ENTERTAINED BY
Proprietor of Tavern Cafe Entertains
Basketball Girls At Dinner
Party.
William Rodigkeit, the suave pro
prietor of the Tavern cafe, is a
firm believer in the old adage that
“All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy,” and takes great interest
in both out and in-door sports of all
kinds. He does not play any game
himself as, he says, he cannot find
time to do so. but recalls with many
a thrill of pleasure and pride, that
he once umpired a very important
baseball game, which, he says was
won by his side. (Whatever that may
mean.)
When the ball games came to an
end with the coming of winter's
snows, basketball was revived, and
found an ardent votary in William,
who is reported to have not missed
a single game, especially when the
Girls’ teams played. There were two
teams of girls, known as the “Mid
night Suns” and the “Northern
Lights”, and William, it is reported,
had on several occasions, impartially
backed both teams to win.
A short time before the end of
the last basketball season, William
held out the promise that he would
give the winning team a chicken
dinner, with all the frills and trim
mings, as an incentive to the players
to do their best, and the resulting
games were fast and spirited, he says.
The actual giving of the dinner
was held back for some time until
a fresh consignment of chickens
and the necessary trimmings in the
way of fresh tomatoes, celery, etc., I
had been received,
j Last night at the Tavern cafe the
members of both girls’ teams weie
the guests of William at the chicken j
dinner, which was voted a great
success by the girls Covers were
laid for ten, the following being
present: Mesdames Hah, Lawrence, j
Lund, Schaeffer, Ellenson and Grigg,
and Misses Queenie Russell, Thora
Shppern and Betty Foster; Miss Me-j
Crae being unavoidably absent, ow-1
ing to press of business,
j The ladies desire, through the
medium of the News, to extend hearty
thanks to Mr. William Rodigkeit.

NEW DENCY
IS ESTABLISHED i
: ON NEW D LI
To take care of the many clearing
and grading contracts that have been j
awarded along the new location of
the Government railroad, as well as
the other duties in the engineering |
branch of the service, a new resi- •
dency has been established near mile j
398 on the new D line and about 3'i
miles from the camp at 20-mile, on j
the old line. j
The engineer who will have charge |
of this residency will have his head- j
quarters at the camp recently used I
by the 20-mile location party, under
Resident Engineer Kenneth Case.
The residency has been offered to
Resident Engineer Hawley W. Ster
ling, who recently came to Nenana
from the Fairbanks-Nenana line, of j
which he was engineer in charge. I
It is thought probable that Mr. Ster
ling will accept the offer, in which
case he will assume charge imme
diately and leave for his camp to
morrow morning. Arndt Greve, who
was employed as leveller on Bailey’s
location, will go out as transitman
under Resident Engineer Hawley W.
Sterling. i
LABOR UNION MEETING
A meeting of the Nenana Labor
Union will be held at Union hall to
night at 7:30 o’clock.
Busines of a special nature will ^ t
be transacted and all members are <
urged to be in attendance. ' j

GIVES FAREWELL
10 DRAFT BOYS
Fa^well Show Given By Red Cross
Ladies to Drafted Boys Was
Unqualified Success.
The entertainment given last night
at the Grace Presbyterian church
by the ladies of Nenana in honor
of the boys who will leave on the
transport Jacobs tomorrow, was a
huge success and was enjoyed by all
those who were present.
Long before the hour fixed for the
commencement of the entertainment,
people began to arrive in a steady
stream and the sacred edifice was
filled to capacity. Every available
seat and the woodpile near the stove
was occupied and there were a great
many standing in the doorway and
on the platform leading to it.
The guests of honor, which in
cluded the drafted men and the
military guard and Signal Corps men,
occupied the seats in the front and
close to the raised dais.
Miss Valentine Anderson opened
the program with a finished render
ing of a beautiful Hawaiian song,
accompanied on the piano by Miss
Thora Slippern with Roy Douse play
ing the violin obligato. Responding
to the applause, she sang the ever
popular “Sunshine of His Smiles.”
The items on the program con
tributed by the school children were
excellent and were greatly enjoyed
by the audience, every item being
heartily appladed. The school child
ren were trained in their parts by
Mrs. William Grigg.
A clever selection on the mouth
organ by Tony Letray was much
appreciated, his imitation of the
Scottish bagpipes on the mouth organ
being truly remarkable; the drone
of the bagpipes being distinctly re
produced; he responded to the encore
with “Red Wing.”
Grady Summerlin gave a recita
tion entitled “Tribute to a Soldier’s
Coat,” and responded to a recall by
reciting a piece about the first
pantaloons he wore.
Mr. Kenneth Diven’s voice was
heard to advantage in a song en
titled “Who Knows,” which he kindly
Rev. Robert Joseph Diven then
repeated in response to the encore
delivered a stirring address to
the men of the draft and the mili
tary. He commenced his remarks
with a humorous anecdote of a re
treating Irish soldier whose excuse
for quitting the conflict was that
he was obeying orders and was
“Striking for home and country;”
and wound up a thrillinng address
by wishing the boys God speed and
good luck.
Dainty refreshments were then
served to all and a most successful
entertainment was brought to a close
by a beautiful rendering of the
French national anthem “La Mar
seillaise” by Mrs. Woodbury Abbey,
with Victor Durand playing the
violin obligato.
The full program is as follows:

’utmieri Gamble on Time of Boat’*
Arrival At Whitehorse; Medico
Wins.
To while away the time and break
he monotony of the long trip to
Vhitehorse, the passengers of the
teamer Tanana, among whom were
nany well known Nenanaites, got
p a pool on the time of the ar
ival of the boat at Whitehorse,
finch was won by Dr. M. E. Smith.
Chances were sold at fifty cents
er guess and forty-five of the pass
ngers registered guesses. All of
r*
I r
the guesses were for an early rnorn-*^
ing arrival and Dr. Smith’s guess,
which was for 1:25 a. m., took the
money, the boat arrived at White
horse at 1:30 a. m.
Dr. Smith’s watch was the chosen
timepiece and t^ie blowing of the
steamer’s whistle was taken for the
time of arrival.
We have to put every ounce of
effort behind the men behind the
guns.
