LATE STEAMERS
TO LAND LARGE
LOCALTONNAGE
The Nenana waterfront promises
to be the scene of great activity
during the remainder of the season,
j Shipments of supplies for the Alas
kan Engineering commission, which
should have been on the road weeks,
if not months, ago, are now en
route, some of them on the river,
some at St. Michael, more on the
ocean, and still more at Seattle,
i awaiting shipment. The shipments
will aggregate fully 1,500 tons, and
may exceed the 2,000 mark, count
ing late deliveries for others than
i the commission.
i As a result of this end-of-the
i season freight movement, every
'steamer operating on the lower Yu
;kon will be compelled to work over
time to get the shipments to Ne
nana before the freezeup, and when
the goods begin arriving, there will
be something doing on the local
I waterfront pretty much all the time
until the end of the season, and
then some.
The packet Louise is now enroute
up the Y’ukon with a heavy tow,
this being the first appearance of
the boat on the river this season.
; She is taking the place of the Julia
B, which has been laid away for the
season because of the decision of
the company to use oil wherever
possible throughout the remainder of
the summer. The Louise is an oil
burner, while the Julia B is not.
As soon as the oil can be de
livered on the Yukon, where need
ed, all the company steamers oper
ating out of St. Michael and be
tween Dawson and Nenana will dis
continue the use of wood as fuel,
including the Alaska and the Yu
kon. This change in the use of
fuel was made possible by the de
livery at St. Michael of a large
quantity of fuel oil. Previous to
this time there was not a tank
steamer available for the voyage
North, owing to the demand for oil
deliveries in Europe.
The use of oil will greatly facili
tate the movement of freight, since
it will eliminate frequent stops at
wood piles along the river, a seri
ous handicap in the aggregate, at
this season of the year.
The Louise has approximately 450
tons of freight in tow, the greater
part of it being for Nenana The
steamship Victoria is due at St.
Michael from Seattle with 400 tons
more, and other shipments between
Seattle and St. Michael and er.route
down the Y'ukon will bring the total
well above the 1,500 mark, for Ne
naa. In addition to this, there will
be the usual late shipments for
Fairbanks and other points along
the river, which will add consider
ably to the congestion.
In anticipation of the rush of
business at the local office of the
American-Yukon Navigation compa
ny, Ralph Dutcher, well-known for
mer resident of the Fairbanks dis
trict, where he was in the employ
of the Tanana Valley railroad at
Fox for a number of years, is be
ing sent to Nenana to help out
during the remainder of the season.
He is a passenger on the Louise
and will arrive here with the first
of the lower river freight now
enroute.

ranged by N'enana Igloo, Xo. 17,
| Pioneers of Alaska, in honor of La

jail that could be desired. The af
jfair took place at Union hall last
night, immediately following the
conclusion of the regular monthly
business meeting of the igloo.
The hall was well filled when the
program started, shortly after nine,

joyed. Following the conclusion of
the program, lunch was served and
the floor was cleared for the dance,
which lasted until about one, the
floor being almost crowded with the
many who remained to trip the
right fantastic to the tuneful strains
of the Berggren orchestra.
The program consisted of the fol
lowing numbers:
Instrumental trio, violin and gui
tars. Mrs. A. B. Easterly and Mr.

i Chena at midnight last night, where

PARENTS REQUESTED
TO REGISTER NAMES
So that the school board may
: ascertain the probable number of
I children who will attend the Frank
jlin K. Lane school during the com
i ing term, a request has been made
'that parents of children of schoo
' age register the names of the chil
jdren at the Tow-nsite office, with
! Director Carl Schmidt.
This is important, since it will
! be impossible for the board to make
definite arrangements for the com
ing term until it is known approxi
'mately how many children will be
enrolled at the commencement of
' the term.
' It is believed that the number of
i pupils will be about the same as
jlast term, but it is possible that
some of the children now here will
leave town before the end of the
season, and there also may be new
arrivals. These are points the board
desires to clear up immediately, and
it is for that reason that parents
are asked to register the names of
their children of schoo! age imme
diately.
i A prompt compliance with the re
] quest will materially assist the board
! in its work.
