Rail Extension Would
 Tap Arctic Mine Zone

Panama, Alaska, Aug. [ P>-An extension of the Alaska railroad from Fairbanks to the Yukon river and thence north along the Chand- alar river, a survey would tap an undeveloped area north of Brooks range 500 miles long and 100 wide.
 Placer mining camps have pushed beyond the Arctic circle into the foothills south of Brooks range Stories are told here of prospectors who reached the top of the range but dependent on rifle and fish hook for food, did not go on to work streams flowing north to the Arctic ocean.
 Streams whose heads are known to cut into q line formation capping the Brooks range bear nuggets of gold, silver and copper in raw state. indicating mineral deposits in the divide region. A bed of black gold has been reported in the extreme north on the Arctic slope near the government oil reserves.
 The Alaska railroad, built by the government, runs from Seward on the Pacific ocean to Fairbanks, 125 miles east of here and the same distance south of the Arctic circle.

ALL MADE FOR
PARK COUNTY FAIR

The 1926 Park County fair, to
be held at Powell, Wyoming, for
two days = September 10th and
11th-is to be a good fair, and the
entertainment to be provided is the
best that the board of directors
with the means at hand were able
to arrange for. The superintend-
ents of all exhibit departments are
enthusiastic in their several lines,
and the agricultural, livestock and
fruit exhibits should be SO abun-
dam as to prove a worthwhile sight
to anyone attending.
1t is admitted that certain fea-
lures in the program which would
necessitate much expense are lack
ing, but much is being accomplished
in the face of many obstacles and
the 1926 Park County fair will be
an event that is really worth while.
In addition to the plans for the
local fair exhibits, arrangements
are being made to exhibit Park
county products at both the Bill
lings and Douglas fairs.
AS the time for the fair is rap
idly approaching, the directors are
more frequently holding meetings
and making fair plans, getting the
grounds in shape and seeing to the
one hundred and one details that
are most necessary to a fairs sue
cess.
A fair in Powell has never yet
proved a failure. Now with the
whole county back of the plan and
the county commissioners contri-
buting literally for premiums, the
fair this fall should prove to be a
success.
Go to the Park county Fair. 1t
will only cost you fifty cents. There
are no extra charges. The general
admission admits you to any part
of the grounds, including the grand
stand.

SHOSHONE FOREST TO
MARKET TIMBER CROP
(Margaret Hayden)

Chas. Burnett, lumber inspector
of the Burlington, was a recent
visitor on the Shoshone forest,
making an inspection of the timber
stands. particularly along the North
and South Forks. Commenting up
on the impressiveness of the res
ervoir, Mr.. Barnett stated that with
a floating floor of timber ties, the
beauty of Shoshone lake would be
complete.
Next to protection from fire, the
actual sale of its crop is a forest
service priority, and in the words
of the Burlington inspector. 1.-THE
Forest Service wants to market
timber-we need the ties"
The Burlington deals with over
seven hundred private individuals;
they are interested solely in the
small operator, and many of them.
The main point the stress is as
surance of market, regardless of
quantity.
Among those at present tapping
the industry on the Shoshone is
j. H. Vogel, operating under the
name of the Star Mercantile, Mill
and Lumber company.
For many years the Burlington
has been using ties from the Black
Hills, and with this westward trend
the Shoshone with it's million and
a half acres may 500 contribute
of its economic as well as aesthetic
wealth.
