JUICE FAILS
TO GO ROUND
ANCHORAGE, Aug. 28, (By Mail)
- —Coal lights will be in vogue again
this winter in a considerable section
of Anchorage as the commission has
not been able to increase the capacity
of its plant.
Since the nights have become K>ng
i er, the consumption of electricity in
the Inlet townsite has increased be
yond the capacity of the commission’s
, electric light plant, according to Her
bert Gaytes. superintendent of the tel
egraph and telephone department. lit
the last few days the load on the
lighting machine at times between 7
o’clock and 10 o’clock at night has
been from thirty-five to forty per cent
in excess of its rated capacity, ami
this peak load, Mr. Gaytes announces,
has reached an amount which the pres
ent equipment cannot carry.
The installation of the second and
! larger lighting machine, which was
ordered by the commission last year,
has not yet been completed because
the firm which has the contract for
the necessary steam fittings has found
itself unable to deliver the required
parts within the time specified. This
delay is caused by abnormal business
conditions, difficulty of securing raw
material and congestion on the rail- j
ways in the States.

WORKING ON
HAPPY CREEK
FAIRBANKS, Aug. 10, (By Mail).
—That the railroad work now being
done by the Alaskan Engineering
commission on Happy creek is going
1 forward rapidly is the report received
; in Fairbanks. Chiefly grading work
is now being done, about forty men be
ing employed by the contractors. Ed
Bartlett is one of those who are work
ing big crews of men.
It is the intention of the Engineer
ing commission to complete five miles
of narrow guage railroad by fall to
connect up with the Tanana Valley
railroad, and it now seems that the
objective is fo be accomplished. The
rails that will be laid are not here
yet, but it is now expected that suffi
cient grading work will have been j
done to enable a steel gang to go to
work as soon as they arrive.
A call for 5,000 standard railroad
ties for railroad work at Happy has
been issued from the local office of the
Engineering commission. The ties
must be delivered within forty-five
days at any point on thd Tanana Val
ley railroad. Information regarding
the tie contract can be secured from
,J. B. Bickford at the local office of the
commission

FARMERS UP
LINE ORGANIZE
—
Incorporated Under Territorial Law j
and Have 100 Members in
Association
—
What can be dor,** in the states can
be done in Alaska is proved by the in
corporation of the Matanuska farm- j
ers’ co-operative association, which!
is organized under territorial laws. ;
It has a membership of more than
100. At a recent election held at Ma
tanuska the following officers were
e’ccted to serve for the ensuing y *ar: •
Carl Martin, president; J. A. Whit
taket, secretary-treasurer, and A. A.
Cobh, W. 1*. Murray, Martin I.ock
wold and F. F. Winchester directors.
The prime objec t of the Matanuska
association at the present time is two
fold and efforts will he concentrated
on a standard grade of potatoes and
the installation of a warm storage
plant at Matanuska which will solve
the problem of supplying Anchorage
merchants with the valley products
which are so much in demand.
Last season the transportation fa- ,
cilities v ere absolutely inadequate j
and the farmers were unable to move i
their produce to market until after
the freezs-up. Under the present
plan the crops of the valley farms
may be stored in the warm storage \
and held until necessary to fill an or
der.
With vary few exceptions tin* farm-1
ers of the /icinity have joined the or
ganization and arc working in har
mony for its success.

SALOON SUBSTITUTE
OPENED AT NENANA
NENANA, Aug. 14, (By Mail).—
The Outside substitute for a liq «or
emporium lias hit Alaska. Whether
or not other towns have them is not
known, but Nenana is sporting such
a place in the Portland billiard par
lors, opened up today by O. M. Jack
son and Theodore Brakke, of hair
banks. C. H. (Slim) Packard is the
manager of the establishment. The
fixtures of the new billiard parlor are
nothing short of magnificent, ami it is
believed to be the only place in Al
aska where ice cream and soft drinks
are served over a bar similar to the
manner in which saloons on the Out
side have been turned into soft drink
emporiums. The place is located in
the Nenana block at the corner of
First and A streets.
