HAPPENINGS IN
. NE|CHB0RHOOD

Governor Clark has appointed F,
c. Irons, of Fairbanks, a special en-
ployee under the appropriation for
suppression of the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors among the natives in
Alaska. For the past year and a
half Mr.. Irons has held the position
of game warden with headquarters at
Fairbanks. and resigned that position
to accept the new appointment. Mr..
Irons at one time served as a deputy
marshal in the Fourth division and
| is man well qualified for his new
work. The vacancy in the game SER
vice will probably not be filled for the
present, the field being covered by
Mr.. William Lloyd, another game
warden having his headquarters at
Fairbanks and heretofore working in
conjunction with Mr.. Irons.
The Governor has also arranged
for the appointment of special en-
ployee with headquarters at Valdez,
to work in the Third division in the
enforcement of the law for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic among
the natives. John H. Robinson,
formerly deputy marshal in the
Fourth division, will be appointed to
this position. He will arrive in June
au in few days, enroute to his new
field. Mr.. Robinson is an expert
enced and capable man
The appointment of these men
marks the beginning of a vigorous
campaign in the Third and Fourth
judicial divisions and there is every
reason to believe that much good
will result.
The Governor is also arranging for
the appointment of several native
police officers in the second division
to asst in the apprehension of whis-
key peddlers in the Nome region.
The Chitina leader., 1913-02-11

According to Sidney Smith, Of the
Algunican Development Company, the
Marconi Company contemplates in
stalling perfect and complete chain
of stations all along the Pacific Coast
"a system that will give uninterrupt-
ed service between Alaska points, San
Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Van
couver.
The Algunican Development Com
pany co-operates with the Marconi
Company in maintaining a 5-kilowat
station at Jualin at the present time.
1t is the intention of the Marconi
Company to install six or eight more
stations in the North There will be
one at Yakutat, another at Chicha-
goff, probably one at Skgway, or
Haines.
The plant at Juneau is to be in
creased from it's present inefficient
capacity to s. or 10-kilowat station.
There has been lot of unjust crit
Iicism by uniformed persons about
the management of the Juneau sta
ton Mr.. Smith thinks-the fault is in
the station not the operation. The
other day the Jefferson was attempt
ing to let Juneau know of her ap-
lproach. Juneau heard the Jefferson
all right, but the Jefferson could not
hear Juneau. However, Jualin did
hear Juneau and picking up Juneau's
reply to the Jefferson, sent it to the
ship. But Juneau was not able to
hear Jualin and kept repeating the
answer to the Jefferson's notice until
the Jefferson made known that the
answer was received through Jualin.
Inc other day there was an accident
at Jualin. The story was sent to
Juneau-Prince Rupert got it but Ju-
neau failed to respond. This DEM
onstrates that the Juneau station is
inefficient both for receiving and
sending.
The plant at Petersburg will un-
doubtedly be enlarged and there will
probably be one built at Wrangell.
| 1t is planned to establish stations
all along the coast until the chain is
complete. The commercial rate will
be made much lower han the present
cable rates, bat whether or not there

will be press rate has not been an
nounced
Mr.. Smith is enthusiastic over the
prospect of getting direct communica-
ton from the isolated mining camps
like Jualin, with the outside world.
The prospect should also appeal to
the Alaska business men, The prom
Use of direct communication, not only
with the large commercial cities of
the States, but with their customers
at distance from the trade centers
should be welcomed by all Alaska
business men. The proposed enter
prise will probably receive universal
encouragement.
