except a grave robber who has
exclusive right to all District
cemeteries, and believes he saw
Tina lettering in one of his con-
CeSSlonS during an electric storm.
AS a flash of lightning H.
Illuminated the graveyard, he either
actually saw or imagined he saw
Tina browsing about among the
jirn-sa mSon weeds and pansy
patches. He isn't positively sure,
but believes it was either Tina
or one Of the tombstones.
Anyway, this fellow is we'll
known to the police of all pre-
cincts. He called in to the near
est station house, and after re-
vealing his identity as Washing
toms master grave robber, re-
ported the incident in full.
A hurried run to the particular
cemetery by the riot squad re-
vealed nothing out of the ordinary
except lot Of open graves which
His Nibs hadn't been able to re-
fill owning to the presence of the
police.
Examination of the grass and
contiguous territory indicated
that no elephants had been
squandering their time in that
vicinity, and the riot squad re-
turned to headquarters in a much
disguised frame Of mind.
Tina has been missing ten DAYS
now, and so far as is known has
had neither food nor water. If
she were a camel instead of an
elephant, the latter could be I'M
derstood. but being an elephant
she must have her daily oats.
IF you see Tina here or here
abouts, please feed her a saucer
of milk and notify the nearest
doctor.

But you couldn't tooI that punch
of divot diggers.- Three of 'em had
9O's and two of 'em a pair of 89's.
Things were getting interesting.
Tom Moore was one of those who
had turned in an 80. Long before
the last pair-Charlie Agnew and
Jack Hutchison-had reached the
eighteenth green Tom had fidgetcd
his way almost to the seventeenth
tee.
II began to look as though SO
would be out of the first sixteen.
Tom Moore was on the anxious
seat rs it were. So were Tom
John BraWner, j. #. Daley and
Allen Lard. That last hole meant
q whole lot. You were either in
the select or you wasn't.
To make a long story short Hutch
shot 108, Agnew took seven on the
eighteenth for q 81 and Tom Moore
heaved a sigh of relief. Ninety was
in. But three were tied for the
sixteenth position in the elite.
'Tiny'' Burr, whose sole object in
life seems to be to make every
tournament held in the District a
success, announced in sonorous
tones that two Of those COS were
going to be completely out of luck
Allen Lard, who had one of those
COS. shifted from one Achilles to
the other and announced, "If music
be the food of love, play on"
"Where do you get that play on
stuff" shriehed Burr. Were
going to draw for this" And draw
IL was. Everybody gathered round.
Remember those good old days
when you planked down two bits
for q chance on the turkey, plant.
ed q foot on the rail, and with q
nOnchalant air slipped or some
times blew the foam off the top
of glass of SudS and watched
some disinterested party draw a
number out of the hat?
Well, that's what they pulled out
at Indian Spring. Three names went
into the well-known and famous
benny-Lard's, Kelleher's and Carl
Hookstadt's. You would have
thought somebody's life hung in the
balance. You could have cut the
silence with cheese knife.
We don't know who that disinter
ested party was, but he must have
been good fellow He wore golf
socks. So did Allen Lard, Tom Kel.
leher and Jock Hutchinson. That
made 'em all brothers. The draw
was on the up and up. That dis.
interested party reached up and
drew out a name. ALLEN Lard
announced "Tiny" Burr. So Allen
Lard Is in the first sixteen.
Others who were more fortunate
than Lard and were not held in
suspense were Chris Dunphy, with
an 80; Cliff McKimmie, who shot
an 81; Dwight Partridge and George
Weight, 81 each; Miller B. Stevenson
and Walter McCallum, 81; Edward
Muckerman and Albert r. McKen-
zie, who had 85's; c. H. Fuller, Sc;
Sam Dalzell and S. r. Peelman,
with SIS; E. r. Hart, So; Tom
Moore and J. F. Daley, 80 each,
and last, but not least, lucky Allen
Lard, with 80. This is the first
sixteen.
They are shooting through the
finals today.

AMATEUR FLASHES s. o 5.
 CAUSES STIR ON COAST

4 Juneau boy yet in the short pants age started something recent ly with his amateur radio set when he repeatedly transmitted to and through the air the s. o. s. signal "just for fun" The call was picked up by the Juneau radio station, the coast guard cutter Unalga which was in port and. 1t is said, also by the radio station al Sitka.
 In answer to questions sent out by those receiving the message there were no replies, which led to the be- lief that some amateur was respon- sible. Investigation by Chief of Police Keegan and others soon To- cated the cause of the commotion. The boy was taken into custody but later allowed to go to his home to await whatever action may be taken in the case. .".@.~ :=

over the railway from Colonel Mears
 Coordination of transportation facilities and activities will simplify Federal appropriations. Hereafter there will be but one fund. With the completion of the railroad and the necessity of building feeders, Congress will be asked to author ize a ten-year roadbuilding pro gram involving an expenditure of S10,OOO.O00. The ten-year idea was first suggested in 1915. but the financial demands of the railroad limited appropriations for roads and trails. The comprehensive plan now should receive consideration.
 Development of Alaska's re- sources depends on making them ac- cessible by improved transportation facilities.
The Nenana news., 1923-03-06

Probably the report from Wash ington that Colonel Mears will be detached from the Alaskan Engin- eering Commission, at it's head, on May l. and that he will be sue ceeded by Colonel Steese, of the Alaska Road Commission, and that Major Gotwals will be vice-chairman undoubtedly came as a surprise to most Alaskans, says the Valdez Miner. Having directed the contruc- ton of the major portion of the railroad, the natural supposition was that Colonel Mears would continue as the head of the commission and direct the operation of the road, now that it is practically completed.
 Persons acquainted with Colonel Mears, however, assert that such was not his wish; that having built the road he is content to leave its oper- ation to others while he, if he wishes are gratified, will be detailed to another construction project
 Colonel Mears has, in the contruc- ton of the Alaska railroad, demon strated that he is a construction en- gineer of ability. The completed road is one in which he may take just pride and demonstrates his fit ness to undertake even greater tasks and the railroad was a great one. With Alaskans Colonel Mears and his work will always be intimately associated and when he leaves the

REPORTS ORE
 OF VALUE AT WHEATON

The WhiteAorse Star is authority for the statement that Adam Bernie Happy" Burnside and Fred Me Glashen are quite jubilant over striking ore in their new tunnel which they started some months ago 300 feet lower down the hill than the old tunnel They have been working on it all winter, and only recently they struck a body of high grade ore.
 This body of ore came in on the hanging wall, but in a short distance shot directly over to the foot wall The walls are well defined and at present are a little over five feet apart. The ore is of the same char acter as that found in the old tun- nel.
 This will undoubtedly make a paying mine of the Tally-Ho, as ten tons of ore taken from the old tun- nel and shipped a few years ago averaged upward of fifty dollars 10 the ton in gold. The property is in the Wheaton district and about 35 miles back from Robinson sta- ton on the White Pass railroad.

gauging of fifty-five miles between Nenana and Fairbanks the system of All miles is completed. Its cost totals s62,000,000. Throughout the period of construction, it has trans ported freight and passengers to the extent of its facilities. Its traf- fic has steadily increased but re- ceipts have not yet equaled operat- ing expenses. Except for a period during the World War, Col. Fred erick Moars, present chief of the Railway Commission has been ac- lively engaged in the contraction of the system. He has been eminent ly successful in solving difficult engineering problems and in ad- ministering the affairs of the en- terprise. His work has evoked the highest praise. The railroad is a monument to his probity and ability

During its existence it has expended s6,687, 1909, built 3,854 miles of roads and trails and con- tructed numerous bridges, ferries and tramways.

TRANSPORTATION IN ALASKA

Placing the construction of roads and trails and the operation of the Government Railroad in Alaska un- der one head should help both ac- tivities and make more efficient their service to the Northland, says the Seattle Times. Road and trail work in Central and Southwestern Alaska must be planned so as to promote traffic for the railroad and make available to residents in those regions the use of the steel trans portation system.
 Railway operation, no doubt, will disclose instances where branch rail lines will be superior to roads and trails and in such case, with all work directed by one office, there will be no duplication of expendi- ture but instead the adoption of the better idea. In eoordinating transpor- tation activities, the railway will be transferred from the Interior De partment, which has had charge of the systems construction, to the War Department which always has exercised control over roads and trails.
 The work of building the railroad began in 1915. Except for the broad

Their connection with the Alaska Road Commission has put them in touch with all parts of the Terri tory; they know its transportation needs, and they may be depended on to give Alaska the best possi- ble service the conditions warrant
