SLUSH ICE HAS
COME IN RIVER;
BOATS SCURRY
The low temperature of the past
j several days has resulted in the
' appearance of considerable ice in
! the Tanana river, the stream being
• well filled with large-sized cakes
this morning and the ice along the
banks of the stream taking form
rapidly. The launches along the
front were frozen in during the
night, not solidly, but sufficiently j
1 to cause considerable alarm among j
the rivermen, and it is probablej
that most of the boats will be i
hauled out of the water within the
j next day or two.
The appearance of the ice this j
year is earlier than usual, and fully j
l fourteen days ahead of last year, j
The ice is also heavier than it was
; last fall, some of the cakes noted j
this morning standing fully six j
inches out of the water,
j A year ago today there were
three steamers in port—the Tan
ana, the Reliance, and the Shu
: sana—and there was still much
•work in sight for the boats. The
steamer Tanana started on her last;
voyage on October 16, headed for
the upper river to go into winter
j quarters. The launches continued
jto make trips between N'enana and
I Fairbanks until October 21, when
) the river was abandoned because of
j the appearance of slush ice. The
! launches Victory and Ram were
j hauled out of the water on Oc
; tober 22. 1
! .
i It is considered doubtful if
: either the Victory or the Peerless
i will attempt another trip to Fair
I banks this year, the ice being1 such
1 at present as to render navigation
somewhat hazardous for small craft.
Navigation between Nenana and j
* Camp 415, railroad headquarters on j
i the north shore of the river, also i
■ will be suspended today, it having)
j been decided to pull the regular!
1 ferry-boat. Midnight Sun, out of the i
; water immediately. The trip across :
I this morning was accomplished with '
j considerable difficulty. Rowboats
| will be used henceforth until the
, freezer .
Whether or not the steamer Tar.-’
■ ana. which was at Gibbon this morn
; ing. will be able to get back up the
river, will depend upon weather de
velopments of the next day or two.
Should the weather continue cold, .
the steamer undoubtedly will have
much difficulty reaching Nenana.
>nd it is possible it will be found
I necessary to go into winter quarters
at some point along the river. The
Tanana has the freight and pass
iengers of the steamer Yukon, the
I cargo including' some repair parts
which are much needed t>y the Com
mission.
There are those who believe, how
ever. that the weather will moderate
i considerably before winter sets in,
j in which event all* the boats on the
river probably will be able *o reach
their destinations.

FROM KAN1ISHNA
HURRYING HOME
Homeward bound from the Kan
tishna, the steamer Shusana, Captain
Oscar Weber, arrived in port last
night, direct from Roosevelt, where
the last of the freight for the Ait
ken outfit, contracted by the Shu
sana, was delivered by the steamer.
The wheel and the after part of tho
boat was sheathed with ice, indicat
ing that cold weather was encoun
tered along the river.
The Shusana made two trips to
Roosevelt, the first with a cargo
from Fairbanks and Nenana, and
the second from the mouth of the
Tolovana with a load of horse feed
and other supplies. The water was
found rather low in the Kantishna
river on the second voyage up that
stream, but no serious difficulties
were encountered, all of the freight j
having been delivered in good shape I
at Roosevelt landing. The run
back, from Roosevelt to Nenana. with
two empty barges in tow, was made
in six days.
The crew of the Shusana were
busy this morning removing the ice
from the after part of the craft and
gftting her in readiness for the run
up stream to winter quarters, a
voyage of consideraole uncertainty
at this season of the year, with the j
rh-ei running heavy witn ice.
It was decided by Captain Weber
during the day to place his boat in
winter quarters here, the appear
ance of the ice in the river being
such as to discourage an attempt to
reach Chena or Fairbanks.
