WINDOW MAN WAS
KILLED AT JACKSON

Henry Langland of Jackson, son of
Henry Langland of Window, was
found dead in the repair pit of his
garage last week, and it is believed
that he was electrocuted. Although
the light which he was using carried
only ITO volts, there have been many
cases where the heart was in such
condition that the voltage was high
enough to cause death. Mr.. Lang
land had charge of the Tourist Garage
at Jackson. He was working on a
truck when the end came and three
physicians worked over him a few
minutes after he was found, thinking
he was asphixiated. Subsequent ex-
animation showed that the arm and
hand were cramped and that there
appeared to be burned spot on the
hand. The wet floor of the pit made
perfect ground for the current.

 Col. Arthur Fisher. Command ant of the France Flying Field. believes Col. Charles A. Lind bergh is very nervous and may crack" under the present flying strain.
 Col. Fisher. on the hunting and vacation trip. noticed that Col Lindbergh was unable to sit still, read or rest like the other off cers, on the trip.

MAJOR GILLETTE RETURNS FROM
 'WASH|NCTON,D.C.
Appeared Before Appro- priations Committee
 Cleveland Road Meet

Major Douglas H. Gillette. En- gineer Officer with the Alaska Road Commission, returned to Juneau on the steamship Admiral Watson after an absence of about month during which time he looked after Commission affairs in Seattle and Washington, D. C., and attended the convention of Road Builders held in Cleveland, January 4-14.
 Before Committee
 In Washing ton, Major Gillette appeared with Major Elliott, President of the Commission, be- fore the House Committee on Ap- propriations at several hearings. Major Elliott is now preparing statements to be placed before the Senate Committee. He plans to remain in Washington until the War Department appropria- ton bill, which contains the ap- propriation for the Alaska Road Commission. is acted upon by Congress and will probably re- turn to Juneau about March |,
 Major Elliott also attended the convention of Road Builders at Cleveland, returning from that city to Washington
 Are Satisfied
 We are satisfied to compare the road building programs of the Alaska Road Commission with those used throughout the United States and we found our methods of road and trail construction and the equipment used by the Commission to be on a par with the latest advancement in these developments" said Major Gill lette.
 Narrows Dredging
 Tn Seattle the Major made sat isfactory final arrangements with the contractors for the dredging of Wrangell Narrows. This work is progressing favorably and little ahead of schedule. It's com pletion was set for August 1, but according to the present program made it will probably be finished in July, Major Gillette said.
 While in Seattle Major Gil- lette enjoyed ride in the new Ford automobile and said he was pleased with it's improvement.
 Fisheries Permits
 Fish trap permits, in accord snce with recent fisheries regula- tions. will be issued within short time, Major Gillette said There have been few conflicts and the work is being cleared up rapidly.
 Attention of all concerned IS invited by Major Gillette, to the fact that in some cases in the past fish trap owners have yio- lated the law by constructing their traps before obtaining War Department permit therefor. 5e
 It is pointed out that all such structures are illegal structures antl that parties taking such ac- tion render themselves liable ul- der the laws relating to naviga- tion even though the trap may be in location for which a permit would probably be issued if prop erly applied for in the legal man nap
