COMMISSIONER
10 PRESIDE AI
TOWN HEARING
Those interested in the question
of electing a board of trustees to
conduct the affairs of Nenana, in
conjunction with the Land and In
dustrial department of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, which ex
ercises jurisdiction over all towns
along the Government railroad, will!
be given an opportunity, on Monday j
afternoon, to express their views ]
in the matter, as provided for by j
an act passed by the last legis-'
lature.
A public hearing will be held at
the office of United States Commis- j
sioner R. S. McDonald, commencing.
at two o'clock on Monday, and all ■
those in favor of such an election
as is proposed, as well as those op
posing it, will be permitted to ex
press their views.
If, in the opinion of the com- ;
missioner, the arguments indicate
that an election is desired, a formal j
order will be issued, calling for an
election, at which time the voters
will decide, by ballot, whether or I
not they want a board of trustees,
and at the same time choose such a
board, which will qualify or not, ac- :
cording to the result of the vote
on the main question.
The hearing on Monday has been
arranged by the commissioner at
the request of a number of prop
erty owners of the town, who pre-;
sented the request in the form of a
petition some time ago.
All propertv owners are invited
1
to be present at the hearing.
NATIVES STILL
SEARCHING FOR I
DROWNED BABES
Although a week has passed since
the canoe tragedy which resulted in ■
the drowning of two native children j
near the mouth of Nunivak slough.:
seven miles below Xenana, native
friends and relatives of the be
reaved mother are still searching1
for the bodies. More than forty ■
men were engaged in the search the
greater part of the week, and as1
late as yesterday it was reported to
The X'ews that 38 were still work
:
ing.
As already stated in these col-!
umns, practically everything that
was in the canoe at the time of the
accident has been recovered. But
not a trace of the bodies of the
two children can be found. The
river has been dragged and every
snag and sweeper examined for a
considerable distance below the
place where the canoe capsized, the
natives prosecuting their search to
the extent of removing an entire
drift pile at the point of a bar just
below the scene of the drowning.
It was regarded as almost certain
that the bodies had been swept in
against the logs and held there.
The victims of the accident, which
occurred on August 16, were the
children of Bessie Paul, a resident
i of the village above Xenana.

SUNDAY SHOW TO START
EARLIER FOR VISITORS
The management of the Coliseum
has announced that the show tomor
row night will commence at 7:46
| o’clock, which is considerably earli
jer than the usual starting time for
Sunday features.
A particularly strong attraction
will be offered, an equitable feature,
“The Dragon,” with Margarita Fish
hr in tlie leading role, supported by
a strong east.
The waterfront was thronged with
Nenanaites this afternoon to wel
come the boatload of baseball ex
cursionists who made the voyage
down river on the steamer Tanana,
arriving here at exactly two o’clock.
As the steamer swung gracefully
into shore, with band playing and
fans shouting greetings from the
dock and the boat, there was a rous
ing shout of welcome from those
on shore, and the visitors were es
corted from the boat in a manner
that must have indicated clearly to
theom that they were welcome ar
rivals.
The excursion steamer heralded
its approach by numerous blasts of
the whistle, and when the boat |
reached the dock there was a lively
exchange of whistle greetings be
tween the boat and the Commission (
power plant.
The appearance of a real band, J
the first ever seen by Nenana, was j
a most attractive feature of the ;
excursion, and the musicians may!
expect to find themselves among the I
most popular of the arrivals. The j
organization is a credit to the val- j
ley.
Among the arrivals on the Tan- j
ana were a number of Nenaites re-!
turning home from a visit in the'
upper town, the entire crowd on i
board numbering close to 100, in
cluding the members of the band
and the baseball players.
The excursion steamer tied up at j
the foot of A street, and will re - j
main there until ten o'clock tomov- j
row night, the hour set for the |
departure on the return trip to
Fairbanks.
