NOYES SAYS CONDITIONS
ARE BAD IN THE STATES
Fred G. Noyes, pioneer resident
of Fairbanks, who arrived from the j
States on Saturday’s train, reports j
that conditions are very bad on the j
Outside. And it is his opinion that
it will be at least eighteen months
before there is a change for the
better. This situation in the States,'
he says, will cause a big influx of
people into Alaska—is causing it ‘
already, and the result will be a j
plentiful supply of labor for all j
purposes, and a revival of prospect-1
ing.
Mr. Noyes does not believe there |
is much chance for the passage of:
the gold bonus bill. He thinks thej
national lawmakers will hesitate long
before giving their approval to a
measure, the operation of which
might in any way affect the gold
standard. He believes the payment j
of a premium on virgin gold would j
tempt many people to attempt to I
remelt gold coins and disguise the j
metal as virgin gold Of course, he :
says, not all of such persons would j
succeed in their attempts to de-1
fraud the Government, but many of.
them would try, and the Govern- j
ment would be put to heavy expense !
to prevent the frauds and punish j
the offenders. Recognition of this i
danger, Mr. Noyes thinks, will pre
vent the passage of the bonus bill.
Questioned regarding the outlook
for the payment of additional divid
ends to the depositors of the defunct
Washington-Alaska Bank, of Fair
banks, of which he is receiver, Mr.
Noyes said that he could not make
any promises at this time, although
the actions which he has started in
'the courts against former directors
and others appear to be making
headway. He has secured judgments
for large amounts, but appeals have
been taken and there must be more
court proceedings, which will take
both time and money. Mr. Noyes
denies that Mrs. Barnette was giv
en a judgment against the receive’-,
as was reported in press dispatches
from San Francisco. But he says
her suit has complicated matters
somewhat and will cause consider
able delay and additional expense in
settling the estate. Complications
also have arisen in connection with
the big Barnette ranch in Mexico,
which the receiver hoped to secure
for the depositors. He is still hope
ful of getting it, but the recovery
will mean a legal battle.
Mr. Noyes believes the Govern
ment is making headway in its ef
forts to suppress the liquor traffic.
It is a big problem, he says and is
costing the Government a lot of
money, but he predicts that the
time is not far distant when results
will be apparent to everyone. The
employment of new agencies and
methods from time to time, he
thinks will solve the problem of
adeqaute law enforcement
Regarding conditions in Alaska,
Mr. Noyes believes that the country
would be helped greatly were the
Government to license gambling. He
advances the argument that life it
self in this Northern country is
nore or less of a gamble and he
jelieves Alaskans would be better
itted for the hills if given the op
portunity to train themselves at th?
faro table. When a man can lose
it cards and come up smiling the
next day, he can de depended upon
to keep on sinking holes after he
has sunk one hole and failed to
find the pay. Mr. Noyes believes
gambling, if properly regulated, is
a good thing for any frontier
country, and that it would be of
particular benefit to Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. Noyes reached Sew
ard just in time to be held up by
the big slide which has put the
Government railroad out of com
mission between Seward and An
chorage. They could have waited
several days for a boat to take
them around to Anchorage, but the
ice in Cook inlet did not look good
to Mr. Noyes, so he decided to
take a chance with dog team and
snowshoes to get him and Mrs.
Noyes across the slide. A train took
them to the break in the line and
a special was at the other side
when they arrived there, no difficulty
being experienced in getting over
the slide which.' covered the track for ■
a distance of about seven miles.
Captain McCann and several other
men were in the party. * i
At the time the slide occurred,1
two engines, two cabooses and a big
rotary snowplow. The outfit was at a
long trestle. The outfit was at a
standstill, with all members of the
crew at dinner in the cabooses. The
slide came down with terrific force
against the trestle, carrying 280
feet of it and the two engines and
snowplow into the ravine below.
The cabooses were virtually unin
jured, while the rest of the outfit
was buried beneath many feet of
snow and debris.
There was no snowplow or other
track-clearing equipment at the
Seward end of the line and, with
the trestle out, it was necessary to
put men at work, with shovels, to
I dispose of the snow, which covered
j the track for many miles. About
200 were at work when the Noyes
party happened along.
Mr. and Mrs. Noyes were in An
chorage over night only, catching
a train out the morning after their
arrival. They came across the trail
with Ole Jacobson and Mr. Noyes
came to town on Saturday, while
Mrs. Noyes remained at Healy, as
the guest of Mrs. Browne, until
yesterday. They went to Fairbanks
today.
Gabe Vendetti (Two for a quart) |
was taken into custody at Fairbanks
today on a charge of violating the
dry law. The officers found a still
and 40 bottles of mule. The hear
ing was scheduled to take place be
fore Commissioner Heilig this after
noon.
W. H. Bergman, master of the
army transport, General Jacobs, ar
rived in Nenana yesterday from the
States, enroute to the lower river..
He left town this afternoon.
