'RIVER TRANSPORTATION
AGREEMENT IS “SETTLED
_
Negotiations between the Alaskan
Engineering Commission and the
White Pass relative to the operation
of Government and White Pass
boats on the Yukon and Tanana riv
ers during the coming summer, have
been concluded, acording to inform
ation obtained by Walter F. Scott,
well known former resident of Xe
nana, who arrived from the States
several days ago. Mr. Scott was in
formed that an agreement had been
reached between the commission and
the transportation company under
the terms of which the Canadian
b-ats will optrate between Dawson
and Nenma and the Government
boats will operate between Nenana
and St. Michael. The Canadian boats
will bring all of the ore from Mayo
to Nenana for shipment to the coast
by way of the Government railroad
and handle all the passenger traffic
between the upper Yukon and Nena
na. The Government boats will sup
ply the frieght requirements along
the lower Yukon and St. Michael,
including possibly large shipments
of coal for the Nome district. It is
understood Ernie Barteau will have
charge of the White Pass offices at
Nenana. and that the White Pass
boats operating on the river will be
the steamers Alaska and Yukon,
formerly in service between Nenana
and Dawson.
Mr. Scott also heard, on good au
thority that a definite decision had
been reached at Washington to
turn the Alaska Railroad over to the
Alaska Road Commission, with Col.
J_ G. Steese in charge. The news
reaching Nenana previously was to
the effect that such a step was con
templated but not definitely decided
upon. The transfer of authority,
Mr. Scott was toid, would take
place on the first of May.
Conditions along the Pacific coast
Mr. Ccott says, are fairly good but
not yet normal. Steady demands
for lumber are keeping the lumber
districts busy, but the agricultural
districts are far from prospering.
As a result of the depression in the
farming industry the city of Spo
kane has lost 12,000 of its popula
tion during the last year.
The busiest place along the coast
is Los Angeles, with the population
that is rapidly approaching the mil
lion mark and an area that is ex
panding steadily in all directions.
Lumber shipments coming in
through the port of San Pedro for
building operations in Los Angeles
and suburbs have reached such pro

portions that the railroads are un
able to handle them. Recently forty
million feet lay piled on the docks
awaiting shipment.
Many former Alaskans were seen
' in and about Los Angeles. J. A
; Slippern and son Arild have all
the work they can handle in their
wood-working shop, and Miss Thora
has a good position as secretary for
a big corporation. J. Harmon Cas
key. former Fairbanks publisher,
now has a printshop in Los Angeles
and is doing well. Eddie Suter. for
mer Fairbanks jeweler, has struck
it good in the oil game at Hunting
ton Beach and will soon be able to
write his wealth in six figures. Bill
Packer, formerly with the railroad
at N’enana. has lost heavily on bad
investments. He is stopping with an
old friend in Los Angeles. Fredj
Douse, who formerly operated the
launch Victory on the Tanana river i
;
is still in the real estate business‘
and is married. Ernest Foster, form
erly with the commission at N’enana,
is now in the contracting business
at Long Beach and is doing well.
Bob Bums is also at Long Beach,
in the oil promotion game.
Coming north to San Francisco,
that city looked quiet to Mr. Scott
after the bustle of Los Angeles
Seattle appeared about as usual,
but a number of the smaller mer ]
chants were complaining that busi
ness was quiet.
The main trouble with the Out
side, in the opinion of the oldtimer,
is that the cost of living just about
consumes income, no matter what
that income maybe People seem to
be living up their dollars as fast as
they come in; no matter what their •
station in life. A large part of many
incomes goes for gasoline, as nearly
everyone on the coast now owns a
car, and the good roads are very
atractive.
Albert Fortier returned yesterday
to his roadhouse on the Tolovana j
trail, after a visit of several days
in town.
George E. Markle left for the
coast yesterday to meet Mrs. Markle
who was among those arriving on
the Alameda.
TAXPAYERS ATTENTION
Taxpayers who have not yet filed
reports with Assessor C. D. Leckie
are requested to make returns with
out further delay otherwise it will
be necessary for the assessor to
