FAIRBORN WAS PEEVED
OVER FUNERAL STAGED
Arrivals from Fairbanks bring the
report that Jim Fairborn, agent of
the American-Yukon Navigation com
pany at the upper town, was con
siderably peeved as a result of the
excitement caused by the returning
baseball excursionists. He would not
speak to anyone for about three
hours, but finally admitted that the
stunt was one of the best ever ]
pulled during his long residence in j
the Xorth.
The thing that worried Jim was
i the thought that serious trouble had
| occurred on a boat over which he
had charge. The shock almost put
ihim out of business.

CONTRACTORS COMPLETE
CUT NORTH OF NENANA
Herman Magnusson and his part
ner, Xels Olson, who have been
engaged during the greater part of
the present season in running a cut
near Standard creek for the Gov
ernment railroad, have completed
their work and are now in town for
settlement and for a well-earned
rest. About 5,000 yards of materi
al, for the most part frozen, was
removed from the cut, a considera
ble quantity of powder having been
used in the operations.
Magnusson had three partners
when the work started, but two of
them withdrew from the firm early
in the season, when weather condi
tions rendered the work difficult
and discouraging, leaving Magnusson
and Olson to complete the job.
BLUEBERRIES COMMAND
UNUSUALLY HIGH PRICE
I The demand for blueberries in
Xenana continues steady, notwith
j standing the fact that the price
j remains at 25 cents a pound, an
f unusually stiff price for this season
i of the year, especially when it is
| considered that the berries are more
| plentiful than usual this year.
This condition is explained by the
j fact that there is a market at Fair
: banks for all berries picked in that
district, more persons than usual,
seemingly, being engaged this sea
son in putting down the berries for
; winter consumption. Practically all
ithe berries used in Xenana come
ifrom the Fairbanks district.
A shipment of considerably more
j than 200 pounds came down river
on the steamer Carl White last night
i for local sale.

WORK TO START
ON NEW BRIDGE
IN SHORT TIME
The work of driving piling for
the new bridge which is to span |
the Nenana river at 43-mile will be j
started within the next few days,
under the direction of Sid Sheldon.
Preparations are now being made
for the work and it is expected that
a start will be made not later than
[Sunday. The piles for the struc
ture, which were cut by William
McDougall and rafted down the
Tanana river to the commission j
! yards, already have been delivered
at Nenana Crossing, where they are
waiting to be set in place by the
railroad piledriver.
The bridge will be ready for traf
fic, it is expected, about three weeks
after the work is started.
When that work is completed, the
piledriver crew will move to a point
beyond the Crossing, about half-way
between the river and the Bums
coal mine, where there is another
bridge to replace, the original struc
ture having been washed out by
high water after the loss of the big
bridge at 43-mile. When both these ’
bridges have been completed, it will
be possible to resume traffic between |
town and the end of steel, near Lig- i
nite.
The Nenana river bridge was
■washed out by high water during
the early part of June, since which
time no trains have passed beyond
the river. Supplies for camps south
of the Crossing are delivered at the
river by train, ferried across the
stream in small boats, and then j
moved to the end of steel by push- j
cars and by team.
The reconstruction of the destroy- •
ed bridge was started during the'
latter part of June, but the work j
was abandoned after a few piles j
had been driven. It is believed, j
however, that the bridge can be re- i
built now without fear of further j
trouble from high water.

FARMERS ARE ANXIOUS
FOR GOATS TO ARRIVE
Farmers of the Fairbanks district
are very much interested in the
movement, started some time ago,
to bring in a number of thorough
bred goats for distribution among
the oldtimers there. Orders have
been placed in the States for forty
of the animals, but thus far no!
i i
purchases have been made, owing
ito the scarcity of desirable stock’
(Outside. And it is now feared that
another season will pass without se-1
curing the animals,
j It has been demonstrated that
goats of a certain variety can be
maintained successfully in Interior
Alaska, several having been import
ed already by the Government ex
periment station, where the animals
i are doing well.
