INCORPORATION COMMITTEE
PREPARING TO TAKE ACTION
The committee for incorporation,
appointed at a recent meeting of
citizens, to pave the way for the
incorporation of Nenana, met at
the T. & T. office last evening and
organized for work, William Taylor
! being elected chairman and Carl
Schmidt, secretary.
The secretary read telegrams and
i extracts from territorial laws per
taining to incorporation and, after
some discussion, it was decided
that the text of the Anchorage
petition for incorporation be used
! and made to conform to local con
j ditions.
It was also decided by the com
mittee to extend the present town
; limits so as to take in adjacent
' Government property, known as the
Railroad reserve. The new boundary
| will start from the Mission boundary
\ line on Tanana river, then running
: south to southwest comer of Mis
sion ground, then west to second
tier acre tracts, then south to south
east corner of tier of acre tracts
directly south of present Nenana
townsite, then west to the Nenana
river, then north along the Nenana
j river to the junction of 'Nenana and
1 Tanana rivers, then east up the
: Tanana river to the Mission line.
After some further discussion the
^ secretary was instructed to draw
up a petition for incorporation as
, soon as the necessary data for the
I proposed limits is received.

The funeral of Andrew Popovich,
| oldtimer whose death occurred at
the Government hospital on Thurs
| day afternoon, was held this more
j ing at eight o’clock, with numerous
friends and members of the local
igloo of Pioneers in attendance.
Handcars and small flat cars were
: used for the trip to the cemetery.
The deceased was a native of
Serbia and was 75 years of age.
He was an oldtimer in the country
and a resident of Fairbanks for
many years.
The following friends of the old
| timer acted as pallbearers: Geore
i Rich, Henry Pennoyer. Jack Coheen,
j Herbert Heathorn, Mike Coakley,

STEAMER TANANA BRINGS
BIG CARGO FOR NENANA
The steamer Tanana, which met
! and turned the steamer Yukon on
; the Tanana river in the vicinity of
jTolovana, arrived in port late yes
terday afternoon with the Yukon’s
| passengers and freight from both
j the upper and lower Yukon river.
; The freight included a barge of
rails and a shipment of timbers for
‘the Alaskan Engineering Commission
and considerable general freight for
i Nenana and Fairbanks.
After a short stay in port, the
i Tanana left for Fairbanks and is
i scheduled to return down river to
; connect with the steamer Alaska,
j from Dawson.
; The Tanana had a number of tour
I ists on board, and the following
l passengers for Nenana: Mrs. Lip
man Simson and three children,
Alice Wright, Evelin M. Nidon,
Katherine Bridgeman, Marion L.
Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Jack O’Con
nor, L. A. Powless, O. W. Broman,
I Mrs. May Collins, J. S. Gosser,
Miss S. R. Cotchett, D. J. Sivea- j
right, E. L. Laughlin.
That Fairbanks is determined to
win tomorrow’s game of baseball
in the upper town is indicated by
the fact that Pitcher Brooks has
been requisitioned from Healy to
play with the Fairbanks team. A
speeder was sent to town this morn
ing with the soldier-twirler from the
end of steel, and the ferry held
at Nenana until his arrival, to con
nect with the gascar for Fairbanks.j
Brooks pitched for the Nenana team
in the second game of the Fourth
of July series.
Mrs. Langstrom was among the
passengers leaving for Fairbanks on
yesterday’s train.
LAUGHLIN SAYS SEATTLE IS
WORST TOWN ON THE COAST
Of ail the towns on the Pacific
coast, Seattle appears to be having
the hardest time getting back to
normal conditions, according to E.
L. Laughlin, well known oldtimer,
who returned to N'enana last night
on the steamer Tanana. He went
Outside last September to get the
flu out of his system and he has
spent much of his time during the
past nine months loafing along the
coast, from Seattle to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, Mr. Laughlin says,
has not felt the genera! depression
to any great extent, for the reason
that the city is supported largely
by tourist money. Things are very
prosperous there now, with a very
substantial increase in building op
orations. resulting from a drop of
about 25 per cent in the cost of
building material. For a time no one
would build on account of the high
prices, but as soon as prices drop
ped there was a tremendous in
crease in building operations.
Mr. Laughlin says Los Angeles
has issued licenses for 166.000 auto
mobiles. Nearly everyone has a car
and most of them are low-priced.
San Francisco appears to be get
ting back to normal rapidly. Mr.
Laughlin was told that conditions
had not been particularly bad there
and he attributes it to the fact that
the San Francisco people did not
profiteer as much as did residents
of other cities and to the further
fact that the Bay City rests on a
solid business foundation.
With regard to Seattle, the old
timer says that city has the appear
ance of one trying to recover from
a six-years debauch. Everything was
lovely while the stimulant lasted but
just now the city has a very severe
headache, with no relief in sight
Mr. Laughlin was told that there
were 50,000 people out of employ
ment in the Spirit City. Of this
number, he says, there are probably
10,000 who would not work under
any conditions, and another 10,000
who will not accept the lower wages
which must come with a return to
normal conditions.
Logs, which commanded a price
of $40 during the war, are worth
only $12 per thousand now, and
loggers are paid $2.75 a day, with
a deduction from that for board.
Mr. Laughlin says he was told
that Secretary Fall would visit the
North during the present summer,
in company with Secretary of the
Navy Denby. It was expected that
he would visit Interior Alaska and
that he would be accompanied by
James Wickersham, as special ad
viser.
There was also a report in circu
lation on the coast to the effect that
it is the intention of Secretary Fall
to turn the Alaska railroad over
to the Southern Pacific to operate
for the Government.
Mr. Laughlin was surprised to
find Nenana still on the map when
he arrived here. He heard all along
the way that the town had been put
out of business and he expected to
find most of the buildings deserted
and the bulk of the population gone.
Something should be done, he thinks,
to correct the erroneous impression.
The oldtimer, who has been identi
fied with railroad construction from
the start of the work, does not
know yet just what he will do, but
he says he is back to stay until the
railroad is completed, confident that
with proper management, it will
prove a real benefit to the Interior
country.
Speaking of politics, Mr. Laugh
lin says Delegate Dan Sutherland,
Governor Bone and Judge Wicker
sham are the three men in terri
torial affairs. National Committee
man McBride is a dead one, he
says, because of his effort to secure
the appointment of Hazelet as gov
ernor. And he declares that Wicker
sham will come back strong, not
withstanding his failure to .and the
governorship.
Mrs. Tony O’Malley is paying a
brief visit to Fairbanks, having left
for the upper town yesterday.
