EXCITEMENT SCARCE
ALONG YUKON RIVER
Excitement was about as scarce
as ice worms during the month of
May in the vicinity of Fort Yukon,
aeording to official advices received
this wreek at the office of the United
States marshal at Fairbanks. It was
a very quiet month for that usually
agitated locality, the deputy reports,
the only occurrences really worth
reporting being the death of three
native children, two of whom were
pneumonia victims anti the third a
victim of meningitis.
Fort Yukon merchants and the
native residents of the village are
taking advantage of the quiet spell
to apply much needed paint'to the
store buildings and cabins.
Heimberger'g Cascade Laundry has
just been renovated. Has sanitary
baths and furnishings. Shampooing
i and electric drying a specialty.
Terms reasonable.

The steel gang under Foreman
Thomas K. Blakey, which had been
engaged during the past week or
iso doing preliminary work on the
j Nenana-Fairbanks right of way,
| having finished this work, will now
; commence actual steel laying oper
i ations.
All the men needed for the work
-have not been gotten together yet,
| but with the small force at hi;
'command, a commencement will be
i made with laying steel toward Fair
banks tomorrow morning.
The force will be added to as
jsoon as men become available and,
ithe road will be extended as fast
j as possible.
Grading contractors are hard at
I it, all the way from within a few
j miles of camp 415 to near the com
ipleted grade on the Fairbanks end,
iand it is hoped that with plenty
I of money available for continuing
the work, the train service between
| Nenana and Fairbanks will be es
itablished before next winter.

: ranged, announces that Prof. Berg
;
;gren will be on hand to furnish
