ARR YUKON RIVER BOATS
PREPARING FOR 50TH
YUKON BOAT OPERATION
NENANA—Crews were putting
fresh coats of paint on two Alas
ka Railroad river boats Nenana
and Alice at the shipyards here
today, preparing for the 50th
year of operation of boats on the
Yuokn.
First sailing of the Nenana—a
1028-gross ton steamboat—iis ten
tatively set for 8 a.m., May 28.
The Nenana will make eight trips
to Marshall, 120 miles from the
Yukons mouth (1548-mile round
trip) and return. The trip takes
two weeks.
The Alice, a 237-ton stern
wheeler will paddle up the Ta
nana to the Yukon and then up
river to Ft. Yukon, a trip of 530
miles. The Alice will follow no
I set schedule and make trips as
, the freight needs of the village
| enroute dictate.
With only space available for
1 10 passengers on the Nenana, and
no room for tourists aboard the
Alice, bookings will be strictly
limited.
Loss of the Yukon, which could
accommodate 88 passengers, first
class, was a crushing blow to
tourists' hopes for making a Yu
kon River trip.. The steamboat
Yukon was caught in the quick
freeze-up at Tanana in October,
1946. In the spring break-up of
: 1947. ice stove a 32-foot hull in
the boat’s hull. She was patched
and brought here, but will be
I stripped and used only for her
'salvage material.
About 1200 tons of freight are
destined for points up and down
• he river. The freight is placed
aboard barges and the steamships
push them along. Towing is im
possible in the S-shaped bends
of the river.
Freight in the railroad shed
here is marked for the following
j villages: Woodehopper, Eagle. Ft.
| Yukon. Marshall, Holy Cross. An
! vik. Galena. Kokrines, Tolovana,
| Hot f.springs. Minto, Kovukuk,
Nulato, Ruby. Kaltag, Shageluk.
| Iditarod-Fhit.
I Tentative schedule of the Ne
i nana is as follows: sailing from
j here at 8 a.m.. May 28: at 3 p.m.
■ ,June la and 29: on July 13 and
27: on August 10 and 24: and on
1 September 8.

WARDENS GIVE HUNTERS
PLENTY OF ACTION
i *
LAVONIA. Ga. (UP) When a
j posse of county game wardens
1 descended on a preserve near
| here, things started happening
fast in a party of hunters:
One Nimrod, reportedly a doc
! toi with a weak heart, outdis
I lanced the officers in a cross
- country sprint —without damag
| ing his heart or his reputation,
i Another hunter, less fleet-foot
! ed, used his brain instead and
told each warden in turn that an
other warden had “tagged" him.
Two others got busy “repair
ing" machinery in a nearby barn
while two more “fell” into a
ditch and remained there until
nightfall offered a screen.
