 BACK IN PORT
LAST BOAT OF SEASON ARRIVES IN PORT WILL NOT AT
 TEMPT TO GO BACK

To Carl White will probably be giV- cn the honor of being the last nayi- gator to come up the Cinema river dur ing the 1919 season. He arrived with his launch last night shortly before midnight just two days out from Ne mana.
 He reports that the Tanana river is running bank full of ice and he had considerable difficulty negotiating a passage. It took him twenty-four hours to come from Emile bar to Fairbanks.
 Mr. White brought five passengers to town, including Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lynn and daughter and Raphael Myerson, who has been operating the Josln radio station there for the past year. Mr. White stated last evening that he would not attempt to return by river, but that the mail for the ToIoyana district would leave over land Monday morning.
