SEATTLE, Sept. 10. — Purchasing
Agent Dole, who sailed for Seward on
the steamship Alaska last night, said
the failure of Puget Sound lumber
mills to deliver their orders may de
lay construction work on the Alaska
railroad. Six million feet has been
ordered by the commission, which has
not been delivered, anil if the deliv
eries are not made before the dost
of navigation at Anchorage, he said
it would tie up all construction v.oWc
until spring, and probably longer, at
that end of the line.

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
The employees of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission and the resi
dents of Alaska in general will, with
in a comparatively short time, be
given an opportunity to render patri
otic aid to their government by par
ticipating as purchasers in the $2,000,
000.000 issue of Liberty Loan 3k* per
cent bonds. As soon as definite ar
rangements are made for the accept
ance of local subscriptions the public
will be so informed through the me
dium of the daily and weekly press.
The total amount of the Liberty j
Loan authorized by Congress is $5,
000.000,000. Of this only $2,000,000
is being offered to public subscription
at this time. The bonds are to he is
sued ii denominations of $50, $100,
$500 and $1000, and will pay 3Va per;
cent interest. They are exempt from I
all Federal, State and local taxation,
with the exception of inheritance
taxeo.
These bonds should he eagerly sub
scribed by the patriotic people of
America, not only because it is their
first duty to help their Government,
but because they are the safest invest
ment on earth. They are secured by
the entire wealth of the United States,
the annual increase of which alone
amounts to about 50 billions of dol
lars.
Our country is at war with the
most powerful and resourceful foe the
world has ever known. Millions of
men and millions in money will be
required to make the result decisive
ly victorious. The draft will provide
the men. It is the privilege and duty
of those not in the army to provide
the money.—R R. Record.

j WAGON ROADS FOR
MATAM’SKA DISTRICT
M. I). Snodgrass, who has spent
some time past in the Matanuska dis
trict, is very favorably impressed
with its agricultural possibilities.
Last year, he states, wheat, oats, and
barley were matured there and yield
ed very favorably, while potatoes and
i the ordinary garden products gave ex
* cellent returns despite the unfavor
able season. This year, with normal
' conditions, he expects to see a great1
gain in the output of that section and |
at the greatly enhanced prices for ail J
farm products the farmers of that
section will do well.
One of the most pressing needs of
that section, Mr. Snodgrass states, is
wagon roads as feeders to the rail
road. Under present conditions he
says, the agriculturists are experienc
ing the greatest difficulty in getting
their produce to market, and in team
ing their supplies and provisions to
their homesteads from the railroads.
An effort will be made to have the ter
ritorial road overseer for this divi
sion look into the matter with a view
to securing as much work as possible
on the roads of that section.
This month Snodgrass will go to
Fairbanks to relieve J. VV. Neal, sup
erintendent of the station there, who,
will leave the service and will go to
California, where he has a large ranch;
of his own that he will devote himself
to in the future.

The steamer Northland, which was
sunk about a year ago at Kake, in
Southeastern Alaska, has been suc
cessfully raised anud is now on her
way south for repairs. The Northland
was raised and nearly free from water
when one of the wrecking crew pass
ing through one of the rooms with a
lighted lantern caused an explosion
and lire due to the crude oil which
had accumulated, throughout the in
terior of the hull, necessitating the
flooding of the steamer again to ex
tinguish the blaze.
Captain Dan Pullen, Alaska’s first
West Pointer, has been notified to be
prepared to depart for France with
the engineer corps of the U. S. army,
according to a letter received by his
mother, Mrs. H. S. Pullen, of Skag
way. He will be promoted to the rank
of major before leaving America. He
was appointed to West Point by Pres
ident Koosevelt in 1906 and graduated
at th*e head of his class.
