RAIN SPOILS VACATION;
HOLDS UP VACATIONERS
There is an element of uncertainty
about vacationing at this season of
the year and in this particular part
of Alaska. At any rate, that is the
decision reached by Mrs. Fred’k D.
Browne and Mrs. M. J. Cooney, who
returned to town yesterday after
noon from the end of steel, where j
they were held prisoners by the
weather man for more than a week.
The two ladies left Nenana a
week ago last night, expecting to re- j
turn to town the following Satur
day. But before they were ready j
to come home, the bridge at 43-mile !
was carried away by high water,
leaving them on one side of the
swift Nenana river and their homes ;
in Nenana on the other. They
could have crossed the river in a
small boat which is used at the
Crossing as a ferry, and they finally
come that way, but not until sev
eral days had been consumed in
mustering courage for the hazardous
ride. A speeder awaited the ladies
on the Nenana side of the river and
brought them to town.
Almost incessant rain during the
time that the ladies were at Lig
nite, kept them indoors the greater
part of the time and spoiled the
fishing, which is usually good in
that locality.

TERMS OF NEW LAW GIVING
RAILROAD TOWNS HOME RULE
Legislation designed to extend to
towns along the Alaska railroad
such local self-government as is ap
proved by the Alaskan Engineering
commission was enacted at the last
session of the territorial legislature.
In a limited way the law grants the
usual police, sanitation and admini
strative powers to any community
that wishes to exercise them, but
does not interfere with any control
or management of townsite affairs
that the Commission desires to re
serve to itself.
The text of the law follows:
“An act to provide for the elec
tion of a board of trustees for the
local self-government of towns or
communities within the limits of the
public domain now under the con
Itrol of the land and industrial de
partment; and defining the powers
i of such board.
“Be it enacted by the legislature
of the territory of Alaska:
i “Section 1. That any town or
j community in the territory of Alas
< ka, within the limits of any public
; domain, now under the control of
| the land and industrial department
of the United States of America,
shall have authority to elect a board
of trustees for the local self-govern
ment of such town or community
as herinafter set forth; provided,
that the powers of such board of
trustees shall in no way conflict
with any federal officer represent
ing the land and industrial depart
ment of the United States of Amer
i ica, or representing any other de
1 partment of the federal government.
“Section 2. A petition, praying
j for an order establishing and direct
ing the election of a board of trus

; upon, fix the time and place for
j considering said petition, which time
i shall not be less than 15, nor more
; than 30 days, after the date of su**h
order. Upon making such order,
fixing the time and place for the
1 consideration of such petition, the
; commissioner, ex-officio probate
j judge, shall forthwith cause to be

m OF WAR IS
WING LARGE
AS STAR FVENI
—
The erection of a foundation on
the waterfront for the tug of war i
platform which will be used in con- j
nection with the Fourth of July;
celebration, has been the means of j
stimulating interest in pulling and
it is believed that a large number
of enthusiasts will be on hand to,
try out their strength when the plat
form is put in place.
Manager Bellerby, of the tug of
war end of the celebration, reports
that the paraphernalia is about
ready now and will be put in place
just as soon as weather conditions
wdll permit. The platform has been
| completed, in twelve-foot sections,!
ready to place on the foundation,
and it is expected that the pulling
rope and other rigging will be ready
today.
The foundation haa been lai?T
across the foot of M street, about
midway between the end of that '
'street and the waterfront, far
I enough away from buildings and j
j other obstructions to permit of a !
| large crowd gathering bout The
platform will be about a foot off
l the ground, and will be large enough
;
j and strong enough for any sort of a
! contest local pullers may care to
I stage.
Two challenges have been issued <
thus far, one by an aggregation of j
i businessmen who are eager to pud
I against a commission team, and the
'other by an outfit calling them
selves the Moonshiners. It is con
sidered doubtful, however, if a
match will be arranged until after
the platform is in place and local
strong men have had a chance to;
try out.
