Uncertain regarding the present
; status of Senate Joint Resolution
No. 198, and determined to fight
its passage to the limit should there
be need of local opposition to strike
the unpopular measure from the
calendar, the mines committee of
the Xenana Commercial club has
directed a telegram to Delegate
Wickersham, requesting specific in
formation relative to the progress
of the resolution since its introduc
tion in the Senate by Senator Jones
on December 20. The resolution in
question provides for “the sus
pension of the doing of assessment
work on mining claims in Alaska for
the years 1917, 1918, 1919 and
1920, and extending to that terri
tory the provisions of Public Resolu
tion No. 10, Sixty-fifth Congress,
approved October 5. 1917, and for
other purposes.” The resolution
was introduced in lieu of one in
troduced several days before, cover
ing the same subject, the reason
given for its introduction being that
it “covered the situation much bet
ter.” - The resolution referred to
as having been introduced pre
viously, provided for the suspension
of assessment work for the years
1917 and 1918 and was known as
a curative measure, to protect Alas
kan claim owners against the alleged
insecurity of the Sulzer measure,
covering the same matter, which
was approved in October, 1917.
When Associated Press dispatches
on January 20, annouiced the pas
sage by the Senate of the Jones
resolution providing for four year
suspension of assessment work, the
local club wired a protest to Dele
gate Wickersham, objecting to the
passage of such a measure. The
reply of the delegate gave the club
to understand that the only bill
pending before Congress, relative to
asses ... : t work suspension applied
to the years 1917 and 1918 only.
This reply was received late in
January, more than a week after
the passage by the Senate of the
Jones joint resolution.
Now the club wants to know what
has become of the Jones four-year
suspension resolution, which the
records show to have been intro
duced on December 20. And for
the purpose of getting the desired
information, the following wire was
sent to the delegate last night:
Nenana, February 23,1919
“James Wickersham,
Delegate from Alaska,
Washington, D. C.
“Please advise present status
Jones Joint Resolution hundred
ninety-eight, suspending assessment
work, including nineteen twenty.
This club objects further suspension
assessment work as detrimeital best
interests Interior Alaska.

On the train leaving town on

D. ■ Browne and Mrs. J. Harmon!

Mrs. Caskey also has the honor
of being the holder of the first com
plimentary trip pass issued on the
Fairbanks division of the govern
ment railroad.
The party traveled in the com-:
fortable caboose and Mrs. Caskey'
expressed herself as being delighted
with the trip, as from the caboose
she was able to have a good view
of the country the train passed
through.
A short stay was made at Mile 29,
where the party had an opportunity
to have a look at Billy Lynn’s coal
mine. Lunch wa3 partaken of at
the engineering camn at the Cross
ing; and the end of steel, 'about
four miles beyo.id the Crossing, was
reached shortly afterwards.
PONEER OUNCE
ENTERTAINMENT
GREAT SUCCESS
A large and appreciative audience
gathered at the Union Hall last
Saturday night to participate In the
entertainment and dance given by
Nenana Igloo No. 17, Pioneers of
Alaska.
The entertainment commenced at
about nine o’clock, shortly after
the pi ture show. Dr. Diven opened
the program with a speech in his
usual happy style and also i«cted
as master of ceremonies, calling the
several items of the proram. Mrs.
Easterly led off with a beautiful
song, accompanying herself on the
guitar, and responded to the hearty
j recall by singing another pretty
1 song.
Miss Valentine Anderson, always
I a favorite with Nenana audiences,
was heard in a solo and aiso favored
the audience again in response to j
the inevitable encore. Frank liourke
then rendered a few humorous
stories, and was followed by An-i
thony Letray with a mouth organ
selection in imitation of the Scottish
bagpipes. Dominic Grilli proved an
acquisition to Nenana musical cir- j
eles by his rendition of the well
known song, “La Paloma." He sang:
the song in Spanish, and his fine j
flexible tenor voice was heard to'
advantage. He responded to the
recall by repeating a verse of the
song. The piano accompaniment
was played by Mrs. Sholseth and
the violin obligato by Prof. Berg
Frank Cleary recited “The Tale
of the Parson’s Son” in his fault
less style, and as an encore rendered
one of his own original compositions
relative to the last boat and touch
ing on the completion of the rail
road, which made a big hit with
the audience. He was recalled
again and recited the railroad legend
of Flannigan and Finnegan, to the
great amusement of the audience.
Mrs. Walter Gould favored the
audience with a solo which was well
received, and in response Jo a hearty
encore sang another- Slys was ac
companied by Mrs. Sholseth with
violin obligato by Prof. Berggren.
Mrs. Leon Kellum’s powerful so
prano did full justice to “Skylark
Love”, the singer responding to
the encore by rendering the snappy
song entitled, “Oh, Frenchie.” !
The musical part of the program
was brought to a conclusion by
Mrs. ,1. Harmon Caskey, whose
finished rendition of the beautiful'
contralto solo “Slumber Sea”, was i
greatly enjoyed; the singer receiv- j
ing a vociferous encore at its con
clusion. She was accompanied on
the piano by Mrs. Sholseth, Prof.
Berggren playing the violin obligato.
Mrs. Caskey, who is visiting Nenana, i
was heard for the first time by a
Nenana audience, and her selections
|
were greatly enjoyed. She responed
to the encore with a well rendered
catchy little song with an Oriental i
twang to it which captivated the1
audience.
Mrs. Caskey belongs to an order
that is closely allied to the Pioneers,
namely the Pioneer Women of
Alaska, of which organization she is
first past president.
A slight re-arrangement of the
seating accommodations was then
made and a space was cleared just
below, the stage, where a miniature
boxing ring was erected. Within
this roped space “Cyclone” Johnny
Scott, of Nenana, and “Sourdough”
Bill Siverly, of the Koyukuk, bat
tled for championship honors in a
spirited four-round match. The ar
rival of the boys in the ring with
their seconds and attendants was a
signal for applause. The boys pre
sented the appearance of having
just emerged from a general mix-up
with blackened eyes and bloody
noses. “Eat-em-up Russell acted as
second for the “Sourdough”, while,
“Knockout” Schmidt attended in a ;
similar capacity on the “Cyclone”.
Pete Schmidt, acting as ringmaster,
introduced the lads, while Larry
O’Keefe acted as timekeeper. As
soon as time was called the boys
went at it vith spirit, and through
out tv- fight showed that they had
been carefully trained and that they

knew the rules of the game.
The “Cyclone” did not belie his
name and showed lightning-like
swiftness in attack, and the “Sour
dough” was called upon to dodge
many a vicious jab, which he did
in masterly fashion. The boys held
the interest of the audience from
start to finish, for the duration of
the four rounds, and from time to
time earned well merited applause
for their clever work. The fight
ended in a draw, as the judgment
of the audience. Pete Schmidt
awarded the fight to .the “Sour
dough”, but the “Cyclone” claimed
he won on points and accused Pete
of being bribed to decide the way
he did. Then came the appeal to
the audience for a decision.
At the conclusion of the boxing
contest, the hall was cleared and
a large number of those present at
the entertainment indulged in danc
ing to the strains of the Coliseum
orchestra. The floor was in splendid
shape for dancing, and it was nearly
three o’clock when the dancers
finally dispersed after having had
a most delightful time.
