Austin Oars, who has a logging
contract up the Tanana river, ar
rived from his camp yesterday to
make arrngements to commence
rafting his logs as soon after the
breakup as possible.
He reports that the Tanana river
is open from the mouth of the Wood
river to the mouth of the Totat
lanika river, a distance of about six
miles. Wood river was reported to
be open recently, and the news is
now confirmed.
Mr. Oars will remain in town for
a few days before returning to his
camp; this will probably be after
the breakup.

MUCH DAMAGE ON
ENGINEER CREEK
Arrivals in Fairbanks from the
creeks report that with the excep
tion of the messhouse and one
small cabin, all of the buildings on
the Last Chance Association claim,
on Engineer creek, were destroyed
by fire.
The messhouse building and the
cabin were saved owing to a small
garden patch intervening between
them ar.d the advancing flames.
The heat from the forest fire
is said to have been so intense that
it was not possible for anyone to
approalh to within fifty feet of
the fire.
On Gilmore Creek.
The forest fires sweeping the
country, according to reports from
FairLrnks, had reached the mouth of
Gilmore creek on Saturday, threat
ening to do a great deal of prop
erty damage. It was considered
very doubtful as to whether the
cabins and the large quantities of
cordwood, which lay in the path of
the flames, could be saved. The
wood had been recently hauled to
the various mining claims in this
neighborhood preparatory to com
mencing summer work.
NEW RADIO SET
Seven men from the U. S. navy
yard, Mare Island, Calif , recently
arrived in Juneau, where they will
install the new high power radio
set, which was contemplated by the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph com
pany and was abandoned by them
when the Alaska stations were taken
over by the navy department.
The Juneau station will have two
complete sets, the largest one will
be 10 k w. and the small one a two
k. w. With the large set, the Ju
neau station will be able to com
municate with all the Pacific coast
stations, and will be able to work
with the Astoria, Oregon station con
tinuously, day and night. The equip
ment to be installed there is of the
very latest design. The small set
for working with ships at sea will
increase the efficiency of the marine
work done at the Juneau station, as
it is expected the new equipment
will enable the operators to work
with ships twelve to fourteen hours
from Juneau.
The antenna, which will be strung
will contain fourteen wires, one
thousand feet long, stretching from
the tower to the mountainside back
of the present station.
It was expected that the new sta
tion would be open for commercial
business the later part of April.
The old station is to be abandoned.

of his proxy. Should he favor
Grigsby as the Democratic candidate
for delegate to congress, the wire

DRIVEN BY PI,
FLOCK 10 PARK
Forest fires occuring in recent
years in the upper Kuskokwim coun
try have destroyed the feed on
which the vast caribou herds of that
region feed, causing them to migrate
to the country adjacant to the
Mount McKinley park and the head
waters of the Nenana river. They
are now found ranging the country
seventy-five miles below the Mc
Kinley range, which they have never
before been known to do.
The fires now raging in the Tok
lat, Middle river and upper Nenana
river regions are burning up the
moss on which the caribou subsist
and is likely to soon dcive them
away to other parts of the country
in their quest for food.
The news of the movement of the
herds was brought to Nenana by
Game Warden Steve Foster, who
returned recently from an extended
trip into the Kuskokwim country,
during which he covered the terri
tory mentioned.
On the return trip he encount
ered vast herds of these anmils on
the move in the Lake Minchumina
and Kantishna regions.

BACK HERE SOON
Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, former
chief surgeon of the A. E. C. hos
pital at Xenana and now in the
army medical corps in France, has
applied for his discharge from the

unti Ihis successor arrives.
If Dr Smith obtains his dis
charge he will, in all probability,
