I MAKE APPEAL FOR DOCTOR
Efforts are being made by the'
i residents of the Koyukuk district, to
have a doctor appointed U. S. com
i missioner in order that sufficient in-;
, ducement may be held out to some
1 medical man to locate in that remote
‘region. The need of a doctor in the (
* district, they argue, is much more
I urgent than the need of a com
i missioner. hut the population is no:
| sufficiently large to attract a doctor
Therefore the effort to secure the
j appointment of a man who can
! serve the district in a dual capacity.
Xews of the original move on the
part of the Koyukukers was brought
to Xenana bv Harry Owens, well
! known oldtimer who arrived in town
i several days ago with Charley Peter
• son. He reports that a petition was |
I recently circulated among the people j
! of the distant district, asking the ap
j pointment of a doctor to succeed
j the present commissioner but, up to
j the lime he left for Xenana, nothing
■ had come of it. and it is believed
: that no change will be made until
: the Republicans assume charge >f
' affairs in the Fourth division.
' Owens says there is very little
mining in progress in the Koyukuk
this winter, but quite a number of
fmen are scattered over the district
looking for new paystreaks. The ex
‘ cessive cost of supplies has retard
‘ ed operations there, just as it has
i in other sections of the territory,
! and to a greater degree because of
; the distance of the region from the
Yukon river.
The Kovukuk was visited recently
i
i bv a number of natives from the
i
! Arctic hills, some of them getting
; their first glimpse of civilization.
• Thev ventured into the district on a
i
j trading expedition, long deferred on
• account of ear!y-day hostility of the
j Kovukuk natives. Mr. Owens was
| given a pipe by one of them, and
| which is a rare curio. He also tells
of a bear skin brought in by the
| visitors, measuring 13 feet in length,
• with part of the head missing.
| Mrs. Rost returned to town yes
terday from the canyon district.

Manager George Preston, of the
X. C. company, who returned on ,
i
Tuesday from a visit to Xenana
canyon, accompanied by Ed Clausen,
returned to town very enthusiastic
over the future of the Interior
country. He believes the Coal from
the Healy River mine, if supplied
to Fairbanks consumers in quantity
and at reasonable rates, will make
possible a resumption of mining in
this district on a large scale. Mr.
Preston urges Fairbanksans to vi<ic
the canyon district in order that
they may see conditions there for
themselves.
A naturalization hearing will be :
held by Judge Bunnell on Monday
evening. March 16. There are only
seven names on the waiting lisi.

U. S. Marshal L. T. Erwin has
returned from a trip to the States
and brought three crates of blooded
chickens with him. And thereby
hangs a tail. It appears the marshal
wired to Chief Deputy Miller that
he was enroute with some chicken;
j and asked that preparations be made
for their proper reception, meaning,
of eourse, that he wanted his coops
put in shape for the new arrivals.
But he was not explicit—and how
was Chief Miller to know what kind
of thickens were coming.
