STEAMER TANANA HAS
 VERY NARROW ESCAPE

The steamer Panama narrowly es- capped being wrecked on the voyage down the river from Fort Gibbon and will be laid up for a week or more undergoing repairs.
 The steamer had two heavy cold storage barges in tow and was mak- ing good time down the river, when the nose of one of the barges hit a bar and backed into the steamer with such force that large part of the forward planking on the star board side of the hull was torn away, together with part of the house. Luckily the hole was just above the water line and the Panama was able to make temporary re- pairs to enable her to get back up the river.
 The Panama returned to Nenana with some over-the-lake perishables and with shipments of supplies which were frozen 'at Gibbop last fall.
