RAPPHOLT THINKS
ALASKA' IS GOOD
PLACE JO BE IN
i Sourdough Bake-y Man Advise*
Northerners to Be Content
With Their Lot.
In the opinion of Henry Rappolt.
sourdough bakery ma'i and property
owner of Nenana who went Outside
last year for the benefit of hi3
health, Alaskans should not permit,
reports of high wages and great in
dustrial activities in the States to
lure them away from tte North with
the expectation of bettering their
condition. ,
In a letter writen to Carl Schmidt,
inclosing a money order for school
taxes, Mr. Rappolt says, in part:
“Give my regards to all my friends
up there and tell them to stay
where they are, for it is no better
out here than up there.”
Mr. Rappolt, who spent the winter
in and about Washington, D. C., and
was in Montana enrout to the Pa
cific coast at the time the letter
was written, says there is plenty of
work to be had in the States, of
every description, but it is hard to
start in any line of business because
of the many shortages. Many bak
eries, he says, have gone out of
business on account of the poor ma
terials which made it impossible for
them to turn out a good product.
Mr. Rappolt is not certain when
he will return to Nenana, but ex
pects to start North shortly after
the opening of navigation.
SALE OF TICKETS
INSURES SUCCESS
Dancers Are Displaying Interest In
Military Ball for the Benefit
of Registrants.
That the dancers of Nenana and
the public generally are taking a
keen interest in the military ball,
to be given at Union hall on Satur
day night, for the benefit of the
hall and gun fund, is indicated by
the steady demand for tickets, which
were placed on sale early this week.
Sergeant Louis Smith, who is
superintending the arangements for
the dance, announces that practically
all the details have been looked after
and that indications point to a most
successful affair, with a large attend
ance and a jolly time.
Tickets have been placed on sale
at all business places in Nenana,
where they may be obtained by those
desiring to help the good cause
along. The price of the tickets is
$1.50. Ladies will be admitted free.
The dance will start immediately
| after the picture show.

CARLOAD OF STOCK
ARRIVES FROM OUT LINE
Another carload of stock was
! brought into town on the train
I last night—the improvised stock car
| being again put in use. The animals
I include some that have been released
to their owners after having been,
for some time, in the employ of the
Alaskan Engineering commission.
They will probably be needed later
on in the season, after construction
, work has been commenced.
| Gus Hahn, of the piledriver force,
i came into town last night from 42
| mile to be medically examined under
the selective service regulations- He
expects to be back at work on the
big bridge in a few days.
Mr. and Mrs. Carlton D. Ross
have taken up their residence in the
Kubon house, at the corner of Wick
ersham and Fourth, Fairbanks. Mr.
Ross has a position on the News
Miner as city reporter.
Fairbanks has been awarded an
Honor flag, with one star, indicating
that Liberty Loan subscriptions in
the upper town hp.ve doubled the
quota. The Ruby Honor flag con
tains five stars.
The military ball given at Fair
banks several days ago, netted ap
proximately $300.
PROSPECTING FOR I
com AT 35-MILE'
I
Mr. W. J. Lynn, who has success
fully completed a few grading con
tracts on the government railroad
recently, is now engaged in prospect
ing for the continuation of the coal
vein uncovered in one of the cuts
on the right of way on Residency 3
' (35- mile). The scene of the pros
I pecting is on the hillside above the
! right of way and close to the place
| where he had his camp during the
| tenure of his last grading contract
j contract with the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission. He is using a small
boiler owned by the commission
which had been used for thawing
purposes hitherto.
Mr. Lynn expects to do consider
able development work and open a
mine on a large scale should he hap
pen to strike a vein sufficiently
large to warrant the trouble and ex
ense such an undertaking will entail.
ACCIDENT OCCURS
ON WING m
The big iron sheave at the top
of the leads, through which the
hammer line runs on the piledriver
; working on the wing dam at the
head of Lost Slough, broke, without
any warning, yesterday morning
shortly after work had commenced.
The officials in town were immedi
ately notified and a new sheave was
| sent out on the train in the after
j noon. The new sheave will be fitted
I into position and work on the pile
| driver, which had to be suspended
after the accident yesterday, will be
resumed this morning.
The work of finishing the wing
| dam will be rushed in order that
| the piledriver may be sent to Resi
dency 3 (35-mile) as soon as pos
sible to drive the piling for the bank
protection scheme.

SHELDON’S “1ANK”
DOLLS 10 TOWN
_ !
! Strange Looking Trail Rig Makes
Port After Serious Encounter
With Snow.
The Sheldon tractor auto-car, that
left Fairbanks several days ago on
its maiden trip to Nenana, reached
town last night, and is undergoing
repairs today to prepare it for the
return trip. ,
Considerable difficulty was exper
ienced on the down trip, owing to |
the depth of snow on the trail, but j
| under ordinary traveling conditions,
the machine works satisfactorily and
is capable of making excellent time.
Mr. Sheldon will start on the re
I turn to Fairbanks within the next1
J few days.

The last mail from the Outside
brought Superintendent of Construc
tion W. L. Packer a postcard from
Washington, D. C., signed by S. H.
Perham, J. Cassin Williams and
Captain Steve Shuman, all former
employees of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission. The card says mere
ly that the boys were having supper
together and wished that Mr. Packer
might join them. They desired to
be remembered to the “bunch.”
Axel Carlsten, of the E. R. Peoples
store, arrived in Nenana late yes
terday afternoon to consult with
Dr. M. E. Smith.

BRIDGE AT CROSSING
IS NEARING COMPLETION
Very satisfactory progress has
been made in building this structure
and the driving of the piles for the
southern approach is rapidly nearing
completion. Several of the men en
gaged in putting in the cribbing
around piers have been laid off, as
this part of the bridge work is now
complete, and are on the way to
town. They will probably be re
engaged for some other branch of
construction work.
The piers that will support the
trusses across the main channel will
soon be put to the test, as there
are ample indications of an early
breakup. The river in this region
flows very swiftly; and the behavior
of the piers under the strain of the
unusually swift current will be close
ly watched.
