SEATTLE REPORT SAYS BAIN
FINDS MATANUSKA IS LEMON
A Seattle report sent to several
papers on the Alaska coast says the
Post-Intelligencer, under date of
June 3, published a special cable
from Anchorage, reading, in part
as follows:
“Dr. Bain spoke before the An
chorage Chamber of Commerce, af
ter his visit to and inspection of the
I Matanuska coal fields along the line
of the Government railroad, an:
here is what he said: ‘There is not
i enough coal in the Matanuska coa
| fields to justify consideration oi
i shipments of coal to the Pacific
I Coast markets. * * * * The Govern
\ ment railroad must depend for it
! success on the development of the
tourist travel, and on a gradua
growth of small industries' "
As already stated in the column;
| of The News, Dr. Bain was vert
| favorably impressed by what he sau
; in the Xenana coal field. He admit
i ted that he had never before seet
1 anything so big in the coal line a.
i the great seams which are being de
! veloped by the Healv River Coa
! Corporation and he expressed the
belief that the output of coa! there
would soon be such as to be oi
material benefit to the various dis
tricts of Interior Alaska, supplant
' ;ng wood as fuel wherever coa! car
: be delivered at moderate cost.

M. W. Diedrick. manager of the
- Alaska Beverage Company, of Fair

week, having made the trip for the
purpose of getting acquainted with
local business men and stimulating

tablishment. Mr. Diedrick only re
cently assumed charge of the Fair

I IF THEY WANT CITY PLANT
A special election will be held in
N'enana next month, at which time
the voters of the city will be given
the opportunity to express their
wishes with regard to the proposition
; of owning a municipal light and
water plant. The election is neces
sary because the city council has
not the power to obligate the tax
payers without their consent.
The decision to cal! an election ^
was reached by the members of the ,
, city council at a regular meeting.
held on Tuesday night. Some time
ago, Col. F. Mears. head of the
Alaska Railroad, informed the city
aldermen that the railroad organiza
tion woulJ install an up to date
plant for the city and accept re
imbursement for it on the in=talment
plan, with an initial payment of
$5,000.
The plan of the council, if the
proposition receives the approval of
the voters, is to make the initial
payment from funds derived from
regular taxation next year, and it
is expected that the revenues from
the operation of the plant will take
care of the payments after that.
Col. Mears has informed the coun
cil that he will send engineers to
N'enana to make a study of the
power requirements of the city, with
a view to the installation of a plant
best suited to the needs. It is esti
' mated that a suitable outfit will (
! cost approximately $25,000 and it
is hoped to have the plant installed
and in working order before the !
. first of the coming year.

LOWER RIVER CAMP BUSY
WITH SUMMER ACTIVITIES
Jos. H. Smith, of the Smith Gur.
and Hardware store, of Fairbanks,
arrived in Xenana this week from
the Iditarod district, where he spent
several weeks looking after assess
ment work on properties in which
he is interested. He arrived on
Tuesday and left for his home in
the upper town today.
Mr. Smith says the gold output of
the Iditarod will be as much or per
haps a trifle greater this year than
that of last season. The dredges of
the Riley Investment Company, and
of Beaton & Donelly are working
full crews and there is also consid
erable activity on the placer claims
jin the neighborhood of Flat and
: tributaries. Jack Warren and as- j
sociates have discovered a good j;
quartz prospect on Glen gulch, op-1
posite discovery on Otter creek and
they have several men working on
development.
Ira Wood, well known freighter,
has purchased the steamer St. Jos
eph which, with Guy Lamont in
charge, is now being operated be
tween Holy Cross and Iditarod, in ;
' connection with the several gas ■
boats owned by Wood.
According to advices received at j
Iditarod recently, the placer de- {
posits along the Kuskokwim and its j
tributaries are showing up favorably !
and considerable activity is expect
ed in that section of the country. !
As an indication of the present j
population of Flat, it is stated that i
125 votes were cast at the school
election held in April.
