Jack Lindsey, oldtimer of the
Fairbanks district, arrived at An
chorage on the last boat from the
States and will locate permanently
in the coast town, hating announc
ed that he is “back in Alaska to
stay.” He was accompanied by Mrs.
Lindsey and their three daughters.
James Trainor, who left for the
coast early in March, entered the
Government hospital upon arrival at'
Anchorage, where he is under the
care of Dr. Beeson.
Jim Dyer, formerly in the employ j
of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission at Nenana, recently under-’
went an operation at the Govern
ment hospital at Anchorage, for j
the removal of a growth on his J
jaw.
Lynn Smith, former Ruby jewel-!
er, who was recently" appointed
deputy marshal for the Iditarod
district, is now cr.route to his head
quarters at Flat by way of the
Rainy Pass trail. He left Anchorage
last Friday, together with a number
of oldtimers of the Kuskokwim and
Iditarod districts.
Lynn Goyne, brother of Walter i
Goyne, famous Alaska dog masher
who met his death late last year
in the icy waters of Moos Lake,:
near The Pas, arrived from the
State? on the Sunday train and
will join the A. E. C. forces as soon]
as work starts up. He brought copies
of the The Pas Herald with him,:
containing accounts of the tragic;
death of his brother and of the
tributes paid his memory by his;
many admirers in that region. It
appears that he plunged through
the ice on November 13, at a point'
about 22 paces from shore, and it
was nearly a month later when his j
body was recovered. It is supposed!
that he was making a dash for shore,
after having dropped into a crack
in the ice some distance out. He
was driving nine of his racing dogs
and had a number of pups running
loose, so close behind the sled that
two of them went down with the
team and sled. Young Goyne was
seated in the sled with a quilt hug
ged about him. and apparently over
come by the chill resulting from his
earlier bath that he was unable to
make an effort to save himself. The
dogs, however, were much tangled
in their harness, showing that they
made an heroic struggle to free
themselves. The outfit was seen
through the glare ice which formed
over the break where the disaster
occurred. The popular young mush
er was born at Pendleton, but came
to Alaska at an early age. He left
for The Pas in 1919 and won the
derby there the following year. He
entered again in 1921 but his dogs
were under trained and he was
compelled to withdraw before the
finish. At the time of his death he
was training his team for this
year's race and was confident of
winning. As evidence of his pop
ularity in the Canadian town, the
entire population turned out to at
tend his funeral, and all business
was suspended while the ceremonies
were in progress.
R. G. Southworth. editor of The
News, returned from Anchorage on:
Sunday, after an absence of three i
weeks and reports an enjoyable out
ing in the coast town.
Fred Van Raes, who has been
operating The News’ linotype since
the first of the month, returned to
his home in Fairbanks on Sunday.;
Ira Wood, transportation mar. of i
the Iditarod district, arrived at An- j
chorage recently enroute to Iditarod
from a winter in the States.

LOCAL PIONEERS PREPARING
BENEFIT FOR ED LAHERTY
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Pioneers of Nenana
for the big benefit to be given at
Union Hall on the night of April
first, for Ed Laherty, popular old
timer of Interior Alaska who is now
a patient in the Government hospi
tal at Anchorage, slowly recovering
from the effect o£ the amputation
of the major portions of both hands
and feet, which were frozen early
in the winter while the oldtimer
was working near Talkeetna. His
knees were also frosted so severely
that it is not yet known what the
final outcome will be.
The benefit will take the form of
a “98” dance, with all forms of
early-day gambling, and it is the
earnest hope of the committee in
charge of the affair that there will
be the usual generous response on
the part of the public, for the un
fortunate man is deserving of all
the help that can be given him.
Tickets for the benefit have al
ready been distributed for ‘sale, in
town and along the line.

paper.
It is stated positively that Anchor
age Elks will make a trip to Interior
Alaska to initiate candidates, but it
has not yet been definitely decided
when the trip will be made. There
is strong sentiment in favor of wait
ing until summer.
Officials of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission have under consid
eration the shipment of the stern
wheel steamer Matanuska from An
chorage to Xenana, for use on the,
Tnana river in connection with work!
planned for the coming summer. If
the plan is carried out, the,steamer
will be dismantled and sawed in

work heretofore done by the power
boat Midnight Sun.

the Sunday train from Anchorage,

at Anchorage, visited the Interior

“Judge” A. F. Stowe, who came
to the Interior several weeks ago

OLDTIMER BACK HOME
Frank Spira well known oldtime
Xenanaite returned home on Thurs
day’s Sourdough Limited after a
five months’ stay in the sunny south.
He will visit around a few days and
then leave for Circle district where
he will work with the Berry dredge
outfit on Mastodon creek.
The oldtimer states that condi
tions are not very good on the out
side, there were great numbers of
idle' men and the employment of
fices were besieged by thousands
daily. Wages were low. he said.
He met many Alaskans in the
States all of whom were talking of
coming north again, and those who
have the price to do so certainly
will, he added, as the States was
no place for an Alaskn, broke or
flush.
Mr. Spira states that everybody
he met, some of whom he knew
before and others he did not, were
talking about Nenana. both on the
outside and in the coast towns and
it seemed to him that they all knew
something about the bridge to be
built here and the grading work to
do and all wanted to come here, and
he thinks that there will be quite
a few men here this summer.
C. A. Schonacker. Alaska repre
sentative of the Zellerbach Paper
Company, arrived from the coast
on Sunday. He will spend this week
in Fairbanks and part of next week
in Xenana, before returning to the
coast. He represents several other
lines, including bakery supplies, the
Kohler Company, manufacturers of
electric lighting plants, ar.d the
Underwood typewriter.
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Vint, Mrs.
McXich and Mrs. Elms were among

Sunday train, enroute to Fairbanks
on a vacation trip. They reside in
Anchorage and probably will return
south on the next train. ,
