O. M. JACKSON
ALF EKELAND
!
i Joe Kelly, oldtime merchant and
fur dealer of Ketchikan and Juneau,
arrived in Xenana last evening from
the coast, having made the trip in
by dog team by way of Broad Pass.
He was six days on the trail from
Talkeetna to Xenana. completing the
last leg of the journey on the Gov
ernment railroad. The visitor is on
a tour of the Interior country, to
look over conditions generally and
to pick up such furs as he may be
able to find along the Interior trails.
He will take the train to Durbar's
tomorrow and hit the trail at that
point for Tar.ana and Yukon met
points, returning to the coast by
way of Circle and Fairbanks.
Mr. Kelly likes Ketchikan, " in
which city he conducts a general
store and enjoys a large trade. He
believes the First City of the Ter
ritory has a bright future and say?
it already has the reputation of
being the livest place on the coast,
with a winter population estimated
at from 2,500 to 3,000, and a sum
mer population of fully three times
that number. The fishing industry,
which is the town’s principal asset,
is growing steadily, and there is,
in addition, considerable mining ac
tivity in the neighborhood. Ketchi
kan also controls must of the Port
land canal trade and practically all
of the travel to and from that dis
trict goes by way of Ketchikan.
Labor conditions at Ketchikan,
which were somewhat upset by the
radical element in the Ketchikan
union, had become normal before
Mr. Kelly started for the Interior,
and it is his opinion that no further
trouble will occur.
High wages is attributed by Mr.
Kelly as one of the reasons for
Ketchil r' prosperity. Many of the
workers, he says, get $6 for an
eight-hour day. and some of the
skilled labor, including carpenters,
is paid at the rate of $1 an hour,
with double pay for overtime. The
visitor expressed surprise at the
low wages paid by the Government
to railroad workers, and said he
could understand, after he had
reached the Interior, why he had
met so many men on the trail, out
■ ward-bound.

TRUSTEES SEEK
FEDERAL AID TO
ENFORCE LAWS
—
The chief business before the j
meeting of the town trustees held :
last night at the townsite office was j
the consideration of plans for the j
enforcement of such ordinances as i
j
may be passed by the board from '
time to time. The territorial act
creating the board makes provision
for the passage of such laws as may
be needed, but the town has no ma
chinery at present for the enforce
ment of laws, and the members of
the board are reluctant to create
offices that will burden the town
with additional expense. A solution
of the problem can be found, it is
believed, through co-operation with
the United States commissioner and
the deputy marshal, provided .hose
officers can serve the town in addi
tion to their other duties. If that
plan can be carried out, payment
for services rendered probably will
be more than covered by costs and
fines collected from violator? of
town ordinances.
Both United States Commissioner
R. S. McDonald and Deputy Mar
shal James Hagan were on hand
last night for the purpose of con
ferring with the board, and while
it is their opinion that they can
act. without interference with their
regular duties, they expressed a de
sire to confer with the United 1
States district attorney before ac- ,
eepting appointment by the town, i
There are other points which also
must be taken up with the United
States attorney, and it probably will
be several davs before the matter is
finally disposed of. United States ]
District Attorney R. F. Roth is ex
pected in Nenana tomorrow and the j
various phase? of the question will
be taken up with him then.
The only other matter before the j
board last night was the passage of
an ordinance restricting the use of
i
sidewalk? and sidewalk grades to
pedestrians. This matter is covered
by townsite regulations, but it has
been found difficult in the past to
compel teamsters to confine their
activities to the streets and alleys.
The ordinance follows:
TOWN OF NENANA.
1
Ordinance No. 2.
Driving or Riding Over Sidewalks or j
Sidewalk Grades.
That if any person shall wilfully, :
within the limits of the Town of j
Xenana. drive or ride any horse or
mule, or drive any sled, automobile >
or wagon upon any sidewalk or side- i
walk grade therein, he shall be j
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.]
and upon conviction thereof, before,
the town magistrate, shall be fined
the sum of twenty-five dollars j
($25,001 and costs for each such
offense.
This ordinance will be in fui;!
force and effect on and after De
cember 20, 1910. !
Passed by the Board of Trustees c
of the Town of Xenana and ap-i
proved by me this seventeenth dav .
