BROWNE TO AID
LOCATION WORK
SOUTH Of TOWN

Engineer in Charge Fred'k D.
Browne left for the end of steel, to
the south of Nenana, yesterday to
join the Mills location party, which
is now engaged in running the line
from Ignite toward Broad pass, and
probably will remain in the field for
week or ten days.
Mr.. Browne has visited the district
through which the railroad will pass,
and feels that his observations will
enable him to render valuable as
sistance TO the location party. He
will stay with the work until the
survey has reached a point beyond
the territory familiar to him, by
which time the surveyors will have
got good start.
The field work will keep Mr.
Browne away from Nenana during
the Fourth Of July festivities, an
absence that he very much regrets.
But the extension OF the road, ne
says, is a matter Of much import
ance, both 10 the Commission and
10 the community. and should not
be delayed. For that reason, the
members Of the Mills party also will
stick 10 their work, celebrating in i,
quiet way, perhaps, in their camp
beyond the end of steel. A layof
sufficient TO enable the men TO come
10 town for the celebration would
mean the holding back of important
work for fully week.
Practically all other employees Of
the Commission in this division viii
be in town for the celebration, z
general holiday having been an
nounced for the Fourth And all
employees whose services can be dis
pensed with for period of two
days without serious interference
with the work, Will have two days
in which to celebrate. That means
that there will be a big crowd in
town for the celebration, for it is
safe to say there is not man on
the JOB who will overlook the op-
portunity to enjoy the splendid pro-
gram which has been arranged by
the Fourth Of July committees.
The following official circular re-
lating to the celebration has been
issued from the general offices Of
the Commission in Nenana:
''Nenana. July !, 1919.
ITO All Concerned:
Friday, the 4th, being a legal

1T has been requested that Sat

MILITARY OF JAPAN TO
 CHANGE POLICY IN KOREA

TOXIC. July 10- An indication O. the tendency of the military influence in Japan to work more closely in ha! mony with the civic clements in the Japanese government is seen in the re- cent appointment of Baron Gonsuke HayaShi. former Minister to Italy and China. as Governor General of the Kwantung District in Southern Man churia. Hitherto the governors have always been military officers.
 It is considered probable here that the Hara cabinet will seize the first opportunity of also appointing civil governor for Korea and inaugurate an important reform in the gendarmaric system, if not its abolishment alto gether.
