WILL ROGERS TONIGHT
Will Rogers is not the lover in
“An Unwilling Hero’’, an O. Henry
comedy, which will be the attraction
at the Coliseum tonight. He says
he is content to be the hero, and is
perfectly willing that John Bowers,
suitor for the hand of Molly Malone,
shall do the sweethearting. Bowers
will be remembered by movie fans
as the lover of Helene Chadwick in
“Godless Men", another Goldwyn
production. He was born in In
diana and has had a long experience
in motion pictures.
After the show, a good place to
go—Palace of Sweet*.

PIONEERS WILL NOMINATE
OFFICERS MONDAY NIGHT
The meeting of Nenana Igloo, No.
17. Pioneers of Alaska, to be held
at Union hall on Monday night, will
be an important one for the reason
that officers for the ensuing year
will be placed in nomination. The
selection of officers at this time is
of particular importance, it is point
ed out. because the igloo will be
called upon early in the year, to
entertain visiting Pioneers from all
sections of the Territory, who will
come to Nenana to attend the an
nua! meeting of the grand igloo.
Aside from the important task
of choosing officers to act as hosts
at the March gathering, members
of Nenana igloo have a lot of work
ahead of them making the neces
sary preparations for the meeting,
and all oldtimers belonging to the
local igloo are urged to be regular
in their attendance at meetings in
order that proper support may be
given to the undertaking in hand.
The Monday meeting will start
at the usual hour and it is the de
sire of the officers that all members
attend.
SOURDOUGH ATTORNEY SAYS
OUTSIDERS WILL NOT SAVE
After an absence of about a
year, during which time he built
a fine home in the Puget sound
country. Major George Albrecht, of
the Iditarod legal firm of Albrecht
& Taylor, arrived from the States
yesterday, enroute to his Iditarod
headauartres. He will spend several
days m Fairbanks, however, before
starting on his long mush to the
Iditarod district. He will be joined
shortly by his partner. Charles E.
Taylor, who is enroute from Iditarod
with a dog team, and the two will
return together.
The major is of the opinion that
his partner will make the trip out
by way of Nancy, over which trail
there has been considerable travel
this fall. But they probably will
take the new Kobi mail trail for the
return trip, proriding tha: route
does not present too many diffi
culties. The major was advised by
his partner that the mail which left
Kobi on November first had not
reached its destination up to Novem
ber 21. and he is inclined to the
belief that there has not been
sufficient cold weather to put the
mail trail in good condition for
travel. Travelers over the Nancy
trail are making the trip out to
Anchorage in eight days, several out
fits haring reached the coast very
recently.
Major Albrecht says conditions
appear to be fairly good in the
States, but that prosperous times
have ceased to mean much to the
average American. Prosperity, ho
says, seems to be measured by the
number of extravagances one may
cultivate. People have ceased to
find contentment in ordinary com
forts and have developed a habit
of spending as fast as the money
can be earned—faster, in many in
stances.
The major sees breakers ahead
in the Euopean situation and con
siders it certain that the United
States will be drawn into another
world conflict. He predicts that the
present peace will not last more
than five years.

BLAZE IN MAIL CAR CAUSES
DAMAGE ON LAST TRAIN
Several sacks of mail, most of
which was consigned to Fairbanks,
and several sacks of clothing, con
signed to Cantwell, were partially |
i consumed by fire on Monday night
while enroute from the coast on
the last train. The burned articles
were in one of the mail cars and
the fire had reached considerable
I proportions when discovered and it
was with considerable difficulty that
it was extinguished by the train
crew, it being necessary to carry
water from the engine in buckets.
It is presumed that the fire was
started by sparks, which were blown
, into the car through the narrow
1 opening beneath the door. There
| were a number of war bags and
sacks of clothing piled in front of
the door, ready to thrown off at
Cantwell, and they were the first
to burn, two of them being almost
! completely consumed. From these
' sacks the fire was communicated to
the mail, piled high nearby and.
but for the timely discovery, there
i undoubtedly would have been very
' serious consequences.
The burning car was detached
from the rest of the train as a mat
ter of precaution, and so quietly
was the work of fire fighting done
that few of the passengers were
aware of what was taking place and
I some of them did not know there
had been a fire until they reached
Nenana.
The train arrived in Nenana on
time, in spite of a delay of more
! than two hours in the Broad Pass
section, and to the further handi
j cap of considerable snow on the
’tracks for a long stretch.
CONDUCTOR SESSIONS DEAD
Richard Sessions, oldtime conduct
or on the Alaska Railroad and one
of the most widely traveled train
men in the Northern service, hav
; ing railroaded in almost every part
of the world, died at Anchorage yes
terday morning, following a stroke
| of paralysis. He returned to An
i chorage recently from a vacation
i trip to the States and was on the
| Seward-Anchorage run when taken
i ill last week. He leaves a widow
and son, both of whom are in the
States at present, the son being in
attendance at the Pullman, Wash
ington, college.
