THE FIRST TRIP
TO HEADWATERS
OF The TAKU
Juneau Empire

y new speed boat built for E. P.
Pond for Taku river navigation
will make the first trip that has
ever been made by power boat
to the hea lwaters of the Taku
river, a distance of 60 miles from
the mouth, to meet A. L. Car
ruthers, divisional engineer of
mineral development for Canada;
K. Clothier, district engineer of
the Public Works Department for
British Columbia, and F. H. Mob
ley, of the British Columbia Par
lament, who are coming overland
from Atlin, and who will return
to Juneau with Mr.. Pond.
The new boat was built at the
Canyon on the Taku by Fl.
Shangle after plans drawn by
Captain William Strong of the
river steamer Cassiar. The boat
is 40 feet long with a 40 h. D.
Scrip engine, tunnel type, and
the boat draws six inches of water
when loaded. The boat was spe-
cially designed and built for ne
gotiating the Taku river. Another
boat is being fitted up by Mr..
Pond for the river and next sum-
mer he expects to be in a position
to take freight of prospectors and
homesteaders a considerable dis
lance up the river system. AL
ready encouraging mineral speci-
mems have been received from
that section, including coal, and
the agricultural resources have
been we'll advertised. The pur-
pose of the visitof the party from
Atlin is to make a trip over the
entire route in order to make
themselves familiar with it for
the proposed automobile highway
from Attn to the mouth of the
Taku river. War has delayed
plans for building the road, but
just as soon as the war is over,
they vii be carried forward.
Mr. Pond will leave juneau Sun.
day morning on the Murrelet to
connect with his speed boat near
the mouth of the river for the trip
up the Tallu.
We have opened navigation on
the river" said Mr.. Pond today,
and our final effort has been to
induce the British Columbia au-
thoritles to give consideration to
the construction Of Il wagon road
from Attn to the river. 1t is ex-
pected that the report of the en-
gineers will bring results next
spring. 1t is to be hoped that the
people of Juneau will not appear
indifferent to the success of this
project and that a delegation from
our city will join the expedition
and thereby lend support and en-
enlargement to a successful is
sue" he concluded.

"SINKERS" AND
PIES SAVED BY
HOOVER RULING

Washington, Feb 8 - The pie,
famed in the culinary annals of New
England, has been saved from i'm
pending disaster.
Food Administrator Hoover was
softened yesterday by the stories
brought to him by New England pie
makers, that an adherence to the two
wheatless days in the pie making in
dustry meant ruin for many eating
places.
The Food Administrator then modi-
fed his ruling, so far as the pie and
doughnut factories are concerned.
Pies and doughnuts can be served
each day in the week provided they
are made every day from coughs that
contain one-third non-wheat flour.
Delegations of New England pie
makers told Mr.. Hoover that in a
great many of the lunchrooms the
principal income was derived from
pies and doughnuts. When the one
third wheat saving program is fol-
lowed throughout the week, the eat
ing places will be allowed to adver.
tise that they serve Victory pies"
and Victory doughnuts."

tration yesterday, telling of the change

in the pie and doughnut trade.
Ice Shortage Feared.
Possibilities of a serious ammonia
shortage and a consequent curtail-
ment of artificial ice manufacture
next summer were suggested by the
Food Administration today in reply
to reports that production is ample.
A statement was made as follows:
1.-THE attention of the Food Admin
istration was called to articles ap-
pearing in various New York papers
by which it is indicated that plenty
of ammonia. will be available to make
ice next summer, that there will be
no communicating on ammonia in
New York and that there will be suf-
| fcient supply of the commodity to
permit the manufacture of the Gus
| tomary amount of artificial ice.
s"The government cannot give as
surance that there Will be a sufficient
| supply of ammonia, nor that the man
| ufacture of the customary amount OF
| HON@@HS' y
is danger of a serious shortage OF
ammonia and steps are being taken to
have as large as possible a harvest
of natural ice to meet any possible
shortage of artificial ice"
Confer on Eggs and Poultry.
Representatives of the egg and
poultry trade, after a conference with
Food Administration officials, named
| a general committee for each trade
to draw up definite agreements regu-
lating the prices and distribution OF
the commodities they handle. If &C
ceptable to the Food Administra-
ton, they will be put voluntarily into
force.
Chief among the reforms sought by
/, the administration are the eimina-
ton of unnecessary handling and the
abolition of specializing.
