FAIRBANKS YOUNG LADY
IS VISITING IN NENANA
Among those arriving on Biliy
Butler’s dog stage was Miss Helen
Protzman, who is visiting our town
for the first time since it was built.
Her previous visit to N’enana was
at a time when the town was in
its embryonic state and was more
I or less of a desolate waste with
only a few tents and cabins to show
that the place was inhabited. She
was, at that time, one of a large
party of excursionists from the up
per town who journeyed hither
mainly to witness a game of ball
I between Fairbanks and Nenana.
The town looks a whole lot diff
erent now, of course, and Miss
Protzman is favorably impressed
with its looks at any rate.

Nenana Igloo No. 17, Pioneers of
Alaska held a very largely attended
meeting at the Union Hall last night.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 8 p. m., and during
the course of business Henry East
erly, Charles O. Swanson and Don
iel Carolan were initiated into the
mysteries of the order and made
members of Nenana Igloo No. 17
George Markus, past president
of Fairbanks Igloo, No. 4, as in
stalling officer, then proceeded to
install the newly elected officers
of the local igloo. Mr. Markus
conducted the beautiful installation
service in a very imposing manner.
The officers installed last night to
carry on the work of the igloo for
the ensuing year were as follows:
President—John II. Flower.
1st Vice President—E. A. Williams.
”nd Vice President- Geo. W. Woods
Treasurer—J. A. Slippern.
Secretary—Frank Rourke.
Historian—R. C. Morris.
Chaplain—Frank B. Moore.
Sgt.-At-Arms—Martin Nash.
Trustee R. Bouchere Eames.
Doorkeeper—Fred McGuire.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting, the local igloo presented a
beautiful watch fob to George W.
Pennington, the retiring president.
Steve O'Neil made the presentation
on behalf of the igloo in a very
neat little speech and in accepting
the gift of the igloo, Mr. Pennington
replied feelingly.
Immediately after the presenta
tion, the hall was prepared to re
ceive the guests of the igloo, who
soon began to arrive, and by half
past nine o’clock the large hall was
comfortably crowded.
A short entertainment, which was
much appreciated was then rend
ered; the items of the program be
ing a uounced by Fred Douse in
stentorian tones. The first item on
the program was a duet by Miss
I.uella Shaffer and Mrs. Walter
Gould, their choice being the old
and every popular “Juanita” The
voices of the singers blended well
in the plaintive strains of the old
song and they earned a well merited
encore, responding with “Suanee
River.”, Frank Cleary recited in
finished style “Spartacus’ tirade
against war and strife”, and in re
sponse to the recall gave Service’s
“Spell of the Yukon.” Steve O’Neil
then told a humorous story which
put his hearers in splendid humor,
and Dr. Diven brought the program
to a conclusion with a well delivered
speech in his usual happy style.
To the strains of the Coliseum
orchestra, dancing was then com
menced and was greatly enjoyed by
those who participated. The floor
was in splendid condition and the
dancers were in just sufficient num
ber not to crowd the floor, which
made the dancing very enjoyable.
“Home, Sweet Home” was played
at half past twelve, when the guests
of the Nenana Igloo of Pioneers dis
persed. after having had a very
pleasant evening.
LUND IS COMING
DOWN WITH MAIL
According to advices received by
phone today, Roy Lund left Fair
banks at 11 o’clock this forenoon
with the mail for Nenana, and
should arrive here early tomrrow
afternoon.
It is reported that Lund has 600
pounds of mixed mail, Outside and
local mail and of both classes, and
a very little freight.
He is traveling by way of the
! river trail, has no passengers and
expects to make a fast run to here.
He will probably reach Norman Had
leys camp for the night and will
make an early start tomorrow. If
he makes Hadley’s ranch tonight,
as he intends to do, it is quite
probable that the mail will get into
town by noon tomorrow.
The annual meeting of Grace
church congregation, which was held
Sunday night at the hour of the
regular service, was well attended
and the reports presented by the
custodian show a most gratifying
condition. Not only were all new
obligations for the year 1918 fully
met, but a balance of $82.18 re
mained to be applied in cancelling
the small debt carried over from
December 31, 1917. The church’s
only unpaid obligations are $132.22
of the $1917 deficit and $130 on
the piano.
Receipts from all sources $1547..45
Disbursements . $1465 27
Balance .$ 82.18
These two items will be included
in the budget for 1919 and paid at
an early date. It will be of interest
to the general public to know that
but a few hundred dollars more
than was raised in 1918 will make
Grace church an independent, or
self-supporting church. What was
raised last year, while things were
in a state of turmoil over war mat
ters, was, nevertheless, raised so
easily that only those in costant
touch with the fi Hires realized what
commendable work was being ac
complished by the community in its
own behalf. The report recognizes
with grateful appreciation the spirit
and good will of the general public
toward the work of the institution.
The Ladies' Aid is mentioned with
special emphasis for their vigorous
support, notwithstanding the almost
constant demands upon their time
and energies for other enterprises.
The Nenana News was hearitly
thanked and commended for their
most generous and always courteous
treatment in the matter of adver
tising. Likewise the Coliseum man
agement received hearty mention
for the many favors shown in the
running of slides, and in other ways.
The three official boards are con
stituted as follows:
Elders—J. A. Slippern, Dr. David
More, Kenneth Diven
Deacons—Alex Funk, John H
Flower, Carl Schmidt.
Trustees—Frederick D. Browne,
Alex Fowler, Oscar Rothenburg, one
year; George Markus, Earl Brown,
Robert S. McDonald, two years;
Dr. J. R. Bowen; Mike Cooney, H.
B. Joseph, three years.
The three boards will constitute
an executive board and will select
a treasurer. A formal session will
be called at an eatly date.

CZECHO-SLOVAKS ARE
AIDING SIBERIAN PEOPLE
PEKING.—One of the immediate
results o fthe Czech o-S’ovak’s suc
cess' in Siberia is the re-opening
of normal traffic on the trans-Si
berian railway, at least as far as
Irkutsk, the service between Vladi
vostok and Harbin having been in
operation for some time and it is no
strain upon the imagination to an
ticipate through communication to
Europe at no distant date.
The American Railway Commis
sion in Siberia has contributed to
this result. About eighty of the
.100 members of the Commission
which was accepted by the Kerensky
government went for months to
Nagasaki after the Bolsheviki revo
, lution, but the remainder spent the
time in Siberia, where by mixing
with the Russan workers and demon
strating simple improvements and
J up-todate methods they gradually
; introduced changes which have en
ormously increased the efficiency of
a portion of the line.
Probably the best thing about be
ing poor is in thinking of the fun
you think you are going to have
when you get rich
Of course we believe in dressing
up to go to church, but somehow
it is awfully hard to look godly
' in a tall hat and kid gloves.
