WILLIAM CASEY
ENJOYING LIFE
William Casey, who was one of
the first Fairbanksans to settle in
Nenana, and who is now temporarily
settled down on his ranch near
Napa, California, writing under date
of December 9, says that Bill Ken
yon, a fromer employee of the A. E.
C. store department, is now with
him on the ranch and that they are
comfortably off and enjoying life.
He says that there were a very
large number of deaths from the
“flu" in Napa, but that for the last
ten days the authorities have about
stamped out the disease. San Fran
cisco papers of December 8, said
that the people would have to go
back to wearing masks, and the dis
ease was said to be very bad in
Los Angeles.
He tells of a visit he paid re
cently to San Francisco and of meet
ing many Alaskans at Robinson’s
hotel Harry Abercrombie, former
anesthetist in the Commission hos
pital here, is in Frisco, and at the
time Casey saw him was not doing
anything.
M. R. Healey, former bookkeeper
in the store dept of the A. E. C., is
working at the Mare Island navy
yard in Vallejo.
C. .1. Hurley, of the now defunct
American Rank of Alaska, was also
met with in Vallejo.
Adolf Bruning, who was with
Hurley in the bank when the crash
came and who for some time acted
as receiver, was in Napa recently
He was visiing L. B. Rhoads, one
of the owners of the famous Rhoads
Hall mine and stamp mill, and the
only surviving partner of the min
ing concern.
Bill McPhee is reported to be
around San Francisco, and when last
seen was looking well and hearty.
Tom McGowan, well known Fair
banks attorney and partner of the
firm of McGowan & Clark, he says
is still alive, but very low, and
Casey thinks he cannot last much
longer.
He also speaks of having met Mrs.
Dick Woods at a show in Frisco.
She had sold a large apartment
house recently.
The oldtimer thinks that times
are going to be very dull in Frisco
pretty soon, by reason of the fact
that a large number of men are be
ing laid off steadily and the ranks
of the idle are growing in number
daily. He says that 2000 men were
laid off at the Mare Island navy
yard alone during November.
He extends the season’s greetings
and best wishes for the New Year
to all his Nenana friends.

JACK UNDERWOOD
AT WASHINGTON NOW
Jack Underwood, formrely of
Nome, and for many years a special
writer and reporter for the Seattle
Times, specializing on Alaskan mat
ters, and author of “Alska, an Em
pire in the Making,” has been added
to the Seattle Times Washington
City staff. He will work under W.
W. Jerent, the Times regular ecAres
pondent at that place, giving special
attention to Seattle, Alaska and
Northwest matters.
Richard B. Ward, former assistant
engineer with the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission, is planning on com
ing back to Alaska and may be
expected to arrive in Nenana in
about a month’s time. Shortly after
his discharge from the army officers
training school at Fort Humphrey,
Virginia, he got in communication
wuh F. D. Browne, in charge in re
gard to reentering the service of the
A. E. C., and Mr. Browne said that
he would be given a position on
the engineering staff when he ar
rived.
Hick came into the Interior with
the first party of locating engineers
and has been in the service ever
since, and, until he relinquished his
position to answer the country’s
call. He rose steadily in the service
from transitman to assistant engin
eer, which position he held until
called to the colors.
He saw the ice come and go
several times, and became a sour
dough; and, in his decided prefer
ence at all times for things Alaskan,
demonstarted that he was a sour
dough of the finest type. His action
in expressing his desire to be back
in Nenana indicates, beyond the
shadow of a doubt, that his heart
is in the Northland, and that Dick
will be welcomed with open arms
is but a foregone conclusion.
Dick was an all around athlete
and took a prominent part in the
sports of the town, and by his
affable ways and genial disposition
at all times endeared himself to all
with whom lie came in contact; and
all those who know him will most
cordially welcome him back to the
scenes of his former labors.
