NEW BUT HEBE
FROM UP RIVER;
|
A new stern-wheel gasoline-pro
pelled craft, which left the ways at
Fairbanks this week, arrived from
the up-river town at an early hour
this morning, on her maiden voyage,
being headed for the Tolovana river,
cn which stream the boat will op
erate, between the logjam and the
headwaters.
The boat is a 40-foot freighter,
of very light draft, to navigate the
bars of the shallow upper Tolovana,
and is equipped with a 14-20 Red
Wing engine, connected with the
wheel gearing by a shaft two-third t
I the length of the boat, made flexi
ble by two knuckle-joints. Thj
wheel is chain driven and is capa
ble of developing lots of speed.
The Brooks, as the new craft is
known, left Fairbanks late last eve
ning and came down river to within
! three miles of N'enana. when dark
jness interrupted the voyage. The
running time down stream, between
the two towns, was six hours. The
voyage to the Tolovana was re
sumed after a brief stop here and
the boat will proceed to the upper
waters of that stream, above the
logjam, where it will be operated
'during the remainder of the season.
The Brooks is owned by Q. E.
Steelman, an oldtimer of the Fair
banks and Tolovana districts, and a
man who has had considerable ex
perience with gas engines. His only
passenger down was a man named
Stanley, who is taking a cargo of
fresh vegetables into the Tolovana.
At the mouth of the Tolovana,
the Brooks will be boarded by
George Preston and George Hunter,
two Fairbanks businessmen, who are
making the voyage down from the
upper town on the steamer Alaska.

BASEBALL FANS
Today’s advices from Fairbanks
indicate that the plans for the base
ball excursion, scheduled to leave
Fairbanks on the steamer Tanana at
seven o'clock tomorrow morning, are
working- out in a manner entirely
satisfactory to those in charge of
the arrangements, and the indica
tions this noon were that fully 100
Fairbanksans would make the voy
age down river, including the ball
team and a band of eleven pieces
to enliven the ride on the steamer
and to furnish music during the
Up to last night fifty reservations
;had been made for the trip, and a
number of additional requests for
tickets were recorded this morning,
bringing the number well up to the
limit necessary to cover the cost of
the excursion. The Tanana has
been chartered outright by the base
ball committee and round-trip tick
ets are being sold at $10 each, not
including meals, to defray the ex
pense incurred.
The Tanana will leave Fairbanks
at seven tomorrow morning, and
should arrive here during the early
afternoon, by two o’clock if the
boat does not stop on the way to
load wood. Returning, the steamer
will start up river Sunday night, not
later than ten o’clock, that being
the limit fixed by the company to
insure the early return of the Tan
ana in order that the Reliance may
get away for the Koyukuk on Mon
day.
Manager Fischer announces that
he will have everything in readiness
fot; the opening game of the series,
which is scheduled to start at 3:30
Saturday afternoon. And he will
see tc it also that there is a big
crowd on hand at the waterfront
to welcome the visitors. In this;
connection, it has been suggested ,
that the Tanana land at the foot of
A street, outside the jurisdiction of
the war department.
The opening game will be fol- ;
lowed tomorrow night by a dance at i
Union hall, and the two concluding
games of the series will be played'
on Sunday.
The two teams will be composed j
of players who have already taken'
part in games this season, so that
betters need not be disturbed by re
ports of “dark horses.” There will
be none.
Purse Fuad Grows.
The money for the $500 purse
for which the two teams will com
pete is being raised by .subscription,
several lists having been started at
noon today, when it was known for
certain that the Fairbanks team
would come to N'enana. Andy Hoey
reports that up to four o’clock this
afternoon the Terminal list showed
I
a total of $350, and he estimates
that the other lists will bring the
total close to the $400 mark, which
practically insures sufficient money
to cover the purse and the expenses !
of the visiting team. J

LATE ARRIVALS
BRING NEWS OF
“Yon people up here may as well
begin to figure on buying your sal
mon in cans, shipped in to you frorfl
the States, for it will not be long
before the seasonal run of fish up
the rivers of Interior Alaska will be
a thing of the past, if that cannery
near the mouth of the Yukon is
permitted to continue operations,
unrestricted by regulations.” Thus
spoke an oldtime Alaskan to a rep
resentative of The News upon his
arrival, a few days ago, from the
lower Yukon, where he saw ample
evidence of the harm that is being
wrought to the salmon industry by
the floating' cannery that is being
operated by the Carlisle Packing
company at the mouth of Kwiguk
slough, on the south mouth of the
Yukon river.
So thoroughly was the fishing
done during the run of king salmon
that few of the fish escaped the
nets and fish-wheels which filled the
stream, from Bering sea to the
point where the main river divides,
a short distance below- Andreafski.
As described to The News, the sys
tem of fishing is the most efficient
imaginable, insuring a maximum of
salmon for the cannery—and a
minimum for the natives and whites
living above the cannery.
All along the Yukon, and on the
side streams, the natives, who de
pend largely upon the salmon for
a living, were waiting in vain for
the fish to arrive. Their wheels re
volved idly in the current and the
fish-racks were as bare as the day
they were erected. A few fish
escaped the canners, it is true, but,
like those caught by Nenana fish
ermen, practically all the large ones
bore seine marks and were unfit for
human consumption.
As already explained in these col
umns, the real menace of the can
nery is not in the present scarcity
of fish, but in the future total and
permanent depletion of the supply—
in preventing the fish from return
ing to their spawning grounds on
the tributaries of the Yukon river.
At the present rate, it will not take
long to fish the Y’ukon “dry.”
The Government, declare those
who know what the conditions are,
is not giving Alaskans any protec
tion against the cannery demands
for wholesale slaughter. The regu
lations thus far inaugurated, and as
enforced, it is claimed are a farce.
For instance, it is pointed out, the
Government came to the rescue of
Northerners, when a protest was
filed against the establishment of a
cannery at Andreafski last year, by
e-losing Kwiguk slough to the fisher
men. This slough is a very unim
portant channel of the Yukon river,
flowing from the south mouth of
the river a short distance from
Bering sea. The south mouth prop
er is the main channel, and it is up
that stream that nearly all the sal
mon make their way to the upper
river. And that is where the fish
ing is being done.
The Carlisle cannery is a floating |
concern, easily moved from one
place to another when occasion de
mands. And when the Yukon has
been emptied of its fish, the outfit
probably will be moved to another
part of Alaska to continue its work
of destruction. It is not an Alas
kan institution, and while employ
ment is given to some Alaskans, a
very considerable part of the force
engaged is imported from the States
for the season, as is done by the
canneries operating along the coast
of Alaska. The imported help get
the best positions, the best fishing
locations and the most considerate
treatment in other respects, it is
claimed.
