SHOUP IS UPHELD BY
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT
in HYDER INCIDENT

Tho action of U. S. Attorney A.
G. Shoup in ordering the removal OF
all structures from the 60foot re-
served strip on the American side
of the border at Hyder has been
affirmed by Attorney General
Daugherty, according to informa-
ton received today by Mr.. Shoup
from Washington. The order for
removal of the structures was issued
some time ago and aroused some
antagonism at Hyder.
Protests. said Mr.. Shoup, were
sent to the Attorney General and
other officials by the Hyder Com
mercial Club. Mr.. Shoup was also
advised that the Attornel General
had communicated direct with the
Hyder commercial organization in
forming it he had upheld the action
OF the District Attorney.
The reserve in question was ere
ated by an executive order issued
during President William H. Taft's
administration. The tract was set
aside for the purpose of facilitating
the enforcement OF customs and i'm
migration laws.

Growing scarcity of timber for tie

is reported by Col Frederick Mears,

Commission in wire received this
morning at local Forest Service head
quarters. He is asking that certain

furnishing ties for the year. It is
believed that the consequent bids

NOME RAILROAD
CHANGES HANDS,:
TRANSFER MADE
Capt. c. S. Ward Takes Over
Property for Territory
Pay $4,000 Cash.

The Seward Peninsula Railroad
has been formally transferred 10
the Territory by the Pioneer Mining
Company, according to statement
made today by Col. James G. Steese
President of the Alaska Road Com
mission. Capt. C. S. Ward, Assistant
Engineer Officer of the Commission,
took possession of the property for
the Territorial Government, the
transfer being made at Nome.
The actual cost of the property
was $4,000. The price named was
$4,000 but the mining company
discounted that 1000 in considera-
ton for an immediate cash payment.
A warrant was drawn several days
ago and signed by the Territorial
Treasurer for the former amount.
A deed to the railroad and accom-
panying property is now enroute
from San Francisco to Nome for
record.
The acquisition of the road. X
was stated, was accomplished so late
in the season as to prevent any COM
prehensive rehabilitation work be-
ing undertaken. A galloway will
be erected at Iron Creek to facilitate
winter traffic but beyond that moth
ing will be done. Several hundred
thousand feet of timber has been
occurred by the Alaska Road Com
,,,;c hn orrnU most
at st. Michael and will be used in
putting the road in operating shape.
This timber is being shipped across
Norton Sound to Nome this Fall
and will be on the ground ready
when next seasons work begins
Other material for rehabilitation
will also be assembled during the
winter, Under the agreement made
between the Alaska Road Commits
sion and the Territory, the main
tenance of the property and re-
sponsibility for its operation is und-
ertaken by the former organiza-
ton.
The Commission has made a thor
ough study Of the road and its
equipment during the past two sea-
sons. Col. Steese and Co. Gotwals
were both over it last year and
Capt. Ward has spent several
months in that district this year.
The latter will leave Nome within
the next day or two fer Seattle,
coming out on the Victoria. From
Seattle he will come to juneau.
