BIG POWER BOAT ARRIVES
 TO WORK ON TANANA RIVER

The Alaskan Engineering Com mission stern wheel power boat Matanuska, which has been in use on coast division waters during the past several years, arrived from An chorage last week by special train, for use on the Panama river during the coming summer and during the period of bridge construction.
 The successful transportation of the boat, which measures over 50 feet, required the construction Of a special car and the careful balancing of the craft on it's side 10 permit passage through cuts and tunnels. The boat was moved under the direction of Archie Adams, travelling engineer of the 4. E C.
 The Matanuska was completely dismantled before starting on the long land journey across Broad Pass the equipment requiring three cars for its transportation.
 The Matanuska will take the place of the stern wheeler Midnight Sun, which has been doing duty on the Interior rivers for many years, first as part of the outfit of the Alaska Boundary survey, and later as gen. eral utility craft for the railroad or ganiza-ion, used latterly chiefly as a ferry boat between Nenana and North Nenana. The new boat is of so horsepower

 Doyle said Willard also received a telegram from Archer stating "the big things" concerning the match had been practically agreed upon but there were few minor details that had to be settled before articles could be signed and a definite date set for them.
 Willard cannot get into condition for a bout with Dempsey Labor Day. said Doyle. That's only two months away. In fact, Willard is not intend. ing to meet the present champion be fore October 15. He is satisfied his condition will be all right by October. He does not care where the match is held as long as 1t is held. The loca. tion is up to Tex Rickard, the pro. mOter."
