BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL ' f
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
The Jenkins Brothers, of Tal
keetna, recently received from
the outside a new motor tobog
gan, which they are putting
in service, supplanting the
dogs, which have been used
by them for hauling freight,
passengers and mail. The to
boggan has a 20-horsepower,
four-cylinder motor. The sled
is 12 feet long and 28 inches
wide. It is driven by an endless
tread, 12 inches wide by six
feet in length. The sled can hie
driven as slow as a man would
walk and up as high as 50
miles an hour. It will carry five
passengers, has an upholstered
seat over the tread, and can be
steered like an automobile by
two false runners under the
tobaggan.
J. W. Clark, of Nenana, was
recently sentenced to one year
in the Fairbanks jail, after he
had pleaded guilty to violating
the Alaska dry law. Clark was
released in January after serv
ing six months in jail for a sim
ilar offense. He had also been
fined $300 and, being unable
to pay the fine, had to serve
additional time in jail.
Fred Harrison, United States
District Attorney for the Sec
ond Division for several years,
has resigned that position, ac
cording to word just received
in Juneau. Mr. Harrison has
been in ill-health for a long
period and this was the cause
of his resignation.
Pending a permanent appoint
ment by President Hoover,
Judge G. J. Lomen has ap
pointed Charles R. Taylor of
Fairbanks, to act temporarily
in Mr. Harrison’s place. Mr.
Taylor was special assistant to
Mr. Harrison most of last year.
On a warrant cabled from An
chorage, Earl Karlson and
Anna Anderson were recently
arrested at Juneau on a charge
of violating the white slave
law. The warrant was sworn
to at Anchorage by the hus
band of the woman who, it
seems, was peeved over being
left with the couple’s six chil
dren to care for.
The body of Charles Daniel
son, oldtimer of the interior,
was found in his cabin on No.
4 Wolf Creek recently. As near
as can be determined, he had
been dead for some time when
found. Mr. Danielson was well
known in the Fairbanks dis
trict, having stampeded to that
place from Dawson in the
early days of the camp.
Th deputy U. S. Marshal at
Fort Yukon is holding a war
rant for the arrest of M. Lynch,
a trapper on the Coleen River,
on a charge of rape and has
arranged for the dispatch of
an airplane from Fairbanks to
Fort Yukon and thence to the
Coleen River, a tributary of
the Porcupine, and about 125
miles northeast of Fort Yukon,
in which he will travel to serve
the warrant.
The complaint against Lynch
was made by Ed. Owens, who
traveled to Fort Yukon from
the Coleen country to prefer
charges.
The offense is alleged to have
been committed upon Owen's
seven-year-old daughter. All
the persons concerned are
white.
RIVER PROTECTION
Continued from Page 1
gat-ding methods were offered
by Wm. Gray, head of the Hy
der Lumber Co., who said the
company had already spent
about $7,000 in protecting its
plant from the recurrent floods
and that citizens of the camp
had expended over $4,000 ad
ditional, and by S. P. Fitzger
ald, president of the Titan Gold
Mining Co., who asserted that
American shipping statistics
failed to disclose the import
ance of Hyder as a shipping
point, owing to the vast bulk
of mine machinery and sup
plies being shipped by the Can
adian lines to Stewart. Thou
sands of dollars worth of mine
machinery made in the U. S.
came into the Salmon River
district in this manner and is
forwarded' to the Canadian
mines through Hyder without
showing in local commerce
records. B. B. Smith and sev
eral others also spoke on simi
lar topics and O. F. Hill, Mrs.
J. L. Campbell and various
others described some of the
near disastrous flood condit
ions developing in earlier days.
E. D. Haddon, Judge Fox, Hol
ger Johnson and other citizens
also submitted data regarding
the resources of the district,
local commerce, mining traf
fic, ore output, and other mat
ters of similar character.
Major Gillette, after outlin
ing several methods for pro
viding both temporary and per
manent flood protection, sug
gested that that*a jetty or wing
dam structure extending west
ward from the rock point on
which the T. H. Evans resi
dence stands would provide
the cheapest and most effect
ive temporary protection for
the townsite. This was object
ed to by many speakers on the
ground that it might result in
the permanent inundation of
considerable settled land north
of the dam and within the
townsite area. The point was
immediately conceded by Maj
or Gillette, who explained that
we was not aware that so much
of the area was occupied. Col.
E. R. Stivers, Wm. McGrew, F.
R. Reichenback and several
others offered remarks on var
ious phases of the control situ
ation before the meeting con
cluded, with everyone feeling
that substantial progress had
benn made toward enlisting
federal assistance in safe
guarding the town.
After collecting considerable
additional data from various
local records, Major Gillette
left for Juneau this afternoon
and may possibly send in his
report before the close of the
present congressional session.
