GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

A terrible accident occurred here
Friday afternoon that shocked the
whole community and came near end
ing the life of a very nice and bright
little colored boy. Ernest Pettyjohn
II year son of Barrett Pettyjohn a
blacksmith of Glendale while at the
home of his grandmother, Lydia Wa
pies, came near meeting his fate. Ho-
ward Piper, a worthless lOafer, about
IS years of age, was roaming around
with a shot gun, and finding no other
game he shot at Earnest, and the en-
tire load entered the calf of his leg
blowing his flesh clear from the bone.
The child was rushed to the Milford
Hospital were amputatiOn was eX-
pected, but Dr.. Marshall thinks the
leg can be saved, but the child will
be crippled for life. Piper claims this
was an accident, but it is at least care
less handling of dangerous weapons
by a worthless lazy boy, and it
should be a warning to other such
characters. Piper's mother is an in
dustrious widow, and is willing to
pay all expenses for treatment, but
what about the life of this innocent
child who must be a cripple for life.
Another accident happened at Red
den that fairly chilled the blood of the
onlookers. On Thursday morning
when the north bound flying work
train smashed into an automobile Of
Asher Wilkins with William Dutton
as a companion. The car was tossed
40 feet and smashed into splinters.
Mr.. Dutton was miserably mangled,
and was taken to the Milford HOspi-
tai where he soon died. He is about
so years of age and leaves a large
family. Mr.. Wilkins was badly cut and
bruised, but is walking around and
suffering from internal injuries.
Our attention has been attracted by
l very pretty and skilled job of paint

DENNEY STILL GOVERNOR

Attorney General Townsend having
given an opinion to Lieutenant-Gover-
nor J. D. Bush to the effect that, not
withstanding the fact that Governor
Denney is at sea, sailing for France,
the duties of the state executive do
not devolve on the lieutenant-gover-
nor, some minor appointments, it is
said may await the governors return.
1t was reported that this situation
was brought to the attention of Mr..
Bush, and that his object in asking
the attorney-general's opinion was to
ascertain whether he had the right to
make a number of appointments. The
attorney general holds that the Gov
ernor has not relinquished any of his
authority.

POWER LINE ID TRANE MIL, IS
 CUT BY SLIDE
As Result Many Men Are Laid Off by Gastineau Company Because of Power to Oper- ate Plant

A big snow slide, sweeping down the mountainside at the Carlson creek divide tore out the Annex Creek-Thane transmission line belong ing to the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company for distance of a mile at one point and for shorter distances at several other places, says the Empire
 The result of the slide is to cut the Annex creek power station of the mining company off from connection with the plants at Thane and to cut the power available practically in two. This will reduce the tonnage that can be put through the big mill from 5000 tons a day to 5000 tons.
 This means, according to Manager George T. Jackson, of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company, that a corresponding reduction in men, engaged in producing tonnage, the transmission line can be re- paired, which he thinks will be at least a month from now.
 "The snowslide was indeed a dsas- trcus one and will cause the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company to cut the tonnage milled from 5000 tons a day to approximately 5000 tons, as we are now o0ly receiving half the power that we have been get ting" Supt. Jackson said today. Men engaged in getting out tonnage will be temporarily laid off in numbers proportionate to the loss in tonnage, which will mean many men taken from our mines and mills.
 Owing to the fact that in the mountains where the Annex creek line is located snow slides are daily occurring, making working conditions dangerous, it will not be possible to start repair work for some time I estimate that it will be a month be- fore operations on a large scale can be resumed"
 The snowslide took the copper wires on the steel towers far into the gulches and destroyed them, making salvage operations extremely diff cult and in many places impossible. The line runs from Annex creek in Taku inlet over the mountain range to Thane and ia many places is at a great altitude where the snow is still falling.
 Power for the big mill at Thane and for the other machinery incideu- tai to the operations of the plant of the Alaska Gastineau Company is furnished by two electric plants at Salmon and Annex creek. Each fur nishes about an equal amount.

C.P.R. WILLBUY
 SHORT LINE T0
 COAL. FIELD
Believed to Be First Link of Railroad to Tap Rich Coal Deposits in the Groundhog District

Extension of the 14-mile standard gauge railroad running out of Stew art, B. C., up the Bear river to tap the Groundhog coal fields in the in- terior of British Columbia, is forecast 1 by the recent purchase of the road by the Canadian Pacific railway This i information was brought to Juneau by Joe Ulmer, territorial road com missioner from Ketchikan, who spent a few days in the city on his ret turn from the grand igloo of the Pioneers at Seward, says the Empire
 MT. Ulmer said that no secret has been made of the fact that the Cana dian Pacific interests have bought the Bear river road from Mackenzie and | Mann, and he has every reason to be- lieve that 1t was bought with the sole intention of being the first link in railroad that will open up the i'm Groundhog district. About 100 miles of new road will have to be con- Il structed.
 I Mackenzie and Mann, who promot- ! ed and constructed the Canadian i Northern railway about 10 years ago I built the II miles of road up the tending it to the coal fields, but the war stopped further construction and | since that time the road has been T practically abandoned. Last year the Il Algunican Development Company, which has valuable mining property on Bear creek, leased the railroad plies.
 MT. Ulmer has done a great deal of prospecting and exploring in the in terior of British Columbia, back of Stewart, and is enthusiastic as to ''- possibilities.
 The coal deposits in the Ground- : hog district are immensely rich and cover wide extent of territory" de, : clared MT. Ulmer. Much of the coal is in semi-anthra cite, and some of 1t is high-clasS bituminous. The British government is very much interested in this field as providing a source of supply for coal for navy use, and 1t is quite likely that this is the main motive of the Canadian Pacific's late move.
 This country also shows indica- ttons of oil, and I would not be sur prised to see some development along this line in the near future. About 300 miles farther north, along the Dease river, Is a great grazing country, and if it could be furnished transportation stock raising could be pursued very profitably there. The Canadian government is said to bo planning to stock this district with reindeer imported from Alaska"
 In connection with this railroad, Bernard M Stone, who has been in the city the past week, says that plans are under way to extend the railroad from Stewart, B. C., along the international boundary to Hyder and up the Salmon river valley to the rich mining district, where the Pre- mier mine and other valuable proper ties are located.

SALES SHOW FINE
WOOL SHEEP DEMAND

That healthy demand exists for
fine wool breeding rams is indicated
n the amount of business that has
been done by the Cunningham sheep
Co {, n the early weeks of the selling
season. y sale OF I95 rams was made
last week to William Rettio of Fossil,
Cregon.
The rams sold are yearling Ram
houillets, and the price at which the
deal was made was satisfactory to
both parties. MIR Rettie, who is one
% The best known sheepmen i'm this
section of the state. purchased the lot
for hls own flocks and for number
of neighbors. His clip of wool this
year was the second highest priced
clip sold in the state, the price reeeiv-
ed h.Ing 20 S-i cents a pound This
tee I'd was eclipsed by Joe Cunha's
clin hich sold for Il cents.
With the season hardly started, the
cunningham outfit has already closed
deals for the sale of 500 rams. In
normal times there is little movement
of breeding stuff until August and
IScpt2mber. and the fact that heavy
demnnd exists now is taken to indi-
cate on exceptionally strong desire on
the part of breeders to get fine wool
