RIGGS MAKES STATEMENT ANENT
NENANA FAIRBANKS CONTROVERSY
The Engineering Commission has
been the object of some criticism in
Fairbanks because of its alleged dila
tory action in connecting the railroad
from the Nenana coal fields on through
Nenana to Fairbanks, old and estab
community. Recently statements were
made in Fairbanks to the effect that
there would be nothing but a narrow
guage road north of Nenana. Con
cerning this. Commissioner Riggs,
while in Fairbanks to meet Chairman
Edes, is credited by The Citizen with
making the following statement:
“Until the bridge across the Tan
ana river at Nenana is completed, the
railroad between Fairbanks and Ne
nana may be narrow guage. e\V are
building it that way in order equip
ment of light weight may cross ice
of the river during the winter and on
the ferries in the summer. We are,
however, building the grade on this
end for standard guage track, and are
using standard guage ties everywhere
for construction work. Therefore,
when we get ready to change the track
from narrow to standard guage all we
will have to do is to move one rail,
which work, l think, can he accomp-!
lished in four days’ time.’’
Asked by the reporter of The Citi
zen, regarding the statements made by
himself, Chairman Kdes and Mr.
Christensen, chief of the land and in-,
dustrial department of the commis
sion, at the banquet tendered by the
Xenana Commercial Club to Mr. Kdes,
Mr. Riggs said in part:
“The people of Fairbanks are too!
quick to jump at conclusions. I have
been here but a few hours, vet I have!
already heard remarks tending to,
prove the jealousy of the business peo
ple of Fairbanks in regard to Xena-j
na. They are not looking toward the
future good that the railroad will do,
Fairbanks and other points in the in- ■
terior; rather, are they kicking be
cause Fairbanks is not the payroll
, town.
“You can say that I said that Ne
nana will always be a distributing
point; you cannot get away from it.
It is the most desirably located of any
town in the interior for that purpose.
All of the lower river country will
be tributary to it and it will always
be a good small town.
“The government is not spending
or will not spend any money in im
provements at Nenana. The law pro
vides that fifty per cent of the amount
received from the sale of lots be put
in improvements for the townsite. All
money over and above half of the
amount realized from lot sales that
goes in improvements, will by peti
tion by the townspeople of Nenana
and the government, be reimbursed by
assessments. Therefore, all of the
money placed in improvements at Ne
nana is being furnished by people who
have located there and who are con
tributing to the welfare of the place.
“If there is a man in Fairbanks who
is fool enough to think that the rail- j
road between Fairbanks and Xenana
is going to be narrow guage when
finally constructed, let him go out to
Happy and see the crew of men build
ing grade sixteen feet wide; grade for
a standard guage track, equipped
with standard ties and bridges and
culverts made to carry standard
equipment. And you can tell the peo
ple of Fairbanks l said that, too.”

Quartermaster Sergeant Schwecht
en, at Fort Li scum, has received ofli
j cial notification that he has been pro
| moted to the rank of captain.
The assessed valuation of the tax
able property of the town of Juneau
is $.'{,7P>0,7G8 and the rate for the year
has been fixed at 1G mills.
Juneau capitalists are planning on
subscribing to a company to be form
ed for the purpose of making cans
| for all the canneries of Southeastern
Alaska.
Fritz Nelson, a miner, recently in
jured in an explosion, was operated
on in the General HospitaLat Juneau
where it was found neecssary to re
move the left eye.
Four cannery tenders are reported
to have been lost at the mouth of the
Koskokwim this spring. The natives
are enjoying prosperity from the sal
vaging of the cargoes.
Chief Engineer of the steamship
Mariposa, Earl Raymond, has been
promoted to Chief Port Engineer for
the Alaska Steamship Company at Se
attle, and has entered upon his new
duties.
A shipment of 200,000 black spotted
trout eggs is expected soon at the
Southeastern Alaska Fish and (iame
Club of Juneau. The eggs are com
ing from Colorado from the Bureau
of Fisheries.
Rev. J. L. McBride, minister of the
First Presbyterian church at Anchor
age, made the statement recently that
many bears can be seen along the line,
for the fish are scarce in the streams
and the bears are being driven into
the open by hunger.
quartermaster fcergoant r. Mdweii
has received notice of his promotion
as Captain, Q. M. C. at Fort Liscum,
and is receiving the congratulations
of his many friends on his promotion.
Captain Kidwell will probably be call
ed outside in the near future.
Mike Lueey is known to every
man, woman and child in the Idita
rod district. He is a typical irish
man and proud of it. Mike was called
as a witness for Johnny Beaton, the
other night when he was being admit
ted to citizenship in the U. S. Judge
Pratt asked the customary questions.
Mike claimed citizenship in the U. S.
by naturalization. Then came, “What
is your native country?” Mike was
astounded. He strongly suspected that
there was some fun going on at his
benefit. However, he threw back his
shoulders and said, “Oireland.” Even (
Judge Bunnel smiled.
