SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
Clarence Boatman, manager of
George Morrison’s forx farm at Hot
Springs, recently shipped thirty-five
si^er fox skins to an Outside fur
house.
Fifteen young Fairbanks couples,
mostly high school students, enjoyed
a hayride to the government experi
* ment station, returning home after
midnight.
Waiter Rowson, former Fairbanks
boy, who was recently discharged
from the United States afiny with the
rank of captain, has opened ^a law
office at Tonopah, Nev.
Miss Emily Townsend, who was em
ployed for a time at the Fairbanks
^lephone office, has accepted a posi
tion as stenographer in the marshal’s
office at Fairbanks, succeeding Miss
Marian Creamer, now Mrs. R. C.
Wood.
A small fire at the residence of M.
B. Snodgrass, superintendent of the
government experiment station, called
the Fairbanks fire department out re
cently, and the blaze was extinguished
without difficulty and with practically
;no damage.
.
The necessity of proper and ade
quate roads for the Interior of Alaska
is to be considered at a meeting of
the Alaska Chapter of the American
Mining Congress, which will be held
on February 6 at the Fairbanks sta
tion of the bureau of mines.
P a
Robert E. Sheldon, veteran auto
stage man of the Fairbanks-Chitina
trail, has acquired a third interest in
the Samson Hardware Company at
Fairbanks, having purchased the in
terest in the concern held by Mrs.
Cora Hamilton. The sale is reported
to have involved a considerable sum
of money.
Deputy Marshal Long of Ruby has
been ordered to proceed to Flat City,

of an insane native who was recently
taken into custody there. Long will
take the native to Gibbon, from which
point the Gibbon deputy will take the

Commission men, wholesalers and
others through whose hands provi
sions pass before they reach the con
sumer are responsible for existing
high prices, according to Ed Wolcott,
secretary to Judge Charles E. Bun
nell, who returned to Fairbanks re
cently from a stay of several weeks in
central California, where he owns a
fruit ranch.
Manager Dick Thorne, movie mag
nate of Fairbanks, announced that be
ginning February 8 but one show a
night would be given at his theater. It
\as been the custom to give two
shows nightly except on Sundays and
special feature nights, but the popula
tion has dwindled to such an extent
that one show is now sufficient to ac
commodate the picture fans.

According to telegraphic advices re
ceived from Seattle, the Brower stage
line or the steamship companies op
erating between Cordova and Puget
sound, or both, made a miserable mess
of carrying Interior Alaska Christmas
packages to the States. The outgoing
service during the month of Decem
ber was worse, if possible, than the
service northward, and is occasioning
.much complaint.—Nenana News.
The Russell home at Nenana was
the Scene of a jolly farewell party
which was given in honor of Franklin
J. Rogers, former employe of the
Alaskan engineering commission, who
left for the coast to have a look at
the Portland canal district, where
there is promise of a boom of consid
erable proportion during the .early
spring. 4
Alaska will not benefit from the
teaching of Americanization as pro
vided in a bill recently introduced in
congress, according to information ob
tained by the Alaska bureau of the 4
Seattle Chamber of Commerce. The
bill provides for the appropriation of
512,500,000 for teaching foreigners to
read, write and speak English within
continenntal United States, exclusive
of Alaska. i
According to recent jarrivals from
the Tolovana district, the federal and
territorial officials who are engaged
in an attempt to check the manufac
ture of hootch in that locality are hav
ing some difficulty in securing con- ^
victions, and there is talk of taking
the next case either to Nenana or
Fairbanks for trial.
