WAGON ROAD TO BE BUILT BY GOVERNMENT
 CONNECTING STEEL

A telegram was received by the engineer in charge of the Alaskan En- gineering Commission here, instruct ing him to put on force of 100 men as soon as possible for the purpose of constructing good serviceable wagon road connecting the end of steel on this division with the end of steel on the coast division, at Indian creek.
 The instructions contained in the telegram referred to indicated that the work allotted to his division on the wagon road, was to be from the end of steel at mile 365 Lignite) to Carlo creek, near the Broad Pass summit, a distance of about 35 miles. It is ex- pected that the party working on the wagon road from the coast end will carry the road up to this point from Indian river.

GREAT BRITAIN CLAIMS
 TRADE SOUTH AMERICA

LONDON, June 21 (by Associated Press) Belief that Great Britain can have the trade of South America for the asking despite the competition which the United States has built up there during the war, was expressed by Gordon Ross, formerly financial edi- tor of the Buenos Aires Standard, in an address he delivered here recently. MT. Ross is quoted as saying that there is in some South American republics jealous fear of the extension of the influence of the United States and he repeated the statement that it had been cynically said in South America that the Monroe doctrine meant not so much America for the Americans" as America for North Americans"
 MT. Ross told his hearers that Brit ish neglect of advertising in South Am erica had an important effect upon their trade; that it was important that catalogues should be published in the language of the people and that prices should be quoted in the currency of the country.

must Always Have Horses.

A limousine is all very we'll for a
fleeing kaiser. But for a triumphal
entry, a journey over strewn roses,
through acclaiming throngs, the mon
arch selects horse. King Albert and
his queen returned to their people in
the ancient knightiy manner. Many
statesmen are less becoming to a
horse. and it Is perhaps fortunate that
the presidents limousine escaped dam
age on the Orduna. but it is certain
that highbred steed rises to an Sc-
casion of magnificence better than a
motorcar. "a drift of crimson petals
covered the mudguards. lilies became
tangled in the nonskid chains. and
the exultant crack of blowout mia-
gled with the peoples cheers" This
will never do. Come what may, We
must always keep few horses to
head parades.

WINTER TRAVEL IN ALASKA
Archdeacon Stuc. Tells Of Some Of the
Sufferings to Be Encountered in
the Frozen North.

Archdeacon Stuck, already famous
for his ascent OF Mount Mckinley.
made remarkable journey into Alaska
last winter.
-> His route extended around the
whole arctic coast Of Alaska. begin
Ming at the west side. aud thence In
land to Fort Yukon. He was received
everywhere with cordial hospitality
by the Eskimos. Two weeks were
spent at Point Barrow. where the trav-
eler had an opportunity Of studying
the largest Eskimo village in Alaska
under winter conditions. During the
subsequent journey of 225 miles to
Flaxman island the party saw only one
human being and were housed only
twice.
The archdeacon describes it as 'the
harrenest, most desolate. most for
saken coast / have ever seen In my
life; fat as this paper on which
write, the frozen land merging indis-
tinguishably into the frozen sea;
nothing but q stick Of driftwood
here and there, half buried IN the In
dented snow, gives evidence Of the
shore.n
For two weeks the travellers had to
face a bitterly cold northeast wind.
and the faces Of all were continuously
frozen. The heaviest task Of all was
the journey over the winters un-
broken SHOW to Fort Yukon. On this
inland trip Stefansson and his party
were encountered and escorted to Fort
Yukon. where Stefansson, who was
seriously i'll. received medical at-
tention.

school teacher, being one Of those ap-
pointed, visited a number Of stores. In
one the manager became indignant as
she explained the necessity of his do
ing more ventilation. "Why, It's very
warm here" she complained, unbutton-
ing her coat and revealing a georgette
crepe waist.
"ventilating doesn't have anything
to do with it." protested the man.
'Why, SO per cent Of the cases Of flu
in this country have been caused by
the wearing Of georgette crepe
waists"
He was actually ready to smile when
back came Miss Kilroy's cool re
joinder: Il suppose that explains the

Natives OF Rimatara Ascribe Their &c.

J Saved by the hand of God," Is the
way the nine natives composing the
crew of the S0-ton schooner Oromana
characterize their escape from death,
after having drifted helplessly SO days

island about 800 miles southwest Of
Tahiti, left her home port, without
cargo, bound for the island Of Rurutu,

undergo repairs and take cargo OF

Two days out, she was struck by
storm, which carried away both her
masts and later her rudder. leaving
her helpless 1derelict

drifted for so days. After Is days the
supply of food was gone. The natives
managed to catch shark with hook
and line. This lasted them five days.
The rest Of the time they had no food.
An occasional Shower prevented death
from thirst.
Then the miracle" happened. The
mountains Of Tahiti rose slowly over
the horizon. The shifting sea current
brought them nearer and nearer until
they were finally sighted from snore
and a powerboat sent to tow them in.
They were too weak to rise to their
feet, but, after a few days ashore all
appeared to be rapidly recovering from
their experience.
The natives say the hand of God
guided their craft, for the prevailing
winds in these latitudes are from the
northwest, a direction which would
never have brought them to Tahiti.

The purchase of Government Bonds and Savings Stamps has increased rather than decreased savings depos- it's in the banks of the country Re cent statements from various sections. from Los Angeles to New York, show that since the armist.ce was signed the savings banks of the country have been flooded with deposits. New York State recently passed the $2,000. .0o0,- 900 mark, with tho number of depos- itors running up to more than $500. 900.
 The deposits piled steadily up through the war period A statement covering savings deposits in all banks other than national, issued in Teb- ruary, 1919, showed that the amount arose from $6,147. 592 332 in 1913 to s7,727, 007.9 in 1918
 In the latter part of May savings banks of Los Angeles reported depos- its of approximately s160,000,0o0 The U. s. Postal Savings banks found Jan- uary and February of the present year exceptionally lSS months for savings.
 The Postal Savings banks have con ducted only very limited educational campaigns in the past. and the credit for tig increases is freely given to the wc-k done in the Savings Stamp campaigns. Persons who get the thrift habit practice it in savings de posits as well as in Thrift and Savings Stamp purchases, 1t has been shown.
 The figures prove that in the tre- mendous call upon the people of the country for money to float the Liberty Loans aL- the War Savings cam paigns. deposits were not generally withdrawn from the savings banks. Effort was made to pay for stamps ana bonds out of the family income without touching the nest eggs that aye growing in the savings banks.

The average monthl, increase has been about 12,- 900, 900 yen (S5.9S2 ,00O) since Fob ruary, 1918.
