Tacotna, Sept. 18.—Our fair town is
fast assuming the airs and proportions
> of an important business center. A
meeting of the Tacotna Commercial
Club Saturday evening resulted in a
concerted action on the part of our
leading citizens to go after greater
business. It wus deckled that we need
ed more streets, so this morning our
surveyors are out in force, .surveying
and laying off streets and alleys-with
the utmost preoision and regularity. It
was decided that all obstacles, such as
residences, stores, doghouses .and the
like should be summarily removed
There is a -noticeable, flurry in real
• estate. It is understood that Al Thorns
t has purchased a lot on Commerce ave
nue and contemplatesdsuilding a winter
residence here. He says he likes the
town belter than CaBe9 creek; there is
more life here. It is rumored also that
s&veral other real-estate transfers are
iu- contemplation.
It is understood that-the Commercial
< Cl ub is in communication-with several
, parties, and are offering inducements
to legitimate business enterprises to
; locate in our midst. This .action is to
be highly commended. We need a
wireless, a'bank or two, a movie pic
ture show, and any other business that
> might be induced to come our way;
* we have room for them all.
Verily our town is on the verge of a
boom. It is reported that, heretofore,
strangers coming into the town have
slipped and fallen from our front and
main thoroughfare into the river. The
t Commercial Club says-that this will
f, not happen again, as Commerce avenue
is to be graded, and- soon we will see
i Fords, Cadillacs and all the latest- ap
proved machines^ gliding - in from the
creeks to the lower end of town.
About twenty-five thousand feet of
lumber were unloaded from the Pioneer
and her barge the other day, which
would indicate considerable building
j; activity in the near future.
Tacotna is playing in luck, An extra
appropriation has been allowed for
road work, and under the supervision
of VV. VV. Lukens will be used where tit

will do the most good. We are fortu
nate in having Mr. Lukens in charge
of this work, as he has the confidence
of all concerned and is fast supplying a
much-needed road to the creeks. His
knowledge and recommendations will
go a long way toward securing future
appropriations.
It was during the impaneling of a
iury, when the following colloquy oc
curred:
“You are a property holder.”
‘‘Yes, your honor.”
“Married or single?”
“I have been married for live years,
your honor,”
“Have you formed or expressed any
opinion?”
“Not for five years, your honor.”
Many Prospecting
in Chandlar District
Neoana News.
Arrivals from the Chandlar district,
who reached Nenana this week aboard
the little- steamer Columbus, report
that there is a lot of prospecting in
progress iu the Chandlar region, but
that nothing new in the way of pay
streaks has been uncovered since last
summer. It is estimated that there
are between forty and tifty people in
the district.
The fact that there is not more activ
ity in that region is attributed to ttie
fact that the district is hard to get into
and supplies are scarce and costly
Curley Smith is reported to be doing
well on Little Squaw creek, and he is
looking forward to a big cleanup. He
is at work on proven ground, on a lay
from the original staker.
A. B. Funk, Charlie Wubbenhorst
and Jimmy Woods have a lay on Big
creek on ground owned by Paul
Schultz, of Stevens Village. They
were hard at work putting down a
working shaft, but had not reached
bedrock.
About 125 men are reported to be
working in the Cache crhek plaeer dis
trict.
