ROAD COMMISSION TO MAKE
 REPAIRS ON ROOSEVELT ROAD

With a view to giving temporary relief to the miners of the Kan tishna district, who are now virtual ly isolated by reason of the fact that there is now no summer road over which supplies may be hauled, the Alaska Road Commission is send ing a crew of men, under H. l. Mil Ter, to Roosevelt Landing, to put the Roosevelt-Eureka road in con- dition for use. MT. Miller arrived from Fairbanks yesterday and left for the Kantishna this afternoon aboard the George Moody launch, with men and supplies for the work. All of the stock needed will be ob- tained in the Kantishna.
 MT. Miller says he does not know how much money will be available for the undertaking His instruc- tions are to proceed to Roosevelt and start work. and it is his belief that enough money will be provided to put the road in condition for use. It is impossible now.
 Major Gotwals, engineer officer of the Alaska Road Commission. will leave for the Kantishna within a few days and it is expected that a definite outline of the work will be determined upon his arrival there.
 The Roosevelt road was built originally with territorial funds, for winter use only, and since its com pletion considerable additional work has been done in an effort to make it available also for summer use. But arrivals from that district re- port that it is difficult at present for even packhorse to make the trip from Roosevelt to Eureka. and it is believed, in consequence, that a lot of work will be required to make the improvements contemplat- ed. The road is about 30 miles in length and much of the distance traversed is swamp, which will re- quire corduroying.

NEW PAYSTREAk IS FOUND
 IN OLD KoYUKUK DICGINGs

J. H. Flower, of this city, has re- ceived letter from the Koyukuk in which he is informed of a new discovery of pay, the first discovery of consequence in that camp for a number of years. The letter says
 They have made a new strike on the lower part of Emma creek. It is the old channel that they lost some few years ago, and it is on the bench, and goes across toward Kelly's Mistake.
 "The work done thus far indicates that there might be several good claims. Jim Wilson located the pay shortly after Lee Wilson left the camp. There will be quite a lot of work going on there next winter.
 The ground is from so to 90 feet deep where the pay was found.
 There is gold on Gold creek bench but it is not known how good the pay is, although something cer- tain will be known before long. They have put in a big ditch and are ground sluicing now.n

WISCONSIN REMOVING SIGNS
 OF SALOONS OF OLD DAYS

1 MADISON, Aug. 1-Wisconsin has taken upon itself the task of getting rid of all bars, fixxtures, screens, stalls and all other accourements which have gone to make up a saloon atmosphere. The order for their extermination is carried in a prohibition enforcement bill recent ly passed by the legislature. The law requires that mo per son having a license for the sale of misunderstanding beverages to be sold for consumption upon the premises shall maintain standing bar or counter of any description at which any such drinks of beverages are consumed.
 No booth, stall, or any enclosure of any kind in or connected with such place or room shall be main tained," the law further provides. It orders in addition that "the win dows and doors of any such place or room shall be unobstructed by screens, blinds, paint or other article so that a clear and unob- structed view of the interior of said place or room from the outside may at all times be had"
 Thousands of Wisconsin saloons. 1000 or more in Milwaukee alone, will be affected.
 All must go immediately, accord ing to edict of the prohibition com missioner. He says he intends to enforce every feature of it.
 Court battle is to follow as soon as the first arrest is made, proprie- tors of Milwaukee bar-rooms have said. They reported they would at tack the measures constitutionality in the supreme court Some an- nounced they plan in the meantime to evade the law by one method of indirection or another. @....

GERMAN DYE PRODUCTION
 NOT MENACE TO AMERICA

LEVERKURSEN, Germany, Aug. 6-The total production this year of German dyestuff manufacturers will not exceed 6o,OOO tons, which will make it impossible to flood" the markets of England O. America. or even compete successfully against American manufacturers, according to Dr. Carl Duisberg, head of Ger many's greatest dye manufacturing organization
 We have recently increased our capital to 1,762,30O,OO0 marks, which is 719,OOO,0oO more than our previous capital, but this was the inevitable consequence of the tre- mendous depreciation of our cur rency and resultant increases in the prices of commodities" he explains.
 II has nothing to do with intended attacks on the world market, which it has been reported we were plan ming.
 Labor difficulties, shortage of coal, the unsatisfactory traffic con- ditions; as far as the Rhineland is concerned, the obstacles, caused by the Rhine customs barrier; all pre- vent us, in any case, from increasing our output, and leave us in far from satisfactory position. This po- sition is made worse by the hind rances placed in our way in many foreign countries" ..:.
 Dr. Duisberg characterized a re- ported demand in some American quarters for the closing of German dyeworks because they might be

certificates this week and the fact
that Liberty bonds are back at
their original par value. But the
fact is the treasury has been work
ing on the new plan ever since It
was apparent that Liberty bonds
were starting back to par The
psychological value, nevertheless,
OF announcing the new issue at the
very moment when Liberty bonds
touched par is appreciated. So
many small investors bought Lib
erty bonds without knowing that
market values could cause them to
drop in price that the government
now is benefited by being able to
point to the par value of bonds as
proof of the original promises of
the government Still the treasury
has had 10 take into account that
many investors, disappointed by
their experience with Liberty
bonds, might be cold toward gov
eminent investments unless given
an absolute guarantee of the par
value of security. The new Ger
tificates cannot fall in value. They
are redeemed whenever an investor
needs money and he sustains no
loss at aIl-in fact he collects in
terest besides. There is to be con-
tinuous sale, moreover. of these GER
tificates. The date of purchase does
not affect the value as was the case
with war savings stamps.
RAHfo&~shuAaS nahf
The new process doesn't increase
the public debt but rather redis-
tributes it. The intention is to Gre
ate an army of new investors,
touching a elias which might not
otherwise be disposed to save. The
number of plans to be used in re-
firing the war debt as whole will
continue to increase from time to
time in order that all classes of in
vestors may be reached. But in
general the government has en-
barked on a policy that looks to-
ward the gradual retirement of the
war debt by borrowing from the
public at stated intervals and off
setting these borrowings by gradu-
al accumulations of surplus from
taxes and imports. In other words,
| the government must go on the as
sumption that Europe cannot pay
America ten billions of war debt
and that if anything is paid in the
present generation, it will to that
extent ease the burden and curtail
the necessity for borrowing. The
people of America will therefore
finance their government by lend
ing it money from time to time IN
til collections from regular sources
of revenue can be piled up.
Some opposition from small saw
ngs institutions is anticipated but
government officials insist that the
effect in the end will be to help saw
ings banks. Anything that encour-
ages savings, it is contended, will
help the general business of in
| VeStment.

''The only process of multiplication is modification" was the thought brought out last night by Rev, R. s. Beal. pastor of the First Baptist church in Tucson. in the first of a series of revival meetings. which he is conducting this week at the local Baptist church on Main street.
 Rev. Beal who carries a long rec ord of successful religious undertak- ings, vouching for his. success as a pastor, used fer the theme of his first meeting last night Except Grain of Wheat Fall Into hte Ground and Die it Abide Alone" (John 12:2D. The principle of the only process of multiplication is mortification" was skillfully brought to play upon the grain of wheat first and then upon society. religious institutions and ff- nally, upon the individual himself.
 At this evenings service at 7:30 o'clock Mrs. Garnett and MT. Gilbert of the K P. male quartet. will repeat by request the duet sung at last nights service.
 The regular weekly prayer meeting and teachers training ciass wi:T oe postponed until the expiration of the revival meetings.
