London, Aug. 14.'—The reply
of De Valera to the Govern
ment's Irish peace proposals was
handed to Chamberlain. .Govern
ment leader in the Commons, at
noon today. The tenor of the

be subject to conferences by the
Cabinet, which means that it is
unlikely to be divulged for some

Road Commission Uses
Gasoline From Katalla
That Alaska- gasoline and distillate
ndw being used by the Alaska Hoad
Commission is superior to similar pro
ducts imported from the States for sev
eral years, is the statement of Major J.
C.1 QOtwals, engineer officer of the
Commission, made recently while ©n a
visit to Juneau.
“We are using Katalla gasolitie and
distillate in our motors and it is the
best -fre have had in years.” said Major
Gbtwals, adding, ^It is very similar to
tWe old high grade product formerly
obtainable in Pennsylvania.”

ARRESTEO
|Charged With Robbing!
Seattle Bank Messen
gers of $25,000.
Kansas City, Aug. 14.—After
an exciting aeross-the-continent
flight, four men and three women
were arrested here today at a
hotel, charged with being ac
complices in the holding up of
two bank messengers in Seattle,
in which the robbers secured
twenty-five thousand dollars.
All members of the party pro
tested their innocence under ex
amination except Louis Gordon,
who, under severe questioning,
broke down completely, at the
same time exonerating the other
members of the *partv. They,
however, are being held, and
have yet to explain their pj^rt in
the hurried dash of more than
half way across the States.
Says the Chandlar Is
Making Good Showing
Captain John Donovanr U. S. Com
missioner at Eagle, who arrived from
his upper-Yukon station this morning,
says that very encouraging reports are
coming from the Chandlar. He met
the Chandlar recorder on the way
down river and was told that new pay
had been found* on the benches on
Squaw creek, and that some bench pay
had also been uncovered on Big creek.
As a result of these and other reports
theae is quite a movement of old timers
toward the Chandlar district, and it is
the opinion of Captain Donovan that!
thege will be much activity there this j
summer, with possibly the develop-!
ment of a good camp of considerable
size*
There ‘is some mmine is the Eagle
district, Captain Donovan says, but the
operations are on a small scale and the
condition of the camp is not very
nourishing.—Nenana News.
Millions Awaiting Bondholders.
Washington.—More than one million
persons holding temporary Liberty
bonds from which the last interest
coupon h/s been cut have failed thus
far to exchange the temporary bonds
for new ones with coupons attached.
The money to pay the interest is
waiting in the Federal Reserve Bank
to the amount of $17,000,000 a year, but
the Government cannot pay it until the
bondholders exchange their bonds and
present the new eoupou9, This can be
dene through any reiiable bank.
There are almost 7,500,000 separate
bends not yet exchanged, with a par
value of $1,132,730,200. In many cases
none of the coupons have been col
lected.
Some holders of Liberty bonds are so
poorlv informed that they actually
come to the.bank9 on interest day with
their coupons and with the cash to pay
the interest to the Government! They
do not understand that the interest is
due to them, not from them.
