Sergeant Pat Feehley, in command
of the local detachment of soldiers,
has received orders from head
quarters to return to Fort Gibbon
with his command when the trans
port Davis returns down river with
in the -next few days. The orders
came as a complete surprise to the
sergeant, as he had been given to
understand only recently that the
local detachment would be increas
ed by six men instead of being
withdrawn altogether. The instruc
tions received intimate that the
presence of the detachment is no
longer necessary for the protection
of the property of the Government.
Hank A. Keil, of the U. S. En
gineer corps, Rivers and Harbors
service, is on a long leave of ab
sence w'hich he will spend with the
Woodbury Abbey survey party, in
the Mount McKinley region. He was
stationed here many years ago with
one of the survey parties and has
many friends in this district among
the oldtimers.
GIBBON BASEBALL PLAYERS
MAY COME FOR NENANA 4th.
Plans for the Xenana Fourth of
July celebration are taking form
rapidly, and there is reason at this
time to believe the celebration will
be by far the best every held here.
Manager Tom Mathews, of the
local baseball association, has been
advised from Gibbon that the army
ball team is anxious to come to
Xenana for a series of games, and
it is believed that arrangements
can be made to bring the aggrega
tion up river on the transpart Gen.
Jacobs so that a three-game series
can be played here, on the second,
third and fourth of July. The trans
port is now on the upper Yukon
and is scheduled to come through
to upper Tanana river stations, so
that kt appears quite likely that
satisfactory arrangements can be
arranged for a meeting on the dates
desired. The request for the games
came from the Gibbon players and
it is needless to state that an in
vitation was very promptly extend
ed to them.
Chairman Anders, of the Cele
bration committee, announces that
Engineer in Charge Browne has
consented to grant celebration
leave to all employes of the Com
mission in the Healy district, who
can be spared from their work, and
it will be possible for them to come
to town on Saturday, July 2, and
return to the Canyon on a special
train to be sent out on Tuesday
morning, July 6. This will make It
possible for the Healy contingent
to witness all three of the ball
games and enjoy the other features
of the celebration as well.
Full page posters, in colors, set
ting forth the many features of the
celebration, are now in course of
preparation ait The News office, and
will be ready for distribution with
in the next day or two. And the
committee has in course of prepara
tion other plans for giving the ceie
bration the greatest possible pub
licity. The members of the com
mittee feel that the celebration is
going to be the best in the history
of Interior Alaska, and they want
the fact to be generally known.
