Among the passengers arriving in
Nenana yesterday aboard the trans
port General Jacobs were Mr. and
Mrs. Hans Xelson and their son
Henry, who are on their way to An
chorage. Mr. Nelson, who is one of ]
the oldest civilian employes of the'
13. S army and who has acted as'
wheelwright at the post at Tanana;
ever since it was established, has ]
been transferred to Fort William H.
Seward, which will be the scene of!
his future labors. He has seen 22!
years’ service with the D. S. army ;
in Alaska, four of which were spent 1
at Fort Egbert (Eagle) until that
post was abandoned, when he was
transferred to Fort Gibbon, where
he has remained since that time.
Captain William Fisher, supervis-'
ing inspector of steam vessels, was
a passenger for Xenana on the trans-!
port Jacobs which arrived here yes- '■
terday. He left for Fairbanks or,
official business and will probably
return to Xenana within a few days
on his way to the coast via the
Alaska Railroad.
Among the passengers leaving for
the States on the through train to- j
night will be Mrs. H. M. Nelson,;
who is going out to her old home ’
in the States. Mrs. Nelson recently
relinquished her position in the local
postoffice, where she served the pub
lic with uniform courtesy and affa
bility which won for her the friend
ship and respect of the entire com
munity.
The steamer Martha Clow, form
erly engaged in the fishing business
at the mouth of the Yukon river,
in connection with the operation of
the Carlisle cannery, arrived in port
from the lower river on Sunday
morning enroute to Fairbanks where
she probably will go on the ways.
Simon Kissick, well known Indian
pilot, is in charge of the boat, as
sisted by a small crew and the voy
| age up river was made by easy
j stages, it being necessary to tie up
'rights in order that the crew r,ifaht
j get required rest. The Clow is the
! property of the Carlisle interests and
I is said to be for sale.
_
The work of pouring tne concrete
for the foundations of thj n. w Xe
! nana depot building was commenced
on Saturday and is progressing
steadily in spite of the wet v-aMier
prevailing. This part of the work
will be finished within a few days.
All of the necessary joists and other
timbering for the floor have been
laid and Contractor Howard, who is
in charge of the work, expects to
be able to commence raising the
framework by the end of the week.
The transport General Jacobs, un
der command of Captain Bergman,
arrived in port yesterday afternoon
from Tanana with a barge load of
approximately 120 tons of miscel
laneous army equipment and sup
plies from the abandoned post at the
mouth of the Tanana river, which is
being shipped to Anchorage. The
steamer will sail for the upper river
probably tomorrow to dismantle the
abandoned Signal Corps station at
Chena.
Mrs. Milner, wife of Sergeant Mil
ner. transferred from Tanana to
Anchorage, arrived from the army
town yesterday and will proceed to
the coast this evening to join her
husband.
-*
Mrs. Vincent F Peirce will leave
for Anchorage this evening to join
her husband, who is attached to the
coast forces of the Alaska Railroad.

Miss Margaret Bathberger, a mis
sion worker stationed at Anvik, was
brought to Xenana on the transport
General Jacobs yesterday for hospi
tal treatment and was admitted to
the local institution yesterday after
noon. On the trip up form Anvik,
Miss Bathberger was accompanied by
Miss Smith, teacher at Anvik who is
also a trained nurse.
George Miller, one of the work
ers at the bridgesite, was admitted
to the hospital yesterday for treat
ment for an injured finger, the in
jury being of such a character as to
necessitate amputation. It was the
third finger of the right hand.
The Fourth of July celebration
proved irresistible to Frank Glass,
who was convalescent at the time at
the local hospital. He caught a cold
and is back in the ward again, under
lock and key. But his condition is
not serious and he hopes soon to
be able to leave the institution
Claus Anderson, a bridge worker,
sustained a compound fracture of
the little finger of his left hand and
was admitted to hospital for treat
ment recently.
Clinton Carr, a bridge worker,
has his thumb in a sling as the re
sult of cutting it with an axe. He
split the thumb through the nail, a
painful injury which was speedily
repaired by Dr. Carmichael. Carr
will be able to resume his duties in
a short time.
Bill Kucoff. hurrying to leave the
work train at meal time, stumbled
against something as he jumped off
the car and fell heavily on his face,
with the result that he is under the
care of Dr. Carmichael with a badly
cut face. He will be an out-door
patient for some little time.
—
Michael Haeerty, whose face, eyes'
and arm were recently scalded by a ;
blow-back of hot mud at the bridge-!
site, is almost well now, except for!
the injury on his arm. which is now ;
healing rapidly. '
Jack Cronin, who entered the lo
cal hospital some time afro, coming
from Riley, has improved greatly
under the care of Dr. Carmichael
and it eager to return to his home
in the Canyon district.
Major John C. Gotwals, engineer
officer of the Alaska Road Commis
sion, arrived from the coast on the
Saturday train and went to Fair
banks on Sunday. He will spend
several days in the upper town.

A freight train arrived in N'enana :
on Saturday with four carp of rail
) road freight and two cars of gener-1
al merchandise, a large part of which
was perishables. The train was de- i
i layed for three hours near Tunnel ’
1 No. 2, in Nenana canyon, by reason i
! of a small rock slide caused by the j
almost incessant rain prevailing. The
| train started on the return trip to
I Curry on Sunday morning, with a
string of empties.
Quite a number of tourists reached
i N'enana on the Saturday train from
the coast and left for Fairbanks on
Sunday. Among the visitors arriving
were Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Preston, of
Yakima, Wash.; Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Kellow and daughter, A. W. Kellow
and Mrs. J. J. Kellow, of Los An
geles; Misses E. M. Scott and May
Howard, of Seattle; C. F. Lane, of
Seattle; Misses Lynette and Charl
-ine Furley, of San Francisco; Misses
. Marie and Karen Knudsen, Fargo;
j Mrs. E. A. Cheek Canton, Miss.; O.
W. Kickbush and O. Hewitt.
, Al Lamont, who recently severed
, his connection with the Alaska Rail
j road after a long period of service,
j during which time he was in charge
j of the Brown hoist in this division,
has disposed of his property inter
ests to Louis Johnson, and will leave
for the States this evening to join i
Mrs. Lamont and their two children 1
who left Nenana several weeks ago. j
i Mr. Lamont has the reputation of .
being a very efficient hoistman.
The old Signal Corps telegraph j
: line between Nenana and Fairbanks j
has been abandoned and all messages i
! are now being sent over the rail
road wires by way of Dunbar, which
is a comparatively new line and in
1 splendid working order. The station
i a: Chena has been closed and the
j equipment will be picked up by the
1 transport Jacobs on the present trip
I up river. The Signal corps men in
charge there will be detailed to duty ;
elsewhere in the territory. The old
line, which follows the hills hording
the Tanana river, was a source of
much trouble to the Signal Corps
boys, who were frequently called
upon to make long trips to make j
needed repairs.
The train leaving Xenana on July
3 was delayed five hours ten miles j
south of Windy as the result of
track trouble at a switch. The smok- .
er jumped the track and puljed the
caboose off with it.
George Rich, of the X'enana
