WAGE SITUATION;
RAISEEXPECTED
The advisability of advocating the
payment of higher wages to em
ployes of the Alaskan Engineering
commission in this division was dis
cussed at considerable length at the
regular meeting of the Xenana Com
mercial club last night, but action
was deferred pending the passage of
the Curry seventeen million dollar
appropriation bill, now awaiting the
consideration of the upper house of
Congress.
Chairman McDonald expressed the
belief that any agitation at this time
would be unwise, for the reason that
the commission is now working on
the tail-end of the last appropria
tion, with a very limited amount of
money available to keep the work
going until Congress has provided
additional funds. He assured the
club of his conviction, however, that
a voluntary raise would be an
nounced by the commission after
the passage of the pending bill, and
suggested that the question be ta
bled until funds have been made
available for the completion of the
road.
It was pointed out by members
of the club that the wage scale of
the commission has remained sta
tionary for more than a year, while
the cost of living has increased tre
mendously. It was also pointed out
that the low wages paid have re
sulted in the exodus of many men
from the Interior, in search of more
lucrative employment elsewhere. And
it was suggested that the club might
be able to bring about a rearrange
ment of the scale so as to give
married men at least an equal break
in the distribution of wage money.
As already stated, however, the
question was tabled, the futility of
attempting to secure an advance at
this time being recognized by the
members of the club, all of whom
agreed that it would be more de
sirable to have the advance come
voluntarily, after ample funds are
available for continuing the work on
a comprehensive scale.

NATIVE CHILD BURIED
IN VILLAGE CEMETERY
The body of the littlfe" two-year
old native child, which was recov
ered from the river two days ago
below Johnnie Campbell’s place, by j
Justin Frank and William Jimmie, I
and brought to Nenana by them
yesterday, has been laid at rest in j
the native cemetery on the hillside ;
opposite Nenana. The funeral was
held yesterday.
The body was floating in the
water when discovered, held in place
by some willows near the bank. The
child was drowned, with an older
child, a month ago, near Nunivak
slough, about seven miles below Ne
nana.
The local office of the American
Yukon Navigation company has been
advised of a delay in the movement
of freight over the White Pass rail
road, owing to the loss of three
bridges, which were wrecked last
Monday by a freshet in the Skagway
river.
The work of repairing the dam
age is proceeding as rapidly as
possible, but it is feared that trains
will not be able to resume traffic
before next Monday or Tuesday, a
serious delay at this season of the
year.
ADVANCE IN BOARD.
Persons whose dogs are being
boarded at my place below the N"e
nana river are hereby notified that
the cost of board will be advanced

Unless arrangements are made for
this advance, dogs remaining at my
place after October 15 will be sold.
I have three stray dogs at my
place: One black dog with white
legs and bushy tail; one brown mala
mute with white legs and bushy
tail; one gray malamute with white
legs and bushy tail.

RUSSIAN MOSQUITOES ARE
WORSE THAN BOLSHEVIK!
KEM, Russian Lapland.—Ameri
can railway forces and other Allied
troops operating on the Murmansk
front this summer found the Arctic
mosquitoes worse foes than the Bol
sheviki.
“After the war is over,” one
Yank recently told an Associated
Press correspondent, “we're going
to come up here and organize an
expedition to hunt these mosquitoes
for their ivory. They’re not like
ordinary mosquitoes. They buzz up,
up, bite a piece out of your leg,
and then fly away into the trees
and eat it.”
