and the Outsdie.
On her way down the river from
Fairbanks she stopped near twelve

and two pasengers from Carl White’s
launch, which met with a mishap at
this bar which crippled her engines.

were C. S. Crider, Frank Doner,
George Holmes, Joe Pearson, Mrs.
G. W. Gasser and Mrs. A. B. East
erly.
She also landed a little mail and
a few tons of freight consigned to
the A. E. C. and the N. C. Co., and
several local merchants, also four
horses for George Hobar.
The passengers on board, in tran
sit were:
For Seattle—Ed Nyberg, V. John
son, O. Johnson, Sam Sea, E. W.
Moyer, Jack Martin, Mrs. W. F.
Whitely, W. F. Whitely, Jr-, G. A.
Taylor, Mrs. J. S. Whitman, Tom
Burnet and Louis Corkish.
For Tacoma—Tom Utigaard.
For Dawson—Volney Richmond.
The passengers embarking at Ne
nana were:
For Seattle—Denis Carara, Mrs.
Denis Carara, Mrs. J. A. Slippern,
Miss Thora Slippern, E. J. Hut
macher, Mrs. Hutmacher, Miss Helen

the steamer Tanana will return up
river.
TONIGHT’S SHOW
Will MARK END
OF ENGAGEMENT
The Magnificent Movies Will Be
Shown for the Last Time At
the Coliseum Tonight.
David Griffith’s great movie “The
Birth of a Nation” was shown at the
Coliseum yesterday afternoon, and
the equally magnificent play, en
titled “Intolerance”, was put on
last night. Although the attendance
was not very large at the matinee
a very large and appreciative audi
ence gathered at the popular show
house at night and hearitly appladed
the rare and beautiful scenes thrown
on the screen in “Intolerance” which
was shown for the second time.
Many among the crowd last night
saw the picture when it was first
shown also.
“Intolerance” was again thrown
on the screen this afternoon; it was
the last opportunity given Nenana
ites of seeing this wonderful feature
and many availed themselves of the
opportunity. Tonight “The Birth of
a Nation” will be shown for the
last time, and those who have not
seen it should not fail to do so.
These two pictures are the most
wonderful of their kind that were
ever produced, and created a sensa
tion wherever shown in the States.
Tomorrow night, the Coliseum will
put on the strong Triangle feature
entitled a “Microscope Mystery,” a
new kind of detective story. Con-,
stance Talmage, who took a leading
part in “Intolerance” is featured in
“The Microscope Mystery” with Wil
fed Lucas.

with his mother, is trying to get in
touch with Second Lieutenant Frank
Rotch, late skipper of the Midnight

ment Frank is in. Bill Thomas
is with Mclnnes and will probably
also join the same regiment if possi
ble to do so.
Mr. and Mrs. W- J. Hubbach are
still in Seattle, their departure for
Baltimore being delayed owing to
the bad weather prevailing there
now. It is reported that Mr. Hub-'

may stay in Seattle for some time
to come. i
M. R. Healey, Howard Curtis,

TELEGRAPH REPAIR
The army launch Benchley ar
rived in port late on Saturday with
a party of seven soldier boys, who
are engaged in making repairs to
the telegraph line all the way from
Tanana to Chena. They left this
morning for a point about six miles
below town to make some repairs,
after which they will come to town
again for a short time end then pro
ceed up the river.
The detachment is in charge of
Corporal Swenson, the other men
of the party being Privates Wilson,
Draper, Hendrix, Towbrook, Terrill,
Crowden and Kelly.
The suppies and camping equip
ment of the party are carried on
board the Benchley, the party mak
ing camp every night wherever the
end of the day's work finds them.
They are going over the telegraph
line very thoroughly, making all the
necessary repairs, and in some places
where bank erosion has thrown it
too close to the water’s edge, the
line is moved back to a place of
safety from the floods and the ac
tion of the ice at the breakup.
The boys were all very glad to
be in Nenana, the livqst town in the
Tanana Valley, and were around
town taking in the sights and look
ing up old friends, especially Crow
den, who was only recently trans
ferred to Gibbon from Nenana.
Some of the boys expect to be sent
Outside before the close of naviga
tion.
The party expects to finish the
work allotted to them and to return
to the army post at Tanana before
the freezeup.
