The Premium lists for the North western Alaska Fair are now out, and they are proving to be very popular. And it is not just idle curiosity, either. because lot of questions are being asked, as to how to enter exhibits, when, and where. The concessions are being taken up rapidly also, both by en- terprising merchants and by in divfduals. Some of the conces- sionadres are going in to make money, others just for advertising purposes, but it all shows interest.
 Reader. you should look over the list, now, early, and begin at once to consider your exhibit, and prepare for it. Reindeer need training, dogs need grooming, fur clothing should be sewed, ivory carved. pictures taken or painted, and embroidery embroidered. We do not advise baking the cakes yet, but give them a thought.

E. F. Bauer, associate superin- mission, arrived in town from Tel ter Wednesday. Mir Bauer made an inspection of trail and shelter cabins from Nome to Teller re- turning by way of Pilgrim Hot Springss. He was highly pleased It the excellent stalking on all trails inspected, and states the YhNter cabins without exception were in good condition. At Tel Ter in particular, where many trails converge with considerable travel, the stalking was eminently satisfactory. While on the inspec- tion trip MT. Bauer incidentally gathered the census in out of the way places, not accessible to the city or settlement enumerators.
 The weather during the trip was tempestluous, with low tenn peratures. The Port Clarence coast line was struck particularly hard by fierce wind storms, rem dering travel impossible. The lowest temperature experienced was thirty three below accompanied by bowling gales. On the trail from Tissue river through Gold Run to Teller, work will be done on the permanent stalking where necessary, so as to bring it up to the standard of other trails. At the Pilgrim Hot Springs Julius Siiverman and Harry Ewarts were spending a weeks vacation.

Harlingen Seeks to Heal
Breach on Proposed
Water Project
Especial to The Heraldl

HARLINGEN, July 30@Strenuous
efforts are expected to be made here
this week to heal the breach be
tween various factions on the ques-
ton as TO what dispc 5ition should
be made OF Harlingen's 100000
navigation fund.
T NO propositions have Won wide
spread support. One would have the
money spent as soo as possible to
dredge the Arroyo Colorado from
the Southern Pacific bridge 70 Padre
Island to a depth OF nine feet and
a width Of 100 feet. The other
would lend the 100000 70 begin
construction OF Harlingen's end OF
the i~ntracoastal canal when and If
the government approves extension
OF this waterway 10 Harlingen and
Port Isabel.
Petitions urging the former prof.
ect upon the navigation district are
being circulated. II was claimed
that more than 1900 names have
been attached to them. Another
petition has been In circulation for
some time which could cut off sal
aries OF all officers Of the navi-
CATION body who now are drawing
them.
It is believed likely that j. d.
Chambers, ST.. manager or the dis
trict, will appear before the cham
Der of commerce directors on We'd
nesday night at their invitation TO
give a complete report OF the activi-
ties OF that body both past and
planned.
Out OF the Chambers report II
IS believed possible some comprom-
Use can be worked out between the
waring factions which will bring
them together. Indications are that
the i~ntracoastal canal proposal will
win the most general support. This
project has already been given the
unanimous endorsement OF the
chamber OF commerce directors.
