MUSH OVER THE TRAIL
NENANA TO ANCHORAGE
Anchorage, Sept. 7.—Seventeen
''ays were required tq travl by trajl,
river and railroad from Nenana to
Anchorage, a distance of about 296
miles. The trip was made by Hen
ry Ehlen, formerly in charge of
the dockg and warehouses of the
government railroad at Nenana; M.
Hyland, a government railroad train
conductor, and C. J. Ensley, a pros
pector from the Tolovana district.
Prom Nenana to Indian river, a
distance of 130 miles, the travelers
took the summer trail. At Indian
river, they built a raft and on it
floated down the Susitna river to
Montana, a distance of seventy
miles. At Montana, which is the
northern end of steel on the Anchor
age division, they boarded a gov
ernment railroad- train and came
>o Anchorage, a distance of ninety
six miles.
Mr. Ehlen says that the summer
trajl between Nenana aud Indian
river is fairly good but that it
needs blazing in places. With a
comparatively little expenditure, he
declares, it could be put in excel
lent condition. AH the winter trail
roatihouses were closed'. The party
saw no persons after leaving Lig
nite creek, which is only a short
distance from Nenana, until Indian
river wag reached. The travelers
were fortunate in finding the water
low in all streams and experieuc
| ed no difficulty in crossing them.
CUT OUT "SAMMY,"
URGES U. S. GENERAL
Washington, Sept. 6. — General
M*rch made an appeal today for the
elimination of the word "Sammy"
with respect to American troops,
saying if there is one thing the U"
nited States soldiers did not like,
it ia to oe called "Sammy." He said
the British and French cannot un
derstand1 why guch vigorous men
should he Riven such an appendage.
Tho British have discarded it in fa
vor of "Yanks," the general said.
F. J. Vandewall was seen today
rid*u,«r a perfectly new and late
modei bicycle. The manner in
which he controlled the machine
showed that he is a master of the
art of wheeling. The next thing
will be a Ford.

TRAVELED FIVE MONTHS
TO -SAVE A LITTLE TLME
H, S. Tristam, who spent the
oust few months in Interior Alaska
in the interests of a fur concern,
left today for Vancouver, B. C.,
During his stay in the Northland
he passed through some trying
Situations.
Arriivng at Cordova the early
part of last December, he went in
over the trail as far aa Gulkana
and endeavored to cut across coun
try to the Forty-Mile country by
way of Tanana Crossing and Lake
Mansfield. All weut well with him
un»i> ho left the beaten trail and
tried to make bis way through a
country unknown to him and sparse-)
lv inhabited. With a dog team and
a full equipment of camp outfit, he
made good progress until he eucoun-*
ttred many overflows on one of the
creeks on which ho was traveling,
getting soaking wet all over. His
supplies were also made unfit for
use at the same time. Owing to a
high wind and cold weather, he |
was compelled to stay in hia sleep
ing bag for thres days, suffering
from hunger during thia period*.
Completely lost, his position would
have Deen a hard one but for the
timely arrival of a party of In
dians, who took him to their camp
and made him comfortable until he
waB ready to travel again. Acting
on their guidance, he succeeded in
arriving at Chicken creek, la the
Jack Wad^ district, about the
middle of May, being five monthB
making the trip and crossing a
country that even a hardjr sour
dough would consider some time
before undertaking.
With the experience he had' pass
ed through he still entertained a
good opinion of the country, and his
mam regret wag that there was a
scarcity of fur.—Cordova Times. j
