Barbara seemed to think that nlaying and composing jazz was not worth while but, he often asked himself, were these parties any more worth while? It did not seem to him that they were—that they could be.

W. Ken- dall upon whom rests the responsi- bility of keeping the lines in work- ing order. Very recently a moose bécame en- tangled in the wires at Mile 147, near Matanuska, where the line runs fairly close to the ground, and the result was that linemen were compelled to replace several hun- dred feet of wire. What happened to the moose after he made. off with the wire was not ascertained but it was evident ‘that the wire was wound @bout his horns for none of it could be found. Previous to the:incident at Mile {Horns in the wires in the McKinley Park distriot and at numerous oth- ¢, points along the line, where the wires are within reaching distance, bfeaks have been caused on'a num- ber of occasions during the season where they are busy getting settled. | WILLOW CREEK GETS MILL The Golden Bear Mining Com- pany, operating in the Willow Creek | district, north of the head of Cook | Inlet, recently completed the in- stallation of a new mill at the company's camp at the Gold Cord mine.
