Anton Eide head of the Alaska road commission for this district, was on the beach at this port when the first load of argonauts landed and started to clear off site for town. He car ried the winter mail from Seward to the Cook Inlet country for many years, through all kinds of weather, and later joined with the road commission, be- ing responsible for many of the good highways in this vicinity. MT. Eide constructed the bridge over Snow River for the Alaska Central, portions of which structure are still standing. Don't you think his story will be in teresting? He has seen a town grow amid the stumps on Resurrection Bay, and helped chop the timber that made the stumps.

Chulitna News Notes
By Special Correspondent

Douglas J. Mckenzie former res

 place for an Alaskan, it is stated, be- 1 sides it is rather tough sledding on
 the Pacific slope.
 Chulitna was the scene of much ac- | tivity recently owing to the swift
 waters taking out Montana bridge, on the railroad. The freight train had to side-track for the regular passen- ger trains, resulting in the switching l being made at this point.

Both got the limit of sheep and caribou. They spent few days in Chulitna and dur ing their stay there, MT. Elkins bag ged fine brown bear. Both men are very enthusiastic about Alaska and are coming back again next summer. Jim Gray, a licensed guide, piloted Dr. Getzlaff and MT. Elkins about, on the hunt.
 Moose Johnson and Harry Wertz, the men who have put Chulitna on the map, are doing assessment work on the Homestake Group, located down stream from their big ruby silver lay out. The partners have traced the ruby silver lead for three thousand feet, and it shows up equally as good on all points exposed.
