| J. A. Fairborn, general agent of
the A. Y. N. company, came down
, from Fairbanks on Friday and has
I been busily engaged since that time
in getting the members of the
i various crews, just arrived from
I the States, started on their way to
j Tolovana, Tanana and Rampart, to
! get the steamers Alaska, Yukon and
I Seattle No. 3 ready for commission,
j He returned to Fairbanks today.
j Arrivals from the coast report
• that the commission tractors, which
were snow-bound for a time, are
' again moving railroad supplies and
material north from the end of
' steel.
! __
1 It is said that Captain McCann.
. who arrived from the States this
| week to take charge of the steam
I er Yukon, had considerable difli
i culy getting across the trail from
the coast end of steel.. It appear?
j that some of the captain’s friends
’ who preceded him, left word at the
various roadhouses that the captair
and several otfier steamboatmen
were having a lot of fun along the
, way beating their roadhouse bills
: and the roadhousemen were warned
to get their money in advance when
the skipper and his companions ap
plied for accommodations. The re
; suit of the hoax was, so the story
goes, that the genial captain an<
the members of his party were noi
greeted with cordiality when they
' asked for meals and lodging, and i1
is said that the owner of one trai.
establishment actually hauled in tht
latchstring when he saw them com
ing along the trail.
But the meanest stunt pulled by
a steamboatman since navigation
closed, was one put across in San
Francisco during the winter by
Jules Oliver. He was stopping at a
hotel on the south side of Market
one one evening, being hungry for
a good steak, asked the clerk w'ner:
he could find something appetising,
The clerk directed him to a place
a couple of blocks south where they
made a specialty of steaks and the
oldtimer set out to find it. He had
not gone far when he noticed that
the street was not well lighted and
at about the same time, he was ac
costed by- a well dressed man wh<
addressed some question to him
followed by the pressure of a gu:
against Jules’ ribs. Jules promptly
produced some small change and in
formed the highwayman that he
was looking for a place to buy r
meal within the limits of his modes!
bankroll. Whereupon the holduf
man, returned the change and gav(
Jules a quarter, in addition, to pay
for a night’s lodging. And ail th«
time the wily Alaskan had severa
hundred dollars secreted about hi:
person, in currency and travelers
checks.
! J. A. Haney and Ed. Jern arrived
from the Kantishna on Sunday, hav
ing made the trip in from the Tok
j lat by way of the new shortcut trail
| They report the trail in excelled
j condition for travel, and with little
; indication of breaking. Mr. Haney
; w-ho left for Fairbanks today wit!
: some samples of ore from his ledge
1 says that the Kantishna will have
about 600 tons of ore for shipment
to the smelter this summer and he
predicts that the shipment of sup
plies into the district will be un
' usually heavy.

BERT KERN SAYS ALASKA
HAS THE OUTSIDE BEAT '
! “Alaska looks mighty good to me”
declared R. W. Kern, chief engi
neer of the steamer Yukon, to a
representative of The News yester
day, upon his arrival from the Out
1 side enroute to Tanana, where the
j Yukon is in winter quarters. “Con
ditions are not as good as they
might be,” he continued, “and I in
tend to stay with the North from
now on, winter as well as sum
mer.” And he says, further, that
there are many others, who know
Alaska, who feel just as he does
about it.
1 Mr. Kern spent the winter in
Oregon, with a Ford and not much
, else on his hands. He had a lot of
fun, riding* around the country,
j but when the time came to start
j North he was ready, and then
i
, some. He came North on the steam
er Northwestern, to Seward, and
I then around to Anchorage on the
Watson. There was considerable ice
in the harbor at Anchorage, but no
difficulty was experienced in mak
ing a landing at the dock.
Mr. Kern and other members of
the Yukon’s crew left for Tanana
today, on the last leg of their long
journey.

CHARLES BOERNER RETURNS
j TO BECOME CIRCLE AGENT
i -
C. A. Boerner, who has been in
the employ of the Northern Com
mercial company most of the time
since the early Yukon days, as navi
gator and agent, arrived in Nenana
on Saturday from San Francisco,
enroute to Circle, to take charge
of the company’s store at that place.
He will relieve Agent Whitman,
i who has been transferred to the
, Dawson store.
Like others who have returned
to Alaska during the past few weeks
Mr. Boerner says things are pretty
tough in the States, with many out
of work and prices not much low
er than during the war days. And
he predicts that prices will con
tinue high until labor costs have
been lowered materially.
The automobile industry has been
very hard hit by the slump in buy
ing. Numerous of the big plants are
entirely closed and others are work
ing only part time. There is very
little demand for new machines, and
used cars are for sale all over the
country for very low prices.. Many
people who bought machines when
work was plentiful, now find them
selves forced to dispose of them at
almost anything they can get.
Mr. Boerner went to Fairbanks
today and will go over the trail to
Circle. He was stationed at Iditarod
last year and was attached to the
San Francisco office of the company
during the winter.
