CREOSOTE MENACE
TO LEAKY PIPES
Night Patrolman Oscar Rothen- :
>urg has in his possession the re
nains of what was once a perfecly
;ood length of stove pipe. The
>ipe ws I once part of a series of:
imilar length in use at a small cabin |
n Nenana and doubtless now would I
>e hidden among the ruins of a
jurned home but for the timely ar
•ival of the night patrolman. Mr.
Rothenburg saw the blaze emerging
:hrough the safety of the cabin in
question and extinguished the fire
before serious damage had resulted.
In searching for the cause of the
fire, the patrolman found that the
pipe within the safety had been
perforated by the action of the
creosote, permitting the flames to
leak out into the safety, thereby ex
posing the roof to danger. The pipe
looks as though it had been the
target for one of the big American
guns in use in France.
These facts are related for the
benefit of owners of other cabins
and store buildings, whose property
may be similarly exposed to fire
risk. Mr. Rothenburg urges all such
owners to inspect their stove pipes
immediately, to make certain that
there are no such leaks and he
points out that this is the season
when pipes stand the greatest need
of attention, especially those pipes
which have been in use throughout
the winter. The timely removal of
a leaky pipe, he points out, may
save the town from serious loss.
NOTICE
There will be a regular meeting
of the Nenana club at 8 p. m., Mon
day evening, March 25th at the club
rooms.
There should be election of per
manent officers, appointments of
committees, etc, and other important

All those who have made appli- j

to come, in order that we may have

sible for the transcation of the above
important matters.

Eric Eichel, A German Alien, Given .j
The Extreme Penalty For Hi»
Offense. •[
Eric Eichel, an unnaturalized Ger
man, was found guilty yesterday af
ternoon in the commissioner's court, !j!
on the charge of making seditious !jj
utterances, and was sentenced by
Commissioner R. S. McDonald to 3
serve one year in jail and to pay „
a fine of $1,000, the extreme pen- j
alty allowed by law. The hearing I
was held before a jury of twelve I
men and the verdict reached with- *
out difficulty, the evidence against I
the offender being such as to leave
no doubt regarding his guilt.
Eichel’s offense was committed at
Diamond, in the Kantishna district, ;
and consisted of the statement, in
substance, that “the kaiser is no s
worse than President Wilson or any f
of the heads of the Allied govern- {
ments.” It was also shown during
the hearing that the prisoner had s
displayed a similar attitude toward ^
the United States on other occa- s
sions and his belligerence is said to j
have become a source of general
annoyance to the men of the Kan- £
tishna, who took advantage of the
first opportunity to complain against
him to the federal authorities. The
complaint was sworn to by Charles j
Ingersoll, one of the oldtimers of (
the Kantishna.
Eichel was a comparative stranger ^
in the Kantishna, having gone there ^
| from Nenana during the winter. ,
i Before leaving Nenana, he was em- j
j ployed on the Brown hoist for a (
; short time. He came to Nenana
I from the Hot Springs district.
It is said of the man that he has (
all the earmarks of being a dan
gerous pro-German I. W. W., and
he had been under survelience by
Deputy Marshal Hagen for some (
time. He will be sent to Fairbanks ,
at the first opportunity to serve his ,
sentence in the federal jail at that j
place. Eichel acted as his own coun
sel during the hearing.
The jury which heard the case
and pronounced the verdict was com
posed of: W. C. Freeman, R. E.
‘Cooley, M. J. Cooney, Harry Davis,
Ben Accen, Edmund Willette, Oscar
O. Melvin, John Diston, Bill Kenyon,

COONEY RETURNS
FROM PASS TRIP
TRAIL FEASIBLE
The principal question before the
Nenana Commercial club, at the
meeting held last Sunday, was that
of the Broad Pass trail and the
feasibility of changing the present
line of travel so as to avoid the
open stretch of country which now
expose mushers to serious danger
on account of the lack of shelter.
M. J. Cooney, vice-president of
the club, made the trip out the trail,
accompanied by Wm. Thomas, on a
tour of investigation, arriving home
on Sunday. Mr. Cooney reported
at length regarding the trip, stating
in substance, that he did not con
sider a trail cutting proposition,
apart from a mail handling con
tract, feasible. With regard to the
handling of mail over the route, Mr.
Cooney said that he considered that
a very feasible proposition, for a
private contractor, as soon as the
ends of steel are brought within a
reasonable distance of each other.
Trail conditions were investigated
by the club at the solicitation of
mushers and roadhouse men along
the route, it having been suggested
that a short cut could be made
through the timber at comparatively
small cost.
Mr. Cooney is very enthuiastic
over the possibilities of mail carry
ing over the route, expressing the
belief that it can be done more
cheaply and quickly by the end of
the present season, than by way of
the Fairabnks-Chitina route.
The commitee named to investi
gate the feasibility of forming a
central body to supervise charitable
donations, reported that the plan had
received the endorsemeni in all
quarters and they were Instructed
to confer with other organizations
with a view to putting the plan into
immediate operation.
