SOME FACTS ABOUT
NEW FIRE TRUCK
The new auto fire truck recently
purchased by the town of Cordova is
now ready for instant service, and
the following facts, furnished by Al
derman MacConnell, will give some
idea as to its capacity for fire fight
ing;
The machine is the product of the
American La France Engine Com
pany. Tts equipment consist of 1,000
feet of 2 V2-mch hose, one forty-gallon
steel chemical tank, made of one
piece, seamless, cold drawn steel;
200 feet of three-fourths inch chemi
cal hose, tested to 400 pounds’ pres
'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiimimmiiniiiiimiiiimnniiiininniinfflnminimiimiimniiniiiniiiniminniiniiiiiii
sur£; two three-gallon Babcock ex
tinguishers; one twenty-foot rapid
hoist ladder; one twelve-foot roof
ladder.
Its cost, f. o. b. Seattle, was $2,100.
COAST NAVIGATORS
RECEIVE HIGHER PAY
---
At a conference with United States
shipping board officials in San Fran
cisco recently the officials and crews
of Pacific coast vessels secured wage
increases that place them on the
same basis as mariners on the Atlan
tic and Gulf coasts, according to ad
vices received in Seattle. It is under
stood that the same scale has also
"been accepted by the private owners.
The pay of deck officers varies ac
cording to the power-tonnage classi
fication of the vessel. Under the
new agreement captains will receive
from $330 to $412 a month, which
means an increase of about 25 per
cent. First officers will receive from
$216 to $241; second officers from
$187 to $212; third officers from $163
to $188, and fourth officers from $158
to $165.
The agreement is retroactive from
July 28 and will hold good until Aug.
1, 1920.
ARBUCKLE STARTS
NEWSPAPER AGAIN
The publication of the Iditarod
Pioneer, a weekly newspaper pub
lished at Iditarod by George M. Ar
buckle until about a year ago, has
been resumed, according to arrivals
from that district at Nenana. The
owner of the plant returned to the
Iditarod country from the States early
this summer, after an absence of a
year, and announces that he will give
the people of the camp a paper as
long as there is a sufficient demand
for news.
IDITAROD DISTRICT
STILL GOOD PRODUCER
The output of the Iditarod dis
trict this year will not exceed one
million dollars, according to arrivals
from that part of Alaska on the
steamer Alaska, which reached Ne
nana recently. This falling off in the
yield is due to the fact that one of
the big dredges of the district, the
one formerly operated on Flat creek,
is idle this season.
Conditions generally are favorable
for mining, with an abundance of
water, and the two dredges on Otter,
which are working almost side by
side, are taking out a lot of money.
One of the machines is known as the
Otter dredge, formerly owned by the
miiiiiiiiiiiiniiifliiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiliiM
.. ... .. - .. .- -■- -
| Riley interests, and the other is the _
' property of Beaton & Donnelley. ^
As has been the case in all In
terior Alaska camps, there has been
a considerable decline in the popu
lation of the Iditarod district, and
those who remain there are scat
tered over a large area. It is esti
mated that there are approximately
400 people on the several creeks
and every man in the district is busy.
In fact, the demand for labor has
been greater than the supply during 8
the greater part of the season.
KLONDIKE DREDGES
BEING SENT TO INDIA |
Included in the list of down-river a
freight taken by the steamer Yukon, i
sailing from Dawson recently, was
thirty tons which is going to St.
Michael. This freight is the first
shipment of parts of two of the Yukon ;
Gold Company’s big dredges which
have just been dismantled on Bonan
za and Eldorado creeks.
The dredges, it is understood, are
being taken to Burma and India.
There they will be used in dredging
for tin, according to statements made
by the company officials.
