With the usual large number of
members present, the Nenana Com
mercial club held is regular weekly
meeting last night at the quarters
of the organization in the Union
building. Matters of a routine
character, including the reports of
the several standing committees,
consumed the greater part of the
eevning, the only new business tran
sacted by the club being the ad
mission of three new members, the
■ granting of permission to the Ne
j nana club to use the Commercial
i club rooms under a temporary ar
rangeemnt, and the creation of a
j finance committee by amendment
to the by-laws.
| The new members admitted to
■ the club are William Sborgia, B.
, Tunison and Jesse Brown. The
membership of the organization is
I rapidly approaching the hundred
mark, the total enrollment now be
, ing 93, probably the largest mem
; bership of any commercial body in
the North.
Under the provisions of the by-1
law amendment adopted, the finance 1
committee of the club will consist
of the secretary-treasurer, as ex-'
officio chairman, and two members
>of the executive board. This com
mittee will pass on all bills before
! they are approved by the club, and
' no indebtedness can be incurred j
without the approval of the com
' mittee. A substantial vote of the j
I club, at a later meeting, is neces-j
; sary to overrule any decision of the!
committee. !
] Favorable action was taken upon
; the request of the Nenana club to
occupy temporarily the quarters of;
; the Commercial club, and a com- i
mittee, consisting- of Wm. Taylor.!
J. C. VanOrsdel and M. A. Schaeffer'
was appointed to meet with a Ne-!
nana club committee to arrange the j
details of the occupancy. It was •
also voted to have a phone installed, I
the expense to be shared by the *
two organizations and by the Labor*
Union and Mr. Gagnon.
Secreary Joseph informed the
members of a conference he had
had with Territorial Road Commis
sioner-elect Robert Sheldon regard
ing the road needs of the Nenana
district and had been assured that
considerable money would be ex
pended south of Nenana, the amount
depending upon the supply of funds
available for use in the' Fourth
division. Not yet having been
officially notified of his "election,
Mr. Sheldon was not prepared to
make a definite statement regard
ing his plans, but he admitted that
he felt kindly toward Nenana for
the splendid support given him
here. Mr. Joseph stated that he
had requested surveys for the
Kantishna and for Moose and Eva
creeks. Mr. Joseph also informed
the club that the request for the;
appointment of a resident of Ne- j
nana as a member of the territorial
road commission had not received
favorable consideration by the gov
ernor, a wire from Juneau having'
contained the information that!
James E. Barrack, of Fairbanks,
had been appointed as the Tanana
valley member.
Secretary Joseph reported the re
ceipt of a number of ore samples
and these, with others on hand, will
soon be placed in the" mineral cabi
net. recently purchased by the club,.j
j Letters have been written to all :
mining men and" prospectors thru- :
ought the Nenana district asking i
them to send samples of ore toq«
the club and it is hoped soon to!;
have a representative collection,1;
which will be of great informative j
value to the town. ji
The mines committee reported i
having taken up the matter of en- ■!
larging the local recording district
with mining men of the nearby I i
creeks, and expected soon to be' i
able to forward largely signed peti-‘:
tions to the district court at Fair- :
banks, requesting the changing of,
boundaries so as to permit owners jj
of mining property to transact busi- i:
ness at the nearest recording office- j ]
The publicity committee reported !:
having mailed personal letters to :
the members of the House of Rep
resentatives and -Senate, at Wash
ington, urging their support in
pending Alaska railroad legislation.
The committee also reported having
given publicity to the Broad Pass
trail, which is becoming very popu
lar with mushers enroute to and
from the coast. The distance be
tween ends of the railroad is now
! approximately only 160 miles, with
the gap lessening daily.
This committee was instructed to
take up with the House Appropria
tions committee' the matter of the
Ballaine opposition, which is re
i ported to have made its annual
appearance at Washington. The
i Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
and other civic bodies have already
taken action in the matter, with a
I view to blocking the efforts of Bal
I laine to obstruct the work of the
Alaskan Engineering commission.
Ballaine is a former resident of
Seward, where he owns considerable
property upon which there is said
to be a large amount due in taxes.
The failure of the Alaskan Engin
eering commission to confine their
town expenditures to Seward is be
lieved to have inspired the present
and previous attacks made by Bal
laine on the Commission.
The suggestion was made that the
Board of Public Works and Chari
ties be first in the field this year
with an ice pool, through which it
would be possible, as was done last
spring, to obtain a substantial
amount for local relief work. W.
H. Gilcher, the club’s representative
on the board, assured the members
that the matter would receive early
consideration.
It was also suggested that sev
eral lengths of fire hose and noz
zles be placed in buildings close to
hydrants, where they will be im
mediately available in case of fire.
This matter was referred to the
fire committee.
Twenty-two consecutive years is
long enough in one place, said Dr.
W. D’Arcy Chase of Nome, who re
cently went Outside. “The winters
in the Far North are a little tire
some,” he said. “The first few are
not so bad, but after about fifteen
winters holed up like a bear his
soul pines ardently for a change of
scenery. A residence in Alaska
does a man good. It makes him
self-dependent.”

BEAUTIFUL WATERFALL
WORKS WITHOUT NAME
ALBUQUERQUE, X M. — The
largest and most beautiful water
fall in the Southwest is unnamed
as far as the United States Forest
Service can learn. The nameless
fall is that of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona between Winslow
and Flagstaff on the Navajo Indian
reservation.
The Little Colorado makes a
shear drop of 100 feet at this
point. The width of the stream at
the precipice is about 300 feet at
a season when the stream is at its
higher levels.
The rock formation about the
falls are brilliantly colored; some
of the strata being red and yellow
which to a considerable degree con
stitute the unusual beauty of the j
falls.
