Mr.. BURNELl R. FORD
Scientist and Inventor Will Take Pri.
yate Harold Peats Place on
Chautauqua Program.

Mr.. Burnell r. Ford, who will ap-
pear OH the program in place of Mr.,
Peat is scientist and inventor. The
nature and properties of electricity
seems to be general and permanent.
In the entire realm of popular educa-
ton no one thing can be of m.re i'm
portance than to educate the people
on what, to them are the mys-
teries of electricity. To do this in a
scientific, yet plain and thoroughly
entertaining way, is no small accom-
plishment. The Coit-Alber Company,
after much search and many discour-
agements has found in the person of
Mr.. Ford such man.
The program Mr.. Ford will give
will be of immense instructive value
to the people. In addition be will
mystify and amuse them. His enter
tainment is replete with vivid sensa-
tons, keen humor, marvellous feats
of daring and thoroughly understand
able explanations of scientific fact.
For a Sunday performance, Mr.
Fords entertainment is unique. He
draws lessons showing how Divine
Providence furnishes all the myster-
les connected with electricity

LACK FUNDS TO BUILD BRIDGE
 AT NIZINA

The Nizina bridge project is again Jeopardized. The appropriation made by the territorial legislature for $25,- OOOOO was based on the assumption that the bridge would not exceed s. 900 feet in length. When the survey was made by Jas. E. Wilson, road supervisor, it was found that the length of the bridge slightly exceeded 6,20O feet. This, with the increased cost of material and labor, makes the total cost of construction, based on plans and specifications of road super visor, $4O,OOO.OO. MT. Wilson, at the request of the people of the territory adjacent to the bridge, resolved to put $8,0O0.OO of the road fund, set aside for the country surrounding Nc Carthy, into the bridge.
 The Alaska road commission has been asked to supply necessary addi- tional fund of $8,OOO,OO.
 The merchants and other people of Mccarthy are sending Joseph H. Mur- ray to Juneau to take up the matter with the road commission.
 Cordova is materially interested in the building of the Nizina bridge, and our neighbors up the line hope that our people will help to convince and persuade the road commission of the urgent need of supplying the amount requested

Snow and Fires.

Juneau is in rather a dangerous predicament as long as the snow lasts, for the fire truck cannot be used. The fire chief has issued a warning to all Juneauites to be exceedingly careful as long as the soft snow is on the ground Under present condi. tions the old system of hand drawn Yukon sleds will have to be resorted to and therefore six of them were stationed about the town.
