ACCIDENT AT SHOVEL CAMP
IS FATAL TO KENNY KOLDEN
Craneman Kenny ttc,iden met with
an accident yesterday afternoon, at
the steam shovel camp at North N'e
nana, which resulted in his death
while being: taken to the hospital
for treatment. The unfortunate man
was in the act of climbing to his
seat on the big steam shovel when
the boom of the shoved was swung
around accidentally in such manner
that, Holden was caught between
the boom and the frame, both of
his legs being smashed below the
knees.
Harry Abercrombie, who was en
gaged in dressing an injury on an
other man at the time of the acci
dent, was called to North Nenana
to render first aid, but his arrival
there was somewhat delayed owing
to the difficulty of getting across
the ice. owing to the fact that the
breakup had occurred only a short
time before the accident happened.
When it was seen that Holden
had been badly hurt, a locomotive
was fired up. hooked on to a coach
and. with Deacon Jones at the thro*
tle, the injured man was rushed
to Fairbanks, Harry Abercrombie
accompanying him. The accident oc
curred shortly after two and the
improvised train left for the upper
town at 5:30. arriving there about
three hours later. Just as the train
was pulling into the depot, Holden
breathed his last.
The deceased was a comparative
ly recent arrival on this end of the
Alaska Railroad, but he was an old
timer in the country, and was very
popular wherever he worked. He1
was employed on the Copper River
& Northwestern railroad a number
of years ago, and has many friend*
among the oldtimers there. His re
latives in Seattle have beer, advised
of the accident and upon receipt of
advices from them, arrangements
will be made for the funeral.
Captain George H. Whitney, in
spector of boilers. John Newmarker.
inspector of boilers and George E.
Mann, chief clerk, recently closed
their offices in Juneau and are now
on their annual tour of the Territory
and will be absent from their head
quarters until about the first of
August.

Typewriter Paper at The New»
CREDIT MAN SAYS INTERIOR
SHOULD USE SMALL CHANGE
The introduction of nickels and
dimes in the channels of trade in
Interior Alaska is absolutely vital
to the promotion of business, accord
ing- to Fred H. Gattis, field repre
sentative of the credit department
of the Western Dry Goods Com
pany, of Seattle, who is now in
Nenana awaiting- the opening oj
navigation in order that he may
proceed down river on his way to
Siberia and the Orient. The time
has arrived, he says, for the genera!
use of small change in Interior
towns and that its introduction will
benefit both merchants nj the pub
lic general]}-.
After the river opens Mr. Gattis
will journey leisurely down the
Tanana and Yukon rivers for a gen
eral survey of conditions. Arriving
at Nome, he will await the coming
of a trading vessel which is to take
him to the Siberian side for an in
; vestigation of conditions there, with
a view to the invasion of that field
by his company. He will later visit
| Vladivostok, and from there he will
| go to Japan and China, and back
to the States by way of the Phil
ippines and Honolulu. He expects
to reach Seattle about the first of
the year.
Mr. Gattis has been in Alaska be
fore but this is his first visit to the
Interior, and he expresses himself
as very favorably impressed by what
he has seen of the country thus
far.
