OLDTIMER SEEKS ASSISTANCE
TO TAKE HIM TO ROCHESTER
The Notts is in receipt of a let
ter from Engineer in Charge Fred’k
D. Browne relative to a communica
tion received by him from Kr.ut
Koland, oldtimer of the Interior,
who is seeking financial aid to take
him to the Mayo hospital at Rochest
er, Minnesota. The communication
was addressed to Mr. Browne, at
Nenana. and inasmuch as he is
now stationed at Anchorage, he has
passed the letter on to The News
for the reason, Mr. Browne writes,!
that "it is amongst his Nenana and
Fairbanks friends, in particular that
I should expect assistance, for Mr.
Koland was in the freighting and
stage business between those two
towns, and in the Interior generally.”
Mr. Browne suggests that the sub
stance of the letter be published
and given "into the hands of some
of his friends, co-operating possibly
with the—Pioneer Lodge."
The oldtimer, in his letter to Mr. j
Browne, says that he spent seven
months at Tenakee Hot Springs af
ter leaving the Interior and that he '
is now barely able to walk and can
talk but little, and in such condition i
that he is unable to do anything. He
says he was somewhat improved at
the springs but is not yet well and
is not sure that he ever will be well j
But he is hopeful that if he can get
to the Mayo hospital he will have i
a chance, and for that purpose he 1
needs $500. He is at present at •
Karlstad, Minnesota.
The letter says in part: “I have
spent my best years in Alaska and
have my real friends there. Can you
do anything to help me along’ You
know me and I don’t need to say
a whole lot. I am out of money and
want to go to Mayo Bros.’ hospital,
but it will cost about $300 to go i
there for treatment.”
Knut Koland is well known in Ne-.
nana, where he made hi3 headquart
ers for several years, prior to leav- j
ing for the Tenakee Hot Springs
for the benefit of his health. He
was in very poor health when he
left and had considerable difficulty!
raising sufficient funds for the trip,
through the sale of freighting equip
ment. He was liberal with his money
when he had his health, and his
many friends in the Interior will ■
regret to learn of his present un-;
fortunate condition.

NENANA COAL FINDS MARKET
IN TOWNS ON ALASKA COAST
The development of the big coal
seams on Healy Fork, which was un
dertaken some time ago by the
Healy River Coal Corporation, has
made it possible for that company
to market coal successfully in com
petion with the mines of the Mata
nuska region, according to R. S.
Donaldson, manager of the local
corporation, who returned to Healy
this weey from a successful selling
trip to Anchorage and Seward.
Mr. Donaldson took a carload of
Healy coal along with him for the
purpose of introducing the fuel and
found ready demand for it, in both
of the coast towns.
There is some good coal in the
Matanuska district, Mr. Donaldson
says, but there are difficulties in the
way of mining it which restrict op-;
erations and increase the cost of
mining considerably beyond that ob
taining on Healy Fork, where the |
Healy River Coal Corporation has |
access to some of the biggest seams
in the world, and the fuel found'
there will compare favorably in ■
quality with the coast product.
The company will make regular j
shipments to Anchorage and it is i
jxpected that the Seward market will
require at least two cars a week. !
Shipments will start just as soon as i
coal cars are available.
FUNERAL OF FRANK A. JONES
