ASSERTS ARRIVAL
“The herring fishing in the Saw
mill Bay district the past season has
been a total failure,” states Charles
Goyne, who arrived in Anchorage a
few days ago and is registered at the
Hotel Morrison.
“Since May 12 we worked but 19
days up to the present time, which
| to say the least, was not very sat
isfactory. However, the salmon pack
ing business was immense and ac
cording to information imparted to
me the salmon run this year was the
biggest that has ever been experienced
in that district. According to Mr. (
Goyne it is said that the San Juan
Company put up a pack of over 40,
000 cases which is valued at about
$250,000.
Mr. Goyne is an oldtimer in the
country and was formerly a member
of the Fourth Estate having charge
- in 1906, of the circulation of the Fair
banks News, on the creeks adjacent j
to Fairbanks. His present jolans are j
indefinite, he said, but expected to j
remain in Anchorage for some time,;
aw*aiting the arrival of a brother.
STEEL BRIDGE CONTEMPLATED
FOR NENANA RIVER CROSSING
—
A source of annual grief on The
Alaska Railroad is to be eliminated
in the near future by the erection of
a steel bridge at Mile 371, where the
railroad crosses the turbulent Nena
na river.
The Nenana river crossing has
been a source of annoyance ever since
- the railroad reached that point. Every
spring and sometimes several times
during the summer the temporary
bridges would be taken out by ice and
flood waters, interrupting traffic for
several weeks at a time. After the
completion of the railroad to the
coast, concrete piers were set in the
stream and a wooden truss span erect
ed, the belief of the railroad manage
ment at that time being that such a
bridge would meet the requirements.
But it did not last long. Within a
very short time after the structure
was completed a freshet of unusual
proportions occurred and the main
span was lifted from its concrete j
foundations and carried down stream
fully one thousand feet.
Through traffic was re-established
after the flood had subsided by
means of a temporary structure sup
ported by piling, similar to the
earlier bridges, good enough while
it lasts but far from being perma
nent.
The need of a steel bridge has
been long apparent and much dis
cussed and now it is about to take
definite form, insuring the elimina
tion of further trouble at that point.

J. P. MORGAN CREDIT TO
FRENCH BANK EXTENDED
PARIS, Sept. 24.—The $100,000,000
credit extended by J. P. Morgan &
Co., to the Bank of France six months I
ago, has been renewed for six months
upon conditions similar to the pre
ceding credit.
According to the bank, the renewal
was obtained simply as a precaution !
for the future, as there was no need
or intention to use the credit at pres
ent.
The credit was originally extended
to assist in the fight against the de
preciation of the franc.
It is reported that John Nash, the
reteran pioneer who recently return
ed from Seattle, will purchase the i
Club Cigar store. It was recently
vacated by Eric Nelson.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years "one by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
