H. J. Rush, who was formerly at
tached to the Kestly party, near
Healy, returned to Nenana from
Fairbanks on Tuesday and reports
having had considerable difficulty
reaching the upper town. He left
the Kestly camp on May 2 with a
ticket for Fairbanks and all went
well until he stepped from the train
at a station north of Dunbars, to
speak to a friend. While thus en
gaged the train pulled out and left
him, necessitating a hike of 14
miles to his destination. It is need
less to say he stuck close to his
seat on the return trip.
Reports from the Southern divi
sion state that there is a washout
at Mile 236. Trains have been un
able to pass that point for several
days and it is said that repairs will
not be compleded before Sunday.
a
Bridge Foreman McGill has quite
force of men at work south of
I
neaiy getting timbers ready for the
bridges to be erected near the end
of steel. The rails cannot be ad
vanced south of the Kestly camp
until this work is completed.
A road gang is at work cutting
a new wagon road from the Kestly
camp to the main wagon road ex
tending south from Healy. The
Kestly camp is now headquarters
for all freighting to points south
of present end of steel and probably
will remain headquarters until the
rails reach Riled creek.
A considerable quantity of black
powder is reported to have expl • 1 ;d
close to the Abbott camp this week
but no one seems to know just
what caused the explosion. No one
was hurt and it is understood that
no damage resulted beyond the loss
of the powder.
Mail Superintendent Dan Leech
left Healy on Tuesday, headed
toward the coast. It is understood
that he is going to Anchorage to
wind up the affairs of the mail car
rying department of the Commis
sion. The mail contract will be ter
minated this month.
It is reported that deputies are
to be stationed at nearly all the
camps along the railroad. ,
There was a shower of Tain at.
Healy yesterday.
It is expected that Tunnel No. "
will be completed about June 10,'
which will end the tunnel work in
the Northern division.
Orville Decker, timekeeper at
the Kestly camp, arrived in town
yesterday and returned to the can- i
yon this morning.

BAD CONDITIONS IN STATES
TURNING OLDTIMERS BACK
In the opinion of C. W. Felch,
veteran traveling man who arrived
in Nenana yesterday on his annual
visit to Interior Alaska, says
many oldtime Northerners will be
coming back to Alaska during the
summer because of the unsettled
conditions in the States. Mr. Felch
says that readjustment of conditions
on the Outside is progressing rather
slowly, with trading very much re
stricted in virtually all lines, and
[ many people out of work. If con
ditions have improved lately, the
change is not noticeable and he
J does not look for much improve
ment for some time to come—not
enough improvement, at any rate,
to stop the tide of travel which
has set in toward the North. This
tide, Mr. Felch believes, will in
crease in volume as the months
pass and that with the returning
oldtimers will come many for their
first glimpse of Alaska.
Mr. Felch is accompanied on his
present trip by his son, Baxter,
who is paying his first visit to the
territory and enjoying the experi
ence immensely. They mushed over
the Broad Pass trail from Hurricane
Gulch and the young man feels that
the trip fully entitles him to join •
the ranks of the sourdoughs. They i
witnessed a numbers of “breakups” j
and several “breakdowns” along the
rapidly-vanishing trail and were very
active participants in one or two
of them, although the son declares
his dad did most of the breaking
down.
Mr. Felch plans to go to Fair-,
banks tomorrow and, after a short
stay there, will return to Nenana
and later start down river.
CHAIRMAN CURRY REPLIES
TO LETTER OF WALLACE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 19—
Replying to the letter received from
Secretary Wallace, in which the head
of the department of commerce ob
jected to the Curry development
board plan, Chairman Curry de
clared that “I venture to suggest
that no plan that might be con
ceived by the mind of man would
ever meet with the unanimous ap
proval of all of the 57 varieties of
bureau officials who now govern
Alaska from Washington and who
hold in their absolute power the
prosperity, development and welfare
of the territory and the happiness
of its people.”
Mr. Curry asserted, in conclusion,
that the outstanding fact regarding
Alaska is that bureaucratic govern
ment in the territory (has failed.
