FOOD SHORTAGE KENAI DISTRICT. TRAILS ARE
 BLAMED, POOR SHAPE

'It's time someone rose up on their hind legs and roar to the heavens of the conditions, in this day and age, on Kenai peninsula" asserted Char les Wagner yesterday. MT. Wagner is paying his first visit to Seward in many years, "and it will be many more years before I come back" he added, unless road and trail / condi- tions down there show big improve ment"
 Hast year, on account of poor trail conditions the citizens of our big re- zion ran short of food supplies and the same trouble confronts us again this winter. For light loads the trail in fair weather is passable but when we wish to haul in real tonnage, good night!
 Right now I am in Seward for the express purpose of buying medicinal supplies for .Bilp Inglehart who had the misfortune to freeze his feet re- gently. Your Captain Guthrie Is out in that country now and say. he will have something to tell you, I'll bet, when he returns. We are principally short of bacon, sugar, butter and eggs right now and these everyday neces- sitys of life are forbidden us because ingress and egress to the district is next to impossible.
 For six days, short time back, Deputy U S. Marshal Fursman lay at the point of death-with a bfbken leg-for we hestitated to make the extremely rough trail trip with him, The airplane finally came. down and carried him to hospital That's what I call tough conditions; a condition which am certain, if presented to the Bureauof Public Roads de- partment, or the Alaska. Road Com mission, would be taken care of at once. Us citizens down there will give our everlasting thankfulness if you can help us in this matter. - Another instance I might as well call your attention to is the trip Al Hardy and. I have just completed. Chas. West everybody in Seward knows Charlie-was taken seriously ill last week with stomach ailment We took chance of killing him by taking him over the rough, what might be called a trail-path to the railroad. A train came along headed toward Anchorage and we showed him on it. We would have sent him to Seward if the first train happened to be coming this way; but it wasn't. That was just the other day. It took 1 us with the best dog team we could get together, more than A hours of 
 steady pounding away, relaying, to go the 90 odd miles. That's poor time with good dogs"
 l MT. Wagner then went on to tell about the mail carrier, Paul Wilson, saying it takes him five or six days to make the trip with the first class mail and that throughout the entire winter not an ounce of second-class mail matter is carried. When one considers there are several hundred people down in our neck of the
 woods it certainly would seem we could at least have good road condi-
 tions, not only in the winter time, but | in the summer as well,' he concluded. |

indianapolis school children are
going to have an important part in
building up the Children's Museum
during the summer, according to
plans of Arthur B. Carr, museum
curator.
He believes that the pupils have
many valuable relics in their homes
and in their school museums which
will aid the museum and urges
teachers to assist building curators
and the Junior Board to arrange
special exhibits next week. From
these exhibits, objects will be Sc
lected for permanent display at the
main museum.
Children already have brought
many things to school which the
board has appropriated, Carr said.
He particularly is anxious to get
foreign material which he believes
may be found in immigrant homes.
These will include dolls in native
costume, pottery, or boat models.
Pioneer material, obsolete firearms,
weapons, Indian relics, also will be
valuable
Other materials wanted pertain to
natural history, marine life, modern
birds, insects, animals, geological OBJ
jects, and nature books and maya
zines for the library.

parents and children think to be
Of historical and educational value"

 Contracts for carrying the mails are being awarded for 10-year per- iods to shippers who avail them- selves of the construction and re- building loan fund of $c50.000. 900 set aside for this purpose by the Jones-White Merchant Marine Act, which became law May e3.
 Under terms of this act. the gov ernment frankly enters the lists against the world maritime powers. which since the civil war have car ried the major share of American products consigned, on new pro- gram consigned with an old-age ob- jective-to carry American cargoes in American ships.
 Shipbuilders can borrow from the fund. for 20 year periods. up to 75 per cent of the cost of the new yes. sels and the same proportion of the expense entailed to remodel or equip ships already built. For vessels to be operated in transoceanic service the interest rate shall be the lowest on any government obligation out standing at the time the loan is made. and for ships in the coast wise trade the rate is five and one. half per cent. Heretofore the ship ping board could make loans onl. up to 50 per cent of the construction cost.
