U. S. OFFICIALS PAY NENANA
BRIEF VISIT ENROUTE SOUTH
Xenana had the honor on Sun
day of entertaining a number of
distinguished visitors, composing a
Government pany, most of whom
were petting their first glimpse of
Interior Alaska. The party, headed
by Claudius H. Huston, assistant
secretary of commerce, came north
on the cutter Mojave to Cordova,
thence to Fairbanks by way of the
Richardson highway, and back to
the coa't by way of Xenana and
the Alaska Railroad, the cutter hav
ing continued to Seward to await
them there.
The party made the trip to N'e
nana by special gascar, arriving
here at ten o'clock Sunday. They
were met at the dock by Engineer
Kestly and a committee of citizens
headed by Mayor R. G. Southworth,
and escorted to the site of the
Tanar.a river bridge where they were
joined by Col. F. Mears and escorted
over the extensive workings there
by Col. Means. F. A. Hansen and
Captain C. G. Jones. Later they were
shown over the city and the rail
road reserve and promptly at noon
they boarded a waiting train, with
sleeper attached, and were whisked
away to Anchorage, accompanied by
Col. Mears and Mr. Hansen. The
visitors will have the distinction of
being the first to occupy the new
Pullman, which arrived from the
coast ’on Saturday, on its maiden t
trip, especially for their accommoda
tion.
Accompanying Secretary Huston
on the trip, are Ward T. Bowers,
chief of the Alaska division of the
bureau of fisheries; Lieutenant T.
M. Creighton, representing the de
partments of the navy ar.d state;
Joe L. Baker, special assistant and
secretary to Secretary Huston: D.
J. Davis, brother of Secretary of
Labor Davis, representing the immi
gration service; Alfred H. Brooks,
chief of the U. S. Geological survey;
Colonel James G. Steese, chaiman
of the Alaska Road Commission:
Captain H. F. Hamlet, coast guard,
commander of the cutter Majave on
the present cruise; Carl J. Gilbert,
son of the assistant secretary of the
treasury; Lambert Clifford, special
assistant.
Three other members of the party.
Dr. Leonard Steyneger. U. S. nation
al museum. Dr. H. M. Evans, public
health service, and Captain C. F.
Lindquist, special assistant, remained
aboard the Mojave.
Secretary Huston is on a tour of
the world in the interests of Ameri
can commerce abroad. He will in
vestigate f.heries conditions along
the Alaskan coast, visit the Rus
sian and Japanese seal fisheries on
the Siberian coast, make a brief stop
at Honolulu, thence to the Orient
and home by way of Suez canal.
Colonel Steese will leave the
party at Anchorage, returning to
his headquarters at Juneau and
others of the party will return home
from Siberia and Honolulu.
Secretary Huston informed a re
presentative of The News that he
had found his trip to Interior Alas
ka very interesting, much more so
than he had anticipated. And he
predicted great things for the ter
ritory in the way of development.
N'er.ana. in his opinion, has a solid
future ahead of it by reason of
the fact that it is the natural dis
tributing point for the Interior
country. He wanted to know all
about the town, its public utilities,
industries, administration and little
details concerning the municipality
and the people who are resident in
Nenana. and he experessed the
conviction that the development and
growth of the town will keep pace

^with that development which is snre
to result from the construction of
the Alaska Railroad.
Secretary Huston assured the com
mittee of citizens who met him that
he was greatly intestested in every
thing Alaska, and promised to as
sist in every way that he could, to
speed the development of the ter
ritory.
Mr. Davis, whose brother. Secre
tary of Labor Davis, is head of the
Loyal Order of Moose, found time
during his brief stay here, to call
on Alt' Kkeland and Ale-: Fowler,
officers of the local Moose lodge;
Col. Steese wis kept busy discuss
ing rood matters; and ‘ Dr." Brooks
spent most of ms time shaking
hands with the many sourdough ac
quaintances whom he me: here.
The party made the trip over the
trail from Chitina to Fairbanks in
two days, notwithstanding the fact
that considerable bad road was en
countered. due to recent rains. On
the return trip to the coast, by way
of the Alaska Railroad, fast time was
made, the train arriving at Anchor
age early yesterday morning.
COUNCIL TRYING TO SECURE
ROAD TO OPEN UP FARMS
An effort is being made by the
Xenana city council to induce the
Alaska Road Commission to open
up adjacent farm lands by the con
struction of a wagon road from Xe
nana to some point south of town,
of sufficient length to tap the large
area of agricultural land traversed
by the Alaska Railroad. The land
is now practically inaccessible be
cause of the lack of such a road as
has been requested.
At the last meeting of the coun
cil, the clerk was instructed to ad
dress a letter to officials of the
road building organization, setting
forth the needs of the district in
this regard. And the matter was
taken up verbally with Chairman
Steese during his brief stay in town
on Sunday, with the result that the
members of the council were as
sured that the desired aid would be
given if funds would permit. The
matter already has been taken up
by the commission, to the extent of
gathering data relative thereto, and
the council will confer with Major
Gotwals shortly with a view to get
ting definite action. Major Gotwals,
who is engineer officer of the com
mission, will be in Xenana within a
week or two.
The council also will endeavor to
interest the Alaska Road Commis
sion in a winter road project which
will shorten the distance consider
ably between Xenana and lower
Tanana river points. The plan is to
have a winter road cut between
Xenana and Minto or some other
point on the Hot Springs trail.
The building of such a road was
suggested several years ago, and it
seems to be generally agreed that
it would prove a great improvement
over the present trail by way of
Dunbar.
