A special meeting of the Fair
banks city council was held last
night to confer with representatives
of the Northern Commercial com
pany on the question of water sup
ply for tire protection, and it is j
probable that the existing arrange
ment between the town and the.;
comDanv will be discontinued as
i
soon as a substitute plan can be
agreed upoi^
The company officials informed
the councilmen that w-ater is now
being supplied to the fire mains at
a loss, especially during the winter
months, and it was suggested that
it would be necessary to charge the
city more for the service or make
certain changes which would enable
the company to reduce costs at the
power plant.
One of the suggestions offered
by the c-ompar^ provided for the
elimination of all fire hydrants be
tween Cushman and Lacy streets,
and also those on Wickersham street.
The company also proposed to do
away with the standing pressure,
.which is a source of considerable
(expense during the winter. In lieu
of the pressure the company pro
posed to keep water in the pipes at
: all times in sufficient quantity to
i insure a fire pressure within a min
lute or two after the turning in of
an alarm.
The question was taken under ad
visement by the aldermen and will
be discussed at a later meeting.
ALASKA LEAVES
AT EARLY HOUR
The steamer Alaska, of the Am
ierican-Yukon Navigation company's
| fleet, was in port at an early hour
this morning enroute from Fairbanks
jto Dawson. The steamer has two
'large barges in tow—the Arizona
and the Tantalus—and slow progress
was made downstream from Chena,
the arrival at Xenana being consid
erably delayed in consequence. The
steamer will make connections at
Tanana for the lower river.
The passengers arriving from
iFairbanks were: R. L. Vining, C. V.
| Clausen, Edna Palmer, and J. H.
!Page. The passengers boarding the
boat here for the Outside were Tony
Romanoff, Alex Hanaeff, and Sam
Batogoff.
The Alaska’s through passengers
from Fairbanks included several
'round trippers, Auditor Howard
i Turner, of the X. C. company, and
! Route Agent C. S. Crider.

10 GET INJURED
The condition of Harry Williams,
injured Shaw creek miner, is such'
that two men have been sent to that j
district to bring the injured man to
the Fairbanks hospital. Carl Sel
berg, of the X. C. store force, left j
Fairbanks with an auto trilck at I
midnight last night, accompanied by .
Elam Harnish and Colin Campbell,
who will take a poling-boat up Shaw
creek to the place where the acci
dent occurred and bring Williams
back to town with them.
Dr. M. F. Hall, who went out
the' trail to attend Williams, sent
word back to town last night by
Harrv Karstens to the effect that 1
it would be necessary- to get the
man to the hospital immediately.
His leg is badly fractured between i
the ankle and the knee and the flesh
is lacerated where the ends of the;
bones were driven through.
Williams was felling a tree when j
the accident occurred. He jumped
back as the tree began to fall, but
tripped, and the “kick back” of the
tree caught him squarely on the
leg. Word was sent to Fairbanks
for surgical aid as quickly as possi
ble, but several days elapsed before
Dr. Hall reached the scene.
Shaw creek is off the main line
of travel a considerable distance
and hard to reach during the sum
mer months, owing to the absence
of a road.
A copy of the first issue of the
daily Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle
reached N'er.ana in the mail arriving
yesterday. The paper was started
on July 19 by Edward G. Morrissey,
former city editor of the Fairbanks
Times and later secretary to the
late Charles A. Sulzer, and Bernard
H. Stone, a veteran newspaperman
of the Alaska coast, and is one of
the newsiest looking publications in
the territory, with an advertising
patronage reflecting the progressive
spirit of Ketchikan businessmen.
The eight pages of the initial num
ber are crammed with interesting
local and telegraphic news, assem
bled after the style of metropolitan
dailies.
It was the intention of the pub
lishers to call their paper the Daily
Journal, but after having announced
their intention and while they were
in Seattle purchasing their plant,
the name was appropriated by an
other Ketchikan publisher, making it
necessary for Morrissey and his
partner to find a new name for
their paper.
“Some of the foremost newspa
pers of the world,” says an editorial
explaining the change in name,
"have flown their banner under the
name of the ‘Chronicle,’ including
the great London and San Francisco
dailies, and have been powers for
good. It is the hope of the Ketchi
kan Alaska Chronicle that it may
emulate their example, even if to a
much lesser degree.”
