The regular monthly meeting ol
Nenana Igloo, No. 17, Pioneers 01
Alaska, was held at Union hall or
] Monday evening, with a consider
! able number of members in attend
; anee. In addition to the transactior
; of the usual routine business, om
!new name was added to the member
j ship roll and a resolution wa:
i adopted, placing the time qualifies
J tion for membership prior to Jan
j uary 1, 1901, pending the result 01
| the referendum to be held nexi
i fall under the direction of tht
I grand igloo. The new member ad'
mitted was C. H. Wubbenhorst.
The work of breaking up the ic<
along the Nenana waterfront tc
provide a channel for the escape oi
the A. \. N. Co. barge Seal, wa
discontinued yesterday when it was
discovered that the calking in the
barge was being loosened by the
explosions in the ice. A channel
has been opened to within a short
distance of the barge, however, and
it is believed by Wharfinger Jack
Bellerby that no difficulty will be
experienced in getting the barge
to a safe mooring before the break
up. The barge Dakota, on the north
side of the Tanana river, is in a
more dangerous position than the
Seal, and the work of saving it
will be more difficult. This work was
taken in hand today.
Sam Ivey arrived in town this
week from the Kantishna district
and reports the flats east of the
I railroad covered with water. The
trip from the Toklat to Kobi sta
I tion was accomplished with much
difficulty.
Harry Emsley is authority for
the statement that there is a long
' stretch of open water in the Tan
ana river a short' distance above
town.
Wharfinger Jack Bellerby says
the blasting which has been done
along the Nenana waterfront during
the past several days will not in
fluence the movement of the official
breakup flag. The movement of
the ice, Mr. Bellerby declares, will
depend entirely upon the stage of
water at the big bar below town.
When there is water enough to
float the ice over that obstruction,
the breakup will take place, and
not before.

ON RAILWAYS ARE TOO LOW
CHICAGO, May 5—In a state
ment made today before the Rail
road Labor board. D. M. Jewell,
president of the railway employes,,
charged that the families of rail-1 -
road men are undernourished in j
consequence of the low wages allow
ed by the railway companies. He
asserted that the wage reductions
now being sought by the roads will
bring chaos in the transportation in
dustry.
Figures were produced to show j
that clerks in the employ of rail-!
roads, with families, are able to'
save only 24 cents a year.
