NENANA, ALASKA
NEW CHURCH DEDICATED;
MANY ATTEND SERVICE
The dedication of the Presbyterian
church of this city took place last
Sunday. There was a gratifying
congregation. The ceremony was
simple but in keeping with the oc
casion.
The choir, which rendered several
impressive selections, was composed
of Mrs. F. S. Ryus, Mrs. R. S. Hilde
brand, Mr. Max Smith and Mr.
Robert Benner. The two ladies
sang a solo each, to the enjoyment
of the many present. Miss C. C.
Heid presided at the organ.
The pastor, Dr. Robert Joseph Div
en, chose for his text, “I came not
to be ministered unto, but to min
ister.” And following the sermon,
by the authority and power vested
in him, he named the church, “Grace
Presbyterian Church” of Nenana.
Another baby girl was bom at
the Commission hospital on Sunday,
the newest addition to the rapidly
growing population of Nenana being
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nels
G. Martin. Mr. Martin is an old
timer of the North, being at present
in the employ of the Alaskan Eng
ineering commission. Dr. Smith re
, ports baby and mother doing nicely.
The housewarming and dance giv
en the school house a week ago for
the benefit of Nenana’s new educa
tional institution, made available
for the purchase of gymnasium
equipment and other things needed
for the physical instruction of the
pupils, the sum of $155.50, that
amount representing the net pro
ceeds of the entertainment. The
gross receipts were $178.50 and the
expense $23.

OLDTINERS MEET;
The business meeting and smr.ker
held by the Pioneers at Grace Pres
byterian church on Friday evening,
were both largely attended by old
timers and a most enjoyable session
is reported,, with an abundance of
everything needed to insure the suc
cess of such an occasion. There
were songs, stories, smokes and good
eats.
Many additional names were added
to the charter membership roll of
the new igloo, bringing the total to
more than eighty'. Nearly two
hundred attended the smoker,
j The social was called to order by
Wm. Casey, temporary chairman of
the organization, and he appointed
Geo. W. Pennington master of cere
monies for the evening. Thos.
Riggs, Jr., Dr. Robert Joseph Diven
and Chairman Pennington each
made a few remarks, appropriate to
the occasioned and then followed
an impromptu, in which numerous
of the oldtimers present took part..
These “get together’ open house
meetings will be a feature with the
Pioneer boys this winter, and the
ladies, in the very near future, will
be invited as guests .
The next meeting of the igloo will
jbv i.-'Ici at Nenan i Labor Union
hall on Thursday evenin'', Novom

E. R. Peoples, head of the well
known Peoples establishment in the
upper town, spent several days in
Nenana during the week, returning
home on the Koland stage on Thurs
day.
Mr. Peoples believes that steps
should be taken by the merchants
of the two towns to improve the
Happy trail, with the object of mak
ing it possible for autos to cover the
distance in a few hours, each way.
He suggests the employment of a
crew of men to knock down the nig
gerheads, after which the trail could
be gone over with a drag and brush
windbreaks placed at those points
where drifts occur, and the trail iced
at other exposed places. The whole
work could be done, in the opinion
of the Fairbanks merchant, at com
paratively small cost. He believes
sufficient funds can be raised in the
upper town to drag the trail, if the
people of Nenana will eliminate the
niggerheads. With the trail im
proved as he suggests, it would be
possible, he says, to make the round
trip in a day.
Should the above improvement be
carried out, Mr. Peoples makes the
further suggestion that the traffic
of the trail be so apportioned, by
mutual agreement, that the autos
would carry all the passengers, while
all express and freight be left for
the horse outfits to handle.
W. H. Gilcher, proprietor of the
Tanana Sheet Metal Works, is in
Fairbanks on a business visit, having
made the trip up on the Koland
| stage Thursday.
