PRESSURE TEST OF CITY MAINS
 IS SUCCESSFUL
Water At Full Pressure Was Turned On This Morning In Mains;
 Test Successful.

The city mains. which had been giving some trouble recently, and which were thoroughly gone over and all leaky points attended to, were put to the test today and found to be thoroughly successful.
 A full pressure of water was turned on, and the pipes sujected to a pressure of 125 pounds to the square inch, but no leaks developed. The hose was coupled on to the fire hydrant on upper A street and a column of water that would easily go over any building in Nenana was shot through it for some time.
 Townsite Manager Joseph states that the tests made were very satis- factory and that wire will be sent to the Board of Fire Underwriters to the effect that the city mains have passed the final test very sat isfactorily.

HARRY ACOFF IS DINNER HOST ID
 BOYS OF DRAFT
Dinner and Entertainment At the Carter House Is Enjoyed By
 Many Today.

Harry Agoff, whose home in Russia, is near the homes of a majority of the boys leaving on the transport Jacobs today for Fort Gibbon, entertained the drafted men and some of their friends at a dinner at the Carter House this afternoon.
 The following guests partook of the sumptuous dinner got up and served by Mrs. Fred Carter: Nick Aldatoff, Harry Bekoff, Bob Saban- off, Mike Gemoff, Sam Hamloff, Miak Timiroff, Jake Bitsoff, Julius Boimite and John Blattman of the draft; the other guests present be- ing Howard G. Haslem, Dan Kozoff, Alick Kalisoff and Andro Gibson.
 After the dinner the host made speech, eulogizing the American nation and referred in very compli- mentary terms to the treatment ac- corded the Russian boys by the American people at all times, which they deeply appreciated. He urged the boys to fight manfully for the right and assured them that a very cordial welcome from the American people awaited all of them on their return from the battle fields.
 The speech, which was enthusiast ically received, was followed by an entertainment, which was very much enjoyed by all present.
 Patriotic songs and recitations were rendered by the boys, the songs being accompanied on the Russian mandolin by Harry Bekoff. A graceful Russian dance was also given. The proceedings were brought to close with a patriotic song and a recitation by Larue Carter.
 A group photograph of those present was taken shortly before the party broke up, and later on another group of the Russian boys was taken at the Tyler studio.

BRIDGE SPANNING GLACIER CREEK IS
 NOW UNDER WAY
A Commencement Is Made This Morning With the Driving of
 Piles Across Glacier.

Piledriver No. 4, also known as the track driver, was sent out last night to the end of the D line and the work of driving piles for the bridge that will carry the rails across Glacier creek was commenced to- day
 The bridge will be 120 feet in length and it is expected that it will be completed in about three days when the rails will be laid across it and the work of building the government road will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
 Quite a lot of the grade lying be- yond Glacier creek has already been completed under contract and, it is expected that the work of track laying and surfacing will move along very rapidly. The gangs will also be clear of the marshy lands which will speed up the work considerably
 Since the commencement of work on the D line, approximately nine and one-half miles of a workable railroad has been completed to date, leaving a distance of about twelve and one-half miles of a practically completed grade to be railed before the old roadbed near the 30-mile roadhouse is reached.

SCHOOL
FUND TROUBLE
Board OF Education And State
Comptroller Are Likely To
Lock Horns

Annapolis, Md, August 6.-The
State Board of Education and State
Comptroller are likely to lock horns
over the distribution Of the State pub
lie school funds. There has been for
some time back a dispute as to the
method of awarding or distributing
the funds used for the Maryland pub
lie school system. The State Board of
Education had allotted to them for
1917 and 1918 $750,OO0. The officials
of the State Board of Education claim
that out of this sum during the year
1917 there is due the State Board of
Education 100000, and that so far
during the present year there has
been withheld from the school officials
the sum OF $4,000.
There have been frequent confer
cnces between the Comptroller's force
and the School Board officials, but
they have been unable to agree as to
why the money has not been paid
over. Yesterday State Superintendent
Stephens, of the State Board of Edu-
cation, called at the Office of Attorney
General Ritchie and asked that an
opinion be given as to whether the
State Comptroller should pay this dis
puted sum over to the State Board Of
Education. 1t is understood that the
Comptroller's office contends that the
money automatically reverts back into
the treasury.
The controversy in many respects is
similar to a recent dispute between
the State Roads Commission and the
Comptroller.
