ROAD OFFICIALS VISIT
 ACCEPT NEW HIGHWAY

1 M. O. williams, aSSlSLanL QlS- trict engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, and Robert J. Summers, highway engineer of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, arrived from the westward Tuesday on the Bureau of Public Roads motor ship Highway.
 The visit of the officials was made in connection with the bureaus local road improve ments, including the Gem etery-Fish Creek section of the Salmon River road, which has been completed by the Johnson-Gardner Co.,, and the Texas Creek wagon road, now under construction by Stems and Carlson, and other local road and trail projects.
 MT. Williams, as head of the Forest bureau road activities in Alaska. inspected and accept ed the Cemetery-Fish Creek unit, 31s miles long and con- structed at a cost to the gov arnment of approximately S115,000. The construction embraced some 34,000 feet of rock work, in addition to four bridges and a considerable number of culverts, drains, etc. As the contract did not include 'urfacing, that work is now being done by the local Bur- eau of Public Roads road crew under superintendent Thos. H. Evans.
 The completion of this pro- feet will provide local traffic with splendid new highway, of the most substantial char acter, extending from the cem- etery, a short distance north )f town, to the vicinity of g. Mile. Being constructed along he mountain slopes, and at a considerably higher elevation thant the old highway, traffic o and from the upper valley will no longer be impeded by he frequent floods which made the old road almost inn passable at times. The Bureau of Public Roads is justly en- titled to receive the grateful hanks of the community for installing this much needed improvement.
 MT. Williams also inspected he Texas Creek road project, where Seims and Carlson, con- ractors, have two camps in op- eration and have a crew of about 60 men employed at clearing, grubbing and grad .ng. The work is being carried )n in the most efficient and expeditions manner by the vet }ran contracting firm and MT. Williams was greatly pleased at the excellent progress so :ar achieved.
 The outlook at present is that Ill grading will be completed over the Az mile course for which appropriation has been made by the close of the pres ent season.
 Timber for the new bridge will be hauled to the selected site during the winter and he bridge will be installed 1ext spring by the Bureau of Public Roads. The completion 1f this work will open the new highway to traffic.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 FETES VISITORS

M. D. Williams, assistant dis
 trict engineer of the Bureau of 1 Public Roads and Robert J. Sommers, highway engineer of
 the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners were guests of
 honor at luncheon given by
 the Hyder Chamber of Com
 merce at the Ideal Cafe ban
 quet rooms Friday noon. The
 function was probably the
 most interesting of it's kind so
 far held by that body and not only attracted an unusually large number but was also pro- ductive of widely increased understanding of local road development matters and sof the possibilities for future road construction. Attorney Ernest Blue wsa the chief speaker and outlined the road needs of the Texas Creek area, pointing out that no country could achieve important development until roads had opened the way. Rome did not become great until roads had been built to the utmost limits of her vast empire, MT. Blue de- clared. Texas Creeks holds al- most unlimited ore production possibilities, he said, but pres ent transportation conditions rendered development both costly and difficult. After quoting figures showing the cost of commodities landed in the section are several hundred per cent higher than the orig inal cost, MT. Blue closed with an eloquent and forceful plea for increased road facilities. Various phases of the local de- velopment situation and the road needs of the district were also discussed by s. A. Knowles, superintendent of the Big Missouri, Clay Porter, managing director of the Port ter Idaho, Wm. Gray, head of the Hyder Lumber Co.,, Mall colm Smith, prominent Texas Creek claim ow ner, and Chas. F. Sandford, publisher of the Herald. Curtis Gardner, of the Johnson-Gardner Co.,, and MT. Carlson, of Seims and Carlson, told of some of the difficulties encountered by road construct ors in this section and MT. Chas. Hill, Tacoma visitor, gave graphic example of how roads create development out of his own experience.
 MT. Williams and MT. Som- mers explained the operations of their respective depart partments, pointing out that the apportionment of funds for road work in Alaska is made according to certain fix ed principles and that all pro- jects submitted by the local road officials must be support ed by convincing evidence of their need and must receive the approval of the depart mental heads at Washington before allocation of funds is authorized. MT. Williams call ed particular attention to the fact that road projects are not selected, in accordance with the whims of the officials but are the result of extensive in- vestigation of the needs of each district, in which the claims of each section are care fully weighed and considered before recommendations are made. The amount of funds available is sometimes another imn0rtant factor in making se-

CHAS. BARBEE VICTIM
 OF AUTO ACCIDENT

this week, as a result of the
 death of Charles Barbee in an
 auto accident occurring at the
 upper end of Main Street in
 the piled district shortly after
 midnight Sunday.
 Charlie" 1" as he was familiar.
 ly known to almost everyone in
 the community, had just re-
 turned from a trip to the road
 camp in a car borrowed for
 the occasion from Fred J
 Hughes of the Bureau of Pub.
 lie Roads engineering staff.
 The trip was made primarily
 for the purpose of taking Bob
 Willis back to the camp, where
 he is employed, and the pair
 were accompanied by Miss
 Irene Gladstone, sister of Mrs.
 w. R. Reid, and Hubert Thom-
 as, proprietor of the Boundary
 Gift Shop. After leaving Will
 lis at the camp, the remainder of the party returned to town, and arrived at the junction of International Way and Volun- teer Drive about 1:40 a. m.
 Miss Gladstone and Thomas left the car at this point and proceeded to the Reid resi- dence, a short distance away. After bidding the pair good night, Barbee drove the cal slowly along Volunteer Drive to it's junction with Main St. On arriving at the latter point Barbee, for some reason that has not been clearly establish ed, failed to make the sharp turn into Main Street, with the result that the car plunged thru the wooden railing at the end of the street and fell head long to the tide flat, some eight or ten feet below. The un. fortunte driver was caught be- meath the heavy car as it fell with a resounding crash, and sustained a severe fracture of the skull. When picked up few moments later by persons fro m nearby night resorts who were attracted by the noise. Barbee was unconscious and bleeding freely from a number of ghastly wounds on the head. Ready hands placed the injur- ed man on a stretcher and he was hurried to Stewart hospi- tai in one of the Seppi cars but enroute.
 As no one witnessed the acci- dent, the true facts attending the sad fatality will probably never be known. In the opinion of U. s. Commissioner T. w. Mcdonald and others who ex- the shattered death car the steering gear failed to act when required owing to the breaking of one of the front springs. This view is substanti- ated by the fact that most of the leaves of both front springs were broken, and with half of ' or 8 leaves missing and the additional fact that the only remaining spring on one side bore every every ap- pearance or having broken shortly before the accident. on the end of this brok- en piece, indicate that it had been dragging on the ground for a considerable time prior to the accident. Mr. Thomas states that both Barbee and himself knew the car was out of order and for this reason Babree drove no faster than five miles per hour on the trip down the valley.

She stood in the center of the room,

There is nothing that you buy that

How gloriously the flowers bloom in

How perfectly simple 1t will be to

Sally didn't know what to say. She
didn't want him to sit down. but he
seemed to take 1t for granted. What

She decided to be cool and com

''Of course not" she said graciously.

He sat down and took his cigarette
case from his pocket.
Wont YOU have one" he offered.
Now he was coming across the room
to her. Her fingers shook a little as
she took a cigarette from the case.
and a moment later he was lighting
it for her The match f1ared up
against her soft childish features.
She inhaled and took the cigarette
from her mouth, and in that moment
George Britton leaned down and
kissed her lightly full on the lips.
She sprang to her feet. the color hot
in her cheeks. every line of her full
of fierce Indignation.
"How dare you do such a thing?"
She drew the back Of her hand
across her mouth as though TO wipe
away the hateful touch of his kiss.
There were tears in her eyes.
George Britton was amazed and
slightly amused. Even If this girl
were only half as innocent as she
seemed she must know something
about the way her sister behaved.
Then, too, she had had quite a fiirta-
ton with that nicelooking young
radio man on the ship. He had often
seen them together sitting in the
moonlight.
"Oh, come now" he said banter
ingly, that wasn't so dreadful. You're
very sweet, you know; no man could
have done less"
At that moment Myra burst into
the room. She was humming a little
tune and looked very smart. In her
hands she held numerous little pack
ages suspended on twisted tapes. She
stopped and stared.
The situation was unmistakable.
Sally's shocked, frightened face and

ment erased from his features. He
had been making love to Sally.

DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY ROBERT i. DICKSON.

Monday afternoon.
II would not be so had to be laid up
with game foot if you could sit
in a wheel chair on hospital sun
porch and watch about half q dozen
beautiful nurses put roses and things
in vases, and have them bring you
orangeade, but it is not so good to be
laid up at home, because your wife
does not give you very much attention
and the kind you do get is nothing to
lock up in the treasure chest of your
heart, or whatever they call it In those
books that talk like that.
When we woke up this morning
Joan said. "Hod does your foot feel?'
and / said, "The darn thing seems to
hurt worse than it did last night"
and we looked at it, and 1T seemed
to look worse. too. and Joan said,
IN call the office and tell them that
you can't get down"
So she got up and gave the baby
his bottle. and she said. Can you
walk to the table for breakfast, or
must I bring It to you in bed?" and
from the way she said 1t, l thought
had better walk to the table, and did,
and my foot hurt like heck, and !
think you should keep a crutch or two
around the house, .acause you never
know what is going TO happen to you
these days.
Wen. we had breakfast and Joan
washed the dishes, and she said, I'm
going down to the basement now to
do the baby's washing. III put him
in his buggy and you can amuse him
until l get back, and I will give him
his bath then" and she did, and she
started out with a big basket of
clothes. and / said. MY gosh, do you
have to do that many just for him
every week." and Joan said, Are you
trying to kid me? / do this much and
more for him every other day" l said,
oh
Joan said, Ibid you say something
yesterday about housework and TAX
ing care of a baby being easy?' and 1
said, WAS that the downstairs bell?
Maybe it's the postman."
So Joan went out and I started to
amuse the baby and shook his rattle
for him a while and then 1 gave it to
him, but he did not want it, and he
just sat back and put his thumb in his
mouth and looked me over, and said,

and dislikes Of each other, and the re-
suit is apt to be tolerance on the
part of both, accompanied by the feel.
ing that the tolerance must be exer-
cised that the other may find the
visit enjoyable.
Now, as matter Of fact, the toler-
ance should be wholly on the side of
the hostess, that the guest may have
a thoroughly enjoyable, thoroughly
comfortable time. When the visit is
returned, the reverse is true. A guest
in ones house should never be made
uncomfortable or made to tolerate
entertainment that is distasteful, be-
cause the hostess feels 1t to be the
correct thing to entertain her guest
Since the young man is shy, let him
indulge in his diffidence in peace-let
him walk in the lovely woods near
your home; let him lounge on your
veranda in the swing: let him smoke
his smelly pipe, and, above all, do not
drag in the fair sex. He will have a
lovely time. which is what you asked
him to visit you for, is 1t not?

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Taking a Brodie. "

Did you hurriedly, and without
maAng sure, carelessly transcribe
many words you were doubtful about
because it was getting later every
minute. and it was Wednesday night?
Or
Did you speak harshly to your new
queen of the kitchen the night just
before the party?
In either case. you were taking a
Brodie," that is, taking more or less
of a chance. counting disappointment
and perhaps catastrophe.
Taking a chance is called taking a
BrOdie" because many years ago a
man by the name of Steve Brodie, on
a bet or a dare. is said to have jumped
from the Brooklyn Bridge into the
East River, a drop of many hundred
feet.
Some people doubt whether this ac-
tually took place; but the leap is prob
ably authentic, and ever since this
supposed high dive. Steve Brodie s
name has been linked with taking
chance.
