LATEST NEWS OF
Among the arrivals at Fairbanks
on last night’s auto stage from the
! coast was Theodore Johnson, former
ly of the E. R. Peoples establish
'ment, who made the trip to Interior
{Alaska direct from the States, cover
ing the distance in 11 days.
I Conditions on the Outside, Mr.
Johnson says, are very abnormal,
w'ith prices at such altitudes that
living has become a serious problem
to people of moderate means. Meals
and apartments are especially high
priced in the coast cities, he says,
and everything else is much more
; costly than it should be.
| Seattle was recently rather hard
hit by a suspension of work in the
shipyards. Thousands of men were
thrown out of employment and there
are many idle workers there at the
present time, some of them in very
bad circumstances financially. The
cutting off of the big payroll is also
being felt by Seattle business con
cerns.
! Rough lumber is selling: at $50
i per thousand in Seattle just now,
Mr. Johnson reports, and the lum
bermen seem to be unable to supply
; the demand even at that price. Pre
vailing high prices have made it pos
jsible for the mills on the Alaska
coast to ship lumber to the States,
and Roy Rutherford, formerly of
■ Fairbanks, is among the Northerners
'who are being benefited. He is
making a fortune shipping lumber
as far East as New York.
Mr. Johnson says the Republicans
' are being accused of responsibility
for existing conditions, but even at
ithat. he believes Senator Harding
will be the next President. The im
pression seems to be general that
the Republicans are going to win
I in November.
I Th eoldtimer saw many former
Alaskans in Seattle and elsewhere
along the coast. Frank B. Hall,
‘formerly attached to the courthouse
staff at Fairbanks and later selling
agent for the Ewing Realty company
in Seattle, now has a position as
salesman for the Tru-filu Biscuit
company and is located at Twin
Falls, Idaho.
Frank Burgess has settled in Se
attle, after a round of the country.

IN VERYGOOD TIME
Mail Contractor Tom Gibson made
his first delivery of mail at Fair
banks last night, establishing a rec
ord that will insure a splendid serv
ice between Interior Alaska and
jthe States if the same fast time is
maintained throughout the summer.
The mail shipment, came through in
eleven days from Seattle, not the
best time that has been made by
that route, but a big improvement
over the service of the past winter.
The shipment consisted of a large
quantity of first class matter.-a con
siderable part of- which was ad
dressed to Nenana and arrived on
today’s train from the upper town.
The stage also brought two passen
gers—Miss M. Edelbrock, a Cordova
school teacher, and Theodore John
son.
The mail car made the run in
from Donnelly’s yesterday, reaching
the upper town at ten o’clock last
night.

VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM
FOR THURSDAY NIGHT
Several new vaudeville numbers
will form part of the program at the
Coliseum on Thursday night, and
should the innovation meet with such
approval as Manager Burns antici
pates, new features of that charac
ter will be arranged regularly, at
least once a week. In addition to
the vaudeville numbers, the show on
Thursday will include a late Pathe
and a two-reel popular Mack Sen
nett comedy.
The vaudeville numbers will in
clude a cornet solo by Mr. Walter
Miller, which will be his first ap
pearance before a Xenana audience:
a vocal solo by Miss Valentine An
derson, and a dancing turn by Mrs.
Leon Kellum and Miss Margaret
Southworth.
R. M. Brown returned to Fair
banks on this afternoon’s train, after
a stay of several days in Xenana.
FAIRBANKS WILL
COME 10 I NANA
FOR BALL GAMES
It has been definitely decided by
■the ball players of Fairbanks to
; accept Xenana’s invitation to play a
^series of games here on July third
jand fourth, and arrangements are
now being made with the manage
ment of the Tanana Valley railroad
for an excursion train to bring the
crowd down from the upper town,
the belief prevailing in Fairbanks
that a large number of fans will
accompany the players on the trip.
According to the plans of those
who are making the arrangements
;for the train, it is the intention to
! leave Fairbanks at one o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, to play a game on
Saturday evening and another on
Sunday, and to return to the upper
town Sunday night, with the mem
bers of the Xenana ball team. The
'third game of the series will be
j played in the upper town on Mon
;day, as a special feature of the Fair
banks' celebration.
It is understood that an effort will
I be made by the Xenana celebration
■committee to induce Julius Ander
son to bring his fast motorboat down
I on Saturday also, to compete with
■local racing craft. If satisfactory
■arrangements can be made, a race
probably will be arranged for Sun
day, as part of the Xenana celebra
tion. Xenana has two fast boats,
but a third entrant would add con
siderably to the interest in a race.
MIDNIGHT SUN DANCE
COMING FOR SATURDAY
In the absence of a more formal
j observance of the Festival of the
Midnight Sun, the typical Alaskan
holiday will be celebrated in N'enana
‘with an informal dance, to be held
at Union hall, Saturday night, June
19, according to announcement made
today.
Music for the dance will be pro
vided by Prof. Ernst Berggren.
Joe O’Connor, who was critically
ill at the Government hospital for
I several weeks, was removed to his
apartments in the Terminal today
j and hopes soon to be able to give
i his attention to business again.
