MRS. ADAMS RETURNS
FROM WINTER OUTSIDE
Among the arrivals on the steamer
Alaska yesterday was Mrs. C. W.
Adams, who has returned to Xe
nana for the summer. Mrs. Adams
spent the winter in the States, witn
her husband, and reports a most
enjoyable time, although the preval
ence of influenza about her fre
quently made her long for the
healthful climate of Interior Alaska.
Captain Adams is master of the
Alaska on the present trip, but ex
pects later in the season to be trans
ferred to his old boat, the Julia B
which will be used for some of the
heavy work on the lower Yukon
when sufficient freight reaches St
Michael.
Mrs. Adams is domiciled at hei
old quarters at the rear of th;
Adams building.
Mrs. Chas. Beam returned to hei
home in the upper town this morn
ing, after a visit of several days
in Xenana as the guest of Mrs J. T
Oldfield.

tention of Captain Douse to return

WM. RODIGKEIT
Proprietor
Among those arriving in Xenana
yesterday on the steamer Alaska
was Stephen R. Capps, who is at the
head of the geological survey party
from Washington, D. C., and the
other members who will form the
party.
Mr. Capps’ party is composed of
T. R. Pendleton, topographer, S. H.
I Cathcart, geologist, F. R. Perkins,
assistant topographer, C. C. Tous
ley and John Reichart, packers, and
Earl Hunter, cook. Their entire
outfit also arrived on the Alaska
and is now being unloaded and as
soon as it has been checked up and
assembled, will be shipped to the
end of steel.
Mr. capps nas options on fourteen
horses here and will probably look
them over and make his final selec
tions within the next day or two.
The animals will be used to pack
the party’s outfit for the duration
of the survey, which is expected
to last until late in the fall.
The geological survey party ex
pects to be able to leave Nenana
tomorrow for the end of steel. It
will then proceed to Broad Pass,
and commencing at this point, will
carry on surveys in a westerly direc
tion, following along the north of
the main divide as far as Muldrow
glacier, at least, and if practicable,
will continue their surveys farther
west until late fall.
On completion of the summer’s
work the party expects to cross
the range at Muldrow glacier and
reach the end of steel on the coast
division by way of the west fork
of the Chulitna river.
This is Mr. Capps first visit to \
this part of the country since the;
summer of 1916, when he headed j
a party of geological surveyors in
the Kantishna country.
Mr. Capps appears to have been |
very fav j: ably impressed with the
Kantishna country and its possibili-!
ties as a mining center, and thinks
that if anything like adequate trans
portation facilities are provided, the
district can be developed and made
to support quite a large community,
and would add considerably to the
mineral output of Alaska. On his
first visit to the district, he was
not able to make any very ex
haustive investigations regarding
its mineral wealth, but thinks that
there are ample indications of min
eralization to warrant the construe-'
tion of roads and trails, at least,
to aid in the development.

BOIL YOUR DRINKING WATER lj
R. L. Vining, pioneer Alaska
trader, reached Xenana yesterday \
on the steamer Alaska with the first;
through shipment of perishables and
several dozen crates of live chickens, j
which found ready sale here. He:
started from Seattle with fifteen!
hundred chickens, but by the time!
the 'shipment reached Xenana many j
crates had been disposed of, the j
demand along the Yukon and at!
Hot Springs being unusually heavy
this year, notwithstanding the fact
that prices are very much higher
than last year. A considerable num
ber of laying hens were disposed
of in Xenana at $4 each.
Perishables also are higher than
.usual this summer, partly due to
j Outside conditions, partly to ad
vanced freight rates and partly to
a demand for larger profits, neces
sitated by losses entailed in ship
’• ment. Bananas are retailing in
| Xenana today at a quarter each.
Mr. Vining disposed of a con
siderable portion of his shipment
here and took the balance to Fair
banks, where he will establish his
headquarters. He expects to remain
in the Interior until the first of
the year. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Vining.
Among the passengers on the
steamer Alaska, enroute to Fair
4
banks, is Fred Johnson, one of In
terior Alaska's best known young
men, who enlisted in the aviation
branch of the navy and saw four
months of service at an American
aerial station on the shores of the
North sea. He went across during
the summer and was on guard in
England when the Germans laid
down their arms. From England
he returned to the United States
and to the Pacific coast, where
he received his discharge at Brem
erton.
After receiving his discharge
Fred worked for two months in the
Pierce Arrow auto shops in Seattle
while awaiting the departure of the
first boat making through connec
tions for the Interior. He received
two advances in pay during the time
that he was in the shops and says
that he probably would have been
receiving six bits an hour by this
time had he remained.
There is plenty of work Outside,
he says, especially in Seattle, and
the wages are good. But the cost!
of living is higher in Seattle than I
in other coast cities visited by him.!
There are many Northerners in j
Seattle—in fact, he says, the town ;
is full of them, and a large nubmer I
of the oldtimers may be expected j
back during the summer. A num
ber w-horn he met, however, appear!
to be satisfied with conditions as i
they find them in the States and j
will remain there.
Johnson did not get to see much j
of the country on the other side'
of the Atlantic. He paid a brief j
visit to France, but did not reach
Paris, nor did he see the world’s i
largest city. He saw a great deal
of interest, however, and rates his
experiences overseas very highly.
The station where he did his bit
was started by the British, but was
turned over to the Americans early
in the summer, of last year. When ;
the armistice was signed the sta
tion was prepared for any emer
gency, perfected planes and the
new Liberty motors having been re
ceived by that time. Earlier in the
summer the equipment was of an in- j
ferior grade.
Asked whether he had encountered
any Alaskans abroad, Johnson told
of two who had been sent to the
same station. One of them, a Cor
dova boy, had gone over on the I
same boat, and the other had joined
the station later.
Two former Fairbanks boys who
saw service in France, Frank Kel
log and Clifford Moody, were met
in Seattle.
NENANA TEAM DECLINES
FAIRBANKS INVITATION
The Nenana ball players have de
clined the invitation extended to
them to spend the Fourth of July
in Fairbanks, where a series of
games was to have been arranged
between Nenana and Fairbanks
teams. In replying to the Fairbanks
invitation, Ike P. Taylor, as repre
sentative of the local organization,
invited the Fairbanks boys to visit
Nenana during the celebration.
In the absence of visiting teams,
the Fairbanksans will try to scrape
up two home teams for an exhibition
game.

MRS. STERLING'S
BODY IS SHIPPED
ON SIR. ALASKA
An inquest was held at the office
of the U. S. commissioner at 7:30
last night over the body of the late
Mrs. Hawley Sterling, found floating
in the Tanana river, about three
miles above town yesterday, by Wm.
McDougall.
The following were the jurors:
Ed Jern, P. J. Lynch, J. R. Sloan,
J. L. Clark, Ed McConnel and S. E.
Parks, who viewed the body as, .t
lay in the specially prepared metal
casket. Messrs Wm. McDougal, I
James Woods, Norman Campbell, Dr.
D. H. More and A. W. Heimburger
were examined as witnesses, and a
verdict of death from accidental
drowning was returned. A. W. Heim
burger acted as undertaker and pre
pared the body for shipment, accorn
panying it to Fairbanks.
The remains were finally sealed
in the metal casket, which was again
enclosed in a wooden box, and it
was then shipped on the steamer
Alaska to Fairbanks, where it will
be taken in charge of by Engineer
Hawley Sterling, the husband of the
deceased, and receive burial in ac
cordance with the rites of the
Roman Catholic church, to which de
nomination the deceased belonged.
The decased was a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Young Sr., well
known Fairbanks residents, the other
relatives being Miss Heien Young,
sister, Frank Young dr., brother, and
his wife.
Mrs. Sterling was on her way to
Fairbanks last fall to visit her father,
taking passage on the launch Flyer,
for the trip, when, in some unac- ■
countable manner, the boat was ;
wrecked and all on board perished.1
