FIRST AUTO REACEHS
TOWN FROM UPRIVER
The first auto to make the trip down
over the trail from Fairbanks arrived in
Nenana Monday afternoon, having made
the run down from the upper town by
way of the Ester trail in two days.
The machine was operated by Bob Scan
lon and is one of several owned by Bobby
Sheldon, the pioneer auto stage man of
| the Fairbanks-Chitina trail.
| It is Mr. Sheldon’s intention to inaug
j urate a regular service between Nenana
and Fairbanks, and when the trail is in
better condition the trip each way will
be made in a day. The machine which
reached Nenana was equipped with run
ners attached to the front wheels, and
Sheldon is now experimenting with run
ners on all four wheels, with a tractor be
hind to furnish propulsion.
The machine left here on Tuesday
morning and reached the upper town late
the same afternoon.
SAUM IS CANDIDATE
FOR WARDEN’S JOB
Bud Saum, sourdough resident of Ne
naua, is a candidate for the job of game
warden, which was made vacant recently
by the resignation of Andy Hoey. Saum
was one of the first to make application
to the governor tor the place, and he is
backed by some of the strongest indorse
ments obtainable in the Territory. Sev
eral telegrams recommending the appoint
ment of Mr. Saum were sent to Juneau
some time ago, and a number of letters
of a similar character are now on the way '
to the territorial capital. It is the opin
ion of Bud’s many friends and supporters
that he will land the place without diffi
culty. !
Saum is an old-timer in the North, hav
ing come to Alaska more than seven years
ago. He was with the Alaska boundary
survey during the several years the lines
: were being run, and knows the country
thoroughly from the coast to the Arctic.
He has lived in Seward, Anchorage, Chit
iua and McCarty, and was in the Shusana
country during the boom days of that
camp. At present he has a barber shop
in the post office building on Market
street.
FORMER NENANAITE !
HAS SEATTLE CAFE
John Howsam, the well known old

each month. In a letter to John Booth
the former Alaska restaurant man says
that he keeps his place open about three
hours a day, and in that time he feeds an
average of about three hundred people**
This gives him a net income of about
$150 a mouth. ' 1
