W. A. COGHILL
The train arriving from the coast
tomorrow will have mail and passen
gers from the steamer Alameda.
The Watson mail will not arrive un
til next week, probably on Tuesday.
John Palm, manager of the X.
C. store at Rampart, who arrived in
Nenana from the Yukon river sev
eral days ago. left for the cost on
Tuesday train, on a vacation trip.
Mr. Palm formerly carried the mail
between Chatinika and Circle for
a number of years.
Chris Tennyson, well known old
timer of the Fairbanks district,
came to town this week from Curry,;
where he has been working on the
new hotel and roundhouse. He is j
going to Fairbanks on the next j
train and a few days later will
leave for the Outside on his first!
visit to the States since he came
North 24 years ago. He is going to
California and may extend his trav
els to the Atlantic coast, where he
has relatives whom he has not seen
in many years.
OLDTIMERS CO TO COAST
TO WORK ON HOMESTEAD
Among those leaving for the!
coast on the Tuesday train were
Tom Blaylock and Jim Hoover,
both well known oldtimers who re- j
cently arrived from the Indian riv- !
er district, where they have located j
valuable placer ground. They are;
going to the coast to do some work
on a homestead located by Blaylock
near Seldovia, and will return to
tneir ground on Indian river early
m the spring to prepare for hy-1
draulic operations.
The stream on which their min-.
ing ground is located was the scene
of a stampede several years ago.
but only one of the orgina! locators
has stayed with his claims. Blay
lock and Hoover went into the dis
trict last yring and took up a lot
of ground, which they prospected -
during the summer and partially j
prepared for the installation of ai
hydraulic outfit. They believe they j
have a big proposition.
Considerable ground also was'
located on a tributary of Indian I
river, and some prospecting was;
done there, enough to convince the
oldtimers that it can be worked co
advantage with a dredge, and they
will endeavor to get such a plant
on the creek in the near future.

COUNCIL VOTES TO MAKE
CUT IN ELECTRIC RATES
Having made substantia] reduc
tions in the cost of operating the
city plant since taking the public
utilities on the first of October,
and having plans in veiw for the
still further lowering of operating
costs, the city council, at a special
meeting held last night, voted to
lower the base rate on electric en
ergy to consumers from thirty cents
per kilowatt hour to twenty-five
cents, beginning on the first of
January. Action was taken upon
the recommendation of Superinten
dent H. C. Henshaw. who advised
the council that the reduction could
be made at the time suggested j
without seriously jeopardizing the:
revenues of the city. It is estimated j
that nearly enough additional
light will be used by consumers
during the balance of the winter,
under the reduced rate, to offset
the loss of revenue that would oth
erwise result. The council is hopeful
that it will work out that way, at
least, and that it will not be neces-I
sarv. when the lean summer mon
ths arrive to restore the old rate,
in force during the last year. As
a matter of fact, it is the desire
of the council to make a still fur
ther reduction in rates, hut wheth
er or not that will be possible,
will depend upon the amount of
energy used and the success with
which certain planned economies
work out.
