DIR. DEW TAKES OWN LIFE.

The people, of Dillon were shocked
and grieved to learn Saturday morn
ing that DIR. J. H. Dew, the we'll
known evangelist, had taken his own
life by cutting his throat with a razor.
DR.. Dew was in a hospital suffering
from a nervous breakdown and il is
believed he cut his throat in a NOM
ent of temporary insanity. He lived at
Asheville where he went several years
ago to regain his health which had
become impaired from the strenuous
work he had been doing in the pulpit.
DR.. Dew was a native of Dillon
|ccunty, having been born in the
southwestern part of the county 5S
years ago. After leaving college he
taught school and then entered the
ministry. He became one Of the ma
tion's leading evangelists and his
work extended all over the United
States. For many years he lived in
the west, but his work took him to
all parts of the country.
Three years ago DR.. Dew conduct
ed meeting at Dillon and his strong
and forecful sermons are still fresh
in the minds of hundreds who heard
him at these meetings.
1t can truly be said that DR.. Dew
sacrificed himself to the cause to
which his life had been given. He
was an incessant worker and as he
closed a meeting at one place he took
up another at some other place prob
ably hundreds of miles distant. The
physical strain was too great ant
the breakdown that followed lef'
him almost a physical wreck.
The interment was made at Latte
saturday morning.

PREDICTS HUGE TOURIST TRAVEL
 DURING SUMMER

Col. J. G. Steese, president of the Alaskan road commission, was in town this morning on his way to Juneau from trip to the westward. Regarding funds for carrying on the road work of the territory this year Colonel Steese said that the commission was very short of money, as the half million appropriation for Alaska, which was carried in the army appropriations bill was vetoed by President Wilson. He hopes the present congress will make some pro- vision for the future.
 Colonel Steese in speaking of his trip to Brooks and the Kantishna dis trict stated that he was about seven days going over the government rail way to Nenana, and that the work accomplished since his last trip was a revelation to him. He states the trail was perfect while the snow was on, but that it is breaking up and sum- mer travel will be over the Richard son road after the middle of May
 Colonel Steese recently sent a com munication to various tourists agen- cies directing their attention to the many facilities that will be afforded tourists and travellers to the interior. The communication explained that the Richardson Highway, which was neglected during the war, has been repaired and placed in a high state of efficiency, and that this road will provide a splendid route to tourists desiring to see some of the interior at a small expense
 The colonel suggests that tourists take the train over the wonderful scenic route of the Copper river rail way to Chitina, and thence come by stage to Valdez, passing over the summit, and through some of Alaskas finest scenery, catching the same boat at Valdez. Or if desired they can go through to Fairbanks without discomfort, fine roadhouse accommo- dations being found at short intervals.
 The chairman suggests a complete Alaskan summer tour covering about thirty days and the approximate ne- cessary expense account per person is placed at $500 from Seattle and return
 Colonel Steese said that next year the commission would confine it's ef- forts to placing the road above high water along Lowe river, and would make the part from Willow creek to Valdez in as perfect shape as travel ing conditions you'd warrant.

VALDEZ TRAIL TO BE

Captain Ward, of the Alaska road commission states that he will have the Valdez end of the Valdez Fair banks road open for travel by the first of July. The road through Key stone canyon, which has been several times damaged by high water, has been abandoned, and the road now runs high enough above the river to avoid any possible damage by the stream, and new bridges across Bear and Sheep creeks will make .his sec tion of the road one of the most sub stantial along the whole highway.

WELL KNOWN MAN
 OF INTERIOR DEAD

N. G. Cox, who was brought to Nenana from Livengood several days ago for treatment for a complication of diseases, died at the government hospital shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon, says the News. He was in critical condition when he ar rived here and small hope was en- tertained for his recovery. Death is attributed to heart disease and dropsy.
 The deceased was one of the most widely known oldtimers in interior Alaska. He was in business for many years at Chatanika and was more recently engaged in business in the Tolovana, where he is survived by wife. He was member of the Fairbanks igloo of Pioneers and prob ably will be buried by that organiza- tion.
 Acting on instructions received from Mrs. N. G. Cox of Tolovana, the local Pioneers shipped the body to Fairbanks, where the funeral of the well known oldtimer was held under the auspices of the Fairbanks igloo, of which the deceased was a member.
 The body was escorted to the Fair banks train by number of Pioneeds and friends
