Oppose Transfer

Telegrams are being received by the Delegate from Alaska in ouiring as to the status of an Executive Order" presumably made in March to transfer the Road Commission from the War Department to the In terior Department. It develops that there has been no such issued. However, tllo transfer is in line with the CO., ordination idea of the Adminis- tration, and the War Depart ment has recommended that the change be made, as the Interior Department is already operating the Alaska Railroad and the river steamer service in the Territory, and it is agreed that all governmental lines of trans portation and road facilities should be under one depart ment. To transfer the Alaska Road Commission it is necessary that there be Congressional ac- tion and it is understood that a
 Senator is preparing a bill for
 early introduction. 1t is not ex-
 pected that Rivers and Harbo.

MIX PLACE LOW
BID ON UNIT c
Action On Other Side Has
Stopped For Winter

1t is likely that the Morrison
knudsen company, contractors on
the eight miles of the Red Lodge
Cooke road south of Red Lodge,
will build the remaining link, Unit
c, in the Rock creek canyon north
of the Unit A switchback route.
Bids for Unit C were opened We'd
nesday at the Portland office of
the bureau of public roads, and the
NIX bid, $219,S92, was found to
be low.
Contract has not been awarded
yet, but highway officials believe
that the letting will be made with
as little delay as possible. The low
bidding company, with its camp
established at the mouth of He'll
roaring creek adjacent to the c
section, will be able to move on
the new job without delay. Let
ting of the contract to some com
pany not established in the region
would necessarily mean a loss of
time.
Considerable progress has been
made in the past two weeks on the
two four-mile links between Red
Lodge and Unit C. About a mile
of the state highway section, north
of Piney Dell, has been graded.
Two shovels, working from either
end of 59-A above the state sec
ton will meet within the next five
days if the work move at the
same rate as last week. The up
per mile-and-a-half of 59-A, just
below Richel lodge, has been COM
pletely graded.
Work on the other side of the
mountains has stopped for the
winter, Engineer Mitchell said on
his return from Cooke Thursday
night. Crews of McNutt G. Pyle
have pulled out of the region, leav-
ing winter keepers at the Muddy
Creek and Long lake camps. More
than a foot of snow at Beartooth
lake and an equal depth at Cooke
is reported.
The bureau of roads survey
crew is now concentrated on this
side, stalking out the Unit C five
mile section.

YOUTH HAILED AS HERO BY HIS
 PADDLINC FEAT
I7.Year-OId Lad Drove z4 Foot Power Boat By Paddle Alone to Rescue Six Persons

New York, July s - (UP) = Charles Keeler, IT, was hailed as a hero today following the rescue of five men and woman from outer
 Brewster Island yesterday after the youth had padded a 24-foot power boat for 10 miles through |choppy seas when their boat be- came disabled.
 The party set out early Sunday for a days finishing. When they started on the return journey, it was discovered the engine had gone dead. Young Keeler then be- gan his gruelling battle to reach land and safety. He padded con. stantly for 10 miles through the rouglit waters. Another member of the party improvised distress flare from shirt soaked in gas- oline, but this received no re- sponse. On reaching the island they built a seaweed bonfire. and cooked some of the fish they had caught during the day.
 Meantime, Coast Guards, noti- fled by anxious relatives of the missing party, had started in search of them. When Coast guards reported no trace of them. William Keeler, older brother of Charles, chartered a seaplane. They sighted the marooned party on the island and notified Coast Guards, who took them off.
