NNHiN IT . ott. l. mCtdGIny De 1 ing, as 1t is, the junction between the steel and the trail, has more oppor- tunity of seeing travellers to and from the creeks than any other place. Sometimes cheeChako strolls through, perhaps on prospecting bent. though prospectors just now are few and far between, or looking for a job, realizing that a sure one for the sea son at $500 day and board, even though a ten-hour 50v is infinitely better than the same wages outside es- pecially when jobs are doubtful. Occasionally we see a motion pic ture man taking his apparatus over to the creeks to reproduce the big hy. draulic plants for the benefit of those who have never travelled this far
 It frequently happens that these people see q cleanup for the first time and are greatly impressed thereat, ma. turally they will remember all they have seen and go on their way telling of the wonderful resources of the coun- try, the big nugget seen and then some.
 There are wonderful resources in the country, if we were not positive of it we would not be here, but unfor- tunately some people have a bad habit of greatly exaggerating what they see, especially if it's gold in a pan.
 Recently, one of these cheechakos gold in a prospecting pan, and, re- turning to the coast reported that a certain prospector had struck ground which ran BIO to the wheelbarrow.
 CTo old and experienced prospectors. this is to laugh and make glad, for if there were any ground handy which ran $2O to the wheelbarrow, there would soon be a big stampede. such as all pioneers long to see again..
 This has been proved to be a gross oNaggeration as private letters to resi- dents of Mccarthy from the claim owner. state that pans have not gone higher than thirty cents and never less than two cents. and he further states that the ground would not pay to work except by hydraulic methods, SO that he plans on installing hy- draulic plant next season, if possible. as it would be a good money getter.
 Exaggerated reports on mining in mining country do not tend to en- courage the mining industry.
 Those who are temporarily influ- enced to prospect will throw up their hands, if they do not get these amaz- ing results. and the prospective buy CT will get so disgusted that even though adjacent claims should turn out to be Bonanzas afterwards. they will all be classified as wild cats which all gives the country a black eye, deters legitimate mining deals and holds Alaska back just at the time when she needs all the legitimate boosting that every one can give her.

Hanson Automobile and Tractor
School Great Success

The Hanson Automobile and Trac-
tor school, Fargo, North Dakota, own
ed and conducted by August Hanson,
formerly manager for the j. I. Case
Threshing Machine Company, is call
ing the readers attention to the i'm
portance of getting a mechanical
training. This school has met with
wonderful success. The second term
they graduated over 1000 students.
Over 1000 have attended the past
three years. The boys are given
the practical training, that is, they
take magnetos, starters, generators
and motors apart, assemble and test
them out, the instructor explaining
how and why it works. The school
has over twenty-six different types
of the latest tractors on which STU
dents get practical training, all types
automobile motors, starters, generat-
ors, ETC., teaches the storage battery
work very thoroughly, how to take
them apart, rebuild, charge and test.
The school teaches all kinds Of tire
vulcanizing also acetylene welding,
lathe work, steam engineering as well
as grain separator operation, how to
adjust sieves for threshing different
kinds of grain, belt lacing, pulley lag
ging ETC., also farm machinery train
ing such as adjusting plows, etc. This
school also gives salesmanship and
shop management so when stu
dent has completed his course, he is
well fitted to handle any garage job
or operate any tractor in the field
with the best Of success.
Tractor manufacturers and garages
throughout the country call upon this
school for mechanics. Over 40 per-
cent of last years graduates were
placed in good paying positions. Many
have quit farming and taken a course
in this school and started shops of
their own whereby they have made
good deal more money than by
farming.

ment may reach $25O,O0O, 900. In other
words, it will be necessary to plan
for construction at the rate Of at least
$100,000,O0O and probably more per
year. Some appreciation Of what that
means may be cleaned from the fact
that In 1915 the expenditure for all
roads in the United States, construct
ed under state supervision, was only
$8O,OOOO0O.
"Since 1915, however, state highway
departments have been greatly expand.
ed, and efficient machinery has been
developed which will undoubtedly be
able to handle the greater volume Of
work.

at least year in advance what funds

Unless, therefore. further federal ac-
tion is taken in the coming year, the
states will be left In doubt as to the
future policy Of the government, aud

Chicago Buyer Here to Bid for Potato
Cn0n

William j. Fox, Of the Peter Fox
Sons Co., So. Water ST., Chicago: has
been in this vicinity several days look.
ing up the potato situation with .
view Of buying potatoes in car lots
for shipment to Chicago. He re.
turned to Chicago Wednesday and
will return in ten days, about the
time the potato harvest begins. He
visited Ryder and Douglas, in com.
pany with C. H. Sorensen, who will
buy potatoes for his company and re-
ports the yield averaging about $50
bushels per acre there. He expects
to bid for the Berthold. Makoti and
Burlington potatoes. Mr.. Fox in-
forms the Independent that potatoes
at present are high in Chicago. A
week ago, they were quoted at $4.OO
per hundred, but the price this week
had dropped to 1925. He was in no
position to say just what the price
would be when the buying begins,
stating that it depends largely on how
rapidly the potatoes from the west
are shipped in and how willing the
people of the cities are to lay in their
winters supply. If the city folks
can see that the price is apt to re-
main high all winter, they will not be
slow in stocking up for the winter.
Some of the large Chicago hospitals
use six cars Of potatoes during the
winter. Mr.. Fox believes that the
price the North Dakota growers will
be offered for their potatoes will be in
the neighborhood of $1.5O per bushel.
The freight rate on the product from
Minot to Chicago is 68 cents per
hundred and a commission of $3O 90
a car is usually charged.
Mr.. Fox said that the potatoes from
this district are of much finer quail
ity than those of the Red River val
ley, in fact no superior potatoes are
grown in the United States than those
from this locality. Idaho grew a
big crop of potatoes this year but
the freight rate from that state to
Chicago is $1.70 per hundred. The
Wisconsin crop will be small unless
the frost holds off. The potatoes
are yet small, but may get chance
to grow.

1.-THE last apportionment Of federal
funds to the state In road cOnstruc-

became available July l." said Mr..
Mcdonald, chief Of the bureau of pub
lie roads.
"This Is the largest appOrtionment
yet certified under the Federal aid act,
amounting to $1OO,OOO,OOO, three-quar-
ters of which is derived from the ap-
preparation of 1919 and $25,OOO,OO
from the original appropriation of
1916. A deduction of $3,OOO,OOO, or 3
per cent Of the funds, will be made
to provide. for the expense Of admin
istering the federal aid act by the
Department Of Agriculture. The bal
ance of $97,OOO,OOO will be divided
among the states in proportion to their
population, area, and mileage Of post

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE.
Farmers Cannot Haul Produce 70
Market When Prices Are HIGH
on Account Of Highways.

It is a well-established fact that
market prices for even staple crops
vary considerably throughout the year,
Where bad roads prevail, farmers are
frequently unable to avail themselves
Of favorable prices. Il is common for
farmers to find that they cannot haul
their produce to market when prices
are highest, because the roads are i'm.
