man on during the day. The finances of the townsite will not stand day and night service.
 It was decided to let the matter rest as it is for the present
 The three members of the Ad- visory Board present at the meeting, who were the only ones in town at present, constituted themselves committee to have the numerous collections of old boxes, bottles and general trash which has collected along "A" and Market street alleys in the business section, cleaned out for sanitary reasons and fire pro- tection.
 From a business point of view alone, the condition in this district should be changed. It will cost each property owner but very little to clean up the premises for which he is responsible, and it is good business to do so. A business house can hardly expect to escape criticism or to increase it's trade by sur rounding itself with set of en- tanglements.
 The townsite manager requests the business men and others Q cooperate with the Advisory Board in this matter, and not make 1t necessary to invoke the fire regu- lations for the improvement men tioned.
 Buildings in this district are no1 all properly supplieIl with inc lad ders; and some of those which have them do not have them safe, with proper braces. This matter will ne looked into also.

LAUNCHES FIND |CE IOO HEAVY;;
 ABANDON RIVER

Yesterday afternoon the launch Ram, owned and operated by George Hainzinger, returned to port towing the launch Victory, and they will go into winter quarters in Nenana. The Fairbanks mail which was on board the Victory was landed and returned to the postoffice. It will be sent with the first mail over the trail. The launch Eclipse, which also left Nenana for Fairbanks, shortly after the Victory and the Ram, was on her way up river when last seen by the returning launches. Both Douse and Hainzinger think, that owing to the very heavy run of ice, she will be compelled to winter at "Eat-em-up" Franks.
 The Victory left Nenana at eight o'clock on Saturday, morning with the mail bound for Fairbanks. She had no passengers, and although there was some slush ice running at the time, no great difficulty from this cause was anticipated. About an hour afterwards the Ram got under way upbound, with George Hainzinger at the wheel, on the last leg of his long journey from the mouth of the Yukon river. He was followed by George Black on the gasoline sternwheeler Eclipse, who was also making for winter quart CTS at Fairbanks after having de- livered a 15-ton cargo of meat and provisions for the Alaskan Engin- eering commission.
 When George Hainzinger, on the Noii' was dDoul 1lNe WlleS dUONe Nenana, he met Douse, on the Vic tory, down bound, and on inquiry learned that the Victory's pump could not be worked by reason of the fact that the intake at the side of the boat below water level had become clogged up with ice, and as Douse was anxious to get to Fairbanks with the mail, the Ram took the Victory in tow and started upstream.
 By this time the Eclipse, with Black on board, hove in sight about mile astern and remained in sight until about 2 p. m, when the Ram and her tow reached the old tele- graph station about 17 miles above Nenana, where they decided to camp for the night
 The Eclipse put in at the tele- graph station shortly afterwards; she had Vim. Hartwig and couple of natives on board; but Black did not tarry here long. He wanted to take advantage of the bright moonlight and clear weather and make "Eat-em-up" Franks place for the night, and so resumed his up river journey.
 Morning found the Ram and Vic tory froze in, with a very large quantity of slush ice running in the river, making navigation slow, diff cult and dangerous. The risk of continuing the journey was too great and therefore it was decided to re- turn to Nenana. The boats were accordingly cut clear of the en- ice and the journey down to Nenana was begun at about S o'clock in the morning, the boats ar irving here at about o'clock in the afternoon. Fred Douse trans ferred himself from the Victory and took the wheel on the Ram, while George Hainzinger attended to the engine. This arrangement was made necessary owing to the heavy ice running, the boat being kept busy lodging the big floes.
 Within the next few days the boats will be hauled up and put away in winter quarters and Douse and Hainzinger will hit the trail l for the upper town:

Say News of Great American
Offensive Is Slowly
Spreading

With the American Army in France,
July 26 (By the Associated Press) -
German soldiers who have deserted
and reached American lines ON the
Lorraine front have made disclosures
indicating that news of the great
American effort is slowly fltering into
some sections of the Germany army,
despite the official effort to belittle
American participation in the war.
One prisoner said he had heard
there were only 100000 Americans in
France. Others however, declared
they knew the figure totalled 100000,
the majority of whom were brought to
France "for other purposes
From the deserters it was learned
also that the three landwehr groups in
Germany have been examined care
fully for fresh material to throw onto
the western front.
On their own initiative the deserters
have ena bled the Americans to estab-
hsh not only the exact makeup of the
enemy opposite them but to keep
track of the shifts on the other side.
