perty committee o£ the akagway
city council is givng grave thought
to river protection, this year, ow-|
I ing to Che vafet amount of snow,,
which when melted wll.1 flow into
the Skagway river. That no dam
age may result from rapid melting
and consequently a quick raise of
the river, ftn investigation, was
made yesterday by Mayor Ash- j
toy »nd Councilman Buting, chair
man, oX the committee and Supt. '
John, Hayes, superintendent OlJ the
Alaska Road commission's work
in, this division, who is 1m tJho
city.
These gentlemen went over the
ground carefully, and at last |
night's meeting of the city council
reported that it would be feasahlo
to put in, a bulk-head so) as to di
vert the river channel from the
ea^st side of the river bed to> (fie
west side so as to Uyow the river
in that part of the channel and
force a clean sweeft under the
Twenty-second avenue bridge.
At an expenditure of approxi-1
maLely $600, according to an(
estimate prepared by Mr. Hayes
sufficient work could be done to
safe guard the city and also piro- (
tect the bridge from being car
ried out, should there be extreme
•high water this spring.
I aUr. Hayes, speaking on dbu«»u
of the Alaska Road commission,
saitl that he believed that half of
the required amount of money necgs
aary to, do the work could be secur
ed from the funds of the road com
mission, provided that the city
would appropriate a lik<j amount.
Mr. Hayes was assured by the
council that this amount would be
fori hem ing.
IMr. Hayes then stated that he
would at onee communicate with
Capt. Waush in order to secure
lhe authority to go ahead1 with
the work, aaid as scon as) he had
received his an3W«r, he would be
gm the work, which would be dona
nnder the supervision of the road
commission.

a wholesome, appetizing substitute for
high-priced olive oils when refined, and
It is said to be much cleaner than olive
oil. The scarcity of olive oil, due to
the war, has led to a marked Increase
in the use of corn oil in this country
for salad and cooking purposes. Hith
erto most of the corn oil has gone Into
soap manufacture. Only IB per cent
of it was refined before the war, and
rather strangely, most of this went
to Europe for salad nil, while Euro
peans sold us olive oil at several times
the price.
