TRAILS IN BAD
 CONDITION NOW
ARRIVALS REPORT THAT TRAIL NEAR M'CARTY IS ALMOST
 IMPASSABLE NOW.

Returning from trip up the trail after the mail. H. c. Taylor. local manager for the Brewer line. reports that the trail near McCarty is getting in such bad shape that it. is almost i'm. passable for automobiles. and unless repairs are made in at least one place 1t is probable that stock will have to be placed in service again in order to keep traffic moving.
 The worst places are at Jarvis creek, another two miles south of McCarty and the third near Reals Cache. At Jarvis creek the water Is reported to be undermining and cut ting away the road. South of McCarty there is a mudhole which should be drained at once as it is getting heavier each day.
 From Fairbanks to Richardson. al tho heavy on account of recent ralna the trail is said to be in fairly good condition with the exception of the section around Birch lake. A small hole is reported near the Nine-mil" house, but with this exception th' trail near town Is not bad.

 The wheat was planted on May 6 but shortly after it was put into the ground a severe cold spell came along which retarded it's growth. The re suit of this was to set 1t back and in stead of showing above the ground in Ave days. as usual. 1t took thirteen days.
 Last year MT. Rickert planted q single acre in wheat more as an expe riment than anything else. He was SO impressed with the yield and quality of the harvest that he increas ed his acreage this year twlvefold Other farmers are doing likewise and more wheat will be grown by ioca farmers this year than ever before.

FARMERS FEAR THAT ENDORSEMENT OF 8O-ROD STRIP REGULATION IS
 TO FAIL FROM LACK OF SUPPORT

Considerable unrest is noticeable among the farmers and hoeseaders this vicinity the failure of congress to pass the legislation to do away with the 8Orod strip vision included in the homestead laws passed way back in 1898 and which force at this time More than years ago agricultural interests in this district initiated for the abolition of this provision and they had good believe that their efforts would meet with success.
 At the suggestion of local farmers the late Chas A. Suzer at that time seated congress Aaskas delegate took the matter up and after explaining the situation exists ill interior Alaska, succeeded in having bill intro dced which would have given the secretary of the interior department authority change the regulations insofar they affect Alaska thus effectively aboshng the 8O-rod strip
 After Mr. Suzer was useated appears that interest congress relative the waned and the session ended without any definite action being taken Now that other congress in session. local interests worried the fact that there in Washington look after the matter for them It is probable that of the first things to be called to Mr. Grgsbys attention if he seated delegate to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Sulze death will be that of securing legislation change the present regulations in this matter
 The Act of 1898 amended in 1903 to apply to AL aska but its provisions sufficient the needs
 The objectionable clause reads follows "Provided That entry shall be allowed extending than hundred and sixty rods along the shore of any navgabe water and along such shore space of least eighty rods shall be served from entry between all such claims.
 The department considers any navgable which is meanderabe that any which lines by surveyors without regard for whether is really navgable While there is great need for such regu atons along the shores of important and the coast is plain that they enforce hardship homestead CTS in districts like this one
 Under the proposed bill which was introduced by Dele Sulze the secretary of the interior could have issued new rulings in dealing with land in the interior of AL aska other similar sections without affecting the present regulations connection with other sections where the restrictions needed
 However, the death of Mr. Suzer upsets all the calcu latons of the homesteaders All their work will probably have be done They willing make the effor; but long is for the good of the whole district they believe that they entitled assistance from every interested in it. ~...

creek, neither of which are satisfac' tory in their present condition. One of these roads will be selected as . permanent trail. Work will be done on this one alone and the operators in that vicinity will have as good q road as I have money to build"
 OTHER cREEks
 On Little Eldorado there will be some work done. the extent of which will depend entirely on the funds available. From Cleary City to Cha. tanika a crew will make needed re- pairs. From the Cleary Summit to Cleary City the grader will touch up the road and other work done. Fish creek will also be given attention later in the season.
 kANTisHNA SURVEY
 T have received a petition from the Nenana Commercial Club and another from miners in the Kantish' na district asking that summer trail be opened up to that region. said the commissioner. "I expect to make a trip into the Kantishna as soon as I am able to get away and will look over the route from Liz mite creek to Moose creek and other creeks in the district.' he continued. He is not unfavorable to the proposi' tion and there is every probability that work on a summer trail will be begun before the end of the present season. There has never been any attempt made to open such a trail heretofore on account of the short age of funds for the upkeep of other sections. but the ever-increasing population in the Kantishna and the encouraging reports originating from there make 1t imperative that it be opened to traffic the entire year, in- stead of during the winter months alone.
