NO SHORTAGE OF TIHEs
MANUFACTURERS sA,

A new brand Of German propagan.
da has come to light.
1t Is directed against the automo.
bile industry. A number of alarming
and malicious stories have broken
loose simultaneously in a dozen or
more Of the large cities. The pur.
pose Of all Of them has been the
same, and that is to alarm the mo.
toring public as to the future of the
motor car.
One story that has been industri.
ously circulated was that there would
be serious shortage of tires as re.
suit of the embargo on crude rubber.
That this report is unfounded Is
proved by the following information
offered by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company: backed up by Great Brit
ain, Uncle Sam has promised the
rubber trade in America 100000 tons
Of overseas" rubber this year. Last
year American manufacturers used
$1,000 tons above 100000 1t is esti-
mated the reserve stock on hand in
America, the first of the year amount
ed to $4,000 tons, so added to the 100,-
600 tons guaranteed her America is
really better fixed now than last
year.
Another Hun lie was to the effect
that, beginning July /, to save gaso-
line the Government would order the
discontinuance Of passenger cars on
Sunday for period of twelve con.
tinuous Sundays. There is no short.
age of gasoline yet in this country,
and the Government so far as we
know is not contemplating any action
of an alarming nature along this line.
Probably the most harmful propa-
ganda now in circulation is: Keep
the heavy trucks off the highways;
they are destroying them" This
story spread so quickly and so widely
in one eastern state that the state
legislature actually almost passed
law forbidding heavy trucks on Its
highways, and probably would have
done so but for the vigilance of motor
truck owners.
Connecticut has furnished the ex'
ample for the rest of the states. She
not only has excellent highways
throughout the state but has carried
her roadwork right to the state lines
of adjoining states, instead OF stop.
ping the work at the last important
town, as is the unfortunate method in
many states. She has given the lie
to the insidious reports that trucks
destroy highways. Connecticut says
that the right kind of roads, proper.
" maintained, will Withstand the
hardest truck traffic. More than that,
she has adopted the policy Of remov.
ing show from her highways in the
winter, so that she gets the use Of
them for twelve months OF the year.

CURRENTS ABOUND
 ALONG RAILROAD

ANCHORAGE, (By MaiD-Wild red entrants abound in unusually large quantities this season along the route of the government railroad. The fruit is served at all the construction camps and is sold for preserving purposes to housewives at every grocery store in Anchorage.
 At Eklutna, railroad station twen- ty-seven miles north of Anchorage, there are great numbers of currant bushes and all of them are bending under heavy loads of fruit. Residents of Anchorage on two days week can take a northbound train in the morn in, get off at Eklutna and pick cur rants there for two hours, and then re turn home on a southbound train early in the afternoon.
 The preserving of the fruit is urged by E. T. Lindner, acting federal food administrator for the Anchorage dis trict. He has issued statement ask ing housewives to take advantage of the abundance of native wild entrants to preserve the fruit. thereby doing their share toward conserving the sup. ply of commercial preserves which. he declares, are and will continue to be needed by the fighting forces of the United States.

Purser Bach of the Admiral Far ragut has made a record in raising funds for the government from the sale of War Savings stamps and the Farragut is the flagship of the feet her officers having turned in more money from the sale of stamps than any other vessels of the fleet. On a trip during the week of July Fourth Purser Bach sold $1200 worth of stamps which were turned in to the Seattle officials in charge of the War Saving Stamps;' and on this trip he has already sold $500 worth with a chance of beating his last trip, as the vessel will have more passengers on her southern trip than on the trir north. The officers and crew of the Farragut are working hard to helI win the war, and their patriotism is mendable.-Valdez Miner.

INDIANS WORK
 ON RAILROAD

ANCHORAGE, (By MaiD-Owing to scarcity of white labor, Indians, who are native to the Anchorage country, have been employed as con- struction workers on the government railroad. While they remain on the job. they give fairly good satisfaction; but they lack steadiness. After few weeks work, they are inclined to go on hunting trips
 For the most part, the Indians are put at tasks like carrying water and cutting and hauling wood for the camps. The aboriginies are not fav- ored as grade workers by contractors and station bosses, some of whom several years ago, at the time of rail road construction in British Columbia. had disappointing experiences with Hindu labor The Hindus unaccus- toned to tools, would discard them and then would scoop up fistfulls of earth for the grade and pat it down with the palms of their hands.
 Cook Inlet Indians are not strangers to the appearance or the use of picks and shovels, but most of the natives are averse to employing sunch utensils longer than is necessary to earn hunt .ng trip expenses.
