1 According to Robert Sommers, su
s perintendent of the Alaska Road
. commission who arrived at Nome on
. the first trip of the Victoria, the
government owned railway from
Nome to Shelton will be completely
, rehabilitated this summer and placed
I in condition as a tram to be used
by the public. The government will
not furnish any equipment, however,
such as transportation facilities. So
rules and regulations have been
compiled, save that no load exceed
ing two tons gross will be allowed
to pass over the railroad, as that
will be its capacity.
George A. Parks, bead of the
; field forces of the U. S. land office,;
came over from Anchorage this week
• on an official visit to the Interior.
• He reports that a sale of lots was
, held at Anchorage recently, and that
, prospective purchasers of property'

ANCHORAGE BASEBALL BOYS
INVITE NENANA FOR MATCH
The N'enana Baseball club has
been invited to play a series of
games in Anchorage in the near fu
ture and negotiations are now in
progress relative to the details of
the arrangements. Should the N’e
nana aggregation go to the coast,
the series probably will be played
during the Labor Day festivities.
The invitation to the local boys
came from Manager Jess Lander,
of the Anchorage-Legion team, and
was addressed to Manager Joe O’
Connor who was suggested in reply,
after consultation with “Sure Shot”
Kennedy and members of the local
team, that the Interior be represent
ed in the series by a combination
team composed of both N'enana and
Fairbanks players. The Anchorage
Legion team is said to be a very
strong aggregation, and is adding
new material to its lineup at every
opportunity. Only recently Manager
Lander ascruired a new pitching ace
in the person of Clyde Hitchcock,
who arrived from San Francisco on
a recent boat and who was consider
ed one of the tellar moundsmen of
the midwinter league last year.
It is possible Nenana and Fair
banks will meet on the diamond
next Sunday.
STANDARD OIL PUTTING
STIR INTO COAST TOWN
A small army of workmen are em
ployed on the Standard Oil property
at Oil point, near the Seward depot.
The first large tank. 60 feet in dia
meter by 30 feet in height has been
practically completed and the second
one 50x30 feet has been started.
Three more tanks 30x30 feet will
be erected, making five in all. The
cement seawall around the property
has been completed and the iron
fence posts set. The storehouse and
office building is rapidly assuming
shape and a number of teams and
workmen are engaged in filling in
behind the wall. The approach to the
dock has been completed and the
head of the wharf is now fast as
suming shape. This reaches out to
a depth of thirty feet of water at
low tide, giving plenty for the
largest vessels. Dolphins will be
driven at the corners and at each
end to allow boats to berth comfort
ably.
A neat iron fence will enclose
the grounds, tanks and biuldings.
which will be painted a battleship
gray, the company’s colors.

BROTHERHOOD OFFICIALS
LOOKING OVER RAILROAD

gation of conditions along the Alaska
Railroad to get the facts about non

road. says the Seward Gateway. It

LUCKY ALASKA
Whether somebody handed Colonel
Steese and his assistants a collec
tion of rabbits' feet taken from a
graveyard denizen at midnight is not
revealed, but incidents of recent
date show that "Lady Luck” is rid
ing “reg’lar” on Alaska railroad
special trains declares the Anchorage
Times. Hardly had the congressional
party left Alaska before a torrent
put several miles of railroad out of
commission. Xow the system is
chalking up another credit to "Lady
Luck" on the success of the presi
dent's special. The distinguished
party was landed safely at Seward,
and Engineer Brayford was return
ing with the equipment to Anchorage
when a rear axle of the engine broke
necessitating sending out the wreck
?r to help in the train.
Railroad men have their supersti
;ions, and the good fortune attending
rhe recent events is taken to mean
a successful year without serious
accident.
