CLUB 10 MEET
An adjourned meeting of the Ne
nana Commercial club will be held
on Tuesday evening of next week
for the especial purpose of consid
ering a plan to improve the winter
trail between Dunbar’s and the log
jam. with a view to making that'
route popular among freighters and
creating business for the Govern
ment railroad, and incidentally at
tracting some of the trade of the
Tolovana district tu Ne.nana. which,
is the nearest town to the Tolovana
diggings.
Very little work, it is said, is i
needed to put the logjam trail in j
excellent condition for winter travel. *
and it is believed that ail the
travel to and from the Tolovana j
will go that way, in preference to j
the mountainous Olnes route, if |
needed improvements are attended !
to at once, before winter freighting]
starts. i
The cuestion was brought up for !
i
discussion at the reguiar meeting
of the club held last night, but
owing to the absence of a number
of members directly concerned in
the matter, it was decided to defer
action until Tuesday.
This is a matter of great im
portance to Nenar.a. and the hope
is expressed by those responsible
for the movement that the business
men of the town will recognize
the possibilities of trade stimulation
through the plan suggested, at least
to the extent of attending the meet
ing Tuesday and taking part in the
deliberations.
VESSELS OF ALASKA
PASS THOUSAND MARK
For the first time in the history
of the Alaska customs district, the
number of vessels documented in
Alaska has passed the 1,000 mark.
The close of the fiscal year, June
30, found 1,018 vessels of all sizes
and classes registered with home
ports in Alaska. For some years
Alaska has been near the 1,000
mark in the number of vessels, but
never quite reached it.
The average size for vessels in
Alaska is not large, on account of
the great number of small craft en
gaged in the fisheries. The total
tonnage of the 1,018 vessels in' tStis
Territory is 79,584, an average of
a little over 78 tons each.
In addition to this vast registered
mosquito fleet, there are hundreds
of craft that are below 15 tons in
size, and therefore do not require
registering.
A CHILLY REMINDER
is that blighting first-frost. Look
ever your last year's underwear;
give attention to partly worn mack- '
inaws, jackets and fur coats, caps 1
and robes. Have them mended and
cleaned at moderate prices, before ■
winter sets in, by

SEATTLE—King Albert of Bel
gium may yet occupy a beautiful
home here, built especially for him
man, when, as crown prince of Bel
gium, Albert planned to visit Seat-:
tie during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition here in 1909.

been standing ready to receive its
royal guest, for Albert changed his *
plans and did not come to Seattle
during the fair. Now Albert, as
king of Belgium,, with Queen Eliza
beth and the crown prince, is tour
ing the Lnited States, and may come
to Seattle.
Mr. Hill, a personal friend of
King Albert, went to Europe re
cently and, as guest of the ruler, j
visited the Belgian battle lines.
“King Albert’s house.” as the
place is generally known here, stands '
in a fashionable residential section j
of the city, overlooking a portion I
of Puget sound. The house was j
built along lines of Belgian design
and was decorated as houses are J
decorated in Albert's native land. j
