NENANA REJOICES OVER
OUTLOOK FOR RAILROAD
Now that the Alaskan Engineering
Commission has authority to proceed
actively with the work of railroad
building, it is confronted by a labor
shortage which threatens seriously to
hamper construction. That is the sit
uation, at any rate, in this division, (
where there appears to be an unsual
shortage of workers. Everyone in Ne
nana has been given the opportunity
to enter the employ of the commis
sion during the past week and efforts
are now being made to induce men
to come to Nenana from nearby dis
tricts, but it is considered doubtful
if there are sufficient available men in
the entire interior country to fill the
places, that are now open. And it is
Ixpected that the demand for labor
will increase steadily as the season
advances and new work is started by
the commission.—Nenana News.
DOUGLAS TO HAVE
CELEBRATION JULY 4
The news that Douglas island will
hold a Fourth of July celebration this
year will be glorious news to the
younger generation. The children think
the light of the world has gone out
when no celebration is held and rather
than to disappoint them most any
sacrifice should be made to promote a
fitting program for the great day.—

The Empress theatre will be dark
