KARSTENS BOAT
FIRS! IN PORI
FROMJJP RIVER
Gas Launch Louise Makes Early Run
Down From Fairbanks With
Full Load.
The gas boat Louise, owned and
operated by Harry Karstens, ar
rived from Fairbanks late yesterday
afternoon with fourteen passengers
and a considerable quantity of
freight for local merchants. The
run was made without incident, the
water being high and the river clear
of ice. Some ice was observed,
however, coming into the river from
a side stream just after the Louise
had passed, and . had the launch ar
rived there a short time later, con
siderable delay doubtless would have
resulted.
Karstens is undecided whether or
not he will run regularly between
the two towns. His boat is not
as speedy as some of the launches
that will navigate the river this
summer, having been designed for
heavy work. He will make trips
as frequently as conditions warrant,
however, and expects to haul con
siderable freight. The launch re
turned to the upper town this morn
ing.
The passengers arriving on the
Louise were: Mrs. Robert Lavery
and four children, Miss Edith Waite,
Mrs. Fred Carter, Mrs. Billing, W.
E. Muir, Jack O’Gara, Deputy Mar
shal H. R. Tull, W. E. Terrill and
Gene Ellis. A couple of way pass
engers were picked up enroute

Examination.
In a wire recieved at Fairbanks
today from Delegate Sulzer, an
nouncement is made that Melvin
Anderson, nephew of Herman Ander
son of this city, has passed his naval
mental examination with a cridt
able showing. The delegate was ad
vised of the examination by the navy
department, and passed the w'ord
on to the relatives of the young
man in Alaska.
Young Anderson, during his resi
dence in Nenana, was in the employ
of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission, and left here to accept a
position in the courthouse at Fair
banks. Later he decided to enter
the service of Uncle Sam and left
for the Outside early in January.
HERE FROM ©SI

Among the arrivals from Fair
banks who reached town last even
ing was W. E. Muir, who made the

ing commission as master mechanic.

| of all mechanical equipment of the
Commission in this division and has
already assumed his new duties. i
A report received in Nenana late ;
this afternoon stated that the launch
Peerless left the upper town this
morning, but was compelled to turn

Whether or not a second start was
made is not known here. Division ■
Engineer F. B. Browne was among
the passengers. i

NENANA LADIES
PLANNING DRIVE
FORJLED CROSS
Jar* Will Be Used to Receive
Donations and Entertainments
Will Be Given.
•
I The Red Cross drive, which will
start on Monday throughout the
United States for the puprose of
raising one hundred million dollars,
will not be a membership cam
paign, according to a statement
made today by Mrs. J. R. Bowen,
head of the local branch of the Red
Cross. Mrs. Bowen received a tele
gram from Fairbanks today, in which
the purpose of the campaign was
explained, and the ladies of Nenana
are now busily engaged in outlining
their plans for the drive. A meet
ing will be held tonight for the pur
pose of arranging details.
At a meeting of the ladies held
yesterday, it was decided to place
Red Cross jars at tho various busi
ness places for the receipt of dona
tions to the fund. And it was also
decided to give a dance next Satur
day night for the benefit of the
I Nenana fund. Committees were
appointed at the meeting to arrange
the affair and they promise some
thing original in the way of enter
tainment. A number of surprises
are being planned.
The ladies wish it understood that
the drive is not to be a membership
campaign, but they will receive
money for that purpose, as a matter
of course, should any be offered
with the request that it be placed
to the credit of the membership
account.
ESGATE IS TAKEN
UP AS A SLACKER
Deputy Marshal H. R. Tull Comes
to Nenaua for Well Known
Young Prospector.
Among: the passengers leaving for
Fairbanks this morning on the Kar
stens launch was Roy Esgate, well
known young prospector who was
placed under arrest early this week
on the charge of being a slacker.
He was taken to Fairbanks by Dep
uty Marshal H. R. Tull, who made
the trip down river yesterday for
that purpose.
Esgate claims that he was not of
age at the time of registeration and
he has a telegram, purporting to
have been sent by his mother, in
which it is stated that he was born
during the month of January, 1897.
The authorities have information,
however, which indicates to them
that Esgate is of age and he will
accordingly be tried on the charge
of evading the draft. His case will
be heard in the district court at
Fairbanks.
Esgate was placed under arrest
several days ago by Deputy Marshal
Hagan, but was not taken into cus
tody until late yesterday.
DANCE TONIGHT
The dancing public will be given
the opportunity tonight to spend a
pleasant three or four hours at the1
Coliseum, after the show, the man
agement having announced one of
their popular hops—popular in price
and popular in all other respects.
The admission charge will be $1
for gentlemen. Ladies will be ad
mitted free.
Mrs. Lipman Simson and little
son left for Fairbanks on the Kar
stens launch this morning. Mrs.
Simson will join her husband in the
upper town and return with him
later to Nenana.
John C. Murphy, local attorney,
left for Fairbanks this morning on
legal business. He expects to re
turn during the early part of next
week.
Jack O’Gara came down from
Fairbanks yesterday, having been
called to the bedside of Mrs. O’Gara,
who is a patient at the Government
hospital.
