CENSUS RETURNS
OF VALLEY TOWNS
SEATTLE, Aup. 24.—The total ’
population of Alaska will not ex- i
i
ceed 57,000 persons, according to a'
statement issued by W. T. Lopp, j
chief of the Alaska division of the i
Federal bureau of education, and
based on unofficial estimate? made I
by himself. Of this total it is ■
thought that the final figures will ■
show between 30.000 and 35,000
whites, the rest being natives.
At the time of the above state
ment, Mr. Lopp announced figures'
for several Interior towns as fol-'
lows: Fairbanks 1,158, Xenana 820,
Tanana 212, Fort Yukon 319, Xu
lato 258. The figures for Fair-!
banks show a startling loss in popu-'
lation from that of 1910, at which
time the census showed 3,541. It,;
however, compares favorably with
conservative estimates of Fairbanks
people, who have claimed about
1,200 residents. Xenana’s popula
tion of 820 was drawn to a large
extent from Fairbanks, former resi
dents of the latter town being em-1
ployed by the Alaskan Engineering
commission and now living at Xe-'
nana. This is an entirely new town
and not shown on the 1910 census,
being developed by the construction
of the Government railroad. i
NuUto Gains Slightly.
Tanana, situated at the confluence
of the Yukon and Tanana rivers,1
also lost slightly in population, its
count in 1910 being 398. Fort Y'u- i
kon for the decade shows a loss of
but two residents, its 1910 census"
total being 321. Xulato, which is
largely an Indian village, site of '
one of the most powerful army radio (
stations in the Territory, shows a 1
gain of 28 inhabitants for the same '
period, its 1910 count being 230. j
Returns from a number of points .
on the Arctic coast and Kotzebue
sound are yet to be received, and ■'
when these are in Mr. Lopp can !
make up an official estimate of the i
Territory’s population.
Total Show* Decrease.
The total population shown by !
the unofficial estimates is smaller;
by about 11 percent than the cen-;
sus returns for 1910, when it was i
estimated that Alaska had 64,356
inhabitants. A large part of this
loss can be accounted for by the
depression in Interior and Far
Xorthern gold mining camps, many :
of whose citizens have departed for :
the States during the past four ’
years.

BLACK SCOW FlUNDERS;
FUTJHS SOAKED
A heavily-laden scow in tow of
the George Black steamer Pioneer,
enroute from Fairbanks to the Kan
tishna, was nearly lost yesterday
about ten miles above Nenana, the
accident being the result of a horse
falling overboard and pulling the
nose of the scow under water. The
outfit nearly foundered before the
horse could be cut loose.
When the steamer reached Ne
nana late yesterday afternoon, it
was learned that the bulk of the
cargo on the scow had been soaked
and much of it will be practically a
total loss. Some of the cargo was
covered by insurance and some was
not.
The horse which caused all the
trouble was a passenger on the
scow, enroute to the Vachon trading
post at Tolovana. He fell over
board while the outfit was still in
the slough, above Chena, but the
water was shallow there and no
damage resulted. Where the second
mishap occurred the water was deep
and it was found necessary to cut
the horse loose.
Captain Black plans to resume his
voyage to the Kantishna tomorrow.
