HALLOWEEN PARTY
ENJOYED BY MANY
The Halloween masquerade, which
was held at the Coliseum on Wed
1 nesday night, was one of the most
' enjoyable affairs held in Nenana
! and very largely attended. There
| a great number of new and some
very pretty costumes in evidence,
i but the majority apparently cos
1 turned with a view to enjoying the
dance rather than prize winning.
The floor was filled with dancers
from the start of the grand march
until an early hour in the morning,
and the balcony and boxes were
I crowded wit]) spectators during the
! greater part of the evening.
I STAGES MOVING REGULARLY
Although there is not yet snow
enough to make good sleighing, two
stages are making regular trips be
tween Nenana and Fairbanks and
dog teams are becoming more nura
eraus daily, many of them enroute
to various parts of the district.
The first dog team to make the trip
from Fairbanks was driven into
town early this week by Billy But
ler, with Attorney Cecil H. Clegg
as a passenger. They made the
run down in two days, traveling by
way of the Ohio roadhouse.
The two horse rigs operating be
tween the two towns are the Roland
mail stage and the Thelin stage.
Their schedules are arranged in
such a manner as to give the public
a splendid service. And when the
trails improve sufficiently, the ser
vice will be still further improved
by reducing the time to one day be
tween the two points
SCHOOL WILL OPEN
DOORS ON MONDAY
Nenana’a first school term will
commence on Monday, with Miss
Helen Kobe in charge of the several
classes, which will range from the
primary to the higher grades.
I The building was formally turned
over to the school board today and
everything is in readiness for the
I commencement of the term.

GREAT SUCCESS
The housewarming and dance, for
| the benefit of the Nenana Public
school, which is in progress as the
News goes to press, is a most grati
fying success in every respect, the
attendance being exceptionally large
and the dance being a most enjoy
able affair, with good music, new
floor and a delightful luncheon.
Nearly 500 tickets were sold,
'which means that a very substantia!
1 sum |ias been realized for the pur
chase of needed equipment for the
school.
The housewarming has given the
people of Nenana an opportunity to
inspect the new school, which was
constructed under the direction of
Townsite Manager F. S Ryus, and
the many complimentary remarks
heard indicate that the public is
well pleased wit|| the attractive new
structure, which was built with a
liberal portion of the money refund
ed from the sale of lots.
WORK ON PHONE LINE
|
IS NOW PROGRESSING
| The work of digging trenches for
I the underground telephone wires of
1 the new telephone system to be in
| stalled by the Alaskan Engineering
j commission, was started during the
week and is proceeding rapidly, con
' sidering the fact that the ground is
' crusted with frost and must be
j thawed in advance of the excava
tion. Supt. B. E. Holificld, of the
! electrical department of the com
i mission, states that underground
wires will be laid throughout the
business district and that the system
' when finally installed, will up-to
date in every respect, with modem
phones and a central station housed
in a building erected especially to
accommodate the new switchboard
and general office equipment. Work
on the building was started some
| time ago and it will be ready for
occupancy by the time the linemen
are prepared to install the phones.
NEW DORMITORY READY
FOR RAILROAD WORKERS
The splendid new dormitory
i which was built for the aceommoda
: tion of the employees of the Alas
! kan Engineering commission at pres
! ent bunking in the temporary tent
quarters, is now ready for occpancy
and there doubtless will be a gen
I eral movement of personal belong
j ings in that direction within the
, next day or so. The building is one
j of the largest on the commission
reserve and will provide o most
comfortable home for the big family
of workers who will be quartered
I there. It is steam heated and pro
jvided with all the other modern con
j veniences.

j CHURCH NOT READY;
SERVISES POSTPONED
Delay in completing the Presby
| terian church building has made it
I necessary for Rev. Robert Joc.eph
! Diven to announce another postpone
! ment of tbo opening service. It
| can be said with confidence, how
i ever, that the building will be ready
I a week hence and preaching will be
resumed at that time.
Sunday school will be held at the
new church tomorrow in the com
pleted portion of the building.
NEW HEATING PLANT
TO KEEP HOSPITAL WARM
Steamfitters are busily engaged
in installing the new heating plant
which will be used to heat the Com
mission hospital this winter and in
the winters to come. The increased
size of the hospital made it neces
sary to instal a larger heating plant
and in making the change, hot water
is being substituted for hot air.
The plant is being installed by the
Tanana Sheet Metal Works, this
firm also having also installed the
radiation, in the new dormitory,
■which gets its heat from the Com
mission power plant.
Mr. and Mrs. Pomeroy, who snent
the summer at Camp 17, where Mr.
Pomeroy was engaged by the Com
mission, are recent arrivals in town,
and as his duties have been trans-.
ferred to this place, they will make
their home in Nenana during the
remainder of the winter.
! The Koland stage arrived from
Fairbanks on Wednesday evening,
carrying mail, express and four pas
sengers. The passengers were Dr.
and Mrs. Bowen, Isador Stein and
