NENANA DOWNS VISITORS
WITH LOPSIDED SCORE
The opening game of the inter
city series between Nenana and
Fairbanks, was played on Sunday
afternoon at the Franklin K Lane
park. Nenana administered a se>e'e
drubbing to the upper city, bring
ing home the bacon by a 15-1 s^ore,
in seven innings of play.
Hupprich. the Nenana southpaw,
had worlds of speed and everything
needed to keep the opposing bats
men guessing, but two hits being
made off his delivery, one of them
a scratch. Thirteen ipponents were
retired by strikeouts. The Nenana
team, as a whole, played airtight
ball, every man being on his toes
all the time; with the exception f
Rogers, Fairbanks center fielder,
the visitors presented a leaky te.^m.
They used five pitchers in the effort
1 to stave off defeat, but without
' avail, the Nenana sluggers picking
them for 17 hits. Every man on *he
j home team fattened up his batting
average, to the delight of the fans.
| In only two innings did more than
, j three batters face Hupprich—six in
I! the second, when the lone score was
| registered, and four in the seventh.
■ Otherwise, it was one, two, three
! and the water pail.
The Fairbanks rooters, of whom
■ there were a considerable number
in the grand stand, were loyal to
their team in spite of the "breaks'’
against them, the players respond
ing by hard effort to even up mat
ters. but they could not overcome
the handicap of the big lead ac
quired by Nenana in the first in
ning. -
Nenana made four runs in the
first inning, three in the fourth,
two in the fifth and four in the
sixth. Fairbanks made one run in
the second inning.
It is highly probable that the
Nenana team will go to Fairbanks
; for the second game, next Sunday,
in which event the players will be
accompanied by a large number of
fans.
The excursion train from Fair
banks brought nearly 100 persons
from the upper town, arriving at
North Nenana shortly before noon
The visitors departed on the home
trip at seven o'clock.

CITIZENS ACCEPT PROPOSAL
TO TAKE OVER UTILITIES
The electric light, water and tele
phone services, which were inaugu
rated by the Alaskan Engineering
Commission several years ago, will
be turned over to the Healy River
Coal Corporation on the first of
August, to be operated by that
company under a special agreement
with the Commission, and in coopera
tion w^th a committee representing
the town of Nenana.
It was decided, at a meeting of
citizens held in the Union building
on Saturday evening, to accept the
proposition of the Commission, and
the committee, appointed at an
earlier meeting to negotiate an
agreement, was empowered to enter
into the necessary contract and to
continue to represent the town in
the capacity of an advisory board.
Under the terms of the agree
ment, the town will have the use
of the power plant without charge,
and the Commission agrees to pay
a minimum of $1,500 per month
for electric current during the life
of the contract. At the end of two
months it will be necessary to make
a new contract. This is done in
order to give the town and the
coal company opportunity to demon
strate whether the plant can be
operated successfully under such an
arrangement and to arrive at a
basis for entering into a permanent
arrangement.
The coal company and the mem
bers of the committee believe that
the cost of operation can be cut so
that current can be supplied at the
rate of 30 cents per kilowatt, which
is the rate charged in Fairbanks.
The coal company also will take
over the management of the tele
phone service, for which the Com
mission will make a rental charge
of $1.00 per phone in use.
The coal for use in the power
plant will be supplied by the coal
company at the rate of $5.00 per
long ton at the mine, and the Com
mission will make a charge of $1.00
per long ton for delivering the
coal at the plant. The agreement
also provides that the plants must
be maintained in good working
order and. as an evidence of good
faith, the town will be required to
give security in the form of a bond
in the sum of $5,000. The Com
mission agrees to put the plant in
first class condition before turn
ing it over, and will make repairs
afterwards on a basis of charges
made at present.
An effort will be made to secure
a turbine engine for installation in
the plant and, if that is done, the
cost of operation will be very con
siderably reduced.
The committeemen who will re
present the town in drawing up the
contract and in assisting in the
management of the plant, are Mayor
Joe O’Connor, Topi Smith, W. A.
Coghill, Charles Bergman andWil
liam Rodigkeit.
Incorporation Started
After it had been decided to ac
cept the proposition of the Com
mission for the operation of the
public utilities, a committee was ap-,
pointed to initiate incorporation
proceedings, it being the sense of
the meeting that the town should in
corporate without further delay, in |
riew of the fact that Commission;
management will cease during the
coming month. This committee will i
circulate a petition for presentation '
to the district judge, who will set
a date for a public hearing and
later, a date for an election. The
procedure will take from 60 to 00
days.
The incorporation committee is
composed of William Taylor, J. H.
Flower, Dr. J. R. Bowen, Carl
Schmidt and A. D. Thompson.
Howard G. Haslem, who returned
from the Outside several days ago,
to re-enter the employ of The A E.
C., has been assigned to the wo.k!
of running the line for the shoe fly
to be built at Bridge 16, where the
N’enana river is cutting away the
grade.
