AUTO BRINGS OLDT|MERS BACK
 10 FAIRBANKS

Late yesterday evening Frank Burgess arrived in Fairbanks from Chitina in his automobile with three passengers. The journey from Chitina was made in three days, in spite of the very bad condition of the trail.
 Those returning were Peter Ret tig, formerly of the American Bank of Alaska, and Hjalmar Johnson and Eugene Hanson of Cleafy, who had been Serving with the colors and who recently received their dis charges.
 Mir. Rettig left Fairbanks for the States in September, 1917, but re- turned to the coast after a brief visit to his folks, and took a posi- ton with the Alaska Sea Food conA pany, near Cordova. Jack Reagh and Oscar Anderson, formerly of the D. c. Go. at Fairbanks, are interested in the Alaska Sea Food Co.,, which is said to be doing big business.
 While in San Francisco, Rettig says he met Adolph Pruning, who was also formerly connected with the now defunct American Bank of Alaska. Pruning was busy secur-
 ing plant for working his mining ground in the Jack Wade country
 Mir. Rettig says that F. G. Moves seems to have the airplane bug badly and that he intends bringing one of the latest types of flying machines into the coutnry when he returns north.
 There is much talk and excite ment on the coast, he says, regard ing mine development in Alaska and Siberia.

TOLOVANA MINERS ARE
 INJURED BY BLOW.BACK

Morris Brouche and Jean Me Quoin, who are engaged in mining near Brooks, in the Tolovana dis trict, were seriosulyI injured yester- day by a blow-back from a steam thaw point.
 The men were engaged in driving points in a narrow tunnel when the blow-back occurred and were unable to get away from it.
 They are reported to have sus- tained serious burns about the face, neck and arms of each of them and it is considered probably that they will be taken to the hospital, either at Nenana or Fairbanks.

BILL AWAITS ACTION
 OF COMMITTEE

Notwithstanding the fact that Chairman Edes has informed the local office of the Alaskan Engin- erring Commission of the passage of the general deficiency bill, carry ing an item of approximately two million dollars for railroad work in Alaska, the bill is still in the hands of the conference committee, to which it was referred last week The railroad item is not in dispute, however, and may be regarded as good as passed, since both branches of Congress already have given their approval to that portion of the bill.
 Upon receipt of the information Tuesday, announcing the passage of the bill, the News wired The Asso- ciated Press for confirmation, sus- pecting that either Chairman Edes had made a mistake or that The Associated Press had overlooked an important news item. The reply came this morning, the News cor respondent stating that the Alaska railroad appropriation has passed both houses of Congress and is cer- tain to go to the President for ap- proval, though delayed temporarily awaiting the settlement of a disa- greement between the houses on another item of the general de- ficiency bill, compelling the secre- tary of the treasury to buy a Chicago speedway hospital"
 The telegram from Chairman Edes said the abill had passed the senate on June eleventh, and it probably did pass on that date, but the chair man evidently overlooked the fact that certain changes had been made by the senate which necessitated reference of the measure to a con- ference committee, before which the bill is still pending. The bill will not be ready for the signature of the President until both branches of Con~ress have approved the items in the form in which they are submitted by the conference com mittee, but as the report of a con- ference committee is usually ac- cepted without debate, it may be presumed that the deficiency bill will not be long in reaching the Presidents desk.
 It is enouogh for Alaskans to know that both branches of Con- gress have approved the railroad item and that the outlook for early action on the bill is sufficiently en- couraging to warrant immediate re- lease of funds much needed by rail- road workers. The balance of the money owing and that needed to carry on the work during the re, mainder of the month undoubtedly will be available within a short time

OF WOMAN FOUND FLOATING
 CLOSE 10 TOWN

William McDougal, who has a logging contract with the 4. E. C., and whose camp is situated about five miles above town, on returning to his camp from Nenana this morning, discovered the body of a white woman afloat in an eddy in the river, at spot about three miles above town.
 He states that the body appeared to be devoid of clothing and that it was in an advanced stage of de- composition. He thinks the body might be that of one of the un- fortunate victims of the Flyer dis aster, which occurred on October 4, last year.
 Mir. McDougall reported the find ing of the body of the woman to the U. s. commissioner, who, with Deputy Marshal Hagen, proceeded to the spot in a boat The sight of the body sickened McDougall, who immediately hurried to town to report the matter, but before doing so, he asked Jimmy Woods, who happened to be near, to watch the floating body until the authori- ties arrived on the scene.
 The trail leading to McDougall's camp leads away from the river near this point, and ordinarily, he would have gone past it, but on this occasion his attention was at- tracted to the riverside by the ac- tions of his dog, who would appear to have first scented and seen the body. He does not think there is any danger of it's floating away, as when he saw it, it was we'll back in the eddy and was barely moving He made no attempt to secure it, but merely asked Woods to keep an eye on it.
 Body Identified
 U. s. Commissioner R. S. Me Donald, Deputy Marshal James Hagen and Wm. McDougall, who went to the spot where the body was seen on the Commission launch Sunbeam, returned to town this afternoon with the body, which has been definitely identified as that of Mrs. Hawley w. Sterling. From its long immersion in the water, the body was in a highly decomposed state and Identification was possible only by the rings found on one of the fingers, and consisted of her wedding ring and a ruby ring bearing the inscription "Hawley to Peggy" on the inside. The body was taken to the A. E. C. oilhouse and will remain there until the metal casket in which it is to be sealed and which is now being made by Wm. Gilcher, is ready.
 Commissioner Mcdonald notified Hawley Sterling by telephone. MT. Sterling is resident engineer in charge of camp 449, and he inti- mated that the body will have to be shipped to Fairbanks for burial Further instructions will be awaited by the officials here.
 An inquest will be held over the remains at o'clock this evening , at the commissioner office

That a majority Of the COM

over to the Interstate Commerce

That no one on tho COM
mittee seriously believes any

That immediate legislation
is necessary to adjust the great
number of claims made against
the railroads since the Govern

That the members Of tho COM
