When this fact was communicate

cries was placed in touch with the
records Of surplus property. He was
enabled to obtain shoes from the
army, winter trousers from the ma
rine corps, coats, o~vercoats, rain
coats, blankets, comforters and
nurses dresses from the veterans
bureau; sails, oilskins. mosqito
bars and soap from the shipping

the public health service. All these
materials were transferred without
funds in time to be made part of
the annual shipment of supplies on
a ship furnished by the navy de-
partment.
This transaction, while relatively
small economically, is significant in
the changes it indicates.

IDI1 1AROD REGION HAD
 MoST PROSPEROUS SEASON

The mining season which recently cioscd was the most prosperous the Iditarod district has experienced in many years, according to Lee T. Pen,e, Iditarod banker, in a state msnt to the Fairbanks News MineE
 Th;s is accounted for by the fact that mining, the regions principal in dustry. was aided by having asailzMe 9 supp-y of water much -at~ve itnes av- 2raCc. Full advantage ST the wet season was taken by large-and small operators.
 Mr. Pence estimates .t.p S1etalg gold production of the dditarod for 1929 at .approxin,ateaysa quattecaof a mil lion dollars. Ike hulk eofs the output came from the. Mat hieson and Riley dredges xad from operations on Chicken.and Moere creeks.

 The Riley Investment Company's dredge is on Otter creek, two miles from Flat. Ground on Chicken creek worked by MT. and Mrs. William Ducy was large producer, and the Kashinen hydaulic plant on Moore creek had an exceptionally good sea- son.
 Taken all in all," Mir. Pence said, "it was an excellent year. There was lots of water and everyone made memes"
 Donnelley < Sheppard, Flat 'rner- chants, have just moved into thei fine new building, which was built by Walter Jewell and Charles Mortimer of Fairbanks. Mr. Donnelley, one of the Fourth division representatives at the last legislative session, is also manager for the Riley Investment Company and will be the districts banker henceforth.
 For some time MT. Donnelley has owner the majority of the stack in the Miners & Merchants Bank of Idit- arod and recently he purchased all of Mir. Pence's stock. The bark quar- ters have been moved from Iditarod to Flat, and Mir. Donnelley will take active charge of the business.

TRIBUTE TO P. M. TROY.

William Goodyear pioneer Washington Stat newspaper editor and for a score of years mempe of the Board of Regents of the Washington Stat College at Pullman, where he resides, in signe' statement paid tribute to Preston M Troy wh died recently at Olympia Washington. He wrot in much the same vein that former Chief Justic Chadwick spoke in the eulogy at the funeral serv ices, except that Judge Chadwick, being a lawye himself devoted considerable time to the high pro fessional abilities and ethics of the deceased MI Goodyears statement follows:
 A discerning philosopher once remarked that the highest tribute which can be paid to any man is to say that his neighbors think well of him. The funeral services of the late P M Troy was a remarkably im- pressive example of this kind of tribute The gathering of sorrowing neighbors which taxed the capacity of the church was more than an expression of respect. It was demonstration of sincere affection. WHY was it that not alone his neighbors but all who enjoyed the privilege of knowing this man recognized that his demise is distinct loss to the whole State as well as to tbc City of Olympia? The answer to that qLes- tion is to be found in the combination of fine qualities which dominated his char acter
 He was a kindly His boyhood days were filled with the hardshps and priva- tions incident to pioneer life, but these try ing experiences, instead or hardenlng nm, broadened his sympathies and early taught him to discriminate between what is really worth while and what is trivial. Always busy man, he never too busy to listen to the troubles and problems of those who needed counsel and encouragement and there are scores of boys and girls, men and wom- en who have been heartened and benefited by his sympathetic understanding and advice.
 He man of deep convictions. He had the courage to live up to his convic- tions. This particularly noticeable in his political activities. Always Democrat, he consistently put principle about partisan ship and hesitated to refuse to sup port candidates upon his ticket whom he deemed unworthy. He worked and voted for what he believed to be right, although he considerate of the opinions of those who differed from him and was willing to admit that usually there were three sides to every question; his side his opponents side, and the right side. In politics well as in law and in business he invariably and honestly sought to find the right side.
 He public spirited man. While he loved his home and concentrated on his
