MANY BID ON BRIDGES
 FOR GOVERNMENT R.R.

SEATTLE, Nov. 10.-Major c. E.. Dole, purchasing agent for the Alaska railroad, with headquarters in Seat tie, announced that he had received 13 bids for 30 steel bridges to be erect ed along the line of the northern rail road.

 The proposed steel structures will consist of 27 small bridges, and 3 large ones. The most extensive will be a 400 foot span over the Nenana river 37O miles north of Seward. The 27 smaller bridges will be in stalled from Mile 432 north. There is to be steel viaduct at Mile 292 which will be 24O feet long. The plans also contemplate the erection of steel bridge over the Talkeetna river at Mile 227. This last will be 400 feet long. The name of the suc- cessful bidder will be published this week.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
 LITTLE INDIAN GIRL
Dawson News

The three Peel River Indians, Ben iamin Kendi, John Smith and James Francis, who arrived here from their camp at the head of Twelvemile river last week, reported that the 12-year old daughter of Richard Martin had accidentally met death by falling with a hunting knife in her hand.
 It appears, from what the Indians say, that Tabitha asked her father for the knife for the purpose of cut ting fresh brush for her camp bed. Richard refused to let her have it be- cause it was sharp. He had recently been dressing caribou with it. How ever in some way the child managed to secure the knife unknown to her parents and was running out of the camp with it in her hand when she fell and the knife penetrated her chest.
 The Indians, including her parents, who were sitting just outside of Rich ards tent, immediately ran to the as- sistance of the child, but found that she was already dead. She was only about two or three yards from the camp when the accident happened.
 Benjamin Kendi states that, having no lumber or nails at their camp, they made coffin for her out of big log which they split in two, following out the center large enough to receive the body and then securely fastening the two halves together again. This style of coffin is usually adopted by the Indians when lumber is not avail able.
 An enquiry into the death of the child has been held by the R. c. M. Police.

 AFTER SHORT SPAN

WALLA WALLA, Wn., Nov. 12.- The Times, a daily newspaper pub lished in this city by union printers, suspended publication the first of the week with a deficit of over $80,000.

Pelky of Seattle, the latter being the northwest representative of the inter national union. Up to September II, 1924, the enterprise had lost over $8O,0OO.O0.
