The suggestion of Marshal Stev
ens that committees be named by
the various towns along the Alaska
Railroad to extend the hand of wel
come to visitors, is a splendid one,
and The News hopes that Nenana
will be one of the first towns to
adopt the plan. There was a time
when the local Commercial Club
maintained such a committee, but
the club is not functioning at pres
ent and the committee has moved
away. So it will be up to some other
organization, the City Council, per
haps, to revive the welcoming plan
by the appointment of a new com
mittee. It does not require much
effort or time to make a visitor
feel at home in a town, and it will
be effort and time well expended if
the majority of the visitors coming
this way are made to feel that they
are welcome. They will remember
any attention that is given them
and their words of praise, after
they have left Alaska, will have the
effect of sending others to the Ter
ritory. The plan is worth a good
trial, at least.
There is much of promise for
Nenana in the statement of Major
General Morton that he will re
commend the transfer of the army
transports Jacobs and Davis from
the War Department to the Interior
, Department, for use as a connecting
] link between the Alaska Railroad
j and the Yukon river; and in the
statement of Col. Mears that he will
: assume jurisdiction over the steam
ers and make them part of the
Government transportation system
just as soon as the necessary author
1 ity can oe obtained from Washing
i ton.
The railroad must have steamer
1 connection at Nenana to obtain
needed additional tonnage, to in
sure the proper handling of tourist
travel on the Yukon and Tanana
1 rivers and to rescue isolated river
mining camps and trading commun
ities from the plight in which they
i now find themselves, dependent for
their supplies upon a Canadian trans
portation monopoly which is doing
its utmost to divert travel and ton
nage from Alaska's Government
owned railroad.
It was intended that the railroad
should be of benefit to all of In
terior Alaska—that it should tap
the navigable waters of the In
terior so that supplies and machin
ery could be moved quickly and
cheaply to points remote from the
railroad. And the full measure of
that accomplishment depends upon
the establishment of proper steamer
connection, operating, preferably,
as part of the Government system.

ANCHORAGE PAYS TRIBUTE
TO VICTIM OF R. R. WRECK
All Anchorage paid tribute yester
day afternoon to the memory of
William Elliott, popular and re
spected resident of the coast town
who met his death in the railroad
wreck near Honolulu on Saturday.
Funeral services were held undei
the auspices of the Masonic fra
• ternity. with R. D. Chase officiating
in the absence of the master of the
1 Anchorage lodge, assisted by Rev.
Hughes. The casket was banked high
with the many beautiful floral tri
butes prepared by the ladies of the
Eastern Star.
After the services, which were
held in Masonic Temple, the body
was returned to the undertaking
, parlors, where it will be prepared
for shipment to the States, where
the burial will take place.
There was a general suspension
of activities in the various offices
and departments of the Alaska
Railroad during the afternoon and
many of the business places of An
chorage were closed during the
services with the result that Masonic
Temple was filled to its capacity.
The deceased was a pioneer resi
dent of Anchorage and had been in
the employ of the railroad organiza
tion since 1915. He was a Blue
Lodge and Scottish Rite Mason and
a member of the Elks. He is sur
vived by a widow and two daughters
the elder of whom. May, has a po
sition in the disbursing office of the
Alaska Railroad at Anchorage. The
other daughter, Violet, or “Happy"
as she is more familiarly' known,
is at present in the States, where
she plans to study music.
NENANA LADIES WILL START

A dancing school for the teaching
of ballroom dancing, from the old
time and ever popular waltz, to the

both of whom have had much ex
perience in teaching. The school will
be opened at Union hall on Mon
day night, and instruction will be
given to beginners and to those de
siring to improve their dancing or
learn the new steps.

Special train dispatched
TO CONNECT WITH ALAMEDA
A special train, consisting- of bo\
cars, equipped with seats and
i benches, and an extra caboose for
i the accommodation of the women I
'■ travelers, pulled out of the Nenana
| depot shortly before nine o’clock
> this morning, taking away a large j
contingent of passengers, most of
whom are bound for the States and
have made reservations on the ,
i steamer Alameda, which is scheduled j
to sail south from Seward tomor
row.
The special was held up at Healy
pending the clearing of the tracks
at Mile 353%, where a slide oc-;
j curred. Connection will be made
I at McKinley Park with the regular;
' train from the coast, which has
i crossed the repaired trestle near
, Honolulu and is now speeding to
1 ward McKinley Park station.
The wrecked trestle was repaired
this morning and the train from
Anchorage passed over the structure
at eleven o’clock.
The slide, which held up the south-!
bound train this momine. occurred
at the old Atwood cut just north of
j Tunnel No. 3. ,
The train from the coast, which
I will meet the special from Nenana
j at McKinley Park, was sent out
i especially for that purpose and has
j no passengers, freight or mail. Up
on meeting, both trains will return
j to their respective starting points,
j The regular schedule, which was j
: disarranged by the wreck of the ;
, long trestle near Honolulu, will be i
resumed tomorrow, with the arrival
i of a train from the coast in the
i morning, and the departure of south
- bound train tomorrow night at the
i usual hour. The train arriving in
‘ the morning will have Outside mail
I and the passengers from the Ala
meda. The regular left Seward this
morning and is coming straight
! through on schedule time.
One of the oldest totem poles in
Alaska, originally erected by the In-)
| dians in the old town of Howkan. I
i deserted years ago. has been set up
on the Wrangell dock.
