 BE EEMPLOYEDON MOOSE PASS ROAD
BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS DE- APARTMENT WILL DO WORK
 ITSELF; DAY LABOR
All Bids Were Turned Down
Highway Engineer J. B. Reher Now In District On Official Trip
 of Inspection.

Forty men will be at work in a few days on Section No. 3, Moose Pass road, under the supervision of c. H. Keil, of the Bureau of Public Roads, for, according to informa ton from the local office today, a tele- gram was received from the Juneau office to the effect the department itself will construct five miles of the road this season and complete the remainder of the section, of four miles next summer. This piece of road construction was recently ad. vertised by the department and nu- merous bids were received, among which was that of Seims & Carlson. The decision to carry on the project under day labor by the department, was reached after several days of close scrutiny of the bids.
 Other road work in the Moose Pass district has kept about 15 men en- ployed Twenty-Five more men will be employed immediately. One camp is already established but it is be- lieved two more camps will be erect ed at advantageous points along the new road. With the shipping of an- other five ton tractor from Seward to the district there will be two tractors of this type on the ground :: two road graders, three trucks and 1000 feet of track, stationed with dump cars.

Look for Complete Shutdown

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. (P)-The belief was expressed today that sus- pension of hard coal operations would be ordered by the United Mine Work CTS officials at the expiration of the present wage agreement, August 30, unless intervention is made, which is not likely The situation is virtually the same as in 1923 when negotiations failed and suspension of mining re- mained effective until Governor Pin chot intervened. Both sides then agreed, and as result the miners re- ceived a ten per cent increase.
 At the present time 15S, ,OOO men and boys are employed in the hard coal fields.
 The miners are asking ten per cent raise in wages for tonnage and a dollar day increase for men en- ployed outside of mining operations, with a two years contract and com plete union recognition.

Officialdom had no charm, however, except as an oppor- tunity to be of service. The deter mining influence of acceptance was the expressed intention in high off, cial circles to take Alaska in hand and do something constructively and substantially toward it's development. That made the prospect decidedly inviting.
 Life in the last of American from tiers, off the beaten track, is full of enjoyment, different, and I shall ever treasure my experience in that won derland and count it one of the hap piest interludes of my career. The adage "Once an Alaskan always an Alaskan" holds literally true with me. Juneau, in the natural beauty of it's environment and the fine cos mopolitan character of it's popula- tion, if not it's physical aspects, is an altogether charming little capital Existence cannot become irksome there, or, indeed, in any of the larg- CT communities of the North.

 FORCED TO GIVE UP

LONDON, Aug. 5 (P)-Lieutenant Colonel Bernard Freyburg, a world war hero, and holder of the Victoria Cross, was forced to abandon an at- tempt to swim the English channel, after battling with treacherous tides and currents for 16 hours and 45 min utes. He started from Cape Grisnez and stopped 66O yards from the Eng fish coast. Freyburg was so over- come by the long, cold swim, that he had to be lifted from the water into a boat which accompanied him.
