TRUSTEES TAKE
OATH OF OFFICE;
WORK STARTING
The members of the recently
elected board of trustees of the
town of Nenana were formally in
ducted into office last night by Com
missioner R. S. McDonald, who ad
ministered the oath and supplied
the board with a certificate of elec
tion, a formality that will be at
tended to hereafter by the clerk of
! the board.
Rules to govern the proceedings
of the board were discussed at some
length last night, as were also the
powers of the board. A set of
rules, similar to those in use by
councils in incorporated towns, w-ill
be arawn up for adoption at a
j later meeting, by which time also
! the board will be ready to begin
the work of framing ordinances.
Probably the first ordinance
adopted will be one for the regula
tion of dogs, and it is likely the
law will be framed similar to the
ordinance in force at Fairbanks,
where the owners of dogs are held
responsible. This question is now
being looked into thoroughly.
The next meeting of the board
w-ill be held on October 22.

WASHINGTON', D. C„ Oct. 2.—
Continuing his testimony before the
special committee of the senate, ap
pointed to investigate the steel
strike, -Judge Elbert H. Gary, of
the Un:._ 1 States Steel corporation,
made denial today of the charge of
the unions that his company had
employed foreigners to prevent the
employes from unionizing. He ex
pressed the belief that foreign em
ployes had largely participated in
the strike movement, under the lead
ership of outsiders.
The judge declared that he would
close the corporation's plants rather
than employ men disloyal to the
country, and expressed the belief
that the strikers would terminate
the present trouble quickly if per
mitted to do so by the men re
sponsible for the strike.
Gary sai^ that under no circum
stances would he meet with the
union representatives.
WILLIAMS GRANTED
TIME FOR COUNSEL
At the request of Charles Will
iams, colored Fairbanks messenger,
who was placed under arrest in the
upper town this week on the charge
of having liquor in h's possession.
Commissioner Heilig has granted a
stay of proceedings until . ,e return
to Fairbanks of Attorney Tom Mar
quam. whom William? wants to de
ft nd him. Marquam is now on a
hunting trip, and pend:ng his return;
Williams is out on bail.
The defense of William? probably j
will be that he is a messenger and |
unaware of the contents of pack- i
ages carried by him.

BURNS MINE IS
SHIPPING COAL
FOR LOCAL USE
—
The first carload of coal from
jthe Burns mine near Lignite, for
use by private consumers in town,
'reached Nenana yesterday afternoon
from the end of steel, the entire
shipment of thirty tons being con
signed to Tom Smith, proprietor of
the Southern hotel.
1 The shipment marks the com
mencement of regular deliveries of
coal in town, as well as to the Com
mission. About 200 tons have been
received from the mine since the
resumption of traffic to the end of
steel, all but the carload for Mr.
Smith having been delivered at the
Commission bunkers for the power
plant. The coal, for the most part,
came from the bunkers at the mine
and from the dump, having been
mined some time ago.
Mining operations on a compre
hensive scale will be started next
week, and within a very short time
the output probably will reach 100
tons daily. Screens are to be in
stalled for sorting and cleaning the
ccal. which will insure much better
results than have been possible here
tofore. and Mr. Burns is confident
the fuel will be found satisfactory
in every way as a substitute for
wood.
Some delay in resuming opera
tions at the mine was occasioned by
the shortage of suitable powder, it
having been found that TNT. of
which the Commission has had a
considerable supply for some time, I
is not a safe explosive for mine use.
The fumes are very poisonous, en
dangering the lives of those who
inhale them, and there is also some j
danger attached to the loading, bo- j
cause of the poisonous composition .
of the explosive. Government au- j
thorities warn against the use of j
TNT in coal mines.
When operations are resumed. 20 j
percent stump powder, of which j
there is considerable now available, j
will be used.
BODIES OF MISSING
AVIATORS ARE FOUND
NOGALES. Ariz.. Oct. 2.—The
bodies of two men, believed to be

erican aviators, Waterhouse and |
'!
Connolly, have been found on thej
Mexican coast, about 300 miles
south of San Diego. The bodies
Were partially buried.
