Chief Surgeon of the Govern^
Hospital Will Enter Servioe
of Uncle Sam.
Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, ch'ief-®
peon of the Government hospital '
preparing to leave for the OUtsttf
| to join the medical corps, in re’spor^se
i to a summons, received a short time
ago. to report immediately at the
Pala Alto hospital base. Dr. Smith
will go to Fairbanks tomorrow and
endeavor to make arrangement to
go out by way of the government
post road, but should he find that
the road is not in condition now for
rapid travel, he will return to Ne
nana and take passage on the steam
er Tanana, leaving here Tuesday.
Mrs. Smith also wiii take passage :
on the Tanana.
During the absence of Dr. Smith,
Dr. David H. More will have full
charge of the Fairbanks division and
will be assisted by Dr. R. L. Simp
son, a prominent surgeon of Seattle,
who will come to Nenana shortly
; after the opening of navigation.
1 .Nenana is very fortunate in hav
i ing a surgeon with the ability
possessed by Dr. More, to carry on
the work here. The Nenana hospital
has become far famed as a source
of relief from bodily ills, and inas
much as Dr. More already has con
tributed largely to the success of
the institution, it is safe to predict
that cures will continue to be ac
complished under his able direction.
Dr. Smith expects to spend about
five weeks at Palo Alto, at the end
, of which time he hopes to be trans
ferred to active service at the front.
He does not know how long he will
be absent from Nenana—perhaps as
i long as the war lasts. But however
long the war may keep him in Eu
rope, he plans to return to Nenana
at the first opportuntiy to resume
his work in Alaska where duty com
pels him to leave off. The doctor
says he will not be satisfied until
he has tied Jack to the kaiser’s gate
at Berlin.
Ladies in the center and gent* all
around—everybody up to the bar
after each dance on Saturday night.
United States Attorney R. F. Roth
arrived from Fairbanks yesterday on
a several day visit in Nenana on
official business. He made the trip
down on the fast launch Victory and
reports a very enjoyable trip.
WM. CARPENTER
CAUSING WORRY
AMONG ERIENDS
Well Known Resident of Nensns
Disappears From Usual Haunts
Without Notice.
A quiet search has been in prog
ress during the past two days in an
effort to ascertain the present where
abouts of William Carpenter, well
known resident of Nenana, who dis
appeared from view last Friday and
who has not since been seen or
heard from by his numerous friends.
The absence of the missing man
was first noted by Tom Smith, pro
prietor of the Southern hotel, where
Carpenter was a guest. Mr. Smith
notcied that a room occupied by Car
penter had not been used for a
couple of nights, and not having
been advised of a contemplated
change of residence, Mr. Smith im
mediately set about making inquir
ies. And the more he inquired, the
deeper became the mystery.
! A number of the missing man’s
friends were informed of the dis
appearance and they, in turn, took
the matter up with the federal au
thorities and extended the search
to nearby towns and camps, with
out, however, obtaing any informa
tion of the character they sought.
! The object of the search appears
to have disappeared completely and
it is now feared that he is the
victim of some hishap.
Carpenter is a member of the local
Moose lodge. During his residence
in Nenana he has worked at various
restaurants, having been last m
ployed at Brooker’s cafe. He is a
j man of exemplary habits and stands
jjigh in the esteem of those who
Jf^ow him. He is about 42 years

JEW DESTROYED
BY FIRE ON LIKE
-- -
To insure greater freedom of
action, facilities for study, etc., and
more elbow room than to be found
in the rather confined quarters on
the camp cars stationed at Camp 22,
Messrs Sam Beatty a^id Micky Shea
invested in a beautiful, up-to-date
tent of the make and type gener
ally favored by big game hunters
and tourists with plenty of leisure,
and erected it on a previously select
ed site close to the main line of
the Government railroad and com
manding a fine view of the entire
'camp, the dragline excavator and
j Clear creek.
| As the nights and early mornings
were rather chilly, and with a view
! of making their future quarters as
| cozy and homelike as possible, after
1 much trouble they managed to se
cure a suitable stove which was duly
installed in their new tent home.
Last Saturday was selected as the
day for establishing themselves in
the tent quarters and word was
passed to Walter Hollerbach, Grady
! Summerlin, Jack McGovern, Jack
I Nelson, Fred Hupprieh and a few
more of the boys around Camp 22,
that their presence was desired at
a little informal stag party to be
. held that night in the tent.
That “The best laid schemes o’
J mice and men gang aft agley” was
i illustrated by what subsequently
i happened- Locomotive 272, puffing up
the side track with a string of
heavy gravel cars behind her, show
ered many sparks on her onward
way; some of which fell by the way
side and others on Sam and Micky’s
tent, which was soon ablaze. The
alarm was promptly answered, but
all efforts to put out the blaze were
of no avail—the charred frame and
the stove being the only things left
by the devouring element to remind
the boys of what might have been.

it will be well to no early tomorrow
night to secure a seat at the big
picture show that is being donated
by the Coliseum for the benefit of

Pathe and a Triangle Kay-Bee.
wonderfully to boost Nenana’s quota
This picture show is going to help
of $1,000 that just has to be col
lected this week. The proprietors
of the house and those connected
with it are donating very gener
ously, as are the men and women
who have undertaken the organizing
work, and the best expression of
appreciation of their efforts will be
a bumper house tomorrow night.
Seats should be selling at a premium,
but instead of that you can get in
without having to pay a war tax
on this occasion.
