STEAMER TAM
HEREWITH LOAD
The steamer Tanana. which was
sent down the river to relieve -the
Seattle No. 3 of two barges enroute
up the Yukon from St. Michael,;
returned to port shortly after nine
last night and will leave for Fair-,
banks sometime this evening. A
* considerable portion of the freight \
landed by the Tanana was discharg
ed here, including 130 tons of gen
eral cargo for the Northern Com
mercial company and 40 tons of
frozen beef for the Alaskan En
gineering commission. ' While the
freight was being unloaded, the Tan
k ana washed boilers.
The passengers aboard the Tana
na included Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Mc
Connell, for Fairbanks, and A. L.
Manger, Louis Lupan, R. M. Cope
land, and M. T. Robinson.
Upon arrival at Fairbanks, the
Tanana will he tied up and Captain
Green and the members of his crew
will transfer to the Reliance and
proceed to the upper Tanana with
* a load of freight for Tanana Cross
ing and points in that district. The
Reliance has been undergoing re
pairs for the voyage, which is one
of the hardest known to Interior
river boats.
The barges in tow of the Tanana
are the Arizona and the cold stor
► age barge McXab.
FAIRBANKS AUTOISTS
SCARE UP BLACK BEAR
While Mr. and Mrs. Max Love
of Fairbanks were autoing on the
Richardson highway south of town,
yesterday, they almost ran into a
black bear, which came onto the
road unexpected. The machine was
^ stopped in time to avert a collision,
and, after taking a survey of his
surroundings, Bruin returned to the
seclusion of the tall urfcut, leaving
^ the frightened autoists in undisput
ed possession of the road.
BRIDE ACCOMPANIES
Among yesterday’s passengers on
the steamer Yukon were Richard C.
Morris, of the firm of Fowler &
Morris, and his bride, their arrival
here completing a journey of many
thousands of miles, North W ales to
-
Nenana.
Mr. Morris left Nenana for the
Old Country last April, going out
by way of the Broad Pass trail. He
went almost direct to Dolgelley,
North Wales, the home of Mrs.
Morris, who was Miss Luned Lewis
before the arrival there of the sour
dough Northerner, and six weeks
were spent .on the other side of the
Atlantic.
Mr. Morris says that considerable
difficulty was experienced in secur
ing passage to the United States,
all reservations to New York hav
ing been sold out for some time
ahead. In order to avoid a long
wait, the newlyweds took a steamer
for New Orleans.
The reason for the congested con
dition, Mr. Morris says, is not due
so much to increased travel as to
the lack of boats, the majority of
which are still engaged in transport
ing troops, to the exclusion of all
other business.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris will make
their home on the second floor of
the Fowler & Morris building, where
comfortable living quarters have
been arranged.

'.mtuuniiiuiiiiiiiuuntmiiiisiiimmuiiiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiitiimiiiiiiiiiiiuiimiii:
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinii;
Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, who came
to Nenana as chief surgeon of the
Alaskan Engineering commission
hospital when work was started on
the Government railroad in Interior
Alaska, and who gave up his work
here temporarily to assist in the
hospital work overseas, returned
home yesterday on the steamer Yu
kon, to resume his old place as head
of the local hospital. He was ac
companied by Mrs. Smith. Dr. Thos.
O. Lake, who will be assistant sur
geon, and Harry G. Abercrombie,
who will resume his old place as
anaesthetist at the hospital.
Dr. Smith left Nenana fourteen
months ago to enter the medical
branch of the American army. He
was stationed first at Camp Fremont,
California, and from there was
sent to Base Hospital No. 95, at
Perigueux, France, with the rank
of captain, where he remained for
six months, returning to the United
States after the close of the war,
and starting for Nenana at the first
opportunity.
Dr. Smith believes that Alaska
is on the eve of an era of develop
ment which will bring prosperity
to the various districts which have
been standing still since the early
days of the war. Nenana, in his
opinion, has a splendid chance to
gather in a large share of that pros
perity, and he says he is here to
help in the forward movement in
any way that he can.
Times are good in the States, he
says, but there appears to be a
feeling of unrest everywhere Out
side and conditions, on that account,
are very unsettled. There is bound
to be a readjustment sooner or
later, and he believes Alaska will
be helped greatly when the change
comes.
During the absence of Dr. Smith
in Europe, Mrs. Smith divided her
time between Danbury, Conn., and
Brooklyn, in both of which cities she
has relatives.
The Smiths will occupy the cot
tage recently vacated by Dr. and
Mrs. David H. M_ore.
F-e*h garden seeds, just arrived.

LAUNCH IS DISABLED
ON TOLOVANA VOYAGE
The launch belonging to R. C.
Wood, in which the owner. Bob
Menzie, and R. J. Sommers recently
made the trip to the logjam, was
disabled on the return trip down
the Tolovana river and is being
taken to Fairbanks on the steamer
Tanana, which picked up the outfit
at the mouth of the Tolovana river.
The occupants of the launch were
later transferred to the steamer Yu
kon, which passed the Tanana en
route up.
BLOODED RETRIEVER
ACCOMPANIES DOCTOR
with
A Chesterfield retriever,
registered pedigree, covering seven
.generations, acocmpanied Dr. M. E.
Smith to Nenana, the blooded canine
'hpving been purchased at Dawson
;from a recent arrival at the Yukon
metropolis.
The dog was purchased to take
the place of Jack, well known to
all oldtime residents of Nenana, who
was killed by an auto in Brooklyn
on the evening before Dr. Smith
sailed for France.
Mrs. F. S. Gordon, wife of the
Fairbanks merchandiser, sprained her
ankle severely yesterday at Fair

mobile.

FIVE-DAY WEEK
FOE WRITERS IS
PUBLISHER’S PLAN
LONDON'.—All the regular edi
tors, special writers and reporters I
of The Times, the Daily Mail, and I
the Evening News are to have two
days each week for rest or recrea
tion under the “five-day working
week” which Lord Northcliffe is in
troducing in his newspaper proper
ties.
The writing staffs of The Times
and the Daily Mail already have
been reorganized on this basis, and
the system is to be extended to the
News.
The same system is to be ar
ranged in the near future for all
others on these papers, including all
members of the business staffs, the
printing and mechanical forces. This
is not possible at present on account
of the scarcity of skilled labor.
Lord Norhtcliffe’s view is that all
men, especially those engaged in
brain work, attain their highest ef
ficiency by this division of work
and recreation, and by a complete
change at these regular and fre
quent intervals.
The chief rival of Lord North
cliffe in adherence to the theory
of short hours and better work is
the great soap magnate. Lord Lever
hulme, formerly William Lever. His
ambition is to have a working day
of six hours for all his thousands
of employees, and he has even
hinted at a. four-hour day as a pos
sibility of the future.
F'esls garden seeds, just arrived.

ABERCROMBIE IS BACK
, TO ACCEPT OLD PLACE
Harry G. Abercromie. former an
aesthetist at the Commission hos
pital, has returned to Nenana from
the Outside, after an absence of 11
months, to again enter the employ
of the Government in his old posi
tion. And Harry is glad to get
back, too. Fourteen months in the
States was quite enough for him,
and he is now in Nenana to settle
down. Get that, girls?—settle down.
Harry was in California practically
all the time he was Outside, and
admits that he had a pretty good
time. But when Dr. Smith hunted
,fcim up and talked to him about get
ting into the harness again at Ne
nana, he was ready to come. He
made the trip in with the Smith
party.
NEW ASSISTANT HERE
FOR LOCAL HOSPITAL
_
Dr. Thomas O. Lake reached Ne
nana on the steamer Yukon yester
day to accept a position as assistant
surgeon at the Government hospital.
He was induced by Dr. Smith to
make the long journey from Wiscon
sin to Alaska, and was a member
of the Smith party on the trip in.
Dr. Lake’s home town is j)shkosh.
i Wisconsin.
He will assume his new duties as
a member of the hospital staff im
mediately.
EXCURSION TO NENANA
SLOWS FAIRBANKS DOWN
Reports received from Fairbanks
this morning indicate that the whole
sale exodus in the direction of Ne
nana left the town practically de
serted. There was absolutely noth
ing doing there yesterday, and the
failure of the excursionists to arrive
home this morning gave promise of
another very quiet day.
Fairbanks estimates that nearly
one hundred residents of that town
visited Nenana.
