MARQUAM BACK FROM EAST
TO RESUME LEGAL PRACTICE
Thomas A. Marquam, Republican
divisional committeeman, accompan
ied by Mrs. Marquam, arrived in
Nenana last night from an extensive
tour of the States. They are en
route to their home in Fairbanks,
where Mr. Marquam has a number
of castes awaiting his attention be
fore the district court.
Rusiness called Mr. Marquam to
Washington, D. C.. where a eon
i siderable portion of his time was
spent. From the capital he paid
visits to New York and others of
the big cities of the East, toured a
large portion of the Southern States,
passing through the Texas oilfields,
and coming North by way of Los
Angeles and the Pacific Coast citie3
of prominence. *
While i nthe East. Mr. Marquam
met Captain Street and the other
members of the famous Black Wolf
squadron who made the New York
i to-Nome-and-return flight in deHavi
j land bombing planes. Through the
good offices of Captain Street, Mr.
Marquam was twice taken on air
plane flights over the capital, and
he took several fine photographs
, from a high altitude.
In the course of his travels Mr.
Marquam met a great many former
Alaskans, the majority of whom ex
: pressed a desire to return to the
■ Northland, and many of them, in
the opinion of the Fairbanks at
torney, undoubtedly will do so.
Speaking of general conditions
I obtaining in the States, as regard
• working conditions and living costs,
Mr. Marquam said indications ap
peared to point to a return to nor
malcy, but rather slowly. Reduc
tions in the price of necessities are
not keeping pace with wage reduc
tions and are. therefore working a
hardship on the people generally.
A certain amount of unrest and
very considerable unemployment are
met with all over the States and a
large percentage of those out of
work are ex-service men. Condi
tions are worse in the East than on
the Pacific Coaft. And of the cities
visited on the coast, Mr. Marquam
found Los Angeles the most prosper
| ous, with no sign of hard times.
San Francisco is just about holding
■ its own. Portland is fairly prosper
ous and Seattle appears to have
been the hardest hit by the read
; justment.
Mr. Marquam says that Portland
has begun to advertise plans for a
world fair in 1925 and the an
nouncement is causing a lot of
comment in the East, where people
express the belief that the Western
city is crazy to talk of such a thing
at this time. The optimism of Port
land is more than they can under
; stand.
Mr. and Mrs. Marquam will leave
for Fairbanks tomorrow.

ROAD COMMISSION WILL PUT
SHORTCUT TRAIL IN SHAPE
Superintendent Hawley W. Sterl
ing, of the Alaska Road Commission,
who arrived in town last night from
a business trip to Juneau where he
conferred with Colonel Steese and|
Major Gotwals regarding the winter
work to be done on the roads and
trails in Interior Alaska, told a
representative of The News that a i
sufficient sum of money had been 1
allotted to be spent this winter, to j
put the trail from Xenana to the i
Knight roadhouse, on the Toklat.
in good shape' for travel. This w 11
include putting up two substantial
shelter tents at a point half way
along this trail, the exact spot to
be selected by him later on. The
work will be taken in hand immed
iately after the Christmas holidays.
In addition to this work, the Com
mission will build a bridge across
Piledriver slough, o nthe Fairbanks
\ aldez trail. The bridge w ill consist
of two 90-foot spans, the material
for which is already at Fairbanks, j
A trail also will be blazed into the j
Valdez Creek mining district from ]
Carlson's roadhouse. Mile 320, on j
the Government railroad.
The Alaska Road Commission is
rather short of funds to undertake1
winter work on an evtensive scale, i
due to the fact that considerable!
equipment, in the way of tractors. |
trucks, steam shovel and dragline
excavators were recently acquired, j
at a considerable cost, for road wor* .
druing the open seasons.
Mr. Sterling expects to leave for
his headquarters in Fairbanks on
Friday and will then organize the •
necessary forces and undertake the!
preliminaries in connection with the
work outlined.
LIMITED HELD UP
AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho. Nov.
10—The Oregon & Washington
Limited was held up by a lone ban
dit eight miles west of here last
night, and the passengers in the o’d- |

uables. The brakeman was instruct
ed to stop the train at Coolidge, a
small station, where an automobile
awaited the robber and in which he
made his escape easily.

FAIRBANKS CREEK WORKERS
ARE ENROUTE TO STATES
Among the outward-bound passen
gers on the train leaving Ner.ana;
yesterday morning were Carl Ander-'
son, D. W. Schlener, Frank Bass
ham and E. Stephenson who were,
during the past summer, members
of the crew of the big gold dredge j
operating on Fairbanks Creek.
The four men are enroute to the ‘
States by way of Anchorage, on
their annual pilgrimage, following'
the suspension of mining operations
cn Fairbanks Creek with the com
ing of cold weather. They expect to
be back on the dredge with the \
opening of navigation next spring, i
RAILROAD PICTURES ENJOYED
Show-goers of Nenana enjoyed a j
treat on Monday night at the Col
iseum where, in addition to the'
usual fine, five-reel picture, scenes j
depicting construction work on the j
Government railroad, mostly between '
Seward and Anchorage and on the.
Matanuska branch line, were thrown
On the screen. Farming scenes in
the Matanuska valley were also
shown, the whole thing being great
ly enjoyed by those who were there.
The feature film shown was one en
titled ‘'Dollars and Sense”, a good
story of life as lived sometimes in
the big cities.
FIRST CLASS MAIL ARRIVES
A shipment of 13 sacks of first'
class mail was received at the local J
postoffice on the train Striving last i
night and, as usual, was promptly j
distributed. This shipment arrived
a few days ago at Anchorage on
the steamer Northwestern.
There is a big demand at the
present time for dwellings, both
furnished and unfurnished. Watch
Nenana grow.
M. V. Tyler, assistant to Superin
tendent Karstens, of Mount McKin
ley National Park, left this morning
for Riley Creek, where he will be
located permanently hereafter.
It is reported from Juneau that
the Commercial club of that city
has taken steps to oppose the Fall
plan for giving the Interior depart- J
ment entire control over Alaskan |
affairs.
