ment.

RUSHING PLANS
Those In Charge of Celebration
Promise Record Blowout For
Railroad Town.
The committee in charge of the I
Nenana Fourth of July celebration
made a most encouraging report to
the Commercial club yesterday after
noon, and it is now assured that
Independence Day will be observed
here in a manner befitting both the
occasion and the town. Ample
funds, it was reported, were in sight
to finance the elaborate program
planned by the committee, and the
members henceforth will give their
undivided attention to arranging
the other details of the celebration.
Advices received from Fairbanks
indicate that a number of residents
of the upper town are planning to
do their celebrating in Nenana, not
withstanding the fact that the usual
celebration will be held there. The
number who will come to Nenana,
it is believed, will be limited only
by the facilities of transportation
available at the time.
It is recognized that Nenana now j
is in a position to celebrate on a |
scale greater than that of any other
town in Interior Alaska and that i
the town has, in addition, many na- j
tural advantages which are sure to i
| contribute in no small degree to the j
success of the festivities.
The committee was unable to re-1
port definitely on the proposed auto j
races. The matter has been taken i
up with a number of speed men of
i the upper town and if they can be j
induced to make the trip downriver
substantial purses will be hung up.
| for their benefit.
j The new ball grounds on the!
■ school reserve are taking form rap
idly and will be in splendid condition
! for the Fourth of July games. There
is a possibility that the Brooks team
will be here to cross bats with the
local players. A grandstand is to
be erected for spectators.
By the end of this week the com
mittee probably will have com
pleted their plans, and full announce
ment of the program will doubtless
then be possible. In the meantime,
the members desire the full co-oper
ation of all Nenanaites to the end j
that the celebration may be the big- j 3
gest and best event in Interior
Alaska this year.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Announcement is made that the
Nenana Athletic association will hold
a meeting at the Nenana club rooms

FAIRBANKS NOTES •»
«

,-as arrested today on a statutory
harge under section 2010 of the
'ompiled Laws of Alaska. The
omplaint was filed by District At
orney Roth on Saturday last- Starr
.•as released on his own recog
izance until June 25.
The arrest of Starr was the out
ome of a scandal in the upper town
n which several young boys were
nvolved. A gang of them inspired
iy stories of the Diamond Dick
ariety, were engaged in unlawful
iill-suits and had made arrange
lents to hold up, rob, kill and bury
ne of the youngsters who.was en
:aged in selling papers around town.
Three prisoners will be sent out
n Thursday. They will be in
harge of Deputy Marshal Edgar
’oppell with R. Y. St. George as
:uard. The prisoners are Paul Min
lick, an alien enemy, who will go
o Fort Liscum, William H. Smith,
to serve his sentence at McNeil’s
and Charles Olsen, an insane man,
who will be taken to Morningside.
A telegram was received here to
day from Delegate Suiter, contain
ing the information that the five
and a half million dollar appropria
tion for the continuance of railroad
work has been passed
The work of installing the boxes
for the trout hatchery was :o^i
menced today, under the direction
of R. S. Osbourne, a recent arrival
in Fairbanks. Mr. Osbourne came
into the ’ country to look into the
mining business. He has had much
experience in fish culture, having
made quite a fortune in the business
in the States. The boxes for the
hatchery are being installed in the
building formerly used by the Bar
thel Brewing Co., as a brewery,
which, Mr. Osbourne thinks, is an
ideal *place for this purpose.
The launch Nita arrived in Fair
banks from Nenana at 5 a. m. today,
with E. C. Nelson, Peter Johnson,
Jr., and Walter Hollerbach as pass
engers.
