Las Angeles, Oct. 4.—Agnes Callu
han, a maid at the-Ambassador Hotel,
testified this afteraoon that Aimee
Semple McPherson rented a room at
that hotel, and that- she saw Kenneth
G. Ormiston enter the evangelist’s
room on a number of oceasmns during

Porks Road Would
HIM Help Right Now
Well, a road from The Forks to
this place, as outlined in last week’s
Times, would be no small benefit to
Takotna and the people of this sec
tion at this time.
The stoppage of freighting opera-:
tions on Takmna river, due to weather
conditions which threaten a blanket of-j
ice at almost any old time, precludes j
almost all hope' of forwarding freight
from McGrath during the remainder
of the open-water- season.
That freight could easily have been
landed at The Forks, and from the
latter place it could easily have been
hkuled hefe bytractor or teams.
It is not contended that the latter
method would be1 as cheap as the haul
by water entirely.
The construction of the road, how
ever, would mean that merchants,
mining operators and 'others of this
section would have some assurance of
being able to move most needed sup
plies—thaf-tney ~w'otild not be plated
entirely at the'whims ol did Takotna
