WILLIAM THOMAS
SACK H CAMF
William Thomas, part owner o
the Ball & Thomas barbershop, oi
upper A street who had been in
ducted into the service during th<
late war, returned to Xenana Sat
urday evening on the train fron
the end of steel. He mushed ii
from Talkeetna over the Broad Pas
trail with Ed Olson, formerly j
miner in the Fairbanks district, bu
who latterly was working for thi
Commission at Anchorage.
, The trail was good, he says, ex
j i cept where it crosses the Chulitna
I Here they had to wade across ii
about a foot of water, owing to at
j overflow. The snowfall would ap
I pear to have been heavy and recen
"' in the country beyond the summr
! and the mushers were obliged to us<
', snowshoes for a day and a half
j The snow lay deep all along th«
| way from Talkeetna to w’ithin aboui
, ten miles of the summit. The
| change in the general aspect oi
. the country, Thomas says, was rath
er startling. They left behind therr
| on the farther side of the summii
1 a typical winter country and step
.! ped right into a tropical clime or
this side of the pass. There was
f not a vestige of snow in sight, bu1
. ] signs were plentiful of the ear!}
j coming of the good old summertime
, from the summit to Xenana.
I His opinion of the States anc
, living conditions in general on the
. Outside does not differ material!}
. from that of the other Alaskans
. returning from the States to the
[ Interior. Those parts of the States
. he had visited, with all the many
, I and varied advantages one could
I enjoy, were not nearly as good as
Alaska, in his opinion,
i Thomas was stationed at Camp
Lewis during all the time he re
mained in the service. He was dis
charged on January 9, and left al
! most immediately afterward on a
| visit to his folks, in Kansas City,
Missouri.
On the return trip to Alaska
he left Seattle on April 24, on the
Admiral Farragut, which was the
first boat to make Anchorage this
season. There were a great many
passengers c-n board the boat for
Alaska and many disembarked at
j Anchorage.
While in the States, he met many
Alaskans, some of whom had been
in the service; and, he says, that
without exception, everyone of them
were getting ready to come Xorth.
Like the majority of returning Alas
kans, he says that there is going
to be a great influx of people into
the Northland this summer.
I
At about 9:30 o’clock last night,
the ice jam which had formed around
the first bend in the river below
j the Xenana river, gave way, and
i the ice opposite town moved dowr
•some distance.
The river is now’ clear of ice
from some distance above the mis
j sion to a point below the first bend
I below the Xenana river.
' Fragments of ice and some large
cakes were seen floating down foi
some time last night and a consid
erable run of ice may be looked
forward to most any time.
In consequence of the low stage
of water in the river, with the
i breaking of the jam, huge cakes oi
; ice litter the banks on either side
and unless a much higher stage oi
water is experienced, •••ill piobabh
lay there until melted by the sun’s
: action.
The level of the river water fel
i considerably and rather suddenlj
i this morning and the ice cakes alonj
! the banks of the river, which hac
j been awash, now lie stranded,
i It is believed that a jam has
formed somewhere above Xenana
and quite a run may be expectec
when it gives way.
Reports received from the leg
ging camps above Xenana indicate
that the river is open for a dis
tance of at least five sni'es.
YOUNG LADIES
1 SELL MANY BONDS
Miss Mildred Anderson and Miss
Queenie Russell made a thorough
canvass of the camps of the A. E. C.
along the line south of Xenana,
and as a result of their activities
j the tidy sum of $6,000 was sub
] scribed to the Victory Liberty Loan.
I They left Xenana on the train
Wednesday morning last and went
■ out to the Lignite roadhouse, where
■ they establ/hed headquarters. From
this point trips were made to the
.' nearby A. E. C. camps and the
Burns mine For the return jour
! ney, which was commenced yester
; ; day, a speeder was placed at their
disposal by the A. E. C. officials
•and they were enabled to make
stops at every camp enroute.
While on their patriotic trip, the
young ladies also had a very en
joyable time fishing in the streams
near the Lignite roadhouse, which
are reported to be teeming with
trout of the Dolly Yarden variety.
They also took part in a bear hunt.
They did not get any bears, but
managed to fill their creels every
time they hit the streams. Most
of the fish they caught were brought
to town by them.
) -
Recent arrivals in town, over the
Broad Pass trail bring news of build
ing activities on the roadhouses
scattered along the trail. The road
house men expect a large volume
of travel over the Broad Pass trail
next winter and are now making
preparations to meet and take care
of it properly.
All of the roadhouse men be
tween Lignite and Indian river, in
cluding the hostelries at the two
places mentioned, are improving
their holdings and are putting sub
stantial additions to the sleeping
and messing quarters of their re
spective houses.
A new roadhouse is said to be
in course of construction now at
a point about midway between In
dian river and Deadhorse, approxi
mately ten miles distant from each
of the roadhouses at these two
places, and so situated that it would
give service for travel on both the
winter and summer routes The
building is being erected by Jack
Cronin, who will run it next winter.
It is thought probable that sev
eral new roadhouses will be built
at points along the trail where
the distance between any two exist
ing roadhouses is twenty miles or
more, thereby adding, considerably
to the comfort and convenience of
those who will travel to and from
the coast by way of the Broad
Pass trail.
The distance between railheads
on the Interior and coast divisions
of the government railroad next
winter will be a trifle less than
one hundred miles.
There is also a strong possibility
that arrangements will be completed
for the routing of the mails for
the Interior, next winter, over the
government railroad and the Broad
Pass trail,
