FERRV MCE
The question of establishing; a
ferry service across the Tanana
river for the convenience of the
many men of the A. E. C. who will
be established in camps across the
river during- the coming season, was
discussed at some length at the
meeting of the Commercial club last
night
It was felt by the club that ie
matter did not proprly wane within
the scope of the club’s activities,
and beyond endorsing the proposi
tion, did not take any further steps
towards its establishment.
The businessmen of the town, who
will be most benefitted by the visits
of the men from across the river
will, it is understood, get together
and formulate a scheme for run
ning a free ferry, for the benefit
of such of the men who may wish
to spend their evenings in town.
The proposed free ferry service
will commence after a certain hour
every evening and will continue up
to a late hour at night, so that
the men may be enabled to return
to their camps to turn to for duty
on time next morning. The hours
within which the ferry will operate
will be fixed at the meeting to be
held by the businessmen, due noti
fication of which will be given.
A committee of the business men
waited on Mr. Browne and learned
from that official that the A. E. C.
will establish ferry service across the
r:ver for the purpose of ferrying
over men and supplies, during work
ing hours only, viz from 8 a. m.
to 5 p. m. The committee also
learned that quite a large force of
men would be stationed in the
neighborhood of camp 415, at the
foot of the bluff across the river,
for a period of about a month or
six weeks, after which time they
would probably move farther along
the line toward Fairbanks. It may
not then be convenient or desirable
for them to come across to Xenana
for such supplies as they may need,
and in view of this fact it is alto
gether likely that the proposed free
ferry service will be established and

maintained only until such time as
the men remain encamped near the
town.

EINAR TONSETH REPORTED

her son Corporal Einar Tonseth was
seriously ill with intestinal trouble.
NENANA'S NEFDS
ARE DISCUSSED
AT CLUB MEET
The regular meeting of the Ne
nana ommercial club was held last
night at the club chambers in the
Union Hall. With quite a large
attendance of the membership.
Chairman McDonald called the
meeting to order shortly after 8
o'clock.
After the usual preliminaries had
been disposed of, the secretary read
communications to Delegate Sulzer
regarding the freight rates on the
government railroad on emigrant
outfits, mining and agricultural
machinery and relative to obtaining
press rates on telegrams sent by
the club to similar commercial
bodies, the territorial legislature
and the delegate from Alaska, cover
ing business matters. A communi
cation from Major Waugh, address
ed to F. D. Browne, requesting in
formation regarding the proposed
road to the Kantishna mining dis
trict was also read. The detailed
information asked for in Major
Waugh’s letter had already been
mailed, Mr. Browne said
Mr. Browne, as chairman of the
power plant committee, thought
•hat the ground had been very thor
oughly covered by the Alaska Chap
ter of the Mining Congress, who
had also taken proper steps to fur
ther the scheme for the establish
ment of the plant. He therefore
moved that the Nenana Commercial
flub support and endorse the ac
tion already taken by the Fair-'
oanks Chapter of the Mining Con
gress and render all possible aid,'
when necessary, toward the accom
plishment of the great scheme. The
flub, which was in accord with Mr.
Browne's suggestion, unanimously
idcpted the resolution.
Mr. Browne then gave some inter
esting facts regarding the recent
foal tests. The exact figures, he
•aid, will not be available for
publication until after the tests
lave been duly approved and veri
fied, but a rough estimate from
:he tests made showed that in heat
ng value a trifle over a ton of
:h’e raw coal was equal to a cord
>f good dry wood. When the rela
ive values of the wood and coal '•
ire taken into consideraticn, how-;
•ver, it would be found that the
roa! is far superior as a fuel. With
t little drying, the coal will give
>etter results than the tests dis- \
dosed. The freight rate on the
■oal from the mine to Nenana has*
lot been definitely fixed as yet, i
jut Mr. Browne thought that it
will be ir, the neighborhood of SI.25:
oer long ton.
The matter of a free ferry across'
Lhe river, and fire protection for
Nenana were next discussed, and a
full account of these matters will
be found elsewhere in these col
umns, as will also the matter of
Arbor Day.
The question of sprinkling the
pools and marshy places around
town with oil for the purpose of
abating the mosquito nuisance was
taken up. After some desultory
discussion, a statement was made
by Townsite Manager Carl Schmidt
to the effect that the matter would
be attended to by the townsite
authorities.
The quesion of the summer mail
service was next discussed at length
as a result of which a resolution
was adopted empowering the secre
tary to make arrangements, if
possible with Postoffice Inspector
Wetzler, with a view' to getting a
more frequent service than the
weekly one performed by the regu
lar steamboat line.
Mr. Southworth called the at
tention of the club to the fact
that during last season the boats
of the White Pass Co. invariably
left Fairbanks at an hour which
brought them here during the night,
when the citizens are in bed,
as a general rule, and suggested
that some action be taken by the
club to induce the company to so
arrange their sailings from Fair
banks as will insure the arrival of
their boats at a !es6 inconvenient
hour. The suggestion was acted

ried, the meeting was adjourned.
