CLUB ADVOCATES
HAPPV TRAIL TO
TOLOVANA CAMP
_ i
At a regular meeting of the Ne
nana Commercial club, held at the
club chambers last night, the matter
of the winter trail to Brooks by
way of Dunbars, known as the
Happy trail, was discussed at some
length; and although no action was
taken at the time, it was felt by
the club that the matter was one
of very great importance to Ne
nana, and that some definite action
should be taken as soon as possible,
to re-establish the trail and make
travel on it possible next winter.
A request was made by the chair,
that each member of the club con
stitute himself a committee of one,
for the purpose of gleaning all the
information possible bearing on this
important subject, such information
is to be submitted for discussion at
the next regular meeting of the
club, when the matter will be
brought up again.
A well known mining man arrived
in X’enana recently from Brooks,
traveling by way of the little used
Happy trail. His estimate of the
trail, together with interesting data
bearing on the relative merits of
the N'enana-Livengood route, and
the Fairbanks-Livengood route, were
published in the X'enana News in
its issue of March 28. The gentle
man referred to thought that with
the completion of the government
railroad and the establishing of train
service between Xenana and Joyce
Lake (Dunbar’s) the travel between
the Tolovana country and Fairbanks
aver a difficult trail will be diverted
to X'enana over the Happy trail,
which is easy to negotiate.
The distances between these
points are as follows;
NENANA-LIVENGOOD ROUTE
X'enana to Dunbar's (by rail.18
Dunbar’s to Log Jam .23
Log Jr-.m to West Fork. .18
West hoik to Livengood. 7
Total miles.66
FAIRBANKS-LIVENGOOD ROUTE
Fairbanks to Olnes (by rail).22
Olnes to Livengood.54
Total miles ...76
Figures given in the article re
ferred to also showed that a sav
ing of from three to four cents per
pound could be affected on all
freight routed by way of the Happy
trail from Dunbar’s to Brooks.

10 AID orphan;
On a recent mail, Miss Jean
Russell, who is adopting a French;
orphan, received a letter of thanks
from the mother of her protege,
which is as follows:
Somewhere in France, Feb. 3, 1919 j
“I write to thank you for adopt-!
ing my son Louis Perusson; your
kindness is a wonderful help and
words cannot express my thanks.
You have no idea how I have suff
ered since the war ended, and a
good many of our husbands and
comrades have returned to their
homes; it is plain that for my family
all is ended and we are alone.
“Up to that time there was al
ways hope that, since he was re
ported missing, he might show up
afterward, but even that hope is
gone, since all prisoners have re- j
turned.
“You have asked for Martha’s
photograph, but I have not been;
able as yet to get it. I am going i
to make an effort to send you one i
of each, Louis and Martha. We!
have all been down with the flu |
and we have been very sick; and;
now that we are better, it is bitter
cold and as it is a long ways to'
town, about two hours walk, we will
have to wait for warmer weather
It is all right for Louis and myself
but Martha is not yet four years
old.
"Pardon me, but I would like to
know if you have received my
letters, and if you will be kind'
enough to write a few words if you
did.
“I will end this letter thanking
you, myself and my children.
“Receive, dear one, by best com
pliments.
“WIDOW PERUSSOV
Some time ago, Jean, who was at
that time secretary of the Juvenile
club in Fairbanks, sent the neces
sary amount which goes toward the
support of an orphan for one year
to the proper authority and received
a letter of thanks. That letter dis
closed the fact that there were other
little children in the same family
neding care, and large-hearted Jean i
immediately went to work io raise
sufficient money for the support of
another of these children.
She succeeded in raising the sum
of $47.50 by voluntary subscriptions
and this amount she is now forward
ing to the proper quarter to be ap
plied toward the purpose for which
it was raised.
