—
The proposal of the Alaskan En-!
gineering Commission to discontinue
its electric, water and telephone

discussed at a meeting of citizens
'held in the Union building on Thurs
i day night, and the matter will be
up for discussion at another meet
i ing to be held tonight, at the same
j place.
It was announced at the Thurs
i day meeting that Engineer in charge

River Coal Corporation, to take over
! the services mentioned and, upon
! the request of Mr. Donaldson, who
was unable to attend the meeting,
action on the matter was deferred
until tonight, it being understood
that Mr. Donaldson will be on hand
to «cplain the proposition made to
him.
The meeting on Thursday was
very' largely attended , practically'
! every business man and many own
ers of property being present. Mar
tin Nash presided as chairman and
R. C. Morris acted as secretary.
It is desired that there be an
i equally large attendance tonight, for
| it is probable that definite action
i will be taken. The meeting will be
(called to order promptly at eight

I PIONEERS INITIATE DRIVE
TO AID WORTHY OLDTIMER
i _
Nenana, July 8
i Editor News,
i Dear Sir
We are asking the valuable
i medium of your paper in behalf of
! Mr. Harry Heins, who is now total
I ly blind, rendering his use ex
tremely pitiful. Mr. Heins dees rot
belong to any organization ■ nd, as
the Government officials seem to
be unable to render him any relief,
! it is now up to his friends md the
' generously-inclined public to come
j to his relief.
Mr. Heins is an jldtimer in the
> country and, like most of the sour
doughs, has had his ups and downs,
! but was always able to take gc od
care of himself and be Lberal^with
others until this aifliction set in
; about three years ago. \V:th the
; gradual losing o? his sight, he was
unable to earn a livlihood, so that
I his savings are now -.onplete'y ex
hausted.
Dr. Thos. O. Lake has examined
his eyes and is quite confident that
if he is sent to an eye specialist,
in the near future, who will remove
! the cataracts from his eyes, that his
sight will be restored.
Q. F. Lehr, James M. Burrows
and R. C. Morris have been ap
pointed a committee to look after
this case; they are uuthc’ized to
ask for popular subscriptions and
; to arrange for the transportation of
j the unfortunate man.

ALFRED BROOKS IS COMING ;
TO LOOK OVER KANT1SHNA
- i
The News is in receipt of a tele
gram from Delegate Dan Sutherland,
announcing the coming of Alfred
Brooks, to look over the Kantishna
district, and expressing the hope that
the geologist can be induced to
make a trip into the Totatlanika
region also, to look over the oil
situation there. The wire from the
delegate is as follows:
‘•Dr. Alfred Brooks is planning
to go into the Kantishna this sum
mer to report to the secretary of
the interior on that camp. I am
urging him to try to go to oil in
dications in the Jumbo Dome sec
tion. The Nenana people should
urge him to go there when he ar
rives."
The Jumbo Dome section, re
ferred to in the telegram, is in the
Totatlanika district, and a number
of oil locations have already been
made there. Jumbo Dome is distant
only about nine miles, in an air
line, from the Government railroad,
at Lignite, and is easily accessible.
Samples taken from seepages in
the region have been very favor
ably reported upon and those who
have made locations are confident
the region will become a big pro
ducer of oil.
POPULAR MARY P1CKFORD
IN NEW FEATURE SUNDAY
Popular Mary Pickford will appear
at the Coliseum tomorrow night in
the second screen triumph produced
by her own company. ‘Daddy Long
Legs” was the first of the Pickford
productions, and critics say “The
Hoodlum”, which will be the at
traction tomorrow, is even better.
It should be sufficient to state that
the freckle-faced kid, who saw the
world go 'round from the outside of
a jug of hard cider, is a <uember
of “The Hoodlum” cast.
Putting a tight lid on French
heels, sport models, six maids and
two chauffeurs, Mary Pickford, as
Amy Burke, in “The Hoodlum",
becomes a professoress in crap
shooting, the conductor of the n y
gurdy, a chambermaid for bums and
an enemy to soap and water in her
story of a girl who loved her poor
father more than she loved her
rich grandfather, and in the .t vir.g
discovered a hero whose Bertiliion
measurements exactly fitted her 1
ideal of a husband. ■
The Hoodlum is an adaptation *
from “Burkses Amy” by Julia M.
Lippman, and is in six absorhing <
acts, well balanced with wholesome j
humor and dramatic situations.
