MEXICAN CHIEF
 DENIES REPORT

MEXICO CITY. April 2.-R- Questioned today by a newspaper correspondent for United States paper. General Salvador Gomez, chief of the general staff of the Mexican army, denied that Mexico has granted any agricultural conces- sions to the Japanese government. The army leader amplified his state ment by declaring that he was positive that no individual Japanese. nor Japanese firms, have bought or leased lands in Lower California. He declared that the Mexican gov. ernment has not and will not au- thorize foreigners getting large ex. tensions of lands.
 This statement contradicts the re- ports which were recently received by the American state department which tended to show that Japanese citizens had been granted extensive agricultural concessions in Lower California. The American minister here is now investigating the reports at the order of the American gov- ernment.

THRIFT SPENT
 TIME IN CAL

c. w. Thrift, who arrived recently from the Outside. Is looking all the better for his trip. He has returned to the Northland prepared to spend many more years in the development of the country.
 During his stay Outside he spent most of his time in California visit ing with relatives there. Charlie had great time bathing in the ocean in the lower part of the southern state and his only regret at leaving the south was that he could not bring part of it with him. While sojourn- ing in some of the southern cities he met many of the old time Fair banksans who sought the mild Cali fornia climate to pass away their declining years. They showed him all of the sights-and then some.
 MT. Thrift will be in town for a few days awaiting the arrival of the next stage, which is bringing in his working "duds," and will then leave for Nenana to enter the employ of the commission.

MANY MEN MAY BE EMPLOYED
 ON RAILROAD

According to information furnish. ed by one of the engineering com. mission officials employment may b. given to every idle man in the in terior if the present plan of the in. terior administration is carried out The plan of the commission calls for the completion of many miles ot grade and the laying of miles of steel between Fairbanks and Nenana
 Yesterday the steam shovel waA started on its way to the end of steel beyond the Happy station. Arriving there 1t will be moved to a place about five miles beyond where the track ends. This will prove to Dc slow method as short sections ot track will have to be constantly put in place for the shovel to move on. It Is estimated that one-half mile s day will be good progress; in all the moving from the end of steel to the location for the operation of the shovel will require nearly two weeks.
 The work which the shovel will engage in will consist of running a cut thru a low hill on the line. the earth from the hill being used to build grade 'in large swamp thru which the line is projected. about one and one.half miles of grade be. ing needed. It is not possible to sc cure the dirt along the right of way for the grade so that which Is In the hill will be used.
 In addition to the steam shovel R large number of contractors will be at work along the line throwing up grade. With the combined efforts of the shovel and the contractors 1t Is expected that many miles of grade will be ready for the steel during the summer. Like work will be conducted from the other end and in all probability but a short gap will remain on the Nenana-Fairbanks line when the season comes to close. From the present outlook as many men as may apply for work to the commission will be given em. ployment.

 SAVING STAMPS

WASHINGTON. April 2.-R)-Ad- dressing a convention of postmasters and business men here today. Post master General Burleson declared that the work of the postmasters turnout the country in stimulating and selling War Savings Stamps has been little short of marvellous. and that the postmasters should be re- membered by the government for their work in encouraging thrift. More than 30 per cent of all War Savings Stamps sold by the govern ment during the war. said the speak CT. have been disposed of by the postmasters. or thru the post offices of the country.
 The purpose of the convention meeting here is to devise some meth. cd or methods of increasing postal efficiency turnout the nation. In his speech to the convention. MT. Burle- son declared that high paid war work and war itself had taken thou sands of postal employees from the department. This he explained. has had a tendency to lower the previous high standard of the postal service which had been reached during the first four years of the Wilson ad. ministration.
 The lessened efficiency which has been charged against the postal de. partment of the United States has also been experienced in similar branches of other nations engaged in the war. said MT. Burleson. In. creased burdens laid upon the per sonnel and machinery of the depart ment owing to wartime conditions were declared to be largely respons ible for all shortcomings.
