KOLAND OUTPUT
IS CLOSE CALI
Big Freight Rig Becomes Stalled
and Horses Get Into the
Icy Water.
The Koland freight outfit, which
started for Fairbanks early last even
ing, spent a large part of the night
in the ice and water near the nor
thern shore of the river, opposite the
Commission sawmill. Considerable
water has gathered on the ice in
front of Nenana, and this, together
with the deep snow, brought the
freight rig to a standstill a short
distance from the shore opposite
| town.
The plight of the stage man was
noticed by the guard on duty on the
reserve and a hurry call was sent
to town for assistance, it being be
lieved at the time that the stage
j horses had broken through the ice.
With the assistance thus secured,
the stage man transferred his freight
from the big sleigh to double enders
: and the smaller sleighs, securely
! bound with canvas, were snaked
across the open stretch of water to
the dry shore beyond, where the
freight was reassembled for loading
on to the big sleigh.
Aside from a delay of several
hours, and the discomfort of wading
about in the icy waters of the over
flow, no damage resulted, and the
outfit is now well on its way to the
upper town.
The stage has second class mail
for Fairbanks and the Outside.
FISHING PARTY
SPENDS DAY ON
l
Early Quest for Finny Prizes Results
In Disappointment for Entire
Party.
Tempted by the tales of great
deeds done and the enormous quan
tity of grayling taken here, and the
glorious weather prevailing; a party
or ardent Waltonites made a special
trip to Julius Creek yesterday, equip
I ped with all the latest appliances
known to the fishing world and de
termined to go one better than the
best “yarn” they had heard.
The stream was wide open, the
weather just right and the banks of
the stream not too sloppy; and, pick
ing out a likely looking place the
first casts were made with much tre
pidation and a world of expectancy,
while visions of grayling, fried, broil
ed, boiled and served in several tooth
some ways floated before their
minds’ vision.
After the excitement of the first
half hour had died down some and
many casts had been made, the spot
was abandoned for another that
seemed to hold more promise of
great results.
A score or more of likely-looking
places were tried out and abandoned
during the course .of the day, and
with the exception of a glimpse or
two of a lithe, scaly body as it
flashed in the sunlight, making a
strike a little distance away from the
point where the cast landed and the
fly was being wiggled temptingly;
their efforts were bare of results.
At the end of many weary hours,
the fishermen, in much disgust, de
cided that the fish were not biting,
and returned to their respective
homes, undaunted and undismayed,
but with not even a smell.
Some of the party attempted to
account, in a way, for the barrenness
of the results achieved, and it was
freely suggested that the infusion
of the proper quota of the ardor so
necessary for successful fishing was
rendered impossible owing to the dry
law now in force, and that this may
account in a measure for the failure.
This was apparently not considered
a good enough excuse, the tallest
member of the party stating posi
tively that “Not a d-d bite” could
be got. He failed, however, to make
his meaning clear, leaving his “sym
pathetic” hearers to entertain doubts
as to whether the party were as
short of eats as they surely were
of drinks.

SERGEANT SMITH
REPORTS RESULTS
Receipts At Militay Ball Not Suffi
cient to Pay Expenses
Sergeant Louis Smith, who was in
charge of the arrangements of the
military dance, given on Saturday
night for the benefit of the drill
squad, reports that the expenses ex
j ceeled the receipts of the dance by
! the sum of $15.70.
The purpose of the dance was to
j provide funds with which to pay hall
• rent for drilling and to pay off a
: balance owing on the rifles supplied
to drillers. And since no funds are
now available, Sergeant Smith feels
that it will be impossible for him
to continue drilling under the cir
custanees.

WOMEN ACCEPTED
AS MAIUARM
Women are to be taken on as
rural route mail carriers all over
the country as a war emergency
measure, according to information
given in the office of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General James
I. Blakslee. The first examination
to which women were eligible took
place on April 27 in all sections
where there were vacancies and
where men carriers are unattain
able.
This is the first time since 1911
that women have been eligible for
such posts, except in rare cases as
substitutes. Previous to that time
the service was opened to them for
a short time, but while their work
was satisfactory, climatic conditions
in the Northwest were such as to
make it inadvisable to use them
generally, and the privilege of ex
amination was denied them.
There are now in the rural-route
service 200 women carriers, hold
overs from those early examinations.
According to the fourth assistant
postmaster-general, who has charge
of rural routes, their services have
been quite satsifactory, and in open
ing the field again to women his
office looks for gratifying results.

LUND MAKES TRIP i
ON RIGHT OF WAY
—
Veteran Musher Makes Discovery
On Last Journey of the
Season.
Roy Lund arrived in town front
Fairbanks at an early hour this
morning:, having made the trip, over
the greater prat of the distance, on
the government right of way. He
brought two passengers, a small con
signment of mail and some light
express matter. The passengers were
Mrs. Theo. Brakke and Fred Rhind.
Lund says that the trip was a
pleasure, a splendid trail having
been found nearly the entire dis
tance. The right of way was es
pecially smooth, not having been cut
up like the other trails, by teams
and heavy sleighs. Under the in
fluence of the night frost, the trail
was firm and almost glare in places.
United States Marshal L. T. Erwin,
who went Outside recently in charge
of a bunch of federal prisoners, has
advised the Fairbanks office of his
safe arrival at Seattle, just thirteen
days from the time he left Fair
banks. No difficulty was experienc
ed along the way.
