According to mail advices received
I at Fairbanks last night, W. A. Cog
. hill, the Xenana merchandiser, is
now enroute home from England,
where he was married on June 18,
at Burryport. "Coggy’s” letter to
friends in Fairbanks announced his
arrival at Xew h ork, and indicated
1 that he planned to return to his
home in Xenana before the close of
navigation.
In a previous letter to Billy
Coutts, manager of the Coghill
store, mention was made of the
illness of the mother of Mr. Cog
hill, and he did not know at that
time when he would be able to start
for the United States. The fact
that he has since arrived in X'ew
York would seem to indicate that
the elder Mrs. Coghill has improved.
Mr. Coutts is expecting a letter
from “Coggy” on the mail which
should reach Xenana tomorrow.

r.iiiHiHiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimmiimiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmi;
In the opinion of Nels Stol, old
I time fisherman, who was in town
.yesterday from his fishcamp a short
distance below Xenana, there is ev
jery reason to believe the Yukon
jrun of salmon is being seriously in
terfered with by the Carlisle Pack
ing company’s outfit near the mouth
of Alaska’s largest river. Stol is
interested in two fishwheels now and
has been closely identified with the
Interior fishing industry for a num
ber of years, so that he should be
in a position to know what he is
'talking about. And his view of the
situation agrees with that expressed
by other oldtimers who are now en
gaged in fishing along the Tanana
l .
nver.
Stol says that female salmon, of
Which there usually have been, in
previous years, about as many as
; males, are very scarce this season.
! Only about ten have been caught
thus far by his two wheels, and the
’number of large males is much be
low the average. This, he says, is
because the larger fish are stopped
by the nets of the Carlisle outfit,
while the smaller salmon, which are
j proportionately more numerous than
'usual this year, slip through the
! meshes of the nets,
j Like the other local fishermen
who have complained about the
scarcity of large fish, Stol says that
a considerable number of the larger
salmon caught by his wheels bear
unmistakable evidence of having
been entangled in nets, from which
they apparently escaped with diffi
culty. Their condition is such that
they cannot be offered for sale, ex
cept as dog fish.
Stol says the shortage already
noted is discouraging to Interior
; fishermen and he predicts that an
other season of similar conditions
will find many owners of wheels
ready to quit the business, which
has long been a source of annual
revenue to many oldtimers and to
the natives. Without salmon, the'
natives will be up against a serious
situation, their dogs will starve, and
the white population will find the'
cost of living greatly increased.
The worst feature of the situa
tion, according to Stol, is the danger
of making the spawning grounds j
barren by stopping the females at'
the cannery. It is a well-known :
trait of salmon, he points out, to
return to the rivers where they are
hatched, and, if great numbers of
females are caught at the cannery,
before they reach the spawning
grounds, it is easy, he says, to cal
culate the harm that will result.
At the end of a few years there
will be no'salmon in the Yukon.
The situation is one, Stol believes,
which should receive the attention
of Interior commercial bodies, with
a view to making a concerted fight i
against the continued operation of
the Carlisle or any cannerv on the
lower Yuokn.

FAIRBANKS BALL TEAMS
HELPING MEMORIAL GYM
The first of a three-same baseball j
series for the benefit of the mem- .
orial gymnasium for the Fairbanks :
public school was played at Fair
banks on Sunday, between the Van •
Dykes and the F. C. Co.’s, the for-1
mer team winning: by a score of 19 i
to 12. An admission fee of 50
cents was charged and a substantia!
sum collected at the gate.
Second Lieutenant Schmanke. for
merly officer in charge of the signal
corps station at Fairbanks, is now
stationed at a supply base in France,
according to a card received from
him in the last mail from the Out
side.
E
Word comes from Fairbanks to
day that the baseball fans of the
upper town have been greatly dis
appointed as a result of the an
nouncement that the American-Yu
kon Navigation company would be
unable to provide a steamer for the
excursion which Manager Charles
Beam hoped to arrange for the trip
to Nenana. J. A. Fairborn, of the
Fairbanks office of the company, has
informed Manager Beam that the
steamer Tanana, which the excur
sionists expected to use, will be en
route down river on Saturday to
meet the Seattle No. 3. And there
is no crew available for the Reli
ance, which will be tied up upon
arrival at Fairbanks, in order that
the crew may take the Tanana out.
Manager Beam is now looking
about for other accommodations, de
termined to bring a crowd down
river with him, if he has to engage
all the launches on the river to do
it. He is receiving the assistance
of a numbeT of prominent residents
of the upper town, and between
them, they are hopeful of making
satisfactory arrangements which will
enable a considerable number of
fans to witness the series in Nenana.
Manager Doner says that he has
nothing new to report regarding the
local aggregation. The boys are
practicing whenever they can, and
every man on the team is sure of
winning the series. Tom Mathews
says if confidence counts for any
thing, Nenana is sure to get the
Fairbanks goat, and he is positive
the games will prove unusually in
teresting for the spectators.
The opening game of the series
will be played Saturday evening, and
the two other games will follow on
Sunday. The Saturday game will
be followed by a dance at Union
hall in honor of the visitors, and a
big time is promised.
F-esh garden seeds, just arrived.
