NENANAITES ENJOY OUTINC
AS GUESTS OF FAIRBANKS
_
Nearly one hundred residents of1
Nenana journeyed to Fairbanks on
Sunday to enjoy a brief holiday in
the upper town, and most of then
returned Sunday night well pleased
■with the trip. The train left North
Nenana at eight o’clock and arrived
at Fairbanks before eleven, and re
turning, left Fairbanks at seven.
There were many autos at the
depot on Garden Island to welcome
the visitors and a considerable num
ber of the Nenanaites put in most
of the day joy-riding.
A ball game between the Nenana
and Fairbanks teams was scheduled
to take place at Exposition park dur
ing the afternoon, and a large crowd
was on hand to see the match. But
unfortunately, the game broke up in
a row before the end of the first
inning, the result of a controversy
arising from a decision rendered by
the Fairbanks umpire. After consid
erable wrangling, the Nenana play
ers were ordered off the field by
their captain and the game was de
clared forfeited to the Fairbanks
ans. The abrupt termination of the
game was a big disappointment to
the fans, the majority of whom left
the park convinced that a compro
mise could have been effected that
would have made it possible to play
the game through.
The result of the meeting is re
garded as particularly unfortunate
for the reason that it threatens to
break up the ball season in both
towns, but it is understood that
efforts are now being made to patch
up the differences and make a new
start, so that the situation may not
be so serious, after all.
CHIEF SURGEON WILL MOVE
TO FAIRBANKS AUGUST 1
In accordance with a general plan
of retrenchment, which has affected
Xenana in various ways during the
past few months, the Alaskan En
gineering Commission has decided
to limit the functions of the general
hospital at Xenana to emergency
work and to transfer the general
work to Fairbanks, where arrange
ments have been made with St.
Joseph's hospital to Handle railroad
cases under contract. The plan in
cludes the removal of Chief Sur
geon T. O. Lake to the upper town,
where he will make his headquarters
after the first of August.
The Xenana hospital will not be
closed entirely, it being the inten
tion of the commission to continue
the operation of the institution as
an emergency hospital, with a reduc
ed force, for the treatment of
emergency cases and as a relay
point between the canyon district
and the general hospital at Fair
banks. The hospital will have such
equipment and instruments as may
be deemed necessary, and the extra
supplies will be sent to Anchorage
or distributed among the other
emergency hospitals along the rail
road.
The hospital will be under the
immediate direction of Harry Aber
crombie, who will continue to pre
side over the dispensary as usual;
and he will be assisted by one nurse.
Dr. Lake will continue to have
charge of all the hospitals in the
Northern division and will have a
speeder at his command at all times
in order that he may make trips
over the line as occasion requires
Dr. Lake returned to town yes
i
terday from a several-day confer
ence with Colonel Mears and Fred’k j
D. Browne, and announces that the
plan, as outlined above, has been,
definitely determined upon, and it i
is his opinion that the arrangement!
is the best that can be made, under;
the circumstances.
Miss JTiriam Wood, of Connecti
cut, is spending a few days in Ne
nana as the guest of Mrs. Thos. O.
Lake. She arrived from the Outside
on the last boat and will be here
probably until the latter part of the
week, her plan being to return to
the coast by way of the Rishardson
highway. Miss Wood is engaged ir
Red Cross social service work, with
ueadquarters at Astoria, Oregon.
GOVERNOR BONE IS COMING j
TO SEE INTERIOR ALASKA
Governor Scott C. Bone and Sur-!
veyor General Carl Thiele, who ar
rived at Juneau recently from the
National Capital to assume their
official duties in the territory, are
enroute over the Richardson high
way on a brief visit to Interior
Alaska, and they should reach Fair
banks tomorrow or next day.
According to advices received at
Fairbanks on Saturday, it is the
intention of the two officials to
spend at least one day in Xenana,
and to return to the coast by way
of Cordova, the advices stating that
it will not be possible for them to
visit Anchorage on this trip.
It will not be known until the
governor reaches Fairbanks, what
the plans are regarding the Xenana
visit, but steps have already
been taken by Mayor Joe C’Con
nor to prepare a suitable reception.
A committee of citizens will meet
Governor Bone and Surveyor Gen
eral Thiele at North Xenana, and a
public reception probably will be
held ^ter, but definite announce
ment cannot be made until the de
tails have been arranged.
Both the governor and the sur
veyor general have been in Interior
Alaska before. The governor was a
member of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce excursion which visited
Fairbanks a number of years ago;
and the surveyor general was a
resident of the Fairbanks district
for a number of years prior to
stampeding to the lower river
country.

ing, and has been operated under
