SAILING SCHEDULES i
; FOR END OF SEASON
On inquiry at the office of the
A. Y. N. company this morning it
was ascertained that the steamer
Tanana, which is thought to have
two bargeloads of freight had
passed Tolovana on her way up to
Nenana and will probably arrive
early tomorrow morning.
The water in the Tanana river
rose slightly this morning, which
helped very considerably in the ef
forts made to get the barge Elk,
which was left by the steamer Alas
ka below the mouth of the Kan
tishna river, over the sand bar. The
Elk was safely got over the bar and
the steamer Reliance with this barge
in tow passed Tolovana on her way
to Nenana. She will probably ar
rive within a few hours of the
Tanana. The barge Elk has a large
quantity of heavy freight, consisting
of locomotives and flat cars, con
signed to the A. E. C.
The steamer Yukon, which is also
bringing up a bargeload of freight
for Nenana, was not reported on the
marine bulletin this morning. She
was only a short distance behind the
steamer Tanana, having left Tanann
a few hours after that vessel, and
she wil probably arrive here
sometime tomorow and may imme
diately be turned back to get an-1
other barge of freight from Tanana.
The steamers Julia B and Seattle
No. 3, with barges of freight for
Nenana. were reported this morning
as having passed Birches within a
few hours of each other; the Julia
B being slightly ahead of the Seattle
No. 3, and they will land their tows
in Tanana this evening. It is not
known definitely whether these
steamers will come up to Nenana
or leave their loads at Tanana to
be relayed by the steamers Tanana
and Yukon.
According to the present ar
rangements, which are subject to
change without notice, both the
Tanana and the Yukon will turn
back at Nenana and go on to Tanana
for another load of freight before

Carl Ross’ condition is reported

Gustaf Adolph Pearson, who sur
rendered his first naturalization
papers recently and claimed ex
emption from military service on
the ground that he is a subject of
a country neutral in the present
war, is said to be working on a >on
tract on the Government railroad.
The Council of Defense held a meet
ing regarding this man and have
taken the matter up with Mr. F. D.
Browne, engineer in charge of the
Fairbanks division. Pearson gave

smaller pieces of machinery and fix
tures were shipped on the steamer

machinery is consigned to R. E.

going out of commission for the
season. Every available berth on
the steamer Yukon has been taken
up, but a limited number of berths
are available on the steamer Tanana.
Should the Seattle No. 3 be sent
on to Nenana by any chance with
a barge of freight, she will not be
able to take a single passenger, as
her berths have all been taken for
lower river passengers who will join
her at Tanana.
The freight, mail and passenger
service between this port and Fair
banks will be performed by the
steamer Reliance, connecting at Ne
nana with the upper Yukon boats;
and as soon as she comes up from
the Kantishna mouth after helping
out the barge Elk, will probably pro
ceed immediately to Chena to take
on the upper river business from
Fairbanks.
All the arrangements made by the
A. Y. X. Co. governing the move
ments of their steamers is mainly for
the purpose of getting all the freight
which has been considerably delayed
this season, up to destination before
the freezeup and to allow of their
steamers and barges being put away
in winter quarters where they will
not suffer any damage when the
breakup occurs in the spring.
The stage of the water in the
Tanana river and weather conditions
from now on will, in a large meas
ure, dictate to the officials of the
A. Y. X. the best course to pursue,
with the landing of the freight and
the putting away of their floating
equipment before freezeup as the
main object in view. The arrange
ments made so far and the schedule
outlined are therefore liable to be
changed at any time, and absolute
reliance should not be placed on
them.
The company will certainly do the
best they possibly can and will, no
doubt, succeed in accomplishing thi-r
object, although this might mean
that several changes in the sailing
schedule will have to be made.
FRANK YOUNG, SR.
IS SERIOUSLY ILL ^
Late yesterday evening Mrs. Haw
ley Sterling received an urgent mess- e
age from Fairbanks intimating that •
her father, Frank Young, S’ had .
been taken suddenly ill and that
his condition was considered very
serious. Mrs. Sterling came to town
immediately after the receipt of
the message and left very early this
morning for Fairbanks on the launch
Flyer
Mr. Young was removed to the
St. Joseph’s hospital and it was
learned last night that he was rest
ing easy and no immediate danger
was apprehended.
From the meager reports received
regarding the nature of his illness, "
it was gathered that he was suffer- 3
ing from an internal hemorrage, /
which had weakened him consider
ably. Drs. McCallum and Suther
land were in attendance.
A telephone message received
late this afternoon stated that the
crisis had been passed and that Mr.
Young was out of danger and was
resting easy. He is still weak, how
ever, but will mend.
