CY CALDERHEAD PASSES;
EXAM WITH HIGH HONOR
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Calderhead,
of Xenana, have been advised by
Delegate Dan Sutherland that their
son Cy has successfully passed his
examinations in Maryland and will
enter Annapolis next month.
Young Calderhead achieved high
honor in athletics in the preparatory

ment was made, and to Mr. and

KANTISHNA OLDTIMER DEAD
VALUABLE FUR CATCH GONE
John Henry Bock, a well known
oldtimer of the Interior country,
was found dead recently in the Kan
tishna district, and a nurpber of furs
representing considerable value, are
reported to have been removed -from
his cabin. It is not known, however,
that the disappearance of the fur
and the death of the oldtimer are
connected in any way, although
there is sufficient mystery involved
to warrant an investigation by the
federal authorities and it is expected
that a party of officials headed by
Assistant District Attorney E. B.
Collins, will arrive in Xenana to
day, enroute to the Kantishna from
Fairbanks. They are making the trip
on the Moody launch, and it is pos
sible that both Deputy Marshal
James Hagan and Game Warden J.
M. Burrows will join the party here.
Bock, who was engaged in trap
ping and prospecting in the Lake
Minchumina district, above Roose
velt, was found dead on the bank
of Mud river shortly before the
breakup, the discovery having been
made by an Indian. Upon arrival of
the federal officials an inquest will
be held to determine the cause of
death.
LABOR IS SCARCE
A freight train left Seward this
week for the north, having on board
thirty men for distribution at the
various sections between Seward
and Anchorage.
Men who recently arrived from
the states say that there is a scarcity
of labor along the Pacific coast and
much difficulty is had in securing
enough men to come north.
COAL SHIPPED TO KATALLA
The gas boat Pioneer took 10d
tons of Healy coal from Hoben
and Davis to Seward, this week con
signed to Katalla, where it will be
given a try-out. If it meets with
popular favor the Pioneer will make
regular trips to Seward for coal.
EDITOR WILCOX ILL
News received'from Valdez is to
the effect that Editor Chas. Wilcox
of the Valdez Miner is ill with in
fection of the eyes, nose and throat,
caused presumably from an attack
of influenza.
George C. Hazelet, prominent bus
iness man of Cordova and concern
ed in oil producing activities in the
Katalla fields, who some weeks ago
underwent an operation for rup
tured appendix in a New York hos
pital, is on the road to complete
recovery, according to advices re
ceived by Seattle friends. The op
eration was of such a serious na
ture that grave doubts were enter
tained as to the outcome.
Fred Major has sold his green
house and residence property on
First street to Tom Jones and will

“Deacon” Jones, veteran engineer
of the Northern division of the Al
aska Railroad, returned from Anch
orage this week.
STEAMER JACOBS LAUNCHED
WILL SAIL NEXT WEDNESDAY
The steamer General Jacobs j
which, with the General Davis, will
ply between Nenana and Holy Cross ^
on the lower Yukon river, in con- j
nection with the Alaska Railroad,
was launched at the local shipyards
on Thursday and is now being made
ready for the first sailing for Holy
Cross, the date of departure having
been set for next Wednesday.
Superintendent Harry Watson, in
charge of the water end of the Gov
ernment transportation system, an
nounces that Wednesday will be a
big day in local transportation cir-.
cles inasmuch as the departure
of the General Jacobs will mark the
inauguration of a service entirely
new to the lower Yukon country and
one which promises a great improve
ment over any service of previous
years. Connection with the Alaska
Railroad at Nenana makes it possible
to lengthen the season of wa
ter transportation considerably and
the sailings from Nenana will be
frequent and regular.
Another event scheduled for Wed
nesday is the launching of the
steamer General Davis which will
operate on the lower Yukon with
the Jacobs. Both boats have been
thoroughly overhauled and now pre
sent a most attractive appearance
in new paint and furnishings.
The Jacobs will have several
barges in tow on the initial voyage
flown river. A large quantity of
freight has reached Nenana for re
shipment to Iditarod and other low
er Yukon points and it is expected
the two steamers will be kept busy
throughout the season. It is possible
several thousand tons of Nenana
coal will be shipped to Nome during
the summer.
Superintendent Watson says the
two boats probably will operate on
a weekly schedule, sailing from Ne
nana every Wednesday. It is also
probable that Col. Jas. G. Steese,
chairman-and chief engineer of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission,
and Col. John C. Gotwals. assistant
chairman, wi'l arrive from the coast
on Tuesday to be present at the
launching of the Davis and the in
auguration of the lower river ser
vice by the Jacobs.
S. N. Beatty, well known oldtim
er of the Interior who was connect
ed with the Alaska Railroad in and
about Nenana for several years, is
now engaged in the hotel business
in Anchorage, having recently ta
ken over the hotel in that city. Sam
writes The News that he expected
to be called to Nenana after the
breakup to collect the big ice • pool
but inasmuch as he was not able to
connect with the money his plans
for visiting Nenana were abandoned.
Oldtimers visiting Anchorage will
find Sam and his hotel ready to
welcome them.
J. C. McBride, collector of cus
toms for Alaska, made an official
trip to Prince Rupert and Hyder re
cently and returned to Juneau en
thusiastic over the outlook of the
Portland Canal mining district. On
the showing that has been made on
Portland Canal, if they were re
moved to Montana he thinks they
would mean a city of thousands of
people.
Thaggard Buchholz sailed with the
X. C. mail launch fleet Thursday
night and will spend the summer on
; the lower Yukon between Holy Cross
and St. Michael.
