KTenana, Where Balls and Blvers Meet
The presence of the barge Seal
in the ice on the Nenana water
front near where the official flag is
in position may have some in
fluence on the action of the ice
at breakup time. According to J.
H. Scott, of the American Yukon
Navigation company, it will be
necessary to move the barge to a
place of safety before the breakup
and the cutting of a channel may
cause the main ice sheet in the
river to move earlier than other
wise might be the case. Mr. Scott
calls attention at the time, to the
plans of the company, in order
that guessers in the big ice pool
may have full knowledge of condi
tions.

resident of the Dawson country, is

MAJOR GOTWALS CHAMPIONS
CAUSE OF RAINY PASS TRAIL
Major J. C. Gotwals, who recent
ly arrived from the Kuskokwim dis
trict by way of the Rainy Pass trail,
has come out strongly as a champion
of the residents and roadhouses of
the Kuskokw-im, announcing that the
mail now routed via Broad Pass
for that region should be changed
to travel over the Rainy pass. Un
less some such change is made, says
Major Gotwals, all the roadhouses
will be compelled to close and thus ■
cause a cessation of all travel over
Rainy pass for lack of conveniences
enroute.
At Present, the major points out
in an interview published in a re
cent issue of the Anchorage Times,
all mail for the Kuskokwim valley j
is routed via Broad pass and down
the Tanana and Yukon rivers, and
over the Innoko trail. This, he says,
means a loss of time and delay of
mail for the people of the upper
Kuskokwim of 22 days. He says the
short route to McGrath is well laid
out and with improvements suggest
ed should serve as the correct line
of travel to McGrath and country
surrounding.
Among the suggestions made for
improvement of travel conditions
over Rainy pass is a telephone line
20 miles in length, extending over
the summit with stations at inter
vals. This would enable travelers to
get into touch with the roadhouses
which could prepare for their coming
as well as serve in case of storms
holding up travelers and necessitat
ing relief being sent out.
It is planned to tripod this trail
and improve a section now necessi
tating travel over a dangerous pri
vately-cut trail and make, it the
avenue of travel to McGrath/offer
ing a route some 300 miles in
length, as against 512 miles via
Ruby.
L. G. Bordson, former Fairbanks
grocer, is prospering in Seattle,
where he is engaged in a number of

Recently he opened a bakery, but

of the man who is in charge.

coal mine. A big dormitory is now
being erected for the accommoda
tion of employes and, when com
pleted, will house 100 men. There

The commission is also planning
the installation of a larger power
plant at Eska, one that will be cap
able of furnishing juice for both the
commission mine at Eska and the
navv mine at Chickaloon, and for
the town of Eska. When the plant
is ready for operation, electric
... -o will be used in the mine.
