ARMY POST QUESTION WILL
BE CONSIDERED ON SUNDAY
An important meeting of the
businessmen of Xenana, and others
who are interested in the welfare
of the town and district, will be
held at Union hall tomorrow (Sun
day) afternoon, at four o’clock.
The meeting is called for the pur
pose of going into the transfer of
the military post from Tanana to
Xenana.
Lieut. Harold Stetson, post quart
ermaster, who has been invited to
address the meeting, will arrive
from Fairbanks at noon and, in a
wire to The Xews, received late
yesterday afternoon, the officer re
quested that the meeting be ar
ranged for Sunday afternoon, as
it will be necessary for him to
leave for Tanana early Monday.
The lieutenant will present facts
and figures at the meeting, regard
ing the proposed establishment of
the post at Xenana, and all are
urged to attend in order that there
may be a general understanding of
the question and be in a position to
assist in bringing about the trans
fer.
It is the general belief that the
transfer of the troops and estab
lishment of the post here would be
a great benefit to the community,
as well as a material saving to the
war department.
