The Alaska Road Commission survey party recently made a survey for a suspension bridge over the Salchaket river about half a mile above MunsOn's roadhouse.
 Through the efforts of Coun- cilman Robert Lowe the Depart ment of the Interior has been prevailed upon to allow oil stam- peders to Fort Norman to record their claims in Whitehorse, sav- ing long expensive trip to Ed morton. The Yukon route is much closer than any other and it is believed the present sum- mer will see much travel.

Fair visitors. Reports were current
to the effect that prices had been in
creased in a number of other business
places. In the main, tho. The State
Journal was unable to verify the re-
ports of excess profit taking.
With the coming of thousands of
visitors to Topeka for the big fair this
week, rumors were current to the eff
feet that prices on food stuffs had
been increased in a number of in
stances. The greatest complaint af-
fected restaurants. Shortly after noon
today The State Journal received a
number of telephone calls from per-
sons who stated that the prices at
Victory Lunch restaurants had been
increased for fair week.

MAKE al new CITIZENS
Hearing of Eighty Petitions in District
Court Ended Saturday.

Forty-one persons. most of them
Russians. were admitted to American
citizenship during the hearing of about
eighty petitions in the second division
of the Shawnee county district court
which ended Saturday evening at s
o'clock after a two days session.
Approximately twenty cases were
dismissed and an equal number were
continued. Many of the applicants
failed to produce their witnesses and
others were told to go home and wait
until they had learned to read and
write the American language.
An unfortunate case was that of
John Davies who came to Topeka last
January from Ford county, to become
fstatistician for the state board of
health. Davies had resided in Ford
county for about thirty years and for
fourteen years was county commits
Isioner and county treasurer there. but
when his case came up for a hearing
Saturday afternoon he failed to prove
his citizenship. Davies was brought
to this country from Wales when only
five years old.
