Big Facts in Simple Questions
BY Rev. S. S. Began.

Dy net. .. D. DOSdH.
Some folks are like weather
cocks. Their humor changes
with every turn in life.
Saturday was cold and rainy
all day, but I noticed that the
folks were on the job, Sunday
was cool with no rain, but who
viii say the folks were all at
church?
If q man runs his business
seven days in a week, he runs it
one day too many. Such haste
makes waste. You will find it so
if you are discerning.
Have you ever thought about
it? THAT in God you live, move
and have your being" That you
are not your own, but bought
with a price. That your life,
health, strength and powers ;
your food, clothes and all you
possess, including your wife,
children and time, are Gods
gifts to you. Think about it and
then ask yourself: Have / been
honest and fair to God and N.Y.
self to leave God, my creator
and benefactor, out of all my
plans?
Some folks say they work
hard all the week and must have
Sunday for rest and recreation.
That plan may seem to work
well for the physical man, but
does it? Little do they know
the value of their best interest
who follow this plan through
their natural life.
There is difference between
knowledge and wisdom that is
worth considering. knowledge
is what you know; wisdom is
the right application of that
knowledge. A man may be
learned and rich, as the world
goes, and yet be a fool. Again,
q man may be ignorant and
poor and yet be very wise man.
It is even so.

STERLING MAKES
RECONNAISSANCE
FOR new TRAIL
Cotwalls Tells of A. R. {. e.
forts to Locate Better
Route to Kuskokwim.

During the pasts winter the Alaska
Road COMMISSIONS staff in the In
terror has been active in an effort
to find a better route to the upper
KuskOkwim country than the one now
in use over Rainy Pass. No definite
trail was located and, although a
reconnaissance was completed of a
route over which in the not very dis
tant future may be utilized, the pres
emit Rainy Pass trail viii not be
abandoned at this time
Railroad to Mines
Col. j. c. Gotwals, Engineer Off
Ger of the Commission. today, refer
ring to this undertaking, said
"a very interesting reconnaissance
was made this winter from the Gov
eminent Railroad to Telida Village
by Superintendent Sterling of the
Alaska Road Commission. This re-
connaissance completed winter and
summer reconnaissance from the
railroad to Berry's Landing near the
Nixon Fork mine on the KuskOkwim.
The especial point aimed at in both
these "Reminiscences was to find
a route if possible improving upon
the present winter TRAN over Rainy
Pass and one that would take account
OF the present concentration of ira
vel to the Kantishna and the Nixon
Fork mine.
Line of Route
THE route followed was from Lig
mite on the Government Railroad
across the Toklat and the Kantishna
hslls to Glacier. From Glacier the
route followed was directly overland
by the straigKtest practicable route
to Tehda Village. The route fol-
lowed was found to be 50 badly
broken up, especially in the portion
between Glacier and Telida Village
that there is doubt whether it can
be successfully followed by a winter
trail. However, the snow conditions
throughout were found to be ex-
cellent and as the conditions from
Tefda Village to Nixon Fork are
well known, winter conditions viii be
uniformly good throughout the en-
tire length.
''By keeping farther to the north
a practicable route is already offered
and can be opened up with little
effort. This route would extend from
KCbi Station on the Government Rail
road through Diamond TO Roosevelt
on the Kantishna River and to KAN
misgaard's cabin at the foot - Lake
Minchumina. From Kammsgaard's
cabin the old Indian trail to Zelda
Village can be followed and from
zelda Village a similar trail to
Berry's Landing on the main Kusko-
kwim, 40 miles overland from Nc
Grath.
"There are number of advantages
to this route over the sIlainy Pass
route. Snow and winter conditions
are uniform and excellent through

out. The location of Kammisgaard' S
which win offer a plentiful supply of
dog feed and an excellent place to
summer dogs used upon the trail
However. the arrangement of shelter
must be provided for before travel
ers can use this route with any as
surance. Mr. Wernccke, Mining En-
gineer for the Treadwell Company
came over this route this winter and
while it was necessary to do consid
erabie snowshoeing he suffered no
especial hardship. The concentration
of travel Of men going into the Kan
tishna between Kobi and Diamond
is a great advantage in helping to
keep the trail open.
Depends on Travel
at is not known whether it would
be advisable everything considered,
to shift travel from the Rainy Pass
route to this route. However, if
travel shows a tendency to follow
this northern route distinct improve
ments can be made in the same. In
the meantime so long as the Rainy
Pass route remains the chief travelled
one, effort will be continued in keep
ing it open and improving it. The
chief thing held in mind is that the
Kuskokwim will be for many years
served by winter dog trails. The
best known route will be concen-
trated upon by this Commission and
every encouragement will be given
to roadhouse keepers and others in
terested in keeping the trail open
until a distinct Improvement can be
made by shifting to different route.
The known route at present is the
Rainy Pass. The northern route,
X ant!shna-Berry's Landing
may prove ito he the better in the
future"
