WHITES OF NENANA
The so-called native dance, which
took place at Union hall on Satur
day night, proved to be a very sue
■ cessful socia 1 affair, with more
■whites in attendance than usually
turn out for the regular Saturday
night dances. The natives were very
much in the minority, partly due
to the fact that a rival native dance
(was neld elsewhere; but the few who
;were there enjoyed the dance fully
las much as did their white sisters
.and brothers.
Among the whites attending were
many prominent citizens of the town
and their wives—and some without
; their wives—and all report a very
‘enjoyable time, with good music, a
■good flQor, and a variety of partners
to choose from.
Mrs. Belling, of the Fairbanks
; telephone office, has been on the sick
1 lift during the past several days,
her ailment being a severe attack of
the grip.

NEW STOREKEEPER
WAS WITH YANKEE
FORCE IN RUSSIA
Lieutenant Robert Donaldson, who
arrived in Xenana last week to re
enter the employ of the Alaskan
Engineering commission as general
storekeeper, comes to Alaska direct
from the United States army, with
which he served both in France and
in North Russia. He was in charge
| of the railroad store at Taikeetr.a
when the United States entered the
j war, and left the employ of the
|Alaskan Engineering commission to
jgo overseas with the 31st engineers,
! which was organized by Colonel
i M ears.
Mr. Donaldson was in France six
teen months, as master engineer,
jsenior grade, in charge of supplies.
and after the signing of the armis
'tice was assigned to duty in North
I Russia, where he received his com
imission as lieutenant. He was sta
tioned at Murmansk, where his out
jfit was occupied with the operation
|of the Murmansk-Petrograd railroad,
a large portion of which had to be
'rebuilt by the Americans. He was
jin Russia from January to the end
| of July and enjoyed the experience
: greatly, but was ready to return
ihome when the order came for the
• recall of the Americans.
t
Mr. Donaldson was 400 miles from
Archangel, where the American mu
tiny was reported to have occurred,
but was in close touch with condi
tions there and in a position to
know more about the trouble than
appeared in the press dispatches.
| He -ays there was no mutiny at all,
the American soldiers merely having
registered a complaint against doing
iwhat they regarded as more than
j their just proportion of trench duty.
‘They did not refuse to obey orders
|at any time.
Tiie Murmansk country. Mr. Dcn
■ a bison say.-, is a very uninviting dis
trict,. with rolling tundra stretching
out from the sea in every direction.
Fishing is the chief industry, with
:a limited amount of lumbering. Mur
mansk is quite a city, with possi
bilities of future great importance
as a seaport city, because of the
fact that the harbor is the only one
iin Northern Russia that is open the
■ year round. The Murmansk district
was very thinly populated before the
war, but is now filled with the thou
sands of refugees who have fled
from the Bolsheviki-occupied areas
These refugees are being cared for
largely by the Allies.
The quarters provided for the
American forces in the Murmansk
district were comfortable and the
• rations were even better than were
supplied in France. But the occupa
tion of the trenches about Murmansk
was not an attractive winter job for
the fighting forces.
Mr. Donaldson says there were a
considerable number of Alaskans in
the Nerth, but he does not recall
any from the Interior. Most of
them were formerly in the employ of
the Commission in the Anchorage
division.
Mr. Donaldson is a sourdough of
the Yukon country, having been en
gaged in mining on Eldorado creek,
in the Klondike, a number of years
ago. He had a lay on the Stanley & j
Worden ground in 1904.
The trip to Nenana was made by
dog team, Mr. Donaldson having ac- j
companied A. M. Smith from the;
end of steel on the coast end of the
Government railroad.
One of the things that impressed
the new storekeeper upon his arrival
here -was the fact that prices in
Nenana on clothing and numerous
other articles are lower than they
are on the coast, and even in the
States. He was also surprised to
find the local stores with such large
and up-to-date stocks of goods. He
likes the appearance of the town,
and says the people also look good
to him.
