Among those taking passage yes
terday on the steamer Tanana was
Mrs. C. W. Adams, who was called
t« Tanana by the serious illness of
her husband, Captain Adams, master
of the steamer Alaska, who was
taken seriously ill on the last voy
age of that vessel, Dawson bound.
The captain was removed from the
boat at Tanana and is now under
the care of the army surgeon. Mrs.
Adams should have reached the
army town shortly after noon to
day.
There was a persistent report 'n
circulation this morning to the ef
fect that the captain had died, but
no one appears to know how the
story started and no one can be
found who can state positively that
the story is true. A report re
ceived at Fairbanks late last even
ing stated that the eond:tion of
Skof House
Second and Market Sts,
NOW OPEN UNDER NEW
MANAGEMENT.

NATIVES CELEBRATE
WITH NIGHT OF SONG
The native village at the upper
end of town was the scene of merri
making last night, the affair being
in the nature of a “coming out’’
party for one of the maidens of
the village’s younger set—a time
honored custom of the villagers.
The dancing, to the accompani
ment of weird native songs, began
early and continued until the small
hours of the morning, with an oc
casional resting period during which
eats were passed around.

Samples of meat taken at random
from the Commission cold storage
: plants have been examined by
chemists in the employ of the gov
ernment bureau of mines at Fair
banks and pronounced free from im
purities. A verbal report of the
examination was received over the
phone this morning by Engineer
in Charge Fred'k D. Browne and
the formal written report will be
mailed for local filing.
Superintendent John H. Davis in
formed Mr. Browne that the meat
had been subjected to a careful an
alysis to ascertain if the usual com
mercial preservatives had been used,
such as sulphites, boric acid, salicy
lic acid and formaldehyde, but the
presence of none of these was de
tected. the meat being entirely free
from foreign substances such as
might prove injurious to health.
The samples of meat were sent
to Fairbanks for examination as a
matter of precaution, following the
development here of a food poison
ing case similiar to the cases which
resulted recently in the death of
a number of persons at Dawson.
The samples included three pieces
of beef, two pieces of mutton and
one piece of pork.
->ir. Browne is also in receipt
of a message from Dawson inform
ing him that the meat shipped
down river this spring from that
point had not been condemned.
The meat was shipped through to
Fairbanks under sea! and there ex
amined by the government physi
cian before any of it was released,
and pronounced pure and whole
some. None of that meat was un
loaded at N'enana and none has
since been received here, the Xa
nana shipments having come from
the cold storage plants at Ruby and
T anant.
Mr. Browne stated that he had
no reason to believe the meat re
ceived by the Commission this year
is less wholesome than usual, but
in view of the many reports in
circulation, he desired to make sure
of the condition of the meat before
permitting further use of it by em
ployees of the Commission.
Cold storage meat, explained Mr.
Browne, when properly looked after,
can be kept for an indefinite time
without materia! deterioration. He
suggests, however, ,.hat the quality
can be improved by careful trim
ming of the outside of the cuts and
by removing the bones when prac
ticable.
Ralph Waechter, local representa
tive of Waechter Bros., when ques
tioned today regarding the approxi
mate date of the storage of the
meat now in the camp, stated that
none had been in storage for a
longer period than thirty months
or thereabouts. He says all the
meat is tagged when it goes into
storage, and these tags show the
date. Mr. Waechter also states that
none of the meat brought down
from Dawson this spring has been
offered for sale in Xenana. either
by him or by the Commission. The
meat received here, he says, came
from the lower river.
“I requested that none of the
Dawson meat be sent to Xenar.a,”
explained Mr. Waechter, "because
of the belief, entertained by some
people, that the Dawson deaths were .
caused by cold storage meat, not
withstanding the fact that an ex
amination of the Dawson meat fail
ed to disclose the presence of the
mysterious poison. The meat was
pronounced wholesome before it left
Dawson and again after it reached
Fairbanks. The only evidence thus
far produced to show that the Daw
son cases were caused by diseased
meat is the statement of Outside
specialists that the illness is similar
to certain cases recorded which are
known to have been caused by meat
poisofting. A very large part of
the Dawson meat was consumed
during the winter without any ill
effects.”

banks barber, now has a shop in
