The sailing of the steamer Alas
ka from Fairbanks on the return
voyage to Dawson will be somewhat
delayed this trip on account of in
spection, the government inspectors
now being in the upper town await
ing the arrival of the steamer. The
boat also will wash boilers while at
the upper town.
The Alaska had not reached Fair
banks at noon today, and it was
considered doubtful if the boat
would make her appearance there
until well along in the afternoon, in
which event the start downstream
will not be possible before tomorrow
night, bringing her here during the
night or early Saturday morning.

perintendent of the bureau of mines
station at Fairbanks.
The passengers disembarking at
Nenana were Pete Lulice, A1 Olson
and George Gravedahl. Those en

A. Davis, Mrs. George Allenwell,
Otto Hovlev and Teddy Anderson.
The launch was in port about an
hour, the departure for Fairbanks
being made at 7 o’clock.
Upon arrival at the upper town.
White will transfer to his nev
steamer, which he expects to fin<
ready to go into commission. Th<

ble earlier in the season, has beei

The usual advance in fall rate
on freight brought into Centra
Alaska by the White Pass compan;
will become effective this fall tei

BASEBALL BOYS
OF UPPER TOWN
EAGER 10 COME
The baseball fans of the upper
town, including the players them
selves, are enthusiastic over the
prospect of visiting Nenana next
week for a series of games with the
local aggregation, according to A!f
Ekeland, who returned from Fair
banks yesterday on the Peerless,
i There is no doubt, he says, that
Charlie Beam, manager of the Fair
banks team, will bring a large crowd
with him, if traveling accommoda
tions can be secured.
The Fairbanks team is a good
one, Ekeland says, and the meeting
with Nenana should mark the com
mencement of a lively season of
baseball, since the teams appear to
be very evenly matched. The Fair
banks players have the advantage,
however, of having had considerable
practice, but he believes the local
team can get into shape quickly,
now that it is assured the Fairbanks
ans will visit Nenana. The Fair
banks manager was warned to come
' prepared to find Nenanaites ready
I to back the local boys heavily,
f A letter received by Manager
■ Frank Doner yesterday from Man
i ager Beam contains a formal ac
ceptance of the invitation to visit
Nenan^ and announces the terms
■ upon which the series will be played,
which are acceptable to the Nenana
boys. One of the stipulations is
that Nenana guarantees the expenses
of the visitors, and another is that
a return series be played at Fair
| banks later in the season.
In order to insure sufficient re
ceipts to cover the cost of the
series, tickets will be sold in ad
’ vance of the games, at 50 cents
^ each. This plan, it is believed, will
1 prove more satisfactory than the
1 circulation of a subscription list as
. was done last year, and Manager
• Doner anticipates no difficulty in
• disposing of a large number of tick
■ ets before the series starts. Each
• ticket will be good for one admis
" sion only.
1 At the time Ekeland left Fa:r
• banks, there was talk of securing a
1 steamer for the excursion, but it
^ was believed the expense would be
e too great. The steamer Tanana is
' idle, but it would cost considerable
to put the boat in commission and
1 make the round trip, and it is doubt
" ful if a crew could be secured foi
e the voyage. The regular crew ol
3 the Tanana is now in the Koyukuk,
a aboard die Reliance. The only oth
n er steamer at Fairbanks is the Shu
sana, which is not a passenger car
rier.
1 George Moody, who was in N'e
nana this morning on his way uf
the river from the logjam, believe;
that he can make arrangements t<
handle a considerable crowd witr
his launch and a couple of barge;
e
which are available at Fairbanks. A
any rate, it is his intention to plae<
o i
his craft at the disposal of th<
excursionists, of whom he thinks h<
ic-an accommodate fifty or more.
! A dance at Union hall on th<
* ! night of July 26 will be arranget

SOMMERS PLANNING TRIP
TO TOLOVANA DISTRICT
S; Territorial Mine Inspector Rober
J. Sommers, who arrived at Fair

His present plan is to accompan

That the Knights of Columbus
have no intention of suspending
their soldier service inaugurated
during the war, even though hos
tilities have been suspended, is in
dicated by the presence in Alaska
of Thomas G. Ferguson, general
j secretary of the Knights of Colum
bus Committee on War Activities
■ for the Northwest division. This
official is now at Fort Gibbon, in
i
■ augurating a branch of the service
at the army post there, having ar
rived on the last trip of the steam
ier Alaska, direct from Haines, where
the Alaska work was inaugurated.,
The secretary came North with three
assistants, one of whom was left at
Haines. His wife accompanied him
to Gibbon.
While at Haines, Mr. Ferguson
closed a deal for the purchase of
the Haines theater by the Knights
of Columbus, and this will be used
in future exclusively by the sol- i
diers. Lumber was purchased at i
Juneau, for shipment to Haines for i
the erection of “huts” and other
[buildings planned by the Knights.
•The assistant left at Fort Seward
will be stationed there permanently
as camp secretary. A similar serv
ice, it is understood, is danned for
the soldiers at Gibbon and Nome.
The Knights of Columbus have
•entered war work activities perma
nently, says a recent issue of the
Juneau Empire, and it is their in
dention that no fort or army post,
■ regardless of how far removed from
the world’s activities, shall be with
out the benefits of the larger can
■tonments. Six thousand boxes of
: cigarettes were recently shipped to
'Alaska for the soldiers, and these
are distributed to the soldiers with
out charge. The motto of the K. C.
War Service is “Everybody Welcome
and Everything Free.” All that is
necessary is to be wearing a khaki
■ uniform.
‘The merits of the work of the
Knights of Columbus,” it was ex
plained to the Juneau paper by a
Knight of the Gastineau town, “has

ieral public, whose sons and broth
ers and husbands praised highly the

poured into their coffers, for their
policy of making everybody welcome
and of charging for nothing made
an instantaneous hit with the gen- ,
erous American public.
“It is the intention of the K. of C. 1
to step into the perilous gap be
tween the soldiers' leisure hours and
the varied temptations to which the
men are subjected during the mo
notonous hours of watchful wait
ling. Until now, the soldier boy
'who came up to a lonely Alaskan
armp post has been forgotten and
neglected, but henceforth, the K. of
11C. will see that he is given the same
conveniences as are given in a New
York harbor garrison.”
