LATE VISITOR DESCRIBES
CONDITIONS IN OIL FIELDS
Ed Lawson, who returned to Sew.
recently from a trip to the Cold Bay
district, says that at present there
are a number of idle men there,
working conditions not demanding
their services. At present there are
between 250 and 300 men in the
district.
The town of Kanatak is composed
of 23 business places and a number
of small dwelling cabins and houses.
Two eating places cator to the pub
lic needs as does a hotel and bunk
house. Meals are priced at $1.25
each, bunks and beds commanding
the same figure.
The oil fields are located about
20 miles from the town proper and
all the men that are needed are at
work, the remainder of the popu
lation being idle with nothing m
sight.
Conditions are such that drilling
operations will not start until a
bout March Is: next year. Road con
struction is one of the hardest
propositions with which the com
panies have to contend; corduroy
work being necessary in order to
have a good foundation and timber
is exceedingly scarce.
Nearly all locations in the east
and west fields are taken up. the
extent of the former being about
ten miles by fifty, that of the west
field being nearly thirty miles
square.
During Mr. Lawson's stay in the
oil town bad weather was the rule,
gales of wind and '.ain being the
daily program. Kanatak can boast
of being the windiest town in all
Alaska, even the severest winds in
Seward being a summer breeze in
comparison.
The prospects of a busy town be
ing established are very good at
the present time for a working man
to locate there.
The main drawback to rapid dev
elopment of Kanatak is the pre
sent landing facilities—it being nec
essary to lighter freight in from a
a distance of about a mile; light
erage charges being ten dollars a
ton for freight and ten dollars per
thousand feet for lumber. In addi
tion to the lighterage charges five
dollars more must be paid to have
the material or goods hauled up
from the beach line to the town,
a distance of not to exceed one
quarter of a mile. The total cost
per ton or thousand feet of lum
ber comes to $29.50 from Seward
to the oil town. Passengers are
charged three dollar^ for ferry
service, boat to shore.
On account of the storms pre
vailing the steamer Starr was com
pelled to bring about ten tons back
to Seward not being able to land
it on the beach.
In the Opion of experienced oil
men now at Kanatak the town has.
a good future. One who has been
actively engaged in the development
of six oil fields, stated that the re
gion looked as promising as any he
had been in. Developments will de
termine the future of Kanatak and
until that time it is advisable foi
working men to remain away unless
they are assured employment.
The Chinese are the only people
on earth who eat no cheese.

ALF EKELAND, Prop.
ANDERON BROS. & NERLAND
SELL OUT TO N. C. COMPANY
The biggest and most important
business deal in the history of Ne
nana was consumated this afternoon
when the Northern Commercial Com
pany of Alaska concluded the pur
chase of the business and property
of the firm of Anderson Bros. &
Norland, on A street, and an adjoin
ing lot from Mike Goonen. The deal
means that the firm of Anderson
Bros. & Nerland will retire from
business in Nenana and that the
N. C. Co. will occupy the acquired
property, abandoning their present
location on Market street.
The Anderson Bros. & Nerland
store will be closed immediately and
inventory taken of the stock. In the
spring the N. C. building will be
moved from its present location to
the A street corner, which is con
ceded to be one of the best busi
ness locations in Nenana. The build
ing now occupied by Anderson Bros.
& Nerland will be moved on to the
Goor.en lot. adjoining the North
Star restaurant, «o that all three
of the lots will be occupied by the
big company.
The change, in addition to being
advantageous from a business view
point, will greatly improve the ap
pearance of the main business sec- j
tion of town. And incidentally, the ’
action of the company indicates that
it has confidence in the future of
Nenana. i
