ELECT GEO. WOODS
George Woods, chosen at* the last
regular election of Xenana igloo,
No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska, as sec
ond vice-president, was elevated to
the presidency by the igloo last
night, to fill the vacancy caused by
the departure of President J. H.
Flower to the Koyukuk. Mr. Woods
is a regular attendant at meetings
of the igloo and is well qualified to
fill the office.
The members, of whom there were
quite a number present last night,
also had the pleasure of listening to
the reading of reports of grand igloo
proceedings, received in Xenana
i since the last meeting.
The next meeting of the igloo will
be held the first Monday in August.
Heimberger's Cascade Laundry has
just been renovated. Has sanitary
baths and furnishings. Shampooing
and electric drying a specialty.
Terms reasonable.
MAIL AT FAIRBANKS.
—
Five sacks of first class Outside
mail reached Fairbanks late last
night on a Gibson mail stage. Should
any of the shipment be for Nenana,
i it doubtless will be sent down river
on one of the launches leaving the
upper town tomorrow.
The steamer Yukon, scheduled to
reach Nenana on Wednesday, also
will have Outside mail. The boat
passed Hot Springs at seven this
morning.

LACK OF FUNDS
MAY HOLD BACK
The failure of Congress to appro
priate the additional funds requests
ed by the Alaskan Engineering com
mission has necessitated a rearrange
ment of plans in this and the coast
divisions of the government rail
road, and it seems probable at this
time that construction will be prose
cuted less vigorously than was an
ticipated earlier in the season. There
is no reason to believe, however,
that there will be a curtailment of
the w-ork this summer such as oc
curred earlier in the year. The re
arrangement affects new work con
templated rather than the work now
under way, so that the forces now
in the employ of the Commission
will not be disturbed beyond possi
ble transfer from one branch of
work to another as occasion re
quires. It is simply a case of not
being able to push the work so
hard as Chairman Edes had planned
in case ample funds to complete
the road immediately had been
placed at the disposal of the Com
mission. Much of the new work
outlined must now wait until Con
gress appropriates the additional
funds sought by Secretary Lane.
Instructions regarding the amount
of work possible under existing con
ditions were received from Wash
ington by Mr. Browne late last
week. They directed the immediate
suspension of reconstruction work
on the Tanana Valley railroad prop
er. and the temporary abandonment
of plans for the letting of new con
tracts elsewhere. And the limited
funds available may make necessary
also the cutting of requisitions for
materia] and supplies.
The reconstruction of the Tanana
Valley road was taken in hand early
in the season and several contrac
tors are now at work on that divi
sion. Just how the rearrangement
will affect them has not been dis
closed, but it is known that the
Tanana Valley plans in general have
been abandoned for the present.
The contractors on the Nenana
Fairbanks branch line will not be
disturbed, and there will be no cur
tailment of construction forces on
the north side of the Tanana river
under the new arrangement. It is
the plan of the commission to com
plete that section of the road, if
possible, before the end of the
present season, after which the work
of extending the rails toward the
coast will be resumed. With ample
funds, material and labor available
it would be possible to build in both
directions with equal speed.
The work of surfacing to the
south of N'enana will continue un
interrupted, probably until the end
of the season. This work is abso
lutely necessary and cannot be aban
doned without damage to the road
bed and the risk of interrupted
It is the intention of the Com- \
mission also to continue work on 1
the wagon road which is to connect ;
the ends of steel. This work, it is ;
understood, is to be rushed to com- !
pletion with all possible speed, so
as to facilitate railroad construction
south of Nenana when additional ■
funds become available. The work j
at present is confined co locating, ;
but it is expected that men will be ;
sent to the end of steel before verv i
long, to begin preparing the route
for traffic.
The location party now in the
field, beyond Lignite, is reported to
have made a good start under the
personal direction of Engineer in
Charge Fred’k D. Browne, who is
giving the surveyors the benefit of'
his previous observations in that I
locality. This party will run the
line for the wagon road and at
the same time locate the railroad
between Ligrnite and the summit,
where, it is expected, a party from
the Anchorage end will be met. Mr.
Browne has been with the party
from the start and probably will re
main in the field another week or
ten days.
A wagon road is a necessary ad-!
junct to a railroad in the course
of construction, but this particular
road will do more than assist the
railroad builders. It will stimulate
traffic between the coast and Ne
nana pending the completion of the ‘
railroad, and if the road is com
pleted in time, the coming winter
doubtless will find most of the travel '
diverted to the Nenana-Anchorage
route.
The Cascade laundry has plenty
of hot soft water at all times. New
bath rooms, fully equipped and san- !
itary, with special rooms for ladies.
You yet "abate with $2.50 laundry,
which applies on bath, or pay 50c
per bath.
As a result of the discovery of
699 beaver skins in the Tolovana
postoffice, consigned to Outside ad
dresses, Peter Vachon was placed
under arrest at Fairbanks late yes- '
terday afternoon, charged with “un
lawfully presenting to common car
rier, the postoffice department, for
transportation out of the territory,
beaver skins which were unlawfully
killed.” The arrest was made on a
warrant sworn to by Game Warden
Steve Foster, who, with Deputy Mar
shal James Hagan, found the furs
at Tolovana and accompanied them
to Fairbanks.
Vachon will be given a prelim
inary hearing Thursday morning be
fore Commissioner Reed Heilig. In
the meantime, he is at liberty on
his own recognizance.

In response to a telegraphic sum
mons, calling him to the bedside of
his aged mother, Harry Davis, of
the Terminal, will leave for the
coast this week, via Fairbanks, and
thence hasten with all possible speed
to his old home in Ottumwa, Iowa.
His plan is to reach Fairbanks in
time to catch the Friday stage to
Chitina.
The serious condition of Mr.
Davis’ mother is the result of a fall,
but otherwise little is known of the
accident beyond the fact that her
condition is alarming.
If circumstances will permit, Mr.
Davis will return to Nenana before
the close of navigation. He cannot
tell definitely when he will return,
however, until after he has arrived
in Iowa.
