A temperature of between 36 and 40
degrees below zero and a gale of al
most hurricane proportions combined
to hold up traffic in the Big Delta
country for a couple of days last
week.
By the collapse of a huge tank the
Harris cannery at Hawk inlet lost
nearly $5,000. The tank, having a
capacity of 5,000 gallons of oil, had
just been filled in anticipation of next
season’s work.
The boys and girls of the Fairbanks
high school have organized a debating
society. A recent debate drew nearly
100 spectators. The girls won, as
might be expected with two men on
the jury.
Last week the natives at Yakutat
went to Setuck to attend a potlatch
given by the Dry Bay Indians, and
while there Johnny Bremner, a young
boy, fell off a bridge and was drown
ed before he could be rescued.
Residents of Juneau and Douglas
have incorporated the Freshwater
Bay Canning company with a capital
of $200,000 and will operate a fish
canning plant at the bay after which
the company is named.
Annie Jones, a resident of Juneau,
was found guilty in the commission
er’s court at that place of selling li
quor without a license, and was fined
the sum of $2,000 and costs. An ap
peal was taken to the district court.
The native policeman at Kake re
cently arrested John Peterson on the
charge of peddling booze to the na
tives of that place, and on trial in
the commissioner’s court at Peters
burg he was sentenced to 250 days in
jail.
J. P. Gherman, of Fairbanks, will
.give of his skin to graft on the neck
and arms of his little daughter, who
was the only survivor of the fire which
destroyed his cabin a short time ago,
in which two other children lost their
lives.
W. G. Whorl, of Seldovia, left for
the outside recently to secure a plant
for salmon and a clam cannery at
that place. He states that clams can
be secured more easily at Seldovia
than at Cordova, the beds being prac
tically unlimited.
Life under the bright lights of Ne
nana has proved such an attraction to
the natives of that vicinity that they
are neglecting all work to indulge in
this recreation and as a consequence
the tribe is in danger of starving to
death unless means can be found to
compel the bucks to go to work.
Mayor J. G. Watts is out with an
other reward but this time it is not
cash but simply immunity. His Hon
or will appreciate very much the re
turn of his copy of the 1913 code of
the territorial laws and ask no ques
tions neither will be charge rental nor
make reference to the seventh com
mandment.
Jack Harland arrived in Anchorage
Saturday and will remain a few days
in the city on business with the den
tist. Jack has a camp at Mile 28
and is getting out the mining timbers
for the Martin and Independence
mines in the Willow creek district.

AT OTHER END
(Nenana News.)
Although at present there is com
paratively little work in progress on
the interior end of the government
railroad, everything is in readiness to
push the work to the utmost as soon
as the weather will permit a resump
tion of activities. In discussing plans
for the spring work Mr. Riggs stated
yesterday that track laying in the di
rection of the coal fields would be car
ried on with energy during the coming
summer, and if there is any coal
ready for shipment next fall the' com
mission would have trains ready to
deliver it to Nenana. Mr. Riggs also
stated with positiveness that the road
between Nenana and Fairbanks would
be completed by the end of 1918.
There is a probability that no fur
ther attempt will be made to operate
the steam shovel this winter. The
weather conditions are such, Mr.
Rigs says, that the work cannot be
done now with economy. It is believ
ed, however, that the work can be re
sumed in the spring before the snow
leaevs the ground.
The piledriver, which is driving
piling for trestles and bridges along
the grade to the south of Nenana, is
making satisfactory progress, al
though the work is necessarily slow
on account of frost encountered. A
mess house, built on runners, was
sent out the grade during the week
and should add greatly to the comfort
of the piledriver crew, besides hasten
ing the work.
There are fewer men in the employ
of the commission at present, in this
division, than at any time during the
past several months. The number, in
cluding contractors, is 362, and it is
expected that it will remain at about
that figure until more active opera
tions are resumed early next spring.
Only a few days more to have your
eyes correctly examined for glasses.
