LADIES NIGHTS
AT NENANA CLUB
OFF TEMPORARILY
The change of quarters of the
Nenana club from their old place
in the Bowen building to the Ne
nana Commercial club chambers in
the Union Hall building, will ne
cessitate many changes in the uses
the club rooms have been put to
in the past.
Owing to the very limited space
now available, and the fact that
the arrangements made with the
Nenana Commercial club for the use
[ of their quarters are tentative, the
i quarters will not be available for
the ladies’ card parties as hereto
. fore.
This is only a temporary arrange
ment and just as soon as the club
has satisfactorily arranged its affairs
and has again gone into occupancy
'.of quarters of its own, the card
parties and other functions in which
; the ladies can also take part, will
i probably be resumed.
Announcement of this will b<
made in due course.

UNDERGROUND RESERVOIR
WILL BE MADE USEFUL
PHOENIX, Ariz.—The drilling of
the first of wells that tap an under
ground reservoir of 200,000 acre
feet of water, which, hydrologists
say, lies under the Salt river valley,
has been started by the Salt River
Valley Users Association. Three
well rigs have been set up in the
vicinity of Mesa and the other two
are to be started soon
The Salt River valley farmers
voted last August to spend $500,000
for the construction of from forty
to sixty pumping plants to develop
water to be used as an auxiliary
to the supply from the Roosevelt
reservoir.
The wells are expected to serve
a double purpose, supplying water
i
for irrigation and serving as a
drainage system to carry off the
underground flow that has threat
ened to submerge parts of the rich
valley land.
The influenza epidemic is vir
tually ended at all points on the
west coast, according to a wire re
ceived by the governor’s office,
from Dr. Figgins of Craig.
