COGGY ON TRIP
FROM ENGLAND
Labor troubles in the Old Coun
try, concerning which the news dis
patches have been very vague, have
seriously interfered with the move
ments of Atlantic liners during the
past several weeks, according to in
formation received in Xenana today
from W. A. Coghill, local merchan
diser, who is enroute home with a
bride. A telegram received by John
H. Scott this morning announces
the arrival of "Coggy” at Xew
York on August 9th, and explains
that it was impossible to cross the
pond earlier, on account of strike
conditions, presumably on the other
side of the Atlantic.
Prior to the receipt of the tele
gram, it was supposed that Mr. and
Mrs. Coghill had reached Seattle
last week and would be on their
way to Alaska within a day or two
after their arrival at the Puget
Sound city.

TANANA COMING '
TO MEET YUKON,
TAKE OVER TOW
The steamer Tanana was sched-1
uled to leave Fairbanks at 2 o'clock •
this afternoon for a special trip to ,
Tolovana for the purpose of reliev
ing the steamer Yukon of part of
the • heavy tow now enroute up
stream from the mouth of the river.
The Tanana will return to Nenana,
where part of the cargo will be un
loaded and other freight taken on, t
and then proceed to Fairbanks.
The steamer Yukon, which passed
Hot Springs at 8 o’clock this morn
ing, has the barges Wolverine and
Ermine in tow, the latter being load
ed with rails for the Nenana-Fair
banks line. The barge Wolverine
will be left at the mouth of the
Tolovana river, where considerable
of the cargo will be discharged, and
the Yukon will continue on to Fair
banks with the barge-load of steel.
After picking up the barge at
Tolovana, the steamer Tanana will
come to Nenana for additional cargo
for railroad construction on the Fair
banks end of the railroad, the
freight consisting of about 100 tons
of material and equipment.
It cannot be stated positively
when the Tanana will sail on the
| return trip to Fairbanks, but it is
.believed by local representatives of
(the company that the departure will
ibe sufficiently delayed by the trans
fer of freight to suit the conven
ience of Nenana baseball fans who
prefer to travel on a regular pass
enger steamer. The boat may get
away late Wednesday, but it is con
sidered more likely that the sailing
will be on Thursday.
The Kantishna voyage of the Re
liance, which was suggested for this
jweek upon the return of the Reli
ance to Fairbanks from the upper
i Tanana, has been postponed until
: later in the season.
A. B. BUTTON GETS
Comes now the proof that it is u
mighty fine thing to be a member
of the Arctic Brotherhood, for by
wearing an A. B. button. Captain
Franklin Johnston, a well-known
oldtimer of the North, was able to
‘secure an interview which landed
|him a lucrative position which he
; would not overwise have been able
to get, according to a letter recent
ly received on the coast by Arthui
JG. Shoup.
Writing from \\ ashmgton, D. C.,
j Captain William C. Ward, another
jwell-known Alaskan, who was in the
j coast guard service in the North
‘for a number of years, and who is
[now assistant to Edward N. Hurley,
[head of the United States shipping
jboard, says that Captain Johnston
'appeared at his office one day and
'asked for an interview. The sec
retary in the outer room refused
‘him admission, and just at that
[time Captain Ward happened to step
out. He saw the A. B. button, made
inquiries, and the result was that
j Captain Johnston was appointed port
I captain of the J. H. W. Steele com
] pany, of Galveston, Texas.
He enclosed a letter written to
him by Captain Johnston, showing
that the latter was comfortably situ
ated and well pleased.

WAUGH TO GIVE
NEW CAMP ROAD
10ILP TRADE
A road from Hyder, opening up j
the heart of the surrounding mining |
district, will be built as soon as ar
rangements can be made by the
Alaska Road commission, according
to Major W. H. Waugh, president of
that crganization, who returned to
Ketchikan recently frcm Hyder,
where he looked over the ground.
There is alreadv a road through
the district 16 mi’es long, built by
the Pioneer Gold Mining company.
It was built at a cost of $85,000.
The American road will continue
along the same course.
The new road will go for 11
miles along the present one, stop
ping approximately a mile from the
Canadian border.
Although the mines are on the
Canadian side of the line, approxi
mately nine miles of the road is on
the Alaskan side and the town of
Hyder, which is the natural dis
tribution point, will get the benefit,
it is pointed out. ,
It is a question of whether the
Americans wish to get the benefit of
the business or whether they are to
permit it to go to Prince Rupert
and Stewart, is the way a recent
arrival explains the road situation.
The Canadian government and
business men are doing everything
possible to have the business divert
ed to Stewart, but Hyder is the
natural distributing point and will
get the bulk of the trade of the
men who work at the mines, if prop
er encouragement is given.
Another thing which is greatly
needed is a regular mail service be
tween Ketchikan and Hyder.
It is estimated that there are 50(1
men in the vicinity of Hyder now
and that the number will be in
creased to several thousand withir
the next two years,
i The mining work there is not £
“strike,” for that was made severa
years ago, but it is the steady de
velopment of properties which wil
| make big producing mines, whicl
| will employ hundreds of men.

work on the Nenana-Fairbanks line
near 423, have completed the grade
allotted to them and will start on

they will move 8,000 yards of dirt,
the contract including both a fill
and a cut.
Victor Brown, who was in town
today making preparations for the
new work, says that he and his
I partners were fairly successful in
their operations near Camp 423, de
spite the wet weather which delayed
the work somewhat earlier in the
(summer.
I The men will use wheelbarrows
I for a time on the new work, but
later will move the dirt with ears.
There are six partners in the new
contract and they will employ a
Japanese cook. The partners are:
Victor Brown, Andrew Anderson,
Charles Street, Eric Kaleen, Andrew
Groning, and Martin Skatabo.
The work will be done in the
