SULER BACKS UP STEESE
 FUR ROAD FUNDS
ARDENT FRIEND OF ALASKA AL. WAYS ON JOB WHEN TERRl-
 ToRY's INTERESTS LOOM

When General Lord, director of the
 Budget, last year endeavored to pare down the Alaska Road Commission
 estimates to $6OO,OOO from $9O0,OOO
 as presented by Brigadier General
 Jas Gordon Steese, William Sulzer, former governor of New York, ap- peared on the scene armed with facts
 and figures and convinced Congress that Steese was right.
 According to advices from Wash ington, the same situation presented itself this year, and MT. Sulzer has been assured by the director of the Budget that the estimate of $9OOOOO
 will pass. This, with the s2O0,0OO allowed by the Territory of Alaska, will assure s1,1OO,OoO for road work during the next year
 In brief submitted to the director of the Budget and the appropriations committes of Congress, Mir. Sulzer said:
 "Alaska's vast area is divided into many mining precincts. Compara- lively few of these districts are easy of access. Transportation is the problem; good roads the solution.
 Having spent more than 25 years mining in various parts of Alaska, I can testify to the loss and the ob- stacles, due to lack of transportation.
 During the last 25 years my ef- forts have been in the Chandelar and the White River mining districts, and the facts herein presented are not exceptional cases, but representative of the average mining precincts, not served by rail or water transporta- tion in Alaska.
 Barring the camps that are served by rail, or water, I contend that there is more than one-third of all expended, or the values of the minerals taken from the ground, in Alaska, has been consumed by the single item, excessive freight costs. due directly to lack of roads. In other words, roads enabling the eco- homie hauling of freight to and from the mines will make a saving of more than one-third of the total cost or output.
 "To the uninitiated, this statement may seem incredible, but not to the mining men, in Alaska, who have been thru the mill.
 "The Chandelar mining district an important gold quartz and placer camp, has been worked continuously since discovery. The gold thus far produced exceeds five hundred thou sand dollars, and of this production, nore than one-half has been expend- d in handling of supplies and ma ,hinery to the mines. Two hundred thousand dollars of this tremendous reight cost has been a loss due to | he fact that there is no road to the Jhandelar mining district.
 More serious still is. the fact that ack of transportation makes impos- ible the development of this great old quartz and placer district.
 "The tremendous mineral resources n the White River mining district re still more inaccessible.
 Our transportation costs in thesa wo districts have exceeded $50. O.OOO. nd l

 Now, if Reddy had been real smart and had really done a little thinking, he might have suspected that the blackness of that water had something to do with that queer fa, low he had been watching rhare had been one of those queer fellows m that pool which had turned black, and there was one here hid den somewhere beneath this black ness. But Reddy didn't think of this lie couldn't think of anything hut the mystery of that black cloud in the water. He even forgot that he didn't know what made the snlasb that frightened him. Where does that come from?" he demanded looking up at Graywing.
 Where does what come from on inquired Graywing. pretending that he didn't understand.
 That black water" said Reddv.
 oh' that comes from the ink maker. Didn't you know that?" in quired Graywing.
 The ink maker, Who is the ink maker?' asked Reddy, looking very much puzzled.
 You ought to know him by this time" said Graywing.
 Why ought l to know him ?" de- nanded Reddy rather sharply.
 'Because you've been looking at 1tm long enough to know him." re- orted Graywing.
 Reddy stared all about in the most puzzled way. "I don't see any nk maker" said he.
 "Of course you don't" retorted iraywing. Hes hidden under his 'wn ink" Then Reddy suspected the truth. 1 Do-do-do you mean to say that hat queer fellow who swims back fard made the water turn black?" e inquired.
 I'm glad you've walked up,r huckled Graywing. That is exact what I mean. He is the ink mak- r. He is a Squid."

 Not that I wanted to refuse. Mir. Seritzen was so charming a host, as royal in entertaining as he was fascinating in conversation. His was subtle air of deference which would have captivated any woman. and l found myself looking forward to those luncheon hours with dis tinctly pleasurable anticipation.
 Then one day the man who was working with us was summoned away just as we were leaving the oftice for the restaurant. It appear ed very plausible thing, and Il thought nothing of it, especially AS the next time I came to the office there were four in our luncheon party.

The remembrance of all these things made my reply almost curt.
 "Mr Veritzen," I said quickly. q am sorry. but I cannot lunch with you today"
 He gave me quick, keen look, then crossed the room and put a delicate and compelling clasp upon my arm.

Jack yawned. The yawn was almost a

as though he were trying very hard to re-
member something, and as though the ef-
fort hurt him. Bewilderment was in his

was hidden. His memory was gone.
Nancy had known this before their mar

his name or his past. Only when the
strange despair came into Jacks express
sion did she fear. Then, indeed, she felt
terror-nOt that he himself might be taken
from her, but that he might grow sadder,
more wretched, more melancholy She knew
not what she feared.

and in their hearts.
Nancy's words were in Jacks mind the
whole of that day. As disappointment fol-
lowed disappointment, and as his eagerness
sank under successive blows, he needed all
the pluck that he could muster. But he did

battered his feet upon the bare floor, threw
back the bed clothes and stood to his full

his head and an upper lip and left his

succeeded every such effort.
