TODD WRITES OF
CH|SANA D0|NCS

In a letter to Theodore Kettleson
of this city. Tom Dodd, the well
known old-timer of the Fairbanks
camp, tells Of conditions in the CHS
ana camp this winter. Everything is
quiet there in a mining way no
new discoveries being reported, but
prospecting is now going on full
BLAST and the r.iners are III every
way prepared for the winter months.
There are now about $50 people
in the Chisana country. There were
140 votes cast at the territorial cleo
ton, Wickersham receiving III, Bun
nell is and Brooks 5.
According to the letter, the people
of the Chisana camp are having
great difficulty in getting their mail
this winter Last winter the mail
was taken in by special contracts
but this winter the government
has provided no way by which the
mail may be sent in. When the
letter was written the people of
the Chisana had received no war
news for three weeks. as no mail
had been brought in during that
space OF time.
1t appears from the letter that
! the government and the classmates
are having trouble on account OF
the route over which the regular
winter trail shall be established. The
government is now constructing
trail out of Mccarthy on the Copper
river railroad. but that route does
not meet with the approval Of the
people it is supposed to benefit.
Accordingly. they have sent out
crew of 16 men to open up a trail
over Skolai pass,
Socially. the Chisana camp is
very quiet. Two recent weddings
are mentioned in the letter. One
is that of Billy Zacharias, formerly
Of Cinema, and Miss Roberts, and
ne other that of Joe McLenan the
Bonanza creek operator, and Miss
1adie Gilman.

Fire Alarms Are
Less This Year

The records Of the Fairbanks fire
department show that during the
past eight months there have been
fewer alarms of fire turned in than
in any other like period OF time dur
ing the history of the city. This
condition, it is believed, is due
chiefly to the rigid inspection of
all heating apparatus, especially in
the business portion of the city, and
70 the mildness of the weather.
However, comparison with the
records of the months of September,
October, November and December, in
the years 1928, show that the
number of fire alarms turned in
this year has been about the same
as usual, the number being IA, In
1913 the total number was IA while
IN 1912 only 10 alarms We're turned
in.
Only six general alarms were turn
ed in at the fire hall during the
months of September, October, No
vember and December thus far this
year, the other eight being still
alarms. Against that number is the
fact that 10 general alarms were
turned in during the same period
of time during 1913. and in 1912.
The record for the four months
of this year, previous to September
brings the average number Of
calls answered by the department
down almost to minimum. In
TACT the general alarms do not aver
age one per month during that time,
although several still alarms were
answered by the department during
the summer months.

I am, therefore. at liberty to establish
other connections. There is nothing
but most friendly feeling existing
all around and my connection in the
North and with the people with
whom | have been associated has
been most pleasant and interesting"
w b. Close, who financed the
White Pass & Yukon route, said:
MY acquaintance and association
with Mr.. Dickson has been through

He desired to take up connections
elsewhere some time ago, but most
Loyalty followed his plans to a sue
cessful conclusion, and has my best
wishes in severing his relations with

Mr.. Dickson refused to divulge
to the Daily Alaskan correspondent
plans for the future, nor would he
give out any hint as to the identity
of his probable successor.
