A. Y. N. Liner Comes Into Port
With Mail, Freight and Pasengers
and Sails for Fairbanks.
The American Yukon Navigation
company’s liner Alaska arrived at
half past eight o’clock this morning
with the mail, about 45 tons of
freight and nine passengers for Ne
nana.
She had the barges Carmacks and
Muskrat in tow. The Carmacks has
a load of 110 head of cattle for
Waechter Brothers, and some of the
parts of the new Bucyrus caterpillar
steam shovel, consigned to the Alas
kan Engineering commission, and
the Muskrat’s freight was principally
composed of the heavy steel parts
of the new dredge for Fairbanks
creek.
The passengers disembarking here
were Mrs. E. B. Hunt, Miss Roun
tree, F. E. Wolfe. Wm. Vanderbloss,
Olive Webb, John Edis, G. B. Poin«
dexter A. M. Hemway and C. H.
Shade.
! The passengers in transit were

•* IDITAROD NOTES •»
* »?
There appears to have been a great
exodus of the people from the town
and at the time the court party left
the district there were said to be
only about 150 people in the town of
Iditarod. There would appear to be
no scarcity of labor in the district
and there is much work being done
in the mining districts of Otter,
Flat and the streams tributary to
Otter.
The dredge owned and operated
i by Beaton and Donnely is going
ahead very satsifactorily on Dis
covery Otter.
The Rjley dredge, operated by the
late George Riley estate, is work
ing a full crew under the direct sup
ervision of Captain Si. Atwell.
1 _
The Guggenheim dredge is at pres
ent time near the edge of Flat
City and the work blocked out for
this dredge for the season will take
the dredge through part of the
town.
Flat creek, clear to its mouth, has
been almost vvorked out and now
presents the appearance of one huge
pile of dredge tailings.
—
The saddle at the head of Flat
creek is the scene of great activity,
and several outfits are working in
the neighborhood. The Upgrade
| Association (Dave Stranburp) :s
working a big crew of men on the
Flat slope of the saddle.
There is a lot of ground-sluicing
going on in the neighborhood of the
town of Discovery, situated on old
Discovery on Otter creek, about two
miles from Flat
l _
The outlook for a good gold out
i put from this camp seems to be
! pretty good.
| Mrs. Roy Rutherford is reported
to have reached Tanana, from the
j Outside. After being joined by her
' mother, Mrs. Rutherford will come
up river to Fairbanks, her former
home.

The Burgess auto stage arrived
yesterday with H. E. Curie as pass

engineer, lately in the employ of the
Copper River & Northwestern rail
road and expects to go to Nenana
to work on the Government railroad
in the same capacity.
John Randall Dunn, of St. Louis,
a prominent Christian Scientist, is
expected to arrive in Fairbanks i

Christian Science wil1 be delivered
by Mr. Dunn some time after the ar
rival of the steamer and arrange
ments have already been made for
the event.
A baby girl, weighing nine pounds

Thompson, of the News-Miner. The
mother and daughter are reported to
be doing fine.
Intermittent showers of rain have
been experienced for the past two
days.
The town is very quiet and the
streets present a deserted appear

kind going on around town.
COMMISSION IS
BOOSTING SCALE
ON COAST WORK
ANCHORAGE.—Work is available
on the government railroad for all
that want it and at wages higher
than have ever been paid in the his
tory of the construction of the line,
declares William Gerig, engineeer in
charge of the Anchorage division.
Since the passage by congress early
in June of the Sundry Civil appro
priation bill, containing an item for
$5,250,000 for continuing this sea
son the building of the government
transportation system, construction
gangs, on a wage basis, have been
increased in number and contracts,
on an acreage or yardage basis, have
been let for clearing and grading
sections of the route. Construction
foremen are calilng in vain for more I
wage laborers and higher officials!
of the railroad have at their disposal j
more work of a contract nature—
station work, it is called—than there
are applicant contractors
The minimum wage for laborers
has ben 50 cents an hour. Compen
sation for clearing and grading con
tract work, although it is on an
acreage or yardage basis, cannot be
less than if the task were on a wage
basis, for if the results show that
the contractors figured lower than
I this basis then the minimum wage
is paid them for completed work.
The Alaskan Engineering commis
i sion, which has charge of the build
ing of the railroad, has just,stated
(through Mr. Gerig that it is engaged
in revising the wage scale. The new
scale, details of wh&fe ate expected
to be announced in the near future,
will be retroactive in that it will
be made effective from Joly 1.

GERMAN RACECOURSE \
DRAWS BIG CROWDS
! -
AMSTERDAM—Twenty thousand
persons fought their way into the
trains to and from the Grunewald
i racecourse outside Berlin at the great
races recently. The newspapers con
tain long acocunts of the scramble
for places in the trains and for ad-^
missn.i to the racetrack. Many of
those who succeeded in forcing their
way through the crowds found their
clothing torn and their bodies bruis
ed. The newspapers sharply critic
ize the railway authorities and the
j management of the Jockey Club, de
claring that as the government per
1 mits racing, it should seee that ade
i uate facilities are provided.
