Peter Steil, Correspondent
'---j
The Presidential train arrived
here from Nenana shortly before
nine o’clock Sunday night and the
President and his party were greet
ed at the depot by the members of
the Commercial club committee and
Mayor T. A. Marquam. and driven
across the bridge, between two lines
of children who waved tiny American
flags as the President was driven
slowly into town. After a short
drive about the city, which includ
ed a visit to the Rickert ranch, the
President and Mrs. Harding were
escorted to the new Nordale hotel,
where they spent the night, while
the others of the party remained a
board the train.
Mrs. Harding was not permitted
to leave her apartments yesterday,
as the result of having overtaxed
her strength the previous day, but
the President was kept busy through
out the day and up until the time of
the departure of the train late in
the afternoon, when the party turn
ed their faces southward and started
on their return journey to the coast
over the Alaska Railroad, after hav
ing spent nearly twenty-four hours
in Fairbanks.
Both the chief executive and Mrs.,
Harding left Fairbanks greatly im
pressed by the agricultural and min
ing industry of which Fairbanks is
the center but disappointment at
not being able to travel over the
Richardson trail as originally plan
ned. The President only gave up
the trail trip when Mrs. Harding
showed the effects of too much
hospitality on the part of Alas
kans. Her strength also had been
heavily taxed by the long hours
of daylight and the short periods
of rest. The dissappointment of the
executive was made the keener by
recognition of the elaborate pre
parations made along the trail by
the Alaska Road Commission and
owners of roadhouses where the vis
itors were to have stopped.
Secretary Wallace. Chief Forester
Greeley. Speaker Gillett. H. M.
Bain and several others of the
Presidential party left Fairbanks
shortly after noon yesterday, headed
for Valdez, where they will rejoin
the party for the return trip to
the States.
Tha President was to have made
a trip to the creeks last nigh: to
witness a cleanup, the plan being
later to take dinner at the Summit
roadhouse, where Waiter Preston
had made great preparations to
serve the distinguished visitors. But ■
that feature of the visit had to be
eliminated, owing to the condition
of Mrs. Harding.
The President addressed the peo
ple of Fairbanks at the ball park
yesterday afternoon but the hand
shaking was deferred ifhtil later, in
front of the Masonic temple. The
Presidential party were the guests
of the Masons at a banquet held at
the temple during the latter part
of the Afternoon.
The program at the park includ
ed an auto race, ball game between
Fairbanks- and Nenana and aerial
stunts by Aviator Eileson. Bob Shel
don won the auto race and Joe
Enos was severely bruised when his
car turned turtle. He was rendered j
unconscious but is resting easily at
the hospital today.
The Nenana ball boys were de
feated in the opening game at the
park Sunday night, the score being
9 to 0, but in the second game'
yesterday, the visiting team were
victorious, defeating the locals by
a score of 9 to 3.
The weather was extremely warm
during the time the park program
was in progress. Hilda Bloom was
prostrated by the beat and Margar- .
et Carlsten almost collapsed before
she could be carried from the stand.
Willie Snodgras also had to be j
moved to cooler surroundings. The
President was compelled to mop his j
brow frequently during the time he j
was speaking and he referred to;
the heat as being quite different
from what he had been led to be
lieve he would find in Alaska.
The Pioneer Women and ladies
of Fairbanks generally were not a
little disappointed and much grieved
when it was announced that they
would not be able to entertain Mrs.
Harding in the manner they had
planned. But Mrs. Harding was on
the platform to say good-bye to
them and to regret that she had
not been able to see more of ‘ them
The abandonment of the trail
trip proved a keen disappointment
to Captain Parsons, of the Signal
Corps, who had equipped an auto
truck to keep the President supplied
with world news during his journey
to Chitina. The ^captain returned to
the coast by rail with the Presi
dential party, and the truck will
be shipped back to the coast with
out having been put to the use in
tended.
The President and Mrs. Harding
were presented with a number of
gifts during their stay in Fairbanks
the principal one being a collar of
moosehide decorated with nuggets
and old native ivory. The collar was
intended for Laddie Boy. the pet
dog of the President and Mrs.
Harding, and the presentation vis
ibly affected the executive.
Secretaries Work and Hoover held
a public hearing at the courthouse
yesterday morning. Robert S. Don
aldson and John A. Clark informed
Secretary Work regarding the coal
situation in the Fairbanks district
resulting from the suspension of
mining at Suntrana which was made
necessary on account of the inabil
ity of the Healy River Coal Com-1
pany to make shipments over the
damaged spur line near Healy. Col.
Steese explained that the cost of
repairing the coal spur bridge, which
was partially destroyed by the re
cent freshet, would be approximat ■-j
ly $18,000 and that he was not in
clined to authorize that outlay un- j
til the coming of cold weather. '•
l
owing to the danger of another
freshet during the summer months.
N'o definite decision was reached at
the hearing but Fairbanksans are j
hoping that relief will be given j
immediately.
Mayor Marquam brought up the
question of Government ownership
and after some little discussion.
Secretary Work asked the mayor
if he favored a central government
which woudd permit Alaskans to
govern themselves in connection
with the national administration, to
which the mayor replied that he was
not prepared to answer at this time.
The Indian question was also
brought up by Mayor Msrquam and
discussed by him ard Dr. de la
Vergne. The central power plant
was discussed as w°re also the
mining laws, it being suggested
that mine owners be;ng given the
option of doing assessment work
or paying the equivalent in cash,
the money to be ustd in road im
provements.
Other matters of it terest to the
Interior were discussed but the sec
retaries expressed themselves as be
ing pleased with the meeting, and:
intimated that relief might be ex- j
peeted along some of the line- sug- \
gested.
Personal
Delegate Dan Sutherland, who!
joined the Presidential party at ,
Metlakatla, traveled only as far as.
Seward with the visitors.
Dr. Tigart, of the Bureau of ed
ucation, joined the Presidential
party on the coast and made the
round trip to the Interior with
them.
The steamer Northwestern, north
bound from Seattle, was at Ketchi
kan yesterday afternoon.
J. H. Scott, who left for the low
er Tanana river several day ago in
a small boat, returned to Nenana
today aboard the steamer Alaska.

Representative Dan Callahan was
a dinner guest of the newspapermen
aboard the Presidential - train dur
ing the stay of the Presidential
train in Fairbanks. Dan and his big
nugget chain made quite a hit with
the chechaeo scribes and they went
away well filled with the oldtimer’s
home brewed tales of the Northland.
Among thos leaving .for Nenana
and the coast on the regular train
today were: Marsha! G. B. Stevens,
C. E. Ousley, Dawson Cooper, W.
L. Rowe, A. M. Griffin, Mrs. Borg
and daughter, Margaret, Dr. E. Ol
ive White, Mrs. J. H. Crawford.
G. E. Weber and wife, Ella J. O’
Connor, C. Wolcott.
The only disappointing feature
of the President’s visit in Nenana
was the absence from town of Pio
neer Steve O’Neill, who would have
found supreme pleasure in such an
occasion.
Dr. J. H. Romig
Has arranged to come to N'enaaa
every Tuesday in connection with his
professional duties. He will come
down from Fairbanks on the regular
train Tuesday morning and return
to the upper town on the afternoon
train, which will give him more than
five hours in Nenana.
