NEW COAL BUNKER
A new coal bunker is being
erected at the rear of the Com
mission power plant, to take the
place of the structure recently torn
down. The new bunker will be 1G
feet high, about twice the height
of the original structure, 40 feet
long, and 20 feet wide, with stor
age room sufficient for about a
week’s run of coal.
The old bunker was too small
for economical use and it is the
intention to have the new bunker
ready in ample time for the recep
tion of the coal that will begin
moving toward town when through
traffic from the coal mine is resumed
later in the season.
There is still some coal on hand
from the early spring shipments,
A
but this will be burned before a j
new supply can be received, and it j
will be necessary, for a time, to |
use cordwood for fuel, for which j
arrangements are now being made, i
READY! READY!
For cleaning your suits? Sure. Al
ways ready. Bring ’em in. Charges
and work are both right—at

BASEBALL FANS
ARRANGE TO GO
TO OPPER TOWN
A considerable number of local
baseball enthusiasts, among whom ;
were Fred’k D. Browne, Dr. Mal
colm E. Smith, and W. L. Packer,
attended the meeting at the office
of Commissioner R. S. McDonald
last night, called for the purpose i
of discussing plans for playing a
return series at Fairbanks, and de
cided unanimously to make arrange
ments immediately for an excursion
to the upper town two weeks hence, j
Joe Fisher was appointed head of j
the arrangements committee, with ]
power to appoint such assistants as
might be deemed necessary to the
success of the excursion, and a
message was sent to Manager Chas
Beam, of the Fairbanks players, re
questing to know whether or not a
visit of Nenanaites on the date
mentioned would be agreeable to the
Fairbanksans.
Manager Beam replied this morn
ing, stating that his aggregation of
players and the Fairbanks public
generally would be pleased to have
the Nenana bunch make the trip.
Mr. Browne stated at the meet
ing last night that it would be pos
sible for the ball-players and such
others as might care to make the
trip, to use the Commission power
boat Midnight Sun. The cost of
making the round trip will not be
excessive, and it is believed that a
large number will avail themselves
of the opportunity to accompany
the Nenana team.
The plan is to start for the upper
town Friday night, August 15, ar
riving at Fairbanks sometime Sat
urday, and to return home Sunday
night.
Mr. Fisher desires that those in
tending to go leave their names
with him as soon as possible, so
that reservations may be made for
them. The accommodations are lim
ited and it is possible that the last
day will find a larger crowd on
hand than can find room on the
Commission boat.
Advices received by The News
from Fairbanks this afternoon state
that the proposed visit of Nenana
ites is a subject of general conver
sation there today, and there is the
assurance that local excrusionists
will find an enthusiastic welcome
awaiting them at the end of their
voyage up river.
The Fairbanksans naturally want
as many to come as can do so, but
they are particularly insistent upon
having Corporal (Dooley) Galvin ac
company the team in the capacity
of umpire. Qooley made a hit with
the Fairbanksans on the occasion of
the recent series, and they figure
the Nenana aggregation will not be
complete without him.
SCIENTISTS HAVE
COMPLETED PLANS
FOR TALK MONDAY
Arrangements have been perfect
ed by local Christian Scientists for
the free lecture to be given here
on Monday night by Charles I.
Ohrenstein, C. S. B., of Syracuse,
N. Y., who is a passenger on the
steamer Alaska, due here sometime
tomorrow. The lecturer is a mem
ber of the Board of Lectureship
of the Mother Church, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos
ton. The lecture will be given at
the Coliseum after the show on
Monday, starting at 9:30, and ev
eryone is cordially invited to be
present.
Mr. Ohrenstein is making the
rounds of Interior Alaskan towns,
having pome in by way of Skagway.
From Nenana he will go to Fair
banks, and then possibly back to the
coast by the overland trail.

The output of the Hot Springs
district will be twice what it was
last year, according to M. T.
(Shorty) Robinson, well-known old
timer of that camp, who arrived in
Nenana several days ago on urgent
business matters.
There has been an abundance
of water this summer, Mr. Robinson ■
says, with the result that the min- j
ing outfits on all the creeks are
very busy,* and gold is accumulating i
in the boxes at a rapid rate.
The biggest operations in the dis- j
trict are those of Howell & Cleve
land, on Tofty, where the ground
is being worked by the hydraulic
method. Four giants are being
used, and it is expected the 75,000
feet of bedrock stripped this sum
mer will yield very substantial re
turns. The work is being done
with a force of eight or ten men.
Several outfits are working on
Boulder creek, Kelly & Anderson,
i Dad Davidson, and Nels Peterson
: being the principal operators. Jack
el & Jasper are taking out some
money on Dry creek, and Ed Ness
is getting results with a scraping
j outfit on American.
Albrecht & Rolke are engaged in
• cutting wood for next winter’s op
erations on the old Bock fraction,
I where they expect to do considera
jble work.
The tailings on discovery, Sulli
[van creek, are being worked over
this summer, five men being en
gaged in the work.
Robinson owns some ground on
the lower end of Patterson creek,
j which he intends to prospect with
a drill as soon as he can make the
necessary arrangements. The ground
is too deep to prospect in any other
way.
There are about 350 people in
the Hot Springs district this sum
mer,- in the opinion of Mr. Robin
son, and all who care to work can
do so. In fact, he anticipates con
siderable of a shortage of labor be
fore the season is over.
Fre»h garden teed*, just arrived.

GEORGESON PURCHASES
YAK FOR INTERIOR FARM
Prof. C. C. Georgeson, who is in
charge of all the government farms
in Alaska, is authority for the state
ment that a small herd of yaks
will be shipped to the Fairbanks
| station this season, and they prob
Jably will arrive in the near future.
The animals were secured from the
Canadian government’s experiment
station at Banff, B. C., where they
|have proven to be valuable.
These animals were originally
brought into the Western world
from Thibet, where they are used
for milking, as meat producers, and
as beasts of burden. They answer
all the purposes of cattle for the
Thibetans.

The importation of the yak into the
