THE NEW ERA
Events seem to be shaping and
everything seems to portend a great
wave of prosperity for the North
land. the main contributing factor
toward this most desirable state of
affairs being the completion of the
Government railroad, with all the
benefits it will bring in its train,
lierally.
The Campfire Club of America,
which counts among its members
the leading sportsmen and mountain
eers of the nation, is planning to
come to Alaska in force next sum
mer. for the laudable purpose of
dedicating one of the Northland's
greatest assets, the Mount McKin
ley National Park. The pilgrimage
of spoilsmen, which will number
several hundred at least, will come
to Alaska under the auspices of
The Brooklyn Eagle, and will in
clude in its personnel represent
atives of that influential newspaper,
as well as photographers, motion
picture men and lovers of the Great
Outdoors.
The Anchorage Times is authority
for the statement that Anchorage
has been asked to take steps to en
tertain the visitors, That all towns
along the route, in Alaska, have
been asked to prepare to receive
them, and that the proposed pil
grimage next summer may be char
acterized as “the vanguard of a
tremendous tourist traffic to the
park”. The Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce has been requested to
communicate with the Brooklyn
paper, giving information desire re
lative to hotel accommodations at
Anchorage and elsewhere along the
route, and the ability of Alaska
towns to care for such a crowd of
visitors as may be expected.
This, The News believes, is only
the thin edge of the wedge of pros
perity which will be driven into
Alaska with the opening of travel
between the coast and the Interior.
By reason of its close proximity to
the park. Nenana will benerit great
ly, and it is not too soon for the
commencement of preparations to
grasp the opportunities tfcat will be
presented for the advancement of,
the interests of the Interior region !
Changes will come rapidly and
Nenana should not be backward in
adjusting itself to the new condi
tions.

COUNCIL IS FUNCTIONING;
ORGANIZATION PERFECTED
After two months of preparatory
work, during which time the town
has been under practically no ex
pense aside from the maintenance ■
of a fire chief, the city council has
begun to function. At the meeting
of the aldermen held on Tuesday
night of this week, the organization
of the municipal family was com
pleted w'ith the appointment of a
permanent city clerk, magistrate, as
sessor and chief of police, and the
naming of committees to look after
the various departments of the city
and the council is now prepared
to cope with almost any situation
that may arise, from the enforce
ment of the dry law to the protec
tion of the public against adulter
ated and impure foods.
There were four applicants for
the position of city clerk, the list |
comprising J. G. K. Toussaint, C.
D. Lecicie, Dawson Cooper and J.
H. Day. The recent appointment of
Mr. Leckie as U. S. commissioner
was regarded as eliminating him as
a candidate, and, upon a vote being
taken upon the remaining three
names, Mr. Toussaint received a
majority of the votes and was de
clared to be the choice of the coun
cil, his salary for the three months
that he will serve under the pres
ent council being fixed at $100 for
his services as clerk, $300 for his
services as assessor and no com
pensation for serving the city as
magistrate, which will be a part
of his duties.
Allan A. Johnson, who was ap
pointed fire chief at a previous
meeting, has had imposed upon him
the addi.ional title of chief of po
lice, without additional salary.
The two officers, with Treasurer
Wm. Taylor, who was appointed at
a previous meeting, to serve with
out salary, appeared before U. S.
Commissioner R. S. McDonald yes
terday afternoon and were sworn in,
thus giving the city a complete
working organization.
The treasurer will be required to
give bonds in the sum of $-10,000
and the bonds of the clerk were
fixed at $2,000.
As a further step toward per
fecting the municipal organization.
Mayor Tom Smith announced the
appoir :ment of the following com
mittees, to serve until the term of
the present council ends in April.
FINANCE—Taylor. Cooney and
Coghill.
HEALTH and Relief—Cooney,
Taylor and Coghill.
FIRE-—Coghill, Taylor and Coon
ey.
LAW. UKDl.NA.NCt and CHIM
ING—South worth. Teufel and Berg
man.
STREETS—Teufel, Bergman and
Southworth.
POLICE—Bergman, Southworth
and Teufel.
The finance committee, in addition
:o its other duties, will act in a
consulting capacity with the man
agement of the public utilities. J
Bids for supplying the fire hall
with 15 cords of four-foot wood
were opened and the contract given
to J. W. Atkinson. There were ’tree
Venders, each quoting a price of $10
per cord.
The treasurer reported having re
ceived a check for $14 from the
clerk of the court, the amount rep
resenting the first of the federal
license money to be turned over to
the town.
The question of expediting the re
lease for sale of lots now held by
the Government, was brought up by
Councilman Bergman, and Townsrte
Manager Carl Schmidt, who was
present by invitation of the coun
cil, explained the present status
of town property and suggested
cteps that might be taken to bring
about the desired results. Action is
to be taken by the council immed
iately with a view to making it pos
sible for prospective purchasers to
acquire lots as desired.
Dog regulations also were discus
sed at some length, and it was in
timated that an ordinance would be
introduced at the next meeting to
abate the nuisance, of which there
appears to be considerable com
plaint.
The attention of the council was
called to the fact that teams arc
being driven across sidewalks, in
violation of one of the ordinances
passed by the council, and the chief
of police was instructed to put a
stop to the practice.
The police committee was in
structed to purchase a star for the
new- chief.
The street committee was in
structed to formulate regulations
for the installation of signs and it
is probable than an ordinance cov
ering riie matter will be presented
at an early meeting. The committee
was empowered to pass on all ques
tions of that character that arise
pending the passage of an ordi
! nance.
