GOOD NEWS FOR NENANA
A report from Washington to the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce says
“the coming summer will witness
the routing of the silver output
from the Mayo district via the
Tanana river. Nenana and the Gov
ernment railroad to Seward, thence
Outside to the smelters in the
States.”
The News has heard that nego
tiations were under way for the
handling of the Mayo shipments
via Nenana, and the report received
at Seattle would seem to indicate
that a definite decision to use the
Alaska Railroad for delivery of the
ore shipments at tidewater.
The passage of the Mayo ore
through Nenana will mean largely
increased activity along the water
front, much-needed tonnage for the
railroad and more frequent steamer
service on the Yukon and Tanana
rivers than might otherwise be ex
pected. It is predicted that the
Mayo mines will ship upwards of
ten thousand tons of ore before the
end of next summer, which gives
some idea of the volume of busi
ness in sight.
The time has arrived for Nenana
to start something in the way of
a celebration marking the comple
tion of the Tanana river bridge,
which forms the last link in the
Government railroad system. The
bridge is not only one of the world’s
largest structures of its particular
type, but it was put together in
record time, under winter conditions
by a force of workers who have
contributed liberally to the pros
perity and entertainment of Nenana
during the time they have been
here. Reports from Fairbanks in
dicate that the residents of that
community are keen for participa
tion in such a celebration as has
been suggested and are only waiting
for Nenana take the initiative.
The time is short. The great steel
structure is now resting on its con
crete foundations and within a very
short time will be ready for traffic.
A. P. Kashavarotf, curator of the
Alaska museum at Juneau and hist
orian of note, is planning on a lec
ture tour to Prince William Sound
points, Seward, Anchorage and Fair

line of unwritten history of Alaska
Mr. Kashavaroff being one of the
best posted men on Alaskan history
living today. He has translated old
P.ussian documents familiarizing
himself with the conditions of early
days, and should he visit Seward
everyone should avail themselves of
this opportunity to hear facts not
yet in print.

JUNEAU MERCHANTS WANT
FUR SALES HELD THERE
An effort to transfer the fur sale 1
market from St. Louis to Juneau if I
possible, and to Alaska in all events
was launched at Juneau recently fol
lowing the receipt of advices from
Washington that such a matter is
now under consideration before the
Senate Commerce Committee. Tele
grams are being sent by the Juneau
Commercial Association to that Com
mittee urging the necessary action |
and to other Alaskan commecial
clubs suggesting similar action.
Information regarding the matter
says the Juneau Empire came in a
personal cablegram received by
Charles Goldstein from George R.
Goshaw well known Alaska fur man.
It was said the Senate Commerce
Committee is now holding hearings
on a bill introduced by Senator
Johnson, California, providing that
Alaska fur seal be sold in salted j
form. This it was pointed out
would obviate the necessity of send
ing the skins to St. Louis for curing j
and tanning. Mr. Gochaw suggested
that local business men wire an en
dorsement of the bill and ask that
annua! sales of fur seal skins taken
from the Pribilof Islands be held at
Juneau.
“I have conferred with Governor
Bone on the matter and he assured
me he was in favor of the proposi
tion if the bill can be amended to
require the sales to be held in the
Territory.” said Mr. Goldstein. He
also took up the matter with Presi
dent Allen Shattuck and the Execu
tive board of the Commercial Asso
ciation and the latter will present
local claims by wire to the Senate
Committee.
Senator Johnson’s bill, which was
introduced last April, provides:
‘‘That each and every fur seal
skin taken on Pribilof Islands of
Alaska, under the provisions of the
Act approved August 24. 1912. shall
be accurately measured, as to record
its salted length and girth prior to
its distribution or sale by the Sec
retary of Commerce, who shall make
and preserve such complete record
of measurement thereof, and of the
proceeds derived from such distribu
tions or sale of said skins: PROVID
ED, that no fur seal or fur seals
shall be taken the skin or skins of
which when properly salted, or cured
on salt, shall measure less than;
thirty-seven and one-half inches in
length: PROVIDED FURTHER that
all fur sea! skins so taken and
recorded in their salted form as cur
ed and shipped from the islands,
and in no other shape, by the Sec
retary of Commerce, from and after
the passage of this Act.”
ELECTION COUNT DELAYED
The Territorial Canvassing Board
i-umpleted its canvess of the returns
sf last November’s election so far
is they have been received, accord
ing to a statement made by Gov.
Bone, who is chairman of the Board,
rhree precincts listed in the Second
Division are missing; eight, includ
ing Seward from the Third; two
from the Fourth, and no returns had
oeen received from Beaver Falls n
:he First.
The certificates of the several
election boards were checked by the
Board and found to be correct. Vs
no contest was raised, no canvass of
:he individual ballots was attempted
rhe total vote by the Division and
:he aggregate of all Divisions has
neen made public.
Missing precincts are: Kukuruk,
Shungnak and Port Clarence, in the
Second Division; Koggiung, Naknek.
Seward, Mile 3 V*, Xus'nagak, Dill
ingham, Sand Point and Pirate Cove,
rn the Third, Akiak and Bethel,
both in the Kuskokwim, in the
Fourth. It is not believed that any
election was held at Beaver Falls in
the First Division. It is a sawmill
settlement in the southern end of
the Division.
At a regular bi-weekly luncheon
of the Commercial Club of Ketchi
kan, it was voted unanimously
to send a message to President
Harding endorsing Senator Miles I
Poindexter for the position of sec-1
retary of the interior. Telegraphic!
dispatches said that Senator Jones j
had called on the President to urge
the appointment of Senator Poin
dexter and the action of the club
was in endorsement of the action jf
Senator Jones.
An order for 50,000 feet of ‘um
ber has been received bv the Jun

NEW DISBURSING OFFICER
FOR A. R. C. AT JUNEAU
The assignment of Lieut Pierre A.
Agnew, Engineer Corps, to duty
with the Alaska Road Commission as
Disbursement Officer and Secretary
of the Commission, vice Capt. A. H.
Bond, relieved on account of illness
was made public at Juneau recently
by Col. J. C. Gotwals, Acting Pres
ident of the Commission. He will
arrive at Juneau sometime in March
accompanying Col. James G. Steese
on his return from Washington.
Lieutenant Agnew is a West Point
graduate and was a classmate of
Capt. C. S. Ward, formerly a mem
ber of the Commission. He is now
on duty in Washington. D. C. He
held the rank of Captain before the
recent re-organization of the army
under the reduced force and per
sonnel. He is 26 years of age.
Two other young engineer offi
cers, both lieutenants, will be as
signed to the Commission for field
experience during the coming season
according to the Juneau Empire.
They will also return with Colonel
Steese.
Juneau is getting better, says the
Empire. The fact is evident by a re
port of the receipts for the past
two years at the local post office,
which is perhaps one of the most ac
curate sources of information of the
business status of any city. Accord
ing to the report as given by Post
master Z. M. Bradford, there has
been an increase of 9 per cent in
postal receipts and box rents for the
calendar year 1922 over 1921, and
there was an increase of 6 per cent
in 1921 over the year 1920.
Captain C. A. Livingston and
family, who arrived in' Xenana from
the States on the last train, will
leave for Fairbanks tomorrow'. They
are guests at the Cooney hotel.

tered 42 degrees below zero las:
night, the coldest recorded in Xena
