4. [. C.: BUILDING NEW DOCK ACROSS
 TANANA RIVER

Considerable progress has already been made with the work in con- nection with the building of a dock across the Panama river, near camp 4l5
 All of the piling for the dock proper, as well as to protect the river bank both above and below the proposed dock has been driven, and the work of decking and put ting up the structure will be com menced soon and rushed to com pletion.
 The dock will be 200 feet in length and will be equipped with stiff-leg derrick and powerful hoisting engine, capable of hand ling very heavy weights. The river bank for a distance of 15O feet above and 50 feet below the dock will be protected against erosion and the action of the ice. Filling for this purpose has already been driven and the necessary riprap- ping with gravel filling will be placed in position in a short time.
 The old corrugated powder house, which had been erected along the main line, about two miles south of town, has been dis mantled and sent across the river. This will be erected on the dock there to serve as a warehouse for the present
 Rails and other construction ma- terial and supplies which will be re- ceived this summer, for use on the Nenana-Fairbanks branch, will be landed at the new dock, the steam boats and barges docking there for this purpose.

URGING AR MAIL SERVICE
 FOR THE NORTH

SEATTLE, Apr "A despatch to the Seattle P. l. from it's special correspondent al Washington, D. C., says that Senator Wesley L. Jones. of Washington, in a letter to Post master General Burleson. said that he hoped the postmaster genera, would not overlook Alaska when the time came for experiments to be made in the establishment of air mail routes.
 The senator said that when the Senate had the postoffice appropria- tion bill under consideration, it in- cluded an item of eight hundred thousand dollars which was to be used in conducting airplane experi- ments, and that he caused an amendment to be inserted in the bill of appropriations to the effect that some of this money could be used in Alaska.
 He said that the establishment of an air mail service would mean that the airships will be able to carry mail to many an Alaskan town which now has no mail service Of any kind. There are several naval airplanes at Seattle, he said, which are available for the proposed serv- ice, which he suggested should be between Seattle, ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka and Skagway.

HIGH FUEL COSTS
 BLAMED FOR RATE

The passenger tariff which be- came effective on boats operated by the Pacific Alaska Steamship company (the Admiral Line) on March 20, boosts the first class fare, Seattle to Cordova, to s62, with an eight per cest war tax Tn addition. The new intermediate fare is s5750, and steerage s37. The new rates represent an in crease of s950, s7.50 and ST re- spectively.
 The company also will increase freight rates s1 per ton on all com modities except lumber, which will be increased g per thousand feet.
 The reason given by the com pany for jumping up the rates is the fact that the cost of fuel oil has advanced from ST cents to s1-S5 per barrel, and as this is a considerable item in the cost of operating boats it is asserted to be necessary to increase the tariff.

 It is expected that the actual hauling of the coal from the Burns mine will be commenced Friday.

They knew not the comfort Of home.

On dark nights with God above to

And death flashing around

But alas there were some
Whose short life was past.
They are now swcetly sleeping:
In vain they die?
1t remains for us to show them:
They are waiting on high
They left life and home behind them,
When forward they went.
They questioned no orders given,
Nor asked what it meant.
They set the glorious example,
