FIRST ICE APPEARS
BOATS LEAVE RIVER
The first ice of the season appeared in
the Tanana river in front o! town Tues
day morniug. That similar conditions
prevailed above and below Xenana is in
dicated by the fact that the sailings of
nearlr ail of the boats le*t on the river
at that time were cancelled. 'The steam
er Shusana was billed out of Fairbanks
on Monday on her last trip down, but
the siding was abandoned and the boat
laid up iu winter quarters instead.

Among the Builders J
Favorable weather conditions the pa‘t
week have enabled those engaged in
erecting buildings to make a good show
ing. Buildings which a week ago were
scarcely started are now well along to
wards completion, and another week
will see a number of them occupied.
The Gliezzi building on A street, be
tween First and Second, is rapidly assum
ing shape, the frame work is nearly
completed and inside of another few
days the roof will probably be on.
The Adams bniiding, on the same side
of A street, but in the next block to
wards the river, is also r.earing com
pletion. This building will be two
stories in height on the A street side
and is so constructed that the second
store can be extended the full length of
the building if desired.
Walter Skof. who is putting up a two
storv building on Market street, is well

pied by Thompson & Gagnon's drug
store.
The Rappolt bakery building on the
west side of A street has been finished,
including the large plate-glass front
which was installed during the past
w eek. It will be some little time, how
ever. before Mr. Rappolt will be ready

done on the interior of the building.

building on the corner of First and A is
