Mjddell does
NOT OWE $14,000
AS FIRST SAID
The following news articles were
tw.w- . 'his week’s maii from a
special correspondent for The eusko
Times at Palmer who will k _e.. n
infcrmed from time to time of the
progress and other matter of general
interest pertaining to the colony.
Charles Ruddell, colonist, who left
for Washington to demand a con*
gressionai investigation of the pro
ject and particularly to register a
complaint regarding his wn _ bt of
$14,000, should have waited a little
longer in Fainter before starting on
his trek. Although officials had no
tified him that his debt had amour.t
to $14,C00, it was f;und, acccrd
’o local authentic rep rts to be
tuout §7.000. It se,ms that
-c was made in checking
~.*.r h s account. Citarley probably
will not hear of this until he reaches
Washington, however. There is ccn
si' crab s speculation here regarding
» - ’ .”s recent statement n Seatti.
*aat, he was carrying, with him 125
affidavits from among the colonists
corapla.ring f mismanagement and
o'her things.

GLACIER IS ROARING
NOW LIKE SAWMILL !
Roaring at the face like a sawmill, ^
the huge Black Rapids Glacier is
moving gradually toward the river j
and the Rapids Roadhouse, on the
Richardson Highway, CoL H. E. Re
's e, operator of the Roadhouse, re- :
ported by phone to the Fairbanks ; |
News-Miner early last week.
A big wind prevailed at the gla
cier an:: in vi nity, and Pilot Jack
Hermann and Otto Geist, who went j
-- to photograph the glacier were
“-.re till .ate in the day when th y
returned to Fairbanks.
"hi«. do not fee! unduly alarmed.'' j j
tys .he .• lonei. ‘but should any
■ ar.ger develop, we can get away.
The glacier was estimated to be five
niLes from here before the heavy
rains of last October fell. They
probably got the .lacier to moving.
-’One say it is new 2,000 feet high
*n the center. Before last October J '
we coUid step on the edge of the
iace of the glacier. Now it is 300
. et high at the face ar.d two miles
"ide, as compared to no height at
be front and a ir.3e wide last fail.
