MAJOR RICHARDSON
IN THE INTERIOR
Was on the Lavelle Young
Bound for Fairbanks
Friday Night.
Major Richard; ou, head of the
Alaska road commission, was a
passenger on the Lavelle Young,
hound lor Fairbanks, Friday night.
It was near 11 o’clock when the
boat arrived and Major Richard-j
son’s passage on it was unannouti-1
ced; but a few citizens met and I
conferred with him during his two
hour stay. Among them was Com- ,
missioner Green vrepresenting the j
board of trade), Capt. A. D. Wil
liams and P. Kaffenburgh.
Major Richard:.ou was especially
pleased to meet Capt. Williams, j
who was so well qualified to speak j
of the route for a proposed road j
between this place and Fairbanks. j
Capt. Williams explained that the j
road might start at Cleary creek, 30 I
miles this side of Fairbanks, and |
run to Toulavana, fo Hootlatotna,1
to the old saw piton Hootlannr.a, to
No. 10 Eureka, and on to Rampart,
the whole distance between Fair
banks and Rampart not to exceed j
120 miles. With thirty miles built j
at each end a splendid winter trail
would be had and one passable at
all seasons.
From Major Richardson’s conver
sation and from letters to the board
of trade there is no doubt that the
road will be laid out—and con
structed, sooner or later.

HEADMAN'S BODY
FOUND NEAR TANANA
Commissioner Green Went
Down River to Hold
Inquest.
Commissioner J. Lindley Green
started for Tatiana in a small boat
Sunday night in response to a mes
sage stating that Dan Headman’s
body had been found in the river
near that place. The message said
that the body was identified by
John W. Duncan, manager for the
N. C. Co. at Rampart, and was
badly decomposed.
Headman was drowned about
three miles below Rampart June 25.
On the evening of his death the
N. C. pilot launch passed up, and
from statements attributed to Carlo
Jackette’s wife, who saw the man
in his swamped cat oe, some people
thought the launch possibly con
tributed to the accident. However,
Carlo Jackette himself says he saw
a man starting down river in some
kind of a small bolt after the launch
had reached Rampart; and it may
have been Headman in his canoe.
As coroner it is not known what
action Judge Green has decided on,
but it is presumed he left intending
to hold an inquest.
