DECORATION DAY
In Che absence of any formal ac
tion on the part of local organiza
tions which usually take the lead in
the matter of observing Decoration
Day, a number of people are ore
paring to advance the date of the
memorial to Sunday, and it is ex
pected that quite a number will vi
sit the cemetery tomorrow for the
purpose of placing flowers on the
graves of departed relatives and
friends. An effort will be made to
obtain some sort of conveyance to
take a crowd out on the railroad.
The Tavern Cafe is being given
a spring overhauling, carpenters,
and decorators having been busy
most of last week. New linoleum of
attractive pattern has been laid
throughout, greatly altering the ap
pearance of the interior and adding
to the general attractiveness of the
cafe.
A. T. Willett has bought the
Jones bunLhouse property on Mar

property under lease during the win
ter, is moving back into his cabin on
First street.

CITIZENS INVITED TO MEET
SUNDAY TO DISCUSS FOURTH
Citizens of Nenana who are in
terested in proper observance of
Independence Day are invited to
attend a meeting which will be
held at tine office of Cimnfissioner
C. D. Leckie tomorrow-, afternoon
at two o’clock. The meeting is
called by Chairman Joe O’Connor,
of the Fourth of July committee
and whether or not the Fourth of
July celebration this year will be
a worth-while one will depend upon
the action taken at this meeting.
Chairman O’Connor firmly be
lieves Nenana can put on the best
i
celebration this year in the history
of the city, but success of the
plans depends upon the cooperation
received.
The meeting starts at two, and
everyone is expected to be there.

CITY TO HAVE BA1.L PARK
WORK ALREADY UNDER WAY
Baseball grounds, aviation field
i
and recreation park are in the mak
ing in Nenana as result of the re
cent decision of the city council to
make immediate use of the large
reserve set aside for park purposes
when the townsite was created. The
reserve is in the southeast par: of
town, the ground is high and dry
and the location is ideal for the
purposes for which the park will
be used.
The work of getting the park
ready for the season’s uses already
has started. The ground is being
dragged and leveled and the grand
stand and other fixtures are being
moved from the school grounds,
Theo. Thompson having been award
ed the contract to dismantle the
stand and rebuild it on its new lo
cation. When rebulit the grandstand
will face the south and the diamond
i wrill be arranged so that the sun will
not interfere with Yhe players as
it does on the school grounds.
There is ample room at the park
for a landing field for airplanes and
for a track for auto and other races.
The landing field will make it pos
sible for Nenana to accomodate the
airplane which is now enroute to
Fairbanks and which will be used for
aerial traffic betwen the two town?
and for exhibiting purposes, possib
lv with the initial flight at Nenana
daring the Fourth of July celebra
tion. It will also be available i i
case Government planes should ac
company the Presidential party on
the trip through Alaska.
LONDON WANTS TOURISTS
LONDON. May 26—American vi
sitors to England may obtain infor
mation of a genera! nature, or ex
pert guidance on special subjects

ing Cross, overlooking Trafalgai
Square, according to Alfred E
Johns, the executive secretary. Such
service to visitors will be rendered
either upon their arrival or in ad
vance of the trip.
“The scope of the Union’s ser
vice for American visitors is now
very eomphehensive.” said Mr. Jone
i “We can give information on where
j to stay, both in London and the
country, and lists are kept of hotel*
and boarding houses from which
suitable addresses are given. Cdur,
j cry tours are planned and travelling
guides are recommended.’’

the world war, lost their lives in

ASSOCIATION IS FORMED
BASEBALL PLANS SHAPING
The Nenana Athletic Association
was revived at a meeting: of ball
enthusiasts held this week and plans
are now under way for the organi
zation of one or more baseball teams
to represent Nenana on the diamond
during the present season. Captain
C. G. Jones was elected president
of the association and R. C. Morris
secretary ar.d treasurer, while the
difficult task of organizing the ball
teams and keeping them busy during
the season was placed in the hands
of Joe O’Connof. who is particular
ly well suited for the work.
It is the intention of the officers
of tile association .o sell member
ships, as was done previously, for
the purpose of raising funds need
ed to start the season. The mem
bership cards will be ready for dis
tribution within the next day or
two.
Quite a number of enthusiasts
have already made their appearance
on the diamond, for practice, and al
ready there is promise of ample
material for at least one good
team.
CLEARING BEE TO SPEED
WORK ON NEW BALL PARK
In order to expedite the neces
sary work on the new baseball park
steps have been taken to organize
a clearing bee* for tomorrow morn
ing, starting at ten o’clock, and
everyone interested is urged to
show up for work. Tools will be
provided by the committee, headed
by Cap:. C. G. Jones, Mayor Frank
Teufel. Manager Joe, O'Connor, of
the baseball club, and others and
the necessary work can be done in
a few hours if there is any kind of
a turn out.
There is some work to be done
on the street leading to the park,
and some work on the park itself,
and it is the desire of those at he
head of the movement to get the
work done without delay, so that
the park may be put to use immed
iately. both for baseball and for the
airplane which is expected from
the States shortly.
Volunteers are asked to meet
at the new park at ten o’clock.
GAME WARDENS LOSE JOBS
BECAUSE FUNDS ARE PELUK
Owing to the decreased appro
priation made by the last Congress
for protection of game in Alaska
two of the game districts in the
Territory will be discontinued a:
least temporarily and the two war
dens heretofore assigned to them
dropped from the rolls, according to
an announcement made recently at
Juneau by Gov. Scott C. Bone. In
past years Congress has appropriat
ed S25,000 annually for game pro
tections, the amount being reduced
by the last Congress to 20,000.
This reduction said the Governo'
made it impossible to continue tin
work with the same number of war
dens that is now employed. Each
warden’s allotment is the minimum
on which the work can be carried
on to any reasonable degree of sat
isfaction, making it unwise to at
tempt to maintain a full force on
the smaller allotment for next year
The Nome warden's office ha
been abolished entirely and no pro
vision made for that district. This
has been held by John Hancock.
The Anchorage office now held
by Henry Dorman is the second one
to be closed. The Anchorage game
district, however, has been consoli
dated with the Seward district and
placed under the supervision of Geo.
Cotter of Seward.
The native reindeer herders of
the Akiak region were in conference
| at Akiak this spring, over fifty of
them being present. Ten of the
j chief herders sat as a jury to settle
i disputes.
j An imported counter has jus1
been installed at the Northern cafe
• completing the renovation of that
I establishment. New linoleum was re
cently laid throughout the building
and chair stools installed, giving the
cafe the most attractive appearance

COUNCILMEN MEET STEESE;
TALK OVER CITY BUSINESS
Col. .Jas. G. Steese, head of the
Alaska Railroad, who passed thru
N'enana yesterday enroute to his
headquarters in Anchorage, was met
at the depot by Mayor Frank Teufel
and Counc-ilmen Louis Johnson, and
the three conferred on matters of
importance to the city during prac
tically all the time the train was at
:he depot.
The confemece had to do largely
with the N'enana hospital but Colonel
Steese informed the aldermen that
he was not in a position to state de- j
finitely what action ultimately would j
be taken. He said he would go into i
the matter thoroughly upon his re
turn to the coast and advise the
council later of his plans.
The cost of operating the hospi
tal is such he said, that the Alaskan
Engineering Commission cannot con- i
tinue to put up the funds beyond tfoe i
time the hospital is actually needed
for lailroad purposes.
I
Colonel Steese spoke enthusiastic
cally regarding the outlook for the
development of a large volume of j
river traffic in connection with the
railroad and said a fleet of six ±
Government steamers might be op
erating from Nenana within the
next year or two. If the necessary
authority can be obtained from Con
gress, two passenger steamers may
be put on the upper Yukon river
run next summer for the accomoda
tion of tourist traffic.
The regular train will arrive from >
the coast this afternoon, a day late
on account of the delay in reach
ing the coast on the last trip. The
Tuesday train will have mail from
the Victoria.
