I The Alaska Road commission will
not do any work in the Kantishna
district this year, according to ad
vices received by the Nenana Com
mercial club this week from Major
Waugh, head of the federal road
building department. An effort had
| been made to induce the road com
mission to make a survey of a pro
posed wagon road, to connect the
Kantishna district with the Govern
ment railroad, and for a time this
summer it seemed likely that ample
funds would be available to do the
work. The action of Congress, how
ever, in cutting down the Alaska
wagon road appropriation, consid
erably upset the plans of the com
mission, with the result that no
work at all will be done this year
in the Kantishna, where improved
transportation facilities probably are
more needed to stimulate develop
ment than in any other section of
Alaska.
The federal commission expended
$4,000 in road work in the Kan
tishna a couple of years ago, but
the work was poorly done and of
absolutely no benefit to the district.
The territorial commission has also
expended a small amount of money
in that district, in improving the
pack trail from Roosevelt toward
the center of mining activities. This
work was well done and has made
it possible to land supplies on the
creeks during the summer at greatly
reduced cost.
But what the miners of the Kan
tishna want and need is a wagon
road, connecting the district with
the Government railroad and per
mitting traffic of all kinds during
all seasons of the year.
Referring to previous correspond
ence regarding the Kantishna road
project,” says Major Waugh in his
letter to the club, “I now have to
advise that on account of the cut
ting of our appropriation to $100,
000, we have definitely abandoned
any hope of making even a survey
of this road this summer. We are
going to have to figure very close
in order to properly maintain our
present military road system.
“I would suggest that you make
an effort to interest the Territorial
Rdad commission in the Kantishna
project, in order that they may feel
inclined to co-operate with us on
this road next season. Their co
operation would be particularly ad
vantageous, as, regardless of what
our appropriation for next year
might be, it would, in all probabili
ty, not be available before late in
the summer, and we should at least
have funds for survey early in the
season, or another year will pass
iwith no work done.
| ‘‘The Territorial Road commis
ision, under the new law, is eo-oper
iating with us on a number of proj
ects this season, and we hope that
| next year the efforts of the two
commissions may be more united.”

ASKS ABOUT ALASKA
The Nenana Commercial club has
received a number of inquiries of
late regarding conditions and possi
bilities in this part of Alaska, indi
cating a growing interest in the
North.
The last mail brought a letter
from a resident of San Francisco,
with a request for descriptive lit
erature pertaining to Nenana and
vicinity, and a copy of Nenana’s
newspaper.
Copies of The News already have
I been forwarded to the address given,
and Secretary Diven will endeavor
to supply the other information
desired.

EXCURSIONISTS
10 START AT 6;
The excursion boat Midnight Sun
is scheduled to leave Nenana for
Fairbanks this afternoon at six
o’clock, with a big crowd of base
ball fans who are going to the
upper town to help the local team
retain its title to the Interior Alas
ka baseball championship. Town
pride, a low round-trip fare and
the prospect of a jolly outing have
i combined to create a big demand
for reservations, and there is every
reason to believe this afternoon that
the accommodations will be sold out
before the hour of sailing. The
Sun will arrive at Fairbanks about
noon tomorrow, and will start on
the return trip Sunday night. The
majority of the excursionists, how
ever, will leave the boat at Chena
and complete the journey ori a Tan
ana Valley Special, arrangements
for which have been made by the
baseball committee.
Rody Conners, who first gained
prominence as a chef on the mem
orable Envoldson stampede up the
Pelly river from Dawson in the
early Klondike days, has been espe
eially engaged to accompany the
excursionists as steward, and picnic
lunches, a la Hoole canyon, will be
served at frequent intervals en
route, under his capable direction.
Rody says there is no room for a
stove on the boat, otherwise he
might serve stews—still, you never
can tell.
i
| Many of the excursionists are J
j taking blankets with them, for pro
tection against the chill night air,
and all are warned to at least take
J heavy coats. They will prove a wel
come addition to wearing apparel
before the voyage is ended,
j The Gilcher launch Pronto will
j accompany the outfit to assist the j
| Sun in towing the excursian barge.'
| This assistance should shorten the
Ivovage bv several hours.
;
j The opening game of the series
]will be played tomorrow afternoon,
land the concluding games on Sun
! i
I day. Tomorrow night the visitors j
will be entertained by the Fair-!
jbanksans at a dance at the Audi
torium, to which all Xenanaites will
i be admitted free. Many of the
Fairbanks automobiles also will be
at the service of the visitors, and
everything possible will be done by
the residents of the up-river town j
to make the time pass quickly and j
pleasantly.
The round-trip excursion fare for
men is $10, with a half rate for
ladies. This includes lunch and a
^ride on the Tanana Valley speeder.
The Douse launch Victory started
down from Fairbanks about noon
! today to pick up a load of excur
