'UNDS FOR ORPHANS
COMING IN STEADILY
No appeal for funds for the relief
if war sufferers has yet been made
n Nenana thet has not met with j
renerous respo .se. The per capita 1
■ontributions, it is safe to say, will
ompare favorably with those of any |
own ii^ the United States, and each
lew appeal finds the public ready j
o dip a little deeper into pokes to ;
issist the worthy cause.
The fund for the relief of the
'atherless children of France, for
vhich cbntributions were asked a
veek or two ago by Postmaster
Love, is no exception, the call hav
ng found many residents of the
:own, old and voting, eager to as
sist the little ones whose fathers
lave been swept from them by the .
cruel war. The small sum of ten |
cents is sufficient to keep one of I
the orphans a Jay, and $36 will
provide the necessaries of life for an
entire year.

FIVE-REEL TRIANGLE
FEATURE FOR SUNDAY
Norma Talmage, one of the most
beautiful and talented actresses in
the movie world, will make her first
appearance in Xenana tomorrow
night in the five-part Fine Arts
Triangle feature. ‘‘Martha’s Vindi
cation,” one of the strongest dramas
produced by this well known con
cern.
Miss Talmadge “just happened in
to pictures.” She was a school giri
Brooklyn when the notion struck her
that she would like to become a
screen actress. Her mother took her
to a studio and her rise in the
photoplay field has been most rapid.
She began with the Vitagraph at the
age of fourteen.
As Martha, in “Martha’s Vindica
tion,” Miss Talmage is given the
opportunity to display her rare tal
ent and she is ably supported by a
strong Fine Arts cast. The story
is one of a girl who sacrificed her
good name to shield the sister she
loved. There are many tense situ
ations and a clever little love story,
which ends happily.
Regular feature prices will pre
vail, fifty cents for general admis
sion and seventy-five cents for re
served seats. The show will start
at 8:30 o’clock.
AN APPRECIATION.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Caswell de
sire to express their appreciation

WELLIVER SUFFERS LOSS;
HUDSON BAYS TO RESCUE
In some unaccountable manner, (
liousehold good and chattels valued
it quite aconsiderable sum of money
;vere lost recently by Major E. R.
McGregor Welliver, of the Hudson
Bays. As soon as the news of the
loss leaked out, his comrades in arms
raised a subscription, which netted
quite a respectable sum of money, |
and presented it to the major to en
able him to make good his losses.
It also served to show the “esprit de
corps” extant among the officers
of the N'enana light cavalry (Hud
son Bays).
J. B. Bickford, chief clerk of the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
with headquarters at Fairbanks, was
in Nenana several days this week,
having made the trio down river
with a dog team. He was accom
panied by Mrs. Bickford and son
Kenneth, and Mr. and Mrs. Cien
Noyes.
