“SMOKY” PHILLIPS IS
SCHEDULED TO LEAVE
The name of “Smoky” Phillips
was unintentionally omitted from the
list of names published yesterday
of the soldiers stationed here who
will be leaving for the Outside in
the near future. Smoky has put
in his two years and then some, and
is already yearning for the bright
lights and cabarets.
10 LOWER YUKON
Boat Load of Fairbanksans Enroute
to Scene of New Labors At
Andreafskv.
I The Henderson gasoline scow, the
^ vanguard of the Carlisle Packing
£ ; company’s fleet of boats which were
£ ; assembled at Fairbanks during tbe
£ i early spring, reached Xenana last
£ : evening, enroute to the mouth of
” the Andreafsky river, where the new
^ | Carlisle cannery is to be astablished,
£ and where many oldtimers of the
^ ' upper town will be employed during
> the summer. Upwards of fifty men
were engaged at Fairbanks, more
will be taken on at Xenana and still
j others are now enroute to Andre
afsky from the Outside, having made
i the trip down the Yukon on the
steamer Washburn, connecting at
Tanana with the Julia B. In addi
tion to employing a large number
of men at Fairbanks, the company
purchased and remodeled the steamer
Martha Clow, built a number of
skows and skifs and purchased sev
eral launches, all of which are to
be used in connection with the new
. ; industry about to be established,
j The Henderson launch brought
down sixteen men, nearly all of
whom are oldtime residents of the
upper town. They will be followed
today, probably by the Martha Clow
which was to have sailed last night
^ and by several other launches.
^! According to the statements
some of those who reached tow;
last night, the company has promise;
to pay fishermen a sum equivelan
^ to $400 for the season, of X00 days
? with board and additional half cer.
? for every case packed. Wages ii
!► the cannery will range from $15i
!► per month and board, upwards de
♦ pending upon the character of th<
♦ work. Skilled workers will get a
♦ high as seven dollars a day. A1
« the men hired locally must boari
themselves enroute to and from th
y cannery and those leaving at th
y end of the season or at any tim
y during the season must provide the
^ own transportation.
The Henderson launch proceede
on its voyage this morning.

Residents of Nenana Are Urged to’
Swell Shipment Soon Ready
to Be Sent Out.
Residents of Xenana are again
urged to come to the relief of the
Red Cross, not with subscriptions of
money, but with cost off articles
whiche the Red Cross is gathering
as part of its work in connection
with the war. The appeal is made
at this time because Mrs. Love and
Mrs. Ryus, who are gathering the
salvage in Xenana, are preparing a
shipment which they plan to send
out on the netx boat, the Seattle
Xo. 3, which will return down river
within the next few days. The inoies
request that collections of the sal
vage be left at the postoff.'ce not
later than tomorrow night, where
they will be assembled for final dis
position.
As has already been mentioned
in these columns, almost everything
in the way of cast oft articles is
wanted by the Red Cross. T.;er ; is
scarcely a household that cannot
contribute something and the dona
tion can be made without sacrifice
WATER IS OVER
BANKS ON ROAD
SOUTH OF TOWN
Treacherous Nenana River Causing
Considerable Trouble Along
Line for Road Builders.
Advices received in N'enana today
from various points along the right
of way, to the south of town, indi-1
cate that the flood waters of the i
N’enana are causing the railroad j
builders considerable annoyance,
with the result that the work is not
proceeding as rapidly as it would
otherwise.
A washout is reported to have
occurred between Camps 15 and 16,
and the grade is submerged at Camp
23, and both Camps 23 and 22 have
been flooded out. It is impossible j
to cross the stream at 20-Mile today, j
Clear creek is running bank full!
and the water is rising steadily, j
Communication between stations, in ■
the flood zone, has been suspended.
Considerable damage is being done
by the water, as a matter of course,
but the extent of the damage will !
not be known until the water has j
subsided somewhat.
SAIN IN HILLS
Families In Upper Town to
Move Hastily.
Advices received from Fairbanks
today state that the waters of Chena
slough are now at the highest point \ '
recorded this year and that a con-1
siderable portion of the town is
under water. At noon today there I ‘
was four inches of water in the of-1
fices of the American Yukon Navi-'
gation company, opposite the Nor-!*
them Commercial company store, i [
and the water was till rising. There
was a rise of four inches this morn-1
ing, the result, it is believed to gen-'
eral rains and warm weather in the j
highlands.
Most of the water is coming from ;
the Chena river, which is running
bank full, but some also is coming!
through the head of the slough from
the Tanana, which has left its banks .
at several points above the town. j
Aside from causing numerous'
families on Wendell avenue and in '
the lower end of town to seek safety I
on higher ground, no particular
damage is being done by the high
water. There is a probability, how
ever, that a further rise will carry
away the White Seal dock, at the j
foot of Wickersham street. The !
dock foundation was badly wrecked j
by the breakup and the building is ■
now afloat, ready to start down- i
stream when the water gets a little ;
higher. It is being held in place
by a single log.
