WELCOME. EXCURSIONISTS
The arrival of the first trainload
of excursionists over the almost
completed Government railroad
marks an epoch in the history of
Alaska; it marks the beginning of
a new order of things—the com
mencement of an era of understand
ing and uniting of interests v.-kich
will prove helpful to the entire ter
ritory.
The excursionists will I.nd the
people of Interior Alaska awaiting
them with outstretched hands, eager
to welcome them to a land of vast
area, full of possibilities, .hi-a has
long been shut off from the rest
of the territory" by reason of in
adequate transportation facilities.
In extending to the visitors form
Anchorage, on behalf of the Interior
country in general, and the Nenana
district in particular, a hearty and
cordial welcome. The News voices
the hope that the linking of the coast
with the Interior will be followed
by closer business and social rela
tionship. which will tend toward a
unity of purpose for the develop
ment of the country’s resources,
the attraction of population to the
various sections and the betterment
of conditions generally.

H. E. Seneff. who succeeded John
Moe as special officer for the sup
pression of the liquor traffic, arrived
in town Thursday evening and left
yesterday for his headquarters at
Fairbanks. He lef: the upper town
early in September and has traveled
much since that time, on both the
Upper and Lower Yukon. He also
visited several Tanana River points.
He made the trip from Tanana with
the Dago Kid.
Superintendent Hawley W. Steri
1 ing, of the Alaska Road Commission,
I arrived in town on the train from
Fairbanks yesterday and expects to
leave on Monday for Carlson’s
road.iouse, at Mile 320, on the Gov
ernment railroad. lie is going there
for the purpose of commencing work
on the proposed trail from that
point to the Valdez Creek mining
district, adequate appropriation for
which has been made from available
funds at the disposal of the com
m:ssion.
Before proceeding to Mile 32<i,
to commence work on the Valdez
Creek trail, Mr. Sterling will run
a survey line to straighten out and
shorten the cutoff trail from Nenana
to the Kantishna. so that the work
of improving the trail can be taken
in hand at an early date. The work
of running the line was commenced
this morning and will be continued
by Arndt Greve, C. E.. who will ac
company Mr. Sterling on his return
from Mile 320 a few days hence.
After a series of tests had been
made and the ice on the Xanana
river found to be safe enough to
bear the weight of trains, the train
from Fairbanks, arriving yesterday,
was brought across to the N'enana
dock, where the passengers detrain
ed. This is the first time this season
that trains were operated on the
river ice. Dinky engine No. 380.
which is much lighter than the loco
motives in use on the Fairbanks
line, was used to bring the cars
over.
Councilman M. J. Cooney attached
his auto to the city’s chemical rig
yesterday to demonstrate the useful
ness of his machine as motive power
for the fire apparatus. Mr. Cooney
has volunteered the use of his car
for that purpose and will house it
at the fire hall, where it will be
available at all times.
Although not largely attended, the

* affair, everyone reporting having
had a good time.
There will be a special meeting of
the city council at City Hall tonight.
Mails leaving N’enana for the Out
side on November 5 and 9, reached
Seattle on Wednesday, the 23rd.
With reference to an article ap
j pearing in The News of November
i 17, regarding Teddy Rolston and
Phi! Ott who, in company with an
1 Indian, as guide, went on a pros
J pecting trip to the headwaters of
; John River and. on whose non-ap
pearance as scheduled, some anxiety
was felt for their safety, Joe Mat
: thews, who recently arrived from the
' Koyukuk. brings the news that Big
• Charlie, the Indian guide, arrived
; at Betties and reported that the boys
had met a party of Standard Oil men
I who were out looking for oil seep
ages in the Arctic slope, and joined
them in their quest. The Indian
stated that the boys would reach Bet
ties later on with the oil prospectors
who are reported to have obtained
1 several samples of crude oil.
Fred Hausselman, who arrived in
Nenana from the Kantishna district
recently, expresses the belief that
no harm has befalled Ed Jem, con
cerning whose safety some anxiety
was felt because of his not having
lieen seen for some little time. The
recent removal of a sled belonging
to Jem. from his camp on Little
Moose, and sleigh tracks leading
toward the country in which Jem is
prospecting, are regarded as reas
suring evidence that the oldtimer is
all right, although no one has seen
him lately.
