The arrival this week of a large
number of Outsiders, by way of the
Yukon river route to the Interioi,
with many more on the Upper Yukon
who would make the “inland circle"
trip if they could secure traveling
accommodations, furnishes convinc
ing evidence that there is need of
passenger steamer connection at the
Nenana end of the Alaska Railroad.
When tourists, by the score, insist
upon making the trip down the
Yukon from Dawson under condi
tions now obtaining, involving the
hazards and inconveniences of motoi
boat and open barge transportation,
there is reason to believe that a
regular passenger steamer, properly
advertised, would be able to build
up a large and profitable business
carrying Outsiders between Dawsor.
and Nenana. both ways.
Stimulation of river travel also
would result naturally in providing
additional busines for the Alaska
Railroad. The tourist business this
year, to Atlin and Dawson, will beat
all previous records, it is expected,
but only a few of the visitors will
see Central Alaska for the simple:
reason that there are no boats to •
bring them to the railroad, except!
small and uncomfortable launches.1
The business has big possibilities
and is worth going after.
While The News is not sufficient
ly informed to enter into an intelli
gent discussion of the rail and coal
strikes, there is reason to believe
the great struggles between labor
and capital will go far toward put
ting the country on a normal basis
by the elimination of much of the
unrest which has taken firm grasp
on the country since the close of
the war.
R. S. Temme, genial manager of
the Empress theater at Anchorage,
arrived from the coast yesterday
on business connected with the Em
press circuit. He went to Fairbanks
this afternoon and will leave on
the return trip to the coast next
Tuesday.
Ed Laherty. well known oldtimer
of the Interior who had the mis
fortune to freeze his hands and feet
last winter in the Talkeetna dis
trict. followed by amputation at the
Anchorage hospital, went to the
Pioneer home at Sitka recently, and
will be cared for there by the Ter
ritory.

LONG CREEK DISCOVERER
MAKING TRIP TO STATES
Among the recent arrivals in town
from the lower Yukon country, eE
route to the States, is N. P. John
son. a well known oldtime prospect
or and miner who has earned for
himself the enviable reputation of
being- a sticker in the prospecting
game, undeterred by reverses cau
culated to discourage the average
man, and this quality and the ac
cidental discovery of float as the
incentive, ,-nabled him to locate the
paystreak or. Long creek, in the
Ruby district, of which he has the
distinction of being the original dis
coverer. A great many prospectors
and miners were later able to bene
fit by his find, resulting in the pro
duction of a large amount of gold
in that locality.
Mr. Johnson has been in Alaska
for a score of years or more and
during the last three years has been
prospecting in the Xovikaket. a
tributary of the Yukon river a short
distance below Ruby. He is pros- -
pecting in this region in partnership
with Bob Deacon.
The oldtimer owns a ranch in the
Yakima valley, which is being look
ed after for him by his brother
and sister, and he is now on his
way to visit them.
Last winter he discovered new
pay on Bear Pup, in the Ruby dis
trict and his present trip to the
States is partly for the purpose of
purchasing a hydraulic outfit with
which he intends to develop his
discovery.
As a result of the special election
held on Thursday on the question of
municipal ownership of public utilit
ies, the council already has received
a number of applications for posi
tions as engineers and firemen. No
applications will be considered, how-'
ever, until definite plans have been
made for the acquisition of a light
plant.

NOTARY PUBLIC
NENANA VOTERS IN FAVOR
OF ACQUIRING UTILITIES
The special election held in Ne
nana on Thursday for the purpose
of ascertaining the views of voters
on the question of municipal own
ership of public utilities, resulted
in the expression of a very decisive
sentiment in favor of the proposi
tion. only eight votes bein cast
against the question at issue. The
total number voting, however, indi
cated a lack of interest on the part
of those entitled to vote, only 83
going to the polls to register their
preference.
The result of the election will be
communicated to Col. Mears immed
iately in order that no time may be
lost in formulating plans for the
acquisition and installation of a
power plant to be owned and oper
ated by the city. Col. Mears has
already offered to provide such a
plant, set up and ready for operation
for a small initial payment, the re
mainder of the cost to be paid an
nually ip easy instalments.
The members of the council will
endeavor to arrive at a definite
plan shortly, and the public will be
kept fully informed regarding the
progress made.
Fr. Monroe came down from hi=
headquarters in Fairbanks yesterday
and will officiate at mass at the locai
Catholic church tomorrow morning
at ten o’clock, followed by Sunday
school. He will return to the uppei
town on Monday.
