REX BEACH CHARACTER IS
GIVING HYDER ONCE OVER
—
Thomas Fournier, lover of a life
of romance and adventure, and gen
erally considered the original of
Poleon Doret, one of the main
characters in Rex Beach’s “The
Barrier", and other stories by that
popular writer, is now employed on
a tractor at the Premier mine, in the
Hyder district, having recently re
turned from a visit to his home in
Montreal, according to Joe Ulmer,
I who recently returned to Ketchi
kan from a visit along Portland
' canal.
i Tom Fournier is a pioneer of the
Koyukuk and the Yukon country
and is well known in the Interior,
and among the pioneers of the
i North.
j In the early days a man by the
name of Fournier was hanged at
Dawson for murder, together with
| a companion named La Belle. A
neighbor informed Tom Fournier’s
relatives in Canada that he was the ,
man the Dawson authorities exe- '
cuted. And when Tom returned to
his home fifteen years later it was
as if he had stepped out of the
grave, for he had been given up as '
dead all throughout the interven-'
ing time.
Norvin E. Smith, Jr., celebrated

The News is in receipt of a tele- |
gram from Delegate Dan Suther-,
land in which he says “the depart- j
ment does not contemplate chang- >
ing the Nenana postoffice”. The wire
was in reply to a message sent to
the delegate informing him that a
petition had been forwarded to the
department protesting against the
suggested removal of the postoffice
to a building on the railroad reserve,
outside the limits of the town.

A civil action, entitled Cadzaw vs.
White, was tried before Judge Bun
nell and a jury yesterday, the suit
ending in a verdict in favor of the 1
defendant. The suit involved the'
sum of $1,200. The case originated
at Fort Yukon.
Suppose a banker would agree to
place $2,000 to the credit of a
man’s family, issued a pass book to
the family and agreed to let them
check out the full amount if the ;
man died at any time during the'
next twenty jysars, provided he
would deposit in the bank $100
every year; with the further guaran-'
tee-that should the man live to the
expiration of the period, the banker j
would allow HIM to check out the
money, and, in addition thereto, al-:
low him the interest earned on this '
class of deposits. Wouldn’t that be
a pretty good proposition? It would, ■
but no banker could safely make
tiie offer—yet, that is in effect the
offer the New York Life Insurance
Company makes. See R. S. McDon- (
aid, local agent. '
CUMMINS WANTS CIVILIANS
TO FINISH ALASKA RAILWAY
The report of threatened changes
in the personnel of the Alaskan En
gineering commission, which caused
depression at Anchorage and ela
tion at Seward, came from Washing
ton, D. C., and reads as follows:
“Cummins, chairman of interstate
commerce committee, concerning
himself in the Government’s rail
road building in Alaska, just con
cluded a series of conferences with
Secretary Fall, in which the sen
ator urged on th secretary the poli
cies of elimination of the army from
any connection with the railroad,
specificically meaning the removal of
Mears as chairman of the road; the
establishment of civilian control by
appointment of men and a manager
for the property to complete the
railroad and operate it; appropria
tion of ten million dollars to com
plete the road; establishment of a
Government line of steamships to
ply between Seward and Seattle in
connection with the railroad, pro
viding passenger traffic and freight
sufficiently low to develop traffic
and to permit tthe territory to ac
quire its needed growth in popula
tion. Cummins told Fall that high
water transportation rates are the
direct cause of the territory’s loss
of population in the last ten years.
The senator said further that ac
cording to his information the ex
isting steamship lines to Alaska are
controlled by the copper interests.
Cummins is in favor of continued
Government operation of both the
railroad and the steamship lines.
Fall is much impressed with the
arguments presented and indicated
that he would give the entire prob
lem his immediate attention.
