Before starting rehearsala in "Anna

Brady. who enscts the rnse of an immi-

To the end that she might give an
authentic personation OF the girl who

Brady made aamerous exeursioas 70

in search Of character material.

 w. R. Taylor, kantishna mining man, suggested that the $1O,OO0 now available for use in the Kan tishna be expended on the Roose- velt-Moose road, as a means of giv- ing immediate relief to the district. He also discussed several routes from the railroad into the district. He said that he preferred the Liz nite route for a permanent road, and pointed out that gravel could be obtained all along the route for grading purposes.
 Road Commissioner R. E. Sheldon addressed the club, describing his trip into the Kantishna recently for the purpose of looking over sug- gested routes. Mir. Sheldon recom- mended the expenditure of S1O,OOO on the Roosevelt road for immedi- ate relief and was largely instru- mental in| interesting the Alaska Road commission in the project, aft CT having been informed by the Governor that there were no terri torial funds available for the work. ! Surveyor-General Sommers, who is a member of the territorial road commission, explained the working of the road funds and the manner in which the Territory and the Alas ka Road commission are cooperating in road work. MT. Sommers, prior to his appointment as surveyor-gen- eral, was attached to the Federal Road commission, having charge of the work in Interior Alaska He explained that the Territory had been able to allot only $47,OO0 for road work in the Fourth division this year, and that it had been necessary to divide it among a num- Der of projects, some of which are being assisted by the Federal fund. One of these is the Kuskokwim project, where the Territory is spending $S,OOO and the Alaska Road commission $12,0O0.
 J. H. Scott called Col. Gotwals' attention to the delay in mining operations in the Kantishna because of the inability of operators to haul freight over the Roosevelt road. He urged immediate action to put the road in good condition.
 1 Col. Gotwals informed the club that no work is being done by the commission this year in the Chand- lar, and none is contemplated. The visitors left for Fairbanks today and may remain in the In- terior for several days. They came in by way of Dawson and will re- turn to the coast by way of the Richardson trail. They were joined at Hot Springs by Road Commis- sioner Sheldon.
