The much-delayed cargo of Com-;
jmission repair parts and other sup-:
' plies, which -were abandoned by the
steamer Tanana at Hot Springs sev- i
era! weeks ago, when ice first ap
peared in the river, may yet reach'
Nenana. In fact, that portion of
the cargo which was picked up by
the steamer Shusana over a week
ago and cached at Tolovana, prob
ably is now enroute, and may be
here tomorrow.
Captain Smythe and members of
the crew who will man the Shusana
left Nenana on Saturday night in a
small boat, to take the Shusana out
of winter quarters and proceed up
stream with the cargo cached at
Tolovana. They reached Tolovana
yesterday afternoon at four o'clock,
and should have been ready to start
back by noon today. Whether thev
did or not could not be ascertained,
because the wires were working
badly.
When the Shusana first started
down river, there was little or no
ice in the stream. But by the time
the steamer had reached Hot Springs
and taken on part of the cargo of
the barge Elk. ice was running fair
ly heavy again and Captain Smythe
refused to proceed farther than
Tolovana on the return voyage. The
cargo was accordingly cached at that
point and the steamer placed in
winter quarters.
By the time the crew had return
ed to town, however, the weather
had moderated again, §nd within a
day or two the ice had disappeared
from the river, whereupon negotia
tions were reopened with the cap
tain, with the result that he is now
making a second attempt to get his
boat and its cargo to Xenana.

NAVY PLANNING
CONSTRUCTION OF
COAT BUNKERS
All that part of the Seward wa
iterfront from Monroe street on the
!north to Washington street on the;
■ south has been set aside by the j
lAlaskan Engineering commission for;
I coal docks for the United States;
navy.
Colonel Frederick Mears, chair
man of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, made the above state
ment regarding waterfront reserva
tions during his official visit to
Seward.
The reservation of the waterfront
above mentioned means that the
navy department can construct a
dock having a frontage of over 3,00'i
feet with slips running east and
west, if it so desires. The water is
deep enough along the reserve made
so that any ship, no matter how
large, can dock and receive coal.
With the navy coal docks situated
between Monroe and Washington,
the railroad tracks are adjacent and j
the bunkers can be easily reached
by an incline track or tracks.
N’o one knows just what the plans j
for the navy dock call for, but it is
evident that the docks will be as
large as any similar docks on the
Pacific coast.
It is understood from an unof
ficial source, says the Seward Gate
way, that engineers may visit Sew
ard within the next few weeks to
make a careful survey for proposed
docks, and it is even said that ma
terial for construction work may be
shipped to Seward during the win
ter months so that work can be
hastened as soon as piles are driven
for the concrete of which the docks
probably will be built next spring.

EAGLES INVITE
The Eagle? of Fairbanks have ex
tended a general invitation to the
dancers of N'enana to attend the
annual Thanksgiving ball, which will
be held at Fairbanks on Thanks
giving eve. Thanksgving is Eagle
day in Fairbanks, having been ap
propriated in the very early days as;
the big day of the year in Eagle
social circles. And every year since j
then has been observed by the up- j
town aerie with a most elaborate j
ball, the cost of the parties usually j
being much in excess of the re
ceipts.
Long before the date of the
dance, the rails on tly? Nenana
Fairbanks line will have been con
nected and trains will be making
regular trips between the two j
towns, thus making it possible for
residents of N'enana and Fairbanks
to travel back and forth in comfort
and at moderate cost. With the
problem of transportation solved, the
Fairbanks Eagles hope to be able to
induce a crowd of local dancers to
celebrate the day with them.
Details of the annual ball will be
arranged by a committee which was
