LAUNCH PEERLESS
As a result of an encounter with
the wheel of the steamer Tanana,
the gas boat Peerless, Joe Johnson
owner, is out of commission and
will be unable to resume her regular
schedule between Nenana and Fair
banks until extensive repairs have
been made.
The launch was moored a short
distance below the X. C. dock when
the Tanana pulled up to the com
panv warehouse from the Commis
sion dock, and in some manner the
wheel of the steamer and the Peer
less became entangled, with the re
sult that the house on the launch
was wrecked and the port side cf
the hull punctured and otherwise
disfigured.
Officers of the steamer claim that
the absence of a stern line on the
launch permitted the boat to be
drawn into the wheel of the steamer,
but it is understood the company
will reimburse Johnson for the dam
age done.
The Peerless was hauled out of
the water today and the work cf
making repairs undertaken.
The Cascade Laundry has plenty
of hot soft water at all times. New
bath rooms, fully equipped and san
itary, with special rooms for ladies.
You get rebate with $2.50 laundry,
which applies on bath, or pay 50c
per bath.

DEPARTMENT 10
USE BREST FOR
LATE SAILINGS
~
The great American army base
at Brest will not be abandoned ibis
summer as previously planned, ac
cording to Lieut. Howard ?. Curtis,
former general storekeeper of the
i Alaskan Engineering commission at
j Nenana, who has been stationed at
Brest during the greater part of the
time that the Americans have been
in possession of that port.
Originally it was planned to aban-'
! don Brest during the early summer,
i and to evacuate the army of occu
| pation from Antwerp. Curtis states,
I however, in his letter to W. H.
j Gilcher, that it is now the intention
I to occupy Brest until all the Ameri
j can troops have been sent home, |
! which means that the base will be
; retained until October, at least.
Brest, Curtis says, is the best
| port the Americans have on that!
!side of the Atlantic, and things are
j now in fine shape at Camp Pont-!
jnazan. “We can handle troops
, faster here than can be done at j
any other port,” he writes. “We
| have the organization to do it and
!the department shows no sign of
I letting any of the organizations go
home until all the troops are home."|
All of which is agreeable to the;
former storekeeper, for the reason
that weather conditions at Brest are
now at their best—much more to!
!his liking than the summer heat of
I New York.
Regarding the movement of
troops, Curtis says that the week ;
ending May 17 was the biggest ex
perienced at Brest. "We have1
evacuated sixty thousand from this
port this week,” he writes. “Day'
before yesterday (May 15) we d:d,
thirty thousand, which is som ■
troops, believe me. I have been
fortunate in having a good detail
of men and have been able to get j
through my work early every day.I
As soon as a boat sticks her nose in i
the harbor, I am right alongside her ;
and check her up before the other!
boats get to her. Today I went I
alongside the ’Maui' and got aboard
before she had dropped anchor, j
They expect to make a record on
this boat. She dropped anchor at
1:30, I checked her up and put a
few supplies aboard, the water boat
was alongside when I left, and she;
has just pulled out with 3511 troops i
at 4:02. That’s making a quick
turn around, is it not I expect
eight boats in tomorrow, so I will I
be on the bay all day, but the next
day I will have nothing to do and >
most likely will take a trip out in
the country or play tennis.”

TALLMAN TELLS
ABOUT PAYMENTS
FORM LOTS
In answer to an inquiry concern
ing the suspension of the 1918 pay
ment on lots within the towosite of
Anchorage, Matanuska, \enana and
Wasilla, the land and industrial de
partment is in receipt of the foil.•ty
ing communication from the com
missioner of the general land office
at Washington, D. C.:
“You are advised that by recent
executive order, all payments for
lots in the townsites of Anchorage.
Matanuska, Nenana, and Wasilla
falling due in August, 1918, and
thereafter becoming due, were ex
tended one year. Of course, patent
cannot issue until all payments have
been made. Therefore lot holders
who avail themselves of the privi
lege granted extending the time
could not receive their patent un
der the regulations until 1921 or
such time as they shall have made
full payments for the land and oth
erwise complied with the regula
tions. If, however, any lot holder
should make full payment for his
lot and otherwise comply with the
regulations until the expiration of
the five-year period from the date
of the register’s certificate of sale,
he would then be entitled to his
patent.
“I do not think that a lot holder
can be allowed to apply the pay
ment made in 1918 to the payment
falling due in 1919. However, the
payment falling due in 1918 under
the old regulations, extended by
said order, he could avail himself of
the extension of time on that if he
so desires.
“Very respectfully,
(Signed) “CLAY TALLMAN.
“Commissioner."
MAIL SERVICE
FROM OUTSIDE
HAS IMPROVED
The mail service between Nenana
ind the States this summer is con
siderably more satisfactory than
that of a year ago as a result of
the action of the postoffice depart
ment in permitting the shipment
bf Nenana mail by way of the Fair
banks-Chitina post road, a privilege
rot enjoyed last summer. Under
the new arrangement, mails are dis
latched and received both by way
t>f the river and the overland route,
insuring a frequency of service for
A’hich the residents of this district
ire duly appreciative. The recent
increase i# the weight allowance
>n in-bound trail mail made it pos
sible to include Nenana in the num
ber of districts served.
The only further action desired
it this time is the awarding of a
;ontract for a special summer ser
vice between N'enana and Fairbanks,
ind Postmaster McDonald has the
issurance of Chief Clerk Wetzler
:hat this service, heretofore paid
for jointly by the Nenana and Fair
banks Commercial clubs and the
\laskan Engineering commission,
sill be recommended to the depart
ment.
This extra service between the
;wo towns is now in operation, but
rnless the postoffice department1
will assume the responsibility of pay
ing for it, the cost must again be
borne by the two towns and the
Commission. The service is essen-1
:ial and the department undoubtedly
»’ill make provision for it if the
natter is properly presented.

H. D. MILLS WAS
H. D. Mills, a civil engineer, who
arrived recently in Nenana to take
a position with the Alaskan Engi
neering commission and who will head
the location party leaving N'enana
on Saturday night, served in
the U. S. army during the war and
was discharged recently, with the
demobilization of forces.
Previous to entering the army, Mr.
Mills was on the engineering staff
at the aoast end of the government
railroad and was engaged in loca
tion work. He joined the army by
voluntary induction and served as a
private for a brief period, after
which, by reason of the technical
knowledge he possessed, he was sent
to the officers' training school at
Camp Lee, Virginia, from which
place he was transferred later to
Camp Humphreys, Virginia, and
was attached to the development
battalion.
His unit was fitted out for work
overseas and was under embarka
tion orders when the news of the
signing of the armistice was re
ceived, and the orders to embark
were conceled, much to the disap
pointment of every man.
While at Camp Humphreys, Lieu
tenant Mills met Jimmy Momb, for
merly of the A. E. C. He held
the rank of second lieutenant and
was the supply officer for one of
the engineering units in camp.
Stephen Szumanski, better known
in Nenana as Steve Schuman, for
merly resident engineer in the em
ploy of the A. E. C., was in com
mand of two battalions of engi
neering forces, with the rank of
major. Lieutenant Mills thinks hs
is still in the service.
