FROM OLD COUNIRY
Among the arrivals on the steam
er Tanana Saturday night were Mr.
and Mrs. W. A. Coghili, who came
to Xenana almost direct from Eng
land, where they were married sev
eral weeks ago, at the home of the
bride in Burryport. Their depart
ure from England was delayed
somewhat by lack of steamship ac
commodations, but they saw some
thing of England, while waiting for
a boat, and, after reaching the
States, they traveled leisurely across
the continent, enjoying the sights
along the way.
Mr. Coghill reports a delightful
vacation, but is glad to be home
again. And his bride appears equal
ly well pleased to be in Alaska,
where she has found a cozy home
awaiting her, with everything ready
to begin housekeeping. The house
was furnished and made ready for
|occupancy by Manager Bill Coutts,
of the Coghill store, and Mrs. Coutts.

SIAM WORK
The newly-elected members of the
board of trustees of the town of
Xenana held their first meeting at
the townsite office yesterday after
noon, the meeting having been called
for the purpose of electing officers
and taking over some unfinished
business left by the retiring advis
ory board. The purpose of the
meeting was stated by Oscar Roth
enburg, representing the advisory
board, whereupon W. C. Gagnon
was chosen temporary chairman for
the purpose of organization.
Mr. Rothenburg was placed in
nomination for president and ex
jcfficio mayor by R. G. Southworth,
and elected by acclamation, there
being no other nominees. Mr. Roth
jenburg received the highest vote at
| the recent election, and he also
j comes to the new' board with con
jsiderable experience in town af
| fairs, having served during the past
(year as a member of the advisory
j board, which the new board suc
ceeds. Following the election of a
president, the board gave the clerk
ship to R. G. Southworth, the nom
| ination being made by Mr. Gagnon.
A committee consisting of W. C.
Gagnon, the president and the clerk
was named to formulate rules for
the governing of the board.
The unfinished business taken
ever by the trustees from the ad
visory board related to the building
of a dog kennel on Third street
between Market and A streets,
against which there appears to have
been come complaint on the part of
other property owners in that block.
jThe petition protesting against the
| kennel was not available at the meet
jing. necessitating a postponement of
I the question until a later meeting.
The r. tier of fixing up the town
j site building, at an estimated cost of
J $411.62, was also brought to the at
j tention of the board, but action was
i deferred. The suggested improve
iments were considered by the ad
j visory board several weeks ago. but
j the matter was postponed from time
| to time, finally being turned over
jto the new board for action.
Townsite Manag-er Carl Schmidt
I read a lengthy report to the board,
regarding the financial standing of
the town, and explained certain
matters regarding assessments. The
financial report will be published as
I soon as certain details, now lacking,
jhave been added to it.
j Trutee William Taylor informed
, the board of his intention of re
j signing, explaining that he could not
! serve for certain reasons which he
| did not disclose. He was prevailed
jupon, however, to serve until such
time as the board is fully organ
ized.
Another meeting of the trustees
will be held tonight, at which time,
it is believed, M. J. Cooney and
M. V. Tyler will be present to give
the board additional information
relative to the matters > left unfin
ished by the advisory board.
The trustees will hold their meet
ings in the townsite building, as did
the advisory board, but it has not
yet been decided how often they will
meet. Yesterday’s meeting was at
tended by all the members of the
j board, including Oscar Rothenburg,
! R G. Southworth, W. C. Gagnon,
jTc.m Smith. Herman Rosburg, S. E.
j Parks, and William Taylor.

CONNERS RECEIVES
LETTER* WARD
Upon his arrival in town several
days ago from his grading camp on
the Nenana-Fairbanks line, Joe Con
ners found awaiting him at the post
office a letter from France, acknowl
edging t^e receipt of sufficient mon
ey to keep a little orphaned French
girl for one year. The letter was
written by the child's mother and
contained expressions of heartfelt
gratitude so genuine in tone as to
convince Conners that his money
had been well spent.
Translated into English, the letter
reads as follows:
“Paris, August 4, 1919.
“Dear Benefactor:
“It is with pleasure that my little
daughter and myself received your
lovely gift of money, and we here
with express our thanks for your
kindness shown on our behalf, which
we will never forget.
“The little one is doing nicely and
she begs me to tell you that she
sends you a sweet kiss from France.
On my part, I send you. with many
thanks, my respectful regards.
"WIDOW WE1SGERBER.”
Joe’s little ward is nine years of
age.
