FAIRBANKS EDITOR WHO
IS REAL LIVE WIRE
John E. Pegues, editor of tha Fair
banks Citizen, was in the city Satur
day, and left on Sunday’s train for the
Interior.
Mr. Pegues, who has been in the
signal service of the United States
army, was discharged Friday at Val
dez. He had received a furlough sev
eral months ago to take up newspaper
work, and was compelled to make the
trip from Fairbanks to report and gain
his discharge.
Mr. Pegues is the author of the
somewhat ambiguous slogan, “Alaska
can pay the nation’s war debt,” and
is one of the most consistent boosters
for the Interior and for Alaska gen
erally among a community of boost
ers. His present ambition is to have
the newspapers of the territory co
operate in a campaign of boosting for
the entire territory instead of for any
particular section.
His glowing accounts of agricul
tural, mining and railroad conditions
in the Interior act as a wholesome
antidote to the doleful tales that some
times reach here from departing
Alaskans.

BUSINESS TRANSACTED
BY TOWN COUNCIL
, ... —
Attention was called to the Council
at their meeting last night of the con
dition of the main trunk sewer near
the bulkhead on First street, to the
cross walk in front of the Empress
theater building needing repair, and
to the surface water running into the
basement of the Windsor hotel, all of
which was referred to the street com
mittee, with power to act and make
the necessary repairs.
The matter of having ordinances
to cover the chimney question, the
dog question and the fire chief ques
tion were discussed and referred to
the judiciary committee.
In the matter of the water running
off of the roofs of the Ostrander
building, the clerk was instructed to
notify the owners of these buildings
and instruct them to make the proper
arrangements to handle the water.
Councilman A. J. MacConnell was
granted a sixty-day leave of absence.

MONTANA SMELTER TOWN
THREATENED BY FIRE
HELENA, Mont., Aug. 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A fire which threatens
to wipe out East Helena, the smelter
town located six miles east of here,
is raging.
Thirty houses already have been
burned, and the flames are spreading
toward the business section. Little
water is available and a high wind is
blowing.
GOVERNOR IS ON BOARD
STEAMSHIP ALAMEDA
Word was received by T. J. Dorohoe
from the governor’s office at Juneau
last evening that Governor Thomas
Riggs, Jr., was a passenger on board
the steamship Alameda, which is due
here tomorrow afternoon.
The telegram contained no details as
to the trip of the governor, but it is
not believed that his destination is
Cordova, although, of course, he will
be here for some hours. It is thought
possible by Mr. Donolioe that the chief
executive is on his way to the west
ward on a hunting excursion.

ITEMS OF INTEREST i [
FROM LOCAL SHOPS
I
Engine No. 70, whose crash through
the Chitina bridge last fall resulted
in the death of the fireman, was
placed in commission Sunday, after
having been practically rebuilt at the
shops. She took out a string of 32
cars and ran true to form.
Engine No. 73 is in the shops under
going light repairs.
The big rotary snow plows are
being tuned up for their strenuous
season’s work.
The motive power in the machine
shop was shifted from the floor to
the ceiling last week, giving more
room around the machines they serve.
Foreman Jim Sheridan has been
giving some attention to the boiler
rooms in the machine shop, with the
result that it is now more econom
ically operated and has greater effi
ciency for the increased power de
manded by the heavy fall repair
work.
Master Mechanic Dustin is up the
line looking over the equipment.
Several new men have been added
to the payroll, both in the round
house and machine shop, the past
week. Overtime and Sunday work
is the rule rather than the exception,
as the rolling stock will be called on
for its utmost efficiency to meet the
company’s program of working mines,
mills and railway to capacity during
the winter.
The deer season will open the 15th
of August. Everyone in the territory
will be entitled to their share of ven
ison if they can get it. The big diffi
culty has been lately in getting what’s
coming to them.—Douglas News.
