diamonds with a bid of two dia- monds. East bid two spades, South went to three diamonds and North then went to three no trump, which was the final con- tract.
 The Play
 Disregarding North's bid of one heart, West decided to open his fourth best heart-the three spot which was won by East with the jack. East returned the ten of spades, which Mrs Rosenfeld won with the jack and then led her queen of diamonds, which East won with the ace.
 East returned the nine of spades, Mrs Rosenfeld winning with the king, and West discard ing a heart. A small diamond was won in dummy with the king. Mrs Rosenfeld's next play was the seven of clubs from dummy remember that East had bid and re-bid and was therefore marked with the missing high cards.
 When the hand !. was played. East went in with the queen of cluDS, anQ nere IS where MIS Rosenfeid made a very clever play-she refused to win the trick, playing the six of clubs.
 You can now see that, regard less of what East returns, Mrs Robertson is bound to make six more tricks-that is, three dia- mond tricks and either two spades and the ace of clubs or two clubs and the ace of spades, depending upon what East leads.
 Right at the trick where the seven of clubs was led from the dummy the hand presents many interesting variations; e. g., if East refused to put up the queen of clubs, the declarer would go in with the jack and now gets a very nice play on the hand. Lay the cards out so as to derive the most benefit from these interest ing variations.

LOCAL MAN MEMBER
 SOLDIER BONUS ARMY

Jack Steel, we'll known for mer resident of Hyder, was one of the thousands of war veterans composing the bonus army" recently gathered in Washington to demand immed- fate payment of the soldiers bonus.
 In a letter to "Red" Vile, written in Washington July 5, Steel wrote that he had been in the national capital for about ten days.
 "We came back here," the let ter says" to visit some of these pot-bellied officials. They tell us to go home every day or two, but we tell them this is as much "home" to us as any where, so what can they do?
 There are about 25,00 men here now" the letter continues. "and from 60 to 200 coming in every day. One day we had over 400. We have some good speakers here, who are sure showing these Senators up about the political machine and graft that 1 never heard of before. We sure have the peo- pie of D. c. with us, and the police are solidly with us. The chief of police put up SLIGO cash out of his pocket to feed us for two days when we could not get grub"
 Steel relates further that the commander of the bonus army had gone to New York to speak in theatre on the bonus quest ion and adds: Che will get $1,- % for it, and it goes into the mess fund"
 The envelope bearing Steels letter carries the Salvation in- signia and the stamped in- scription, Bonus Expedition ary Forces, Unit No. Seattle, Camp Marks, Anacostia, D. C."

Funds For Alaska Highway
 Investigation Continued

A recommendation that the unexpended balance of $10,- 900 appropriated for the study of the Pacific -Yukon-Alaska Highway project be continued available until June 30, 1883, was made to Congress by Pres ident Hoover before the close of the last session, according to reports from Washington.
 The recommendation was made on behalf of the Bureau of the Budget and was ap- proved by that bureau.
 Director Roop, in a communi- cation to Congress indicating approval of the recommendat- ion, said the members of the American Commission met with the Canadian representa- tives in Victoria in October, 1881. It was intended to call a second meeting in Washing ton early in 1882, but this was found to be impracticable as it did not afford sufficient time in which to secure the necess- ary data. Continuing, he said:
 "The department of state ad- vises that while the progress of the work has been satisfactory, the study will require at least another year and requests that the unexpended balance of the current appropriation be con tinued available until June 30, 1933."

.R, R, INVESTIGATION
 ACT IS EXTENDED

For several years past there has been a special select com- mitte to investigate the Alaska Railroad, composed of Senator Robert B. Howell, of Nebraska, Senator John B. Kendrick, of Wyoming, and Senator John Thomas, of Idaho. This trio came to Alaska several years ago on thir own initiative and proceeded to investigate the railroad from the sole stand point of earning capacity and returned to Washington i'm. bued with the idea of placing it on a paying basis, ill spite of the fact that the railroad was built by the government with a view to assisting the develop ment of the Territory and with no thought that it would pay it's own costs of operation for many years.
 Their first move was to force rate increases so excessive that traffic was materially reduced. much of it being diverted to automobile stage lines operat- ing over the Richardson High way between Valdez and Fair banks. The distinguished trio next turned their attention to throttling this annoying con- petition and this year succeed ed in securing the abolition of the Alaska Road Commission, which built and maintained the Richardson Highway, and having it's activities placed un- der the direction of the Interior Department, which also con- trols the railroad. The object of this move is said to be to in- augurate a toll system on the Richardson Highway which will increase stage transportat- ion charges to such extent that shippers will be virtually forced to again patronize the railroad.
 Now comes word from Wash ington that Senator Kendrick, during the latter days of the congressional session, p Il t through a resolution extending the investigative powers of the special committee until Decem- Der 3, 1888; which in turn probably means that there will be more Investigating, more meddling and muddling, and more deterring effects on Alas ka's development and prosper ity.

Forest Trail Bureau
 Officials Visit District

southern division of the Tong ass National Forest, and c. M. | Archbold, his assistant, spent the past week in Hyder invest igating local forest and trail conditions in the interest of their department. The two of ficials arrived Friday evening last week from Ketchikan on the Forest Service gas boat Ranger 10, piloted by B. R. Aiken, veteran pilot.
 During the course of their stay Messrs. Mcdonald and Archbold made a survey of the trail conditions along the Sal mon and also made a trip up Fish Creek with B. E. Smith as guide, to ascertain the trail repair needs of that section. MT. Mcdonald informed the Herald that it is the intention of his department to do some repair work on the Fish Creek trail this season. Several bridges are in need of repair or replacement and some brush ing out and general repair work is necessary.
 Asked regarding the attitude of his department respecting the proposal to construct a new trail from the Salmon highway up the east slope of Salmon valley to provide ac- cess to the Crest, Monarch and other high-lying properties in that locality, MT. Mcdonald reiterated previously eX- pressed dictum of the Forest Service that this could not be authorized unless the property owners benefited would agree to cooperate to the extent of providing one-third of the funds required. As an altern- ative, he suggests that an eX- tension of the Fish Creek trail for approximately mile would provide access to properties along the Salmon-Fish Creek divide and could be tied in with the old Alaska-Premier trail, connecting with the Sal mon highway in the vicinity of Ten-mile. This construction could be accomplished at rela- lively small cost and would provide ample access to the properties involved from two points on the Salmon highway, he said.
 Asked if such construction would be undertaken by the Forest Service, MT. Mcdonald replied that it would, although the work probably could not be undertaken before next spring
 Owing to decreased allot- ment of funds, very little new trail construction work could be undertaken, as the funds available are not much in eX- cess of the requirements for maintenance work on existing trails.
 Messrs. Mcdonald concluded their investigations Friday and left for Ketchikan on the Rang CT 10.
