BIG POWER BOAT ARRIVES
TO WORK ON TANANA RIVER
The Alaskan Engineering Com
i mission stern wheel power boat
! Matanuska, which has been in use
j on coast division waters during- the
i past several years, arrived from An
j chorage last week by special train.
I f or use on the Tanana river during
! the coming summer and during the
period of bridge construction.
The successful transportation of
the boat, which measures over 60
feet, required the construction of a
special car and the careful balancing
of the craft on its side to permit
passage through cuts and tunnels.
The boat was moved under the
, direction of Archie Adams, traveling
engineer of the A. E C.
The Matanuska was completely
dismantled before starting on the
long land journey across Broad Pass
the equipment requiring three cars
for its transportation,
j The Matanuska will take the place
; of the stern wheeler Midnight Sun,
which has been doing duty on the
Interior rivers for many years, first
as part of the outfit of the Alaska
Boundary survey, and later as gen
eral utility craft for the railroad or
! ganization. used latterly chiefly as
a ferry boat between Nenar.a and
' North Xenana. The new boat is of
| SO horsepower.
Merle McCambridge will be in
command of the Matanuska.
NENANA VOTERS PICKING
BOARDS AT QUIET ELECTION
The voters of Xenana are enesg
ed today in the selection of officer*
to preside over the affairs of the
j city and school during the ensuing;
; fiscal year. There are ten candidates
in the race for election to the seven
places on the city council, six of
the candidates being members of
the council which has served the
city since the date of incorporation.
The others are solid men of the
| community and fully capable of as
suming the duties which will be
theirs if they are elected. So the
city is safe, no matter where the
' choice may fall.
There are only three candidates
seeking election as members of the
j school board, so all three are cer
tain of election. They are Fred
Major, member of the present board.
Frank Teufel and Burdette Tunison.
Less than fifty votes had been cast
up to noon but it was expected
there would be more spirited action
during the afternoon, sufficient, at
least, to bring the total to the mark
set by the last election. The polls
will remain open until seven o’clock
and all voters of the city are urged
; to avail themselves of their right
of franchise. The voting is restricted
to citizens who have resided in the
Territory one year and within the
city for six months.
The election is being conducted
by Mrs. V. H. Peirce and Miss C. G.
Heid, as clerks, and by Mrs. J. H.
Flower and Harry Owen and A1
Wigand as judges.
The candidates whose names at>
pear on the official ballot, for coun
cil, are: Tom Smith, Henry Rappolt,
J. H. Flower. William Taylor, W. H.
Gilcher, Alfred J. Ghezzi, Charles E.
Eergamn. W. A. Coghill, M. J. Coon
ey and R. G. Southworth.
Roy Hershberger, formerly in the
employ of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission as resident engineer in
the Canyon district, is now at
Johnstown, Pa., where he roports
having spent an enjoyable winter.
He has been taking things easy
since leaving Alaska.
PIONEERS SCORE SUCCESS
AT BENEFIT FOR OLDTIMER
The Frontier Xight. staged at
Union Hall on Saturday night by
the local Pioneers for the benefit of
, Ed Laaerty, well known oldtimer
who is permanently crippled at An
chorage as the result of freezing his
hands arid feet, was one of the big
gest successes, socially and Snancial
j ly, ever held in Xenana. There was
a record crowd in attendance and
when the returns were all in, it was
found that the benefit had netted the
sum of $800.90. The gross receipts
totaled $959.00.
All kinds of oldtime gambling
games were in evidence and received
heavy play throughout the evening.
Fortunes (in benefit money) were
won and lost at faro, roulette and
the crap table and. before the lid
was replaced, the "script” was cir
culating with the care free manner
of the old Dawson days. Mike Goon
an broke the faro bank a couple of
times during the evening, and Pete
, Schmidt let the girls get several
fortunes away from him. almost as
fast as he won them.
The gaming tables were arranged
along the sides of the hall and the
main floor was reserved for dancing,
the ladies receiving tickets every
time they danced. When the prizes
were awarded. Mrs. George Perusse
' possessed the highest number of
, tickets. The second prize went to
Mrs. R. E. Burns and the third
| prize to Mrs. Laska.
Toward the close of the evening
[ a number of cakes and other articles
were sold by means of the wheel of
chance.
The affair was handled in a very
capable manner by the Pioneers,
the music was the best heard in
Xenana in recent years, the games
[ were strictly on the ‘square” and
the variety of amusement was such
that it was nearly four o’clock be
fore the hall was cleared.
