OLDTIMER SAYS
IS
Joe Mathew*, Port Engineer of
A. Y. N. Company, Say* Interior
Will Not Suffer.
In the opinion of Joe R. Mathews,
port engineer of the American Yukon
Navigation company, with head
quarters at St. Michael, the estab
lishment of a salmon cannery at
Andreafsky will not interfere in the
slightest with the run of fish up the
Yukon. The fears of Interior Alas
kans, he says, are without grounds,
for the reason that the fish are
sufficiently plentiful to keep several
canneries going throughout the sea
* I son and still leave more than can
* I be used by the combined native and
i white population of the Interior
I country.
► i
“You folks on the Tanana river”
! Mr. Mathews declared to a repre
| sentative of the News yesterday, “will
I never know that a cannery is in
! operation at Andreafsky, and several
! additional canneries could be estab
* ! lished there without seriously inter
* j fering with the summer’s catch on
the upper Yukon and tributaries
above Andreafsky.”
“Millions of salmon now go to
waste annually in Interior Alaska,”
continued the oldtimer, “and if the
establishment of a cannery at Andre
afsky will help to reduce this wast
age, it will be benefitting the en
* 1 tire country. It will be real con
t1 servation.” He said that it is no
^ uncommon sight on the tributaries
» i
; of the Yukon to see thousands of
salmon dead along the shores. He
?! also declared that the natives fre
f quently catch far more fish than
? they can or will use. He says that
!► he has seen salmon stacked up like
I
<► ' cordwood near native camps, where
<► they have been left to spoil.
The only real objection to the es
’<*! tablisnment of a cannery, in the
k
> results in preventing many of the
^ fish from reaching their spawning
'+ grounds. This objection has been
^ | met in other sections of the territory
>- by establishing hatcheries and the
releasing of frye at an age which in
sures their safe arrival in the ocean
And Mr. Mathews believes hatcheries
will be established on the Yukon be
fore the fishing industry has been
materialy crippled.
Mr. Mathews is on his way to his
I post at St. Michael, after a winter
r , spent in the States. He went to
^ Fairbanks on the steamer Seattle
f No. 3 and is now enroute down river
f on that boat. It is the first time
in six years that he has visited the
^ ! upper Tanana. Before going to St.
^ J Michael, Mr. Mathews was in charge
! i of the heat and light department of
; jthe Northern Commercial company
i at Fairbanks.
DRAGLINE FORCE
AGAINJI WORK
i Big Excavato** Will Begin Operations
In Gravel Pit Not Far
From Town.
The entire crew of camp 22, with
all of the camp cars and equipment
and the Bucyrus dragline excavator,
which was brought into town on
Saturday night have again been sent
out to resume operations on a new
location selected by the Commisison
officials nearer t»wn.
The new location is about a mile
and a half out of town and near
? I the powder magazine. The dragline
i excavator was sent out yesterday
? with Walter Hollerbach and his crew
t to prepare the site and complete
arrangements for a switch and siding
to accommodate the gravel cars.
I The camp cars and crew went out
t this morning and it is expected that
the cars will be placed in position
on the opposite side of the track
’ from where the dragline will work.
' Geo. Markus, new general sotre
^ keeper in charge of the local com
missaries of the Alaskan Engineering
t commission, arrived from Fairbanks
t this afternoon, to assume his new
> duties.
Reports from out the line would
indicate that there is a marked fall
ing in the water level with indica
tions of a further drop later on.
The bridge on the wagon road span
ning Clear creek at a point about
half a mile below old Camp 10 has
been carried away and efforts are
now being made to establish a ferry
at this point so that the mail and
small quantities of much needed
equipment and supplies can be trans
ported to the various camps situated
beyond Lost Slough.
Two men left the camp at 20-mile
last Saturday afternoon in a boat,
with sufficient grub to last a few
days. It was intended that they
make their way up Clear creek from
its mouth to the point where the
ferry was stationed last year and
there establish camp and work the
ferry. It is reported that they found
the current to strong to buck and
were obliged to come on into town,
which they reached yesterday, some
time during the forenoon.
The men and the boat were sent
out on the train and it is expected
that the ferry across Clear creek
will be established and in good work
ing order today.
Ferry service has also been estab
J lished across the Lost Slough, the
1 crossing being made above the wing
i dam at the head of the slough, but
1 for the present, only very light loads
are handled with the mail and such
passengers as happen along whose
business calls them to points beyond
as well as those coming to town.
As soon as the waters have sub
sided sufficiently it is probable that
the Commission will make arrange
ments for the hauling of some freight
! between the ferries at Clear creek
| and Lost Slough.
] located about the middle of the big
| 1300-foo trestle across Lost Slough
! has been carried away, thereby rend
j ering the structure usless for any
; kind of traffic until it has been
thoroughly repaired. Prior to the
carrying away of the three bents and
the washing out of a large portion
| of the grade on the south side of ii'.e
j trestle by a change in the channel of
Lost Slough, it was proposed to deck
the trestle to permit of freight be
ing hauled across from the end or
steel to the camp at 20-mile. Exist
ing conditions have rendered such a
course impossible.
Owing to the abnormal conditions
now existing, coupled with the fact
that the telephone system is more
or less disorganized beyond camp
16, which is situated on the north
bank of Clear creek, approximately
16 miles out of town, the reports
from the more distantly situated
camps are on the most meager de
scription. It would appear, however,
that the condition of the big bridge
across the Nenana river at 43 mile
remains about the same as chronicled
in these columns before. Jt is not
definitely known just now wither
the necessary repairs will be under
taken as soon as the waters have
subsided or whether this work will
be postponed indefinitely and until
such time as through communica
tion will be established and the
freighting of the necessary construc
tion material and supplies are made
possible.
VICTORY IN PORT
'The launch Victory arrived from
Fairbanks this afternoon with a
number of passengers and a large
number of parcels for local people.
Among the passengers were: United
States District Attorney R. F. Roth,
Assistant District Attorney Harry E.
Pratt, J. Harmon Caskey, Geo. A
Coleman and George Markus.
Mr. Frederick D. Browne, engineer
in charge of this division of the Alas
kan Engineering commission, went
out this morning with the survey j
party who have been detailed to run ,
a survey line commencing at a point ^
near Fish creek and extending south- j
ward until the party operating from
35-mile camp are met. '
He will probably be out with the
party most of the time.
