TRAIN SCHEDULE TO CHANGE 1
AT BEGINNING OF NEW WEEK '
__ l
As already announced in the col- f
umns of The Xews, the train sched- -
ule will undergo a radical change -
on Monday, with the departure of (
the regular northbound train from t
Seward. The change will mark the (
inauguration of through traffic be- c
tween Seward and Fairbanks, with .
an all-night stop at Curry and trans- j
fer of passengers at Happy until 1
such time as the standard gauge .,
track is extended from that point ,
. to Fairbanks. j
Trains will arrive at Xenana from
the south at five o’clock on Tues- T
day and Friday afternoons, going to ]
Happy with a stop of only fifteen
minutes here.
The south bound train from Fair
banks will leave the upper town at
seven in the morning on Tuesdays >
and Fridays and will reach "Xenana (
at 11:20, for a stop of fifteen min
utes. The train will reach Curry at .
9:10 p.m. and remain there until i
7:30 the following morning, arriv- ,
ing at Anchorage at 1:35 p.m.. and ]
Seward 7:50 p. m.
The change will prove somewhat
confusing to Xenanaites for a time
for the reason that the early train j
will come from Fairbanks instead of
coast, but it is sure to prove popu- ,
lar with the traveling public on ac
count of the all-daylight trip thru
the Canyon and Board Pass sec- ,
tions and a restful night in *he
palatial new Curry hotel.
There is difference of o inion as ]
to how the change will effect Xe- ,
.. nana. with only a f;fteen-nr,:nute .
stop, but inasmuch as Anchorage
» already has met a similar condition
. without serious result, it is j ro
e bable that Xenana also will get a
, long somehow under the new ar
^ rangement.
5 It may be just a coincidence, but
it is worthy of note that the three
representatives who voted in favor
of repealing the Sydicalism bill vot
ed against the Literacy bill.

lOMMITTEE FINDS PIONEERS
SITKA ARE COMFORTABLE
Praise /or the present manage
nent of the Pioneer's Home at Sitka
ind the new system inaugurated
here since the last Legislative in
spection is contained in the formal
■eport of the Joint Legislative Com
nittee recently inspecting the in
stitution. The report was made by
senator Snodgrass, chaijjman of the
-ommittee from the upper House. .
Improvements and additions to the
property are recommended, amount
ng to an estimated cost of approxi
nately *16,000. These include paint
ng of buildings, repairs to founda
:ions, new flooring, rehabilitation of
vails further partitioning at what
s known as the barracks building
Equipment for the hospital is recom
mended, alteration in the heating
system of that building and other
supplies and furniture at a cost of’
52.5(^0 are favored. Purchase of a
new washing machine for the laund
ry is said to be necessary. Repairs to
the office and quarters of the super- j
ntendent of the Home, rehabilita-1
tion of the old quarters of the nurs
ing staff as a place for caring for
insane patients are also recommend
ed.
The desirability of adding to the
land area of the instutanon was
touched on by the Committee's re
port. which said:
“The grounds are kept in good
conditon about the buildings and are
pleasing to the eye. The garden is
inadequate for the needs of the
Home. Your Committee recommends]
that efforts be made to secure a
tract of land from the Governor
Brady homestead for gardening and
other purposes, either by purchase
or lease, that beneficial voluntary
employment may be furnished the
old pioneers of the Home. Prize
gardening would tend to interest
many of the men and make them
more contented, and at the same
time furnish the Home with fresh
vegetables. A greenhouse would
prove a very profitable addition to
the instution. Your Committee re
commends that $2,000 be appropri
ated for that purpose."
I: is also recommened that addi
tional land be provided for burial
purposes, the present cemetery be
ing full. It is estimated that $1,500
will be required for this. A small
dental fund is also suggested.
Relative to the management and
general conditions, the report said:
“The work of the superintendent
seems very satisfactory and all de
partments are conducted in a busi
ness-like manner.
“The attending physician has giv
en satisfaction in every respect and
gets along with all the old pioneers
without friction. Those under his
care have great faith in him and his
ability to restore them to health.
The nurses employed at the Home
are giving full measure of time and
their strength in their care for the
feeble and suffering under their
care. The wages of nurses were cut
slightly in order to get through
without deficit. The wages should
be raised at once, to the scale before
the cut. at least. We recommend a
substantial increase.’’ The kitchen
help was found to be overworked
and employment of an additinal
cook is asked.
In conclusion the report said:
“A liberal fund should be provided
for incidental and emergencies that
always confront the management.
The present method of management
with an active member of the Board
of Trustees on the ground has prov
en very satisfactory and should be
continued. Should there be an in
crease made in the pension allow
ance, those desiring to leave the
Home to accept the provisions
should get a certificate of health
from a physician not connected
with the Home."
Derrick Lane, for many jtears a
resident of Seward, connected in a
responsible capacity with the form
er Alaska Northern railroad, which
has been taken over by the govern
ment, will leave Seattle soon en
route to Kanatak, where he will
assume the management of the Fin
negan-Garber townsite.
