wings, curtains and accessories that '
would do credit to a larger place,
has been built in the hall during
the past week.

TANANA MAY GET
A COMMISSIONER
It is known that inquiries have
recently been made through official
souices regarding conditions at
Tatiana. It is thought that this
was clone in order to determine
whether or not it is advisable to
provide that place with a United
States commissioner and a deputy
marshal. United States Deputy
Marshal Charles Dreibelhis recently
answered a brief inquiry as to
whether lawlessness exists at Tan
ana or not by stating that he is
aware of none.
In point of fact, Tatiana, like the
balance of the interior, has been
remarkably free from crime. On
Nov. 17 it was reported that an at
tempt had been made to bum a
cabin there, but that is the only
offense heard of for months.
The population of the camp now
amounts to nearly four hundred,
including the soldiers, and the
floating population will be large
in future on account of travel to
and from Fairbanks. It is proba
able, therefore, that the increased
importance of the place will soon
make a commissioner and deputy
marshal advisable, notwithstanding
its good order.

the last week in last September. It
is not known here whether the
Fairbanks mail will come by way of
Tati ma or by way of Kagle.
A brief telegram from Fairbanks
i few (|a> s ago said: ■’Three mail
carriers from Valdez to Fairbanks
have hard trip: lose all their flogs
and have to cache mail."
Mail Carrier Hob Shabcr got in
from Tatiana last Saturday night
without any mail. The contractors
claim the first up river mail on the
regular winter schedule was iu>t
due to leave Tatiana till Dec. 7.
Mail lett k impart 11st Sunday fot

is due to leave each Saturday or
