REDS SENTENCE RED CROSS
MAX FOR 20 YEARS
Washington, April 2fi.—Captain
Emmet Kilpatrick. of Uniontown,
Ala., Red Cross worker in South
Russia, captured by the Bolshevik
forces last fall, is reported to have
been sentenced to 20 years' impris
onment at hard labor after trial be
fore a Soviet tribunal in Moscow.,
aud Red Cross headquarters here
has ordered an investigation.
The report was brought out of
Russia by a Hungarian refugee who
reached Budapest. Cabled instruc
tions to follow it up have been sent
to various European headquarters.
Captain Kilpatrick. while on leave
of absence from his regular post of
duty, got far forward with the forces
of General Wrangel. and was rup
tured when Soviet .ir... s -e.1 a
general advance. It has been defi
nitely established that he was taken
to Moscow and imprisoned there,

RELIEF roll*CNGA *
IX THREE A\"EI£KS
The destitute situation of natives
at I'nga, who have been subjected to
great suffering because of the dis
continuance of operations by the cod
fisheries, will be relieved shortly, it
was announced this afternoon front
the Governor's office.
The Governor, who acted immedi
ately upon receipt of advices from
t'nga, has received a reply from the
cod fisheries people, saying that a
steamer is being loaded with sup
plies atyl gear at San Francisco, and
will arrive at Unga in about three
weeks, when operations at the fish
eries' stations will be started at
once, giving employment and, there
fore, relief to the natives and resi
dents of that district.
Freight Rates Due
for Big Slump
Completion of Government Railroad
Will Cause 1,000 Per
Cent. Cut
Anchorage, Alaska. April 26.—
I Rales on freight consigned to inter
I ior Alaska points will be reduced
! ing machinery will ho shipped to
price, to within $25 a ton. when the
government railroad from tidewater
to the "inside" is completed next
spring. It is estimated here.
As a result, a great deal of min
> ink machinery will he shipped to
the interior, it is thought, and many
dredge and frozen placer areas will
be enabled to resume operation. At
present the high freight rates on
supplies and machinery make it int
. possible to operate at a profit.
For years much of the freight for
I Fairbanks, Xetiana. Fort Gibbon,
I Ruby and other interior points has
been sent by teams over the trails
from the seaport towns of Valdez
and Cordova. During the summer
some shipments went in by the long
water route from Seattle to St. .Mi
chaels and up the Yukon river sys
tem, while other consignments were
hilled via Seattle to Skugwav, across
the mountains on the White Pass
rairoad and down the Yukon from
YVhitehorse.
I Time and Money Saved
When the railroad is completed,
'time and cost will lie saved. Goods
will lie shipped from Seattle to Sew
ard or Anchorage, the seaport towns
on the railroad, and will be carried
by the line across tthe mountains to
Nenaua and Fairbanks, two interior
points both on the Tanana river,
a part of the great interior river
highway system.
Already on the portions of the
road completed mining operations
have increased. Fourteen outfits will
mine with hydraulic machinery this
year on Cache creek, three stamp
mills recently were erected on Wil
low creek, and placer works on
Valdez, Green and other rich creeks
has been revived.
Coal Fields Opened
Government coal mines at Eslca
and Chicka!oon, which are connect
ed with the main railroad by a
branch line, have produced approx
imately 100,000 tons piled and ready
for railroad and domestic use. The
foundation for a 100-ton capacity
coal cleaning plant is being laid at
Sutton, where the Eska and Cliick
aloon branches come together and
when completed the navy depart
ment will be invited to fill bunkers
and begin distributing coal to Pa
cific stations. New bituminous coal
lias been discovered by government
prospectors within recent weeks and
js being developed.
Steel Trail Taken
Already. Alaskans who reside in
the interior, are taking the new
"steel trail" over the mountains in
preference to the old routes out of
Miller, Francis Vandewall, Don
Mulribill, Philip Olson and Elmer
Rasmuson. Mrs. Charles Peterson
and Mrs. Sam Hanson were the pat
ronesses.
Why I Know It Is Spring
Hecause chattering knots of small
! boys playing marbles clutter the
, muddy sidewalks in the suburbs.
Because I saw a blue jay and
I
some crocuses.
' Because fruit stands have opened
j their windows and there are shining
pyramids of oranges and apples on |
i shelves over the sidewalks.
Because a waitress I never saw be
[ fore smiled at me in a restaurant
' during the rush hour.
Because back yard clotheslines
' are freighted with blankets and
furs.
Because children in the park with
I nursemaids are rolling hoops.
Because a man carrying a thing
' made of wire came to the door and
asked if he could beat my rugs.
Because I saw a man with happy
eyes thoughtfully buying a large
supply of garden seeds in a store.
Bocause 1 found some tiny red tips
on the twigs of a tree.
Because the balloon and pin-wheel
man was going up and down the
streets blowing his whistle shrilly.
Because as I go down the street in
i he evening I hear sweet music com-1
ing from open windows.
Because the faces of men and
women and children are happier |
than they were two weeks ago.—Ex. j
Cordova and Valdez. They take the
trains at Seward and Anchorage and
ride to the end of steel at Mile 275.
From there they take a stage pulled
by dog teams, or "mush" across
Pass eighty-four miles to the end
of the road being built south from
Fairbanks and Nenana. Freight also
is handled via the Broad pass, the
government engineers having intro
duced army caterpillar tractors,
which have packed down a boule
vard in the snow between the ends
of steel.
Farming Stimulated
Farming along the line of the
railroad is expected to be stimulated
by completion of the line. Officials
say land settlers by the hundreds
are asking about farn; lands, there
being about 100,000 acres awaiting
settlement in the Matanuska valley
and in the Tanana valley, both on
| the railroad. In the Tanana, No. 1
hard wheat is being raised and
milled into flour by a new plant at
Fairbanks. Mixed farming is also
proving successful.
Incoming farmers are warned that
they will have to clear the lands of
small spruce and poplar growth,
I without taproots. Once the land is
I cleared, they are told, it will grow
every variety of hardy vegetable,
and is suitable to sheep, hog, and
poultry raising and will prove a
| splendid berry and dairying country.
Fairbanks.—Webster Pendleton,
one of the early arrivals in Fair
banks and a business man of this
town for the past ten years, passed
away at St. Joseph's Hospital last
week. His case was considered
hopeless when he entered the hospi
tal several months ago. He was bur
ied by the local order of Odd Fel
lows.
The coming summer promises to ue
very Rood in the Livlugood district,
There are about eight outfits operat
ing at the present time and if the
water holds out next summer some
large dumps will be sluiced. The
snow fences built last summer for
the purpose of piling up a quanity
of snow and which will melt gradu
ally furnishing a steady flow of wa
ter for a considerable period are
proving a great success.
Charley Johnson, Gus Selberg and
"Cheechaco John" Arvik, who are
working the Lovely claim on Liven
good. are drifting in from the old
Peterson shaft and have struck ex
ceedingly good ground. They are
taking out a dump.
*fhe big pay which was recently
uncovered by the Mcintosh brothers
on Franklin gulch continues and they
are also piling up the bedrock for
spring sluicing. All who are engaged
in mining in the Tolovana camp are
making a good showing and the
outlook is good for a prosperous
season.
