 day brot photographs of a social

 The function started from the wishes of Misses Dorothea JoAnson and Wilma Carlson to hold a party at which would be present those who formerly lived in Fairbanks but who were in Seattle. An invitation list was accordingly drawn up and when completed it was found that only small portion of those intended to be guests were entered. Stories ao. bearing in the leading papers of Se- attle advised the former Fairbanks. ans of. what was in store and on the night the party was held over three hundred attended. In addition to those who were in Seattle Alask.4us came from Bremerton. Tacoma anu even as far as Portland.

RIVER
 IS VERY LOW


 The water of the Cinema river at the present time is too low to permit of launch navigation. This was evidenc. ed last Monday when the launches Victory, Peerless and Nita attempted to come up the stream from Cinema on their way to Fairbanks from Ne. mana. The lower stretches of the river will permit of navigation to about four miles from Fairbanks but no closer. as a number of sand bars bar progress.
 This is an unusual state of things as never before in number of years has the water been so low that a launch could not navigate the stream. Those running between Fair banks and Nenana arc hoping thai rain will fall that a rise in the rive' may take place. the transferring oi passengers at Cinema being an item of expense they would like overcome

 The subscribers will be amply re. warded for the enforced wait for the issue Is an excellent one. containing many photo prints of a high class order and the articles are well writ. ten and interesting.
 The May issue-the present one-is also another production of merit and will be sent to the subscribers at the same time as the February issue, giving the readers the double pleas. ure of having much reading on the Northland at the same time. Rev. Lumpkin now feels that his troubles are about over for the next three months at least. At that time he will commence the publication of the August issue.
 The May issue of The Alaskan Churchman Is really meritorious Containing a large num- Der of excellent views and much de scriptive matter 1t is bound to be read with great interest wherever 1t is sent.

ALASKANS ARE LUCKY PEOPLE;
 SAYS JOHNSON

"The people of Alaska do not know how well they are of. They have only to make trip outside and study conditions. then they will know that the northland is the best place of all."
 The above Is a statement made by Theodore Johnson, who returned to Fairbanks last Sunday after a short stay outside Mir. Johnson has lived in Alaska a long time and is well up on living conditions and cost of things in the northland. When he ar- rived in Seattle he noticed vast diff. ference in the prices on the outside and those of the interior. Nearly everything Is much higher there than here. He stated that the mer- chants predicted slight drop in the prices of several articles. but not enough to make much difference to the public. In comparing living con ditions he stated that much bette meal could be had in Fairbanks fo" the same money than could be had in Seattle. Dress materials are ve,y high and the society leaders ara not making any attempts to set the fashions any more. being content tc wear moderately priced and less showy raiment at social functions, all owing to the high prices of everI- thing. Mir. Johnson made a numbe" of comparisons between the outside and Alaska which give the northland, and especially the interior. the best of 1t in every respect. Those wh' left here to better their condition outside are now wishing that they were back in the land of plenty anf

ALL ARRIVED SUNDAY NIGHT
 ON SCHEDULE

The crowd of people that wal reported as leaving Meier's last Fri day morning bound for Fairbanks ar rived in town last Sunday evening four days out from Chitina. All It. ported pleasant trip.
 The time made is worthy of spe cial mention inasmuch as about sixty miles of the trail was covered by walking owing to the impossible con. dition with heavy load. The pas. sengers enjoyed this phase ot the trip as it relieved the monotony oi auto. riding and allowed them to take the kinks out of their limbs. The oidtimers returning were Senator L. C. Hess, Theodore Johnson, Maurice Barbettini, Pete McMullen. Paul Ring. seth. James Barrack. Big" Bill Campbell and Lester Earheart. The newcomers were Mrs. Ruth Wilson. a sister of Bill Campbelps and Nels Hawkinson, representative of the carlisle Packing company.
 The passengers arriving represent ed the first load of the season for the Burgess line and the time made speaks well for the future passenger service from Chitina to the interior. Those arriving believe that as soon as the one bad stretch in the road is passable much better time will be made as the>pperators of the stag line are competent in all respects to negotiate the trail and deliver their passengers on scheduled time to their destination. ts.

Another oldtimer of the interior is to become an inmate of the Pioneer home at Sitka, the necessary proco- lure for his admission being com. pleted and the sanction of Governo,' Riggs secured.
 Charles Sanders, who is we'll known in the interior, is the one in question and he is perfectly willing to enter the haven of refuge provided by the territory for the aged trail blazers. Sanders has a little ready money but not enough to keep him for the remainder of his life, and his admis- sion to the home will just about make things all right for him. His friends are glad to know that he will be pro- vided for for all time to come.

The life of an editor does not al. ways run in smooth channels as can b. attested to by Rev. H. H. Lump kin, who is the publisher of The AL askan Churchman.
 Perhaps no editor in the North has lad as much trouble in placing his publication in the hands of his sub scribers as has. MT. Lumpkin.

MT. ]. N. Stensland the former man. aser is i'll and will remain on the Outside.

 The operating force win numoe. sn the neighborhood of 200 employees, no of which are now on the way from Seattle: The company looks forward to a successful year and will probably give some more of the in- teriorites employment.

NEW CONTRACTS
 BEING PLANNED

WASHINGTON. May 13-R-Sec retary Baker is said to be consider ing letting contracts for 500 aero planes to several American manufac- turers for use by the army in order to keep the industry going. Many plants, 1t is stated. which were bull
 up in the expectation of furnishing thousands of planes for the Ameri can and allied armies will be forced to close down unless contracts can be had to tide them over the present stagnation. By placing contracts, even though small in size it is be
 lieved that the plants can be kcr' in such a condition that they can expand in case of national emergency.

SENATOR HESS IS BACK HOME
 FROM CAPITAL

Senator Luther c. Hess arrived in Fairbanks Sunday night from Juneau, at which place he has been in at. tendance at the proceedings of the territorial legislature. The senator is the first of the Fourth division members to the legislature to return.
 When asked as to the probable return of the other members he stat ed that Representative Collins would return by the river route: Represen- tative Nordale made flying trip to Seattle shortly after the close of the session and would return in the near future over the trail. Representative Pennington contemplated a trip to New York before he returned to the interior: the remainder of the lesis- lators were uncertain as to the day of their coming home.
 MT. Hess was considerably surpris. ed when he viewed the burned area as he was back east at the time of the fire and the eastern papers had described the conflagration as having wiped out the entire business sec tion and was still burning at the time the report was published. Mrs. Hess will return to Fairbanks at later date, coming in by the river route.

SLOW BREAKUP
 ON TOLOVANA

According to a late arrival from down river the Tolovala river will not be open for several days yet, the ice appearing to be quite solid Owing to this river being 50 slug. gish for long distance from the mouth the ice becomes considerably thiC ker than on the Nenana or other trib utaries of the Panama, which are mos tly mountain streams.
 The Tolovana river flows for a con sidt rable distance thru the flats anG has no considerable current. It may be likely that owing to the present con lition of the ice the season of navigation will not open as soon as was expected.

 It is evident that army life agreed with Earhart for he looked fit to fight any battle and seems bigger than when he went away. During his time in service he was stationed at Camp Grant. Illinois. as were several other boys from the interior. Within a short time after his arrival he was kept quite busy shaking hands with many of his friends. all of whom were glad to see him back.
