W. Fries on Main Street. Mr. Fries said the weather was several weeks ahead of the season last year due to the heavy blanket of snow. John Wagner reported that the heavy snow fall of the past few weeks had caused the roof of the hoist house at the Salmon Creek Mine to cave in. He had bgen busy since that time shoveling snow from the other buildings to prevent them caving in' also. The Juneau Water Company was having trouble to supply customers with water. The shortage was at- tributed to a broken main. The | Worthen Mill had been forced to shut down for the day because the water pressure was insufficient to feed the boilers. The residents of Nenana had been urged to plant trees in their front as a means of adding to the ctiveness of the town in about twenty years.
