Totatlanika Logger Say* Enoug!
Snow I* Left on Highlands to
Give Trouble.
In the opinion of Austin Oars
logging contractor, who has a cam]
well up the Totatlanika, there i;
still enough snow on the grount
throughout the Tanana valley ti
keep the streams wei, supplied wit!
water during the early summer. A
few real warm days, he says, might
easily cause another general' over
flow along the Tanana, should the
thaw come before the water drops
materially.
Oars has a contract to deliver
half a million feet of logs to the
Commission, and a large number of
the logs were banked, ready to roll
into the water when the flood came
The water did not rise sufficient,
on the Totatlanika, however, to
cause any damage, the flooded areas
being confined chiefly to the low
lands along the Tanana. The great
est drawback at the Oars camp has
been the deep snow, much of which
is still on the ground near the log
ging camp.
The high water almost flooded
the Fred Keil fox farm, above Xe
nana. The roadhouse celler filled
with water, but before any further
damage resulted the water dropped.
The Keil place is well up from the
river and not in any danger from
overflows ordinarily.
The Oars outfit will begin driving
early next month. The logs will be
boomed at the mouth of the To
tatlanika and rafted from that point
to the Commission mill at Xenana.
rhe contract will not be finished
until well along in the summer.
Jack O’Gara, who was called to
Xenana last week on account of the
serious illness of Mrs. O’Gara, re
turned to the upper town this morn
ing on the Moody launch.

SCHOOL BOARD
HOLDSJIE1G
^ The Xer.ana School Board convened
^ in regular session yesterday at 1
p. m. Those in attendance were:
Mrs. Effie Sweeney, president; John
! Brevig, assessor; Geo. W. Penning
ton treasurer: and J. A. Slippern.
Owing to the inclemency of the
t weather, and the unusual conditions
. caused by the late breakup of the
I Tanana river, a complete report of
various committees could not be
made, and a number of contemplated
improvements to the school grounds
will be delayed for a few days. The
, school building has been thoroughly
cleaned, however, and measures
taken to secure the wood that drifted
away during the high water.
John Brevig, the assessor, was
authorized to have repairs made of
the slight damage to foundation
caused by caving near the well, and
to report at the next meeting on
the planting of the school grounds
in grain or produce of the most pro
ductive and necessary character.
The board then adjourned to con
vene in special session on Thursday,
May 23rd, at 7 p. m.
WHERE JS 5139?
The holder of Ticket 5139, which

- lach, has not yet claimed the money,

not presented within twenty days
from the date of the drawing, the

Superintendent V’olney Richmond
and Auditor Howard Turner, ac
companied by Mr. Richmond’s priv
ate secretary, arrived in town this
afternoon on their annual inspection
tour. They will proceed down the
river as soon as navigation condi
tions permit.
Fairbanksans are being tagged
today for the benefit of the Red
Cross. The tags represent a value
of fifty cents and practically every
one in the upper town had con

| The following report, regarding
j the organization of the Board of
Public Works and Charities, and the
work which that body will undertake
in Nenana, was read at the meeting
of the Nenana Commercial club
yesterday afternoon:
Pursuant to the wishes of the
respective organizations from whom
they receive appointment, Alexander
Fowler, representing the Loyal Order
of Moose; Howard P. Curtis, repre
senting the Pioneers of Alaska; E. L.
Loughlin, representing the Nenana
Labor Union; Ralph Waechter, repre
senting the Nenana Club; and Geo.
W. Pennington, representing the
Nenana Commercial club; met at
the Commissary store building at
9:30 p. m., May 18th, and effected
an organization that will be known
as the Board of Public Works and
Charities of Nenana. Howard P.
Curtis %vas unanimously elected
president of the board, and after
some informal discussion as to the
advisability of having the offica of
secretary and treasurer filled by
one member of the organization, it
was resolved that sueli action would
simplify the work that would nec
essarily arise, and Geo. W. Pennoig
ton was then elected as secretary
land treasurer of the board.
The purpose of the Board of Pub
lic Work and Charities is to system
atize and render more efficient, all
local charitable work of whatsoever
character.
The public of Nenana have been,
in the past, exceedingly generous to
every worthy cause. We give, and
give, month after month, to 1 >cal
benefactions. yet, sometimes in
doubt that our contributions have
been placed to the best advantage.
The Board of Public Works and
Charities, at the request of the or
ganizations by whom appointed, will
assume the obligation of supervising
all charitable enterprises that we
are accustomed to contribute to.
When entertainmenti arc promoted
■ for the relief of the sick, the un
fortunate, for victims of accident,
; or the indigent, for any cause Mat
j that merits public aid, our organi
zation will heartily co-operate w'th
the committees having su.-h work in
hand; will take eh.-uge cf the re
ceipts, and be responsible for a
proper and equitable distribution of I
all funds accumulated for . . h nur- I
poses.
The distribution of such funds :
will be by check or warrant, signed i
by the treasurer and countersigned
by the president of the board, and 1
the general public, whom we are!
striving to serve, will understand j
that this is work pertaining to our i
civic life, in which we all have an
equal interest; therefore the records
of the board will be open to in- j
spection at all times.
We especially appeal to all good
citizens of N'enana, for both moral
and financial support. Remember,
this work means the careful and
economic dispensing of all your '
offerings to local charity, and as a
pledge of your co-operation, we
earnestly ask that your name be j
sent to the secretaiy of the board j
for enrolment as members of the or- j
ganization.
We are considering the expediency '
of placing in all business houses, a '
card, certifying to their affiliation j
with the board in their efforts, and
whenever a subscription list or peti
tion is circulated, soliciting aid for
some charitible purpose, we earnestly
ask not only the members of our 1
business firms, but every citizen as
well, to insist that such subscription :!
or petition shall bear the stamp of!
approval of the Board of Public '
Works and Charities.
It must be clearly understood that
the activities of this organization
will embrace only local public work
and charity; and will, in no way,
touch upon or interfere with, the
affairs of the Red Cross society,
except to aid in every possible man
ner this world-wide service to hu
manity, that comprises far too broad
a field to render it amendable to',

We earnestly solict the generous
|aid of the entire community in the
performance of this civic duty, that
is of vital importance to each and
all of us.
Our funds now on hand consist
of $188.25. The above amount rep
resents the net gain from sundry
Ice Pools that were very efficiently
conducted by Mr. Woodbury Abbey,
assisted by a number of our public
spirited business firms, and around
this nucleus we hope to gather a
sum of sufficient magnitude to meet
any emergency that may arise.
Very respectfully submitted,

BOIL THE WATER
Dr Malcolm E. Smith, health
officer of the town of Nenan, has j
issued instructions to the public to
boil all water used for drinking pur
poses. The general flooding of the
town has contaminated all wells in
the flooded J rea, and the use of
this water, unless boiled, undoubt
?dly would result in much sickness. | _
3r. Smith directs that the boiling
jrocess be continued until it has
>een definitely determined that no
urther danger exists.
