NENANA STRIKE RESULTS IN JAILING
AGITATOR; 3 GERMANS INTERNED
Information received by mail from
Xenana shows that the strike early in
July was a serious matter and resulted i
in a long term in jail for the origi
nator.
The early part of the week of July
14, eighty-five men quit under leader
ship of Charles Lester, a socialist,
Dawsonite, and Canadian citizen, who
has been at Xenana for the past year
He never has been known to work and
was simply an agitator. He has been
Outside once since coming to Alaska
and people suspect he is in the employ
of German agents.
In a speech Monday night, July 9th,
he said:
“The red flag will be over the Stars
and Stripes and the soldiers will be on
their knees to us working men.”
Tuesday, July 10th. Lester was ar
rested. and charged with seditious ut
terances under the act of the legisla
ture passed last session. On July 12th
he was found guilty after the jury de
liberated just eighteen minutes.
Commissioner Robert E. Hums gave
him the limit, one thousand dollars
tine and one year in jail. Lester gave
notice of appeal, but was unable to get
a bond.
Robert Smith, Henry Miller and
Fred Rerinsohn, all citizens of Ger
many. and Lester’s chief assistants,
have been taken into custody as alien
enemies by United States Marshal L.
T. Erwin and will be interned at Fair
banks until the end of the war, under
instructions from the Department of
Justice at Washington .
For a time it looked serious as
Chairman Edes instructed a shutdown
on all work in the Interior if a strike
interfered .
On the night of July 12th the la
borers of the steel gang and other
gangs on force account at Xenana met
behind closed doors and formed a un
ion, which resulted in a second strike
ion July 17, but this was settled with
j out difficulty on July 18, the affair not
NOTICE OF SALE.
H. J. Raymond Company, a corpora
tion, Plaintiff, vs. John W. Dudley,
Defendant. Notice of Sale.
In and by virtue of a Writ of Exe
cution issued out of the United States
District Court at Juneau, Alaska, in
the above entitled cause, and dated the
3rd day of July, PJ17, I have levied
upon all the right, title and interest
of the Defendant in and to the fol
lowing real property, to-wit: Lot
Twenty-nine (2D) in Block Thirty
(30) of the Town of Seward, Alaska,
as the same appears of record in the
Recorder’s Office for Kenai Recording
Precinct .
Notice is hereby given that I will
on Thursday, the 23rd day of August,
1917, at 11 o’clock in the forenoon of
that day at the office of the United
States Marshal in Seward, Alaska,
1 sell all the right, title and interst of
the defendant, John W. Dudley, in and
to the following real property: Lot
Twenty-nine in Block Thirty of the
Town of Seward, Alaska, at public
auction, to the highest and best bidder
for cash, to satisfy said execution and
cost.
Dated at Seward, Alaska, this 21st
day of July, 1917.

United States Marshal.

being connected with the agitation
started by Lester.
At Fairbanks the marshal’s office is
now waiting for instructions from
Washington relative to what to do
with the interned Germans Smith, Mil
ler and Berinsohn, whether to send
them to the internment camp of the
State of Washington or keep them
here. In the meantime they have been
lodged in the federal jail.
These three men are not the only I
ones who should be interned, in the|
opinion of Marshal Erwin. There are |
numbers more at Nenana and some at
Fairbanks as well, and it is his inten
tion to round them all up.
Lester stands convicted under a new
law; one passed by the last Alaska
legislature, providing for the prose
cution of just such cases as his. The
law was passed under an emergency
and was approved May 23, 1917. It
provides that a defendant convicted
under its provisions may be sen
serve a jail sentence of one year or be
serve a jail sentence of one year or
punished by both fine and imprison
ment for a first offense, and that the
fine and jail sentence may be doubled
for a second offense.
RAILROAD NOTES
Owing to the fact that their quar
ters were inadequate, five more bunk
ing and boarding cars have been pro
vided for the use of the steel crew
out of Nenana.
The first of the new standard gauge
locomotives shipped to Nenana has
been found to be in good working or
der. It is switch engine No. 5 and
is known as “The Goat.”
Howard P. Curtis, general store
keeper of Fairbanks Division, has re
turned to Nenana after an absence of
five months in the East and Pacific
Coast points.
Kenneth Case, of the Fairbanks Di
vision engineering force, has been pro
moted to resident engineer, and as
signed to Residency No. 4, at Nenana
Crossing, where he will relieve A. J.
Chandler, who will take a party to I
Lignite Creek to locate the branch line
which is to tap the coal fields.
The Commission’s sawmill at Nena
na was operated for the first time on
June 1 . The mill has a cutting ca
pacity of 20,000 board feet daily.
The power is furnished by six motors
aggregating 102 horsepower.
NOTICE OF CALL FOR BIDS
FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT
Notice is herby given that the Com
mon Council of the City of Seward,
Alaska, calls for bids for the grad
ing and levelling of Third Avenue,
so that loaded vehicles can pass con
veniently thereover, from Jefferson
Street in the City of Seward, Alaska,
to the North limit of the Frank L.
Ballaine Townsite in said City of Sew
ard, also the improvement of Fifth
Avenue from Jefferson Street in the

PROGRESS FOR
JUNE AT TALKEETNA
Nine contracts were awarded during
the month covering the section be
tween Sheep Creek, Station 8735, and
Lane Creek, Station 10765.
No new camps were constructed dur
ing June . The camps at Mile 249 and
Mile 260 were abandoned and the
stores and supplies transferred to
other camps. No additional work was
done at Camp 255. The engineers’
camp at this place will remain, but the
tents intended for use of the construc
tion forces will be taken down and
turned back to the Store Department,
owing to a modification in plans for
the season’s work. Two complete en
gineering residencies were discontin
ued.
The sawmill has been moved from
Dead Horse Hill and is being erected
near the mouth of Indian River. Ap
proximately 30,000 feet of cottonwood
logs have been delivered at the mill
site, and it is expected that the mill
will be turning out lumber early in
July.
During the latter part of May and
throughout the month of June, all riv
ers in the Talkeetna District were un
usually high. Old settlers declare that
extreme high water records have been
established for the spring floods. A
careful examination discloses that the
grade line as established on the orig
inal profile appears to be well above
high water mark.
The total force employed within the
district in June was 453, distributed
as follows: General supervision, 5;
engineering, 31; office and clerical, 16;
foremen and subforemen, 8; mechanics
and laborers, 60; teamsters, packers
and corral help, 6; mess house help,
20; stationmen, 260; stationmen’s la
borers, 38 . The health of the force
during the period was very satisfac
tory, and no accidents occurred.
