such men an opportunity to come

to win the war.

JAPANESE STEAMERS
ENTER NEW FIELDS
i TOKIO—On account of the Amer
ican restrictions on Japanese im
ports, many of the non-subsidized
and individual steamship lines of
Japan, unable to transport Oriental
rice and other products to South
America via the United States, un
loading the goods at American ports
on the Western coast, have been
obliged to withdraw their steamers I
from the Pacific service.
! This fact, however, has proved i
a boon to the South American ser
vices of three representative Japan
ese companies. One of them re
cently placed an extra steamer, the
Panama Maru, in South American
commission and is planning to dis
l patch another boat to meet the de
mand for the transportation of
! Oriental rice, Japanese emigrants
and export goods. Another Japanese
company also intends to enlarge
: its line.

! RADER IS HERE
FROM UP RIVER
HAND INJURED
W. H. Newton, of the Healey Rive
Trading Post Loses Thumb
In Accident.
William H. Newton, who owns
the Healey River Trading Post on
the upper Tanana river, arrived in
Xenana last night on the transport
Jacobs. In a recent accident he
lost the thumb of his le*t hand and
is here for the purpose of having
his injuries attended to at the Com
mission hospital.
The accident which caused him
the loss of his thumb occurred on
the second of September, while on
the way up to the trading post at
Healey river from McCarty with a
load of freight. Xewton and an
Indian helper were proceeding up
the river in a gasoline lanuch with
two poling boats loaded with freight
for the post in tow. When about
fifteen miles above McCarty, the
flotilla grounded on one of the
treacherous quicksand bars common
in this part of the Tanana river.
A few feet of water covered the
bar, and Newton got out on it for
the purpose of backing the boats
into deep water. The swift waters
of the river would appear to have
sluiced the sand from under the
boats and they started to drift to
ward some snags nearby. Realizing
the danger, Newton, who was in
the water, got hold of the line at
tached to the launch and attempted
to snub it and the heavy tow on
a stump on the bar. In the hurry,
it would appear, that a kink in the
rope fouled his thumb, and the en
tire weight of the rapidly drifting
launch and her tow tore it out of
his left hand.
He managed to right the launch,
however, and after hastily bandag
ing his hand, proceeded up the river,
ariving at the post about two and
one-half days afterwards. He doc
tored his injured hand as well as
he could and as soon as was able
to left for Fairbanks via McCarty
and the Valdez trail, where he ar
rived on September 9th, in time
to catch the transport Jacobs for
Nenana.
Newton entered the Nenana hos
pital this morning and his injury
was attended to by Dr. More, who
stated that he will have to remain
in the hospital for a day or two
at least.
Newton says that it is very quiet
at the post and in the neighboring
district. The fur catch for the
season was as good as usual and
consisted mostly of lynx, fox and
bear, with a few mink and ermine
skins. Most of the prospectors ap
pear to have left the district and
there is practically no prospecting
being done on the Healey river now.
Joshua Ray, well known oldtimer
of the North, has a ranch near the
Healey post. He has sunk some
prospect holes in the surrounding
country, but it is not known whether
he found any encouragement. He
has a few claims on the Healey,
but is making no attempt to work
them at the present time.
In the Goodpaster country, Sully
and the Johnson brothers, who have
been prospecting for some time past,
have found pretty fair prospects in
some of the holes put down by
them. They had intended opening
up on a small scale, but at the time
Newton left the post, it was not de
finitely known what they were go
ing to do. It is thought that they
will take out a winter dump or two.
