CLUB VOTES TO
GIVE MONEY TO
THE RED CROSS
Various Organizations of the City
Will Be Asked to Donate
to Local Drive.
The Nenana Commercial club will
make a substantial donation to the
local Red Cross this iveek, the mem
bers of the organization having
voted, at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon, to contribute as many
dollars as there are members.
Action was taken at the sugges
tion of Secretary H. B. Joseph, who
informed the club that all organi
zations of the city were to be in
vited to give their financial assist
ance to the drive, which started to
day. The letters were being pre
pared yesterday, but the club de
cided not to await the receipt of
the formal invitation because of the
fact that another meeting would not
be held until after the close of the
drive.
In addition to giving their finan
cial support to the campaign for
funds, the members of the club will
assist the ladies in such other ways
as they can while the drive is in
progress.
MOODY LAUNCH BRINGS
SEVERAL PASSENGERS
The Moody launch arrived from
Fairbanks yesterday afternoon with
a number of passengers and a con
siderable quantity of mail of all
classes. The trip was enlivened by
a collission with a large cake of
ice, and but for the prompt action
of Skipper Moody, in handling his
engine, serious trouble doubtless
would have resulted. The launch hit
the ice a fairly hard blow and then
careened, but aside from giving the
passengers a scare, no damage re
sulted. Wind shields erected by the
passengers obstructed the view of
the pilot to the extent that he did
not observe the ice until the boa!
was almost upon it.
The passengers arriving were; F
D. Browne, Peter Grandison, Mas
Love, Mrs. Max Love, Mrs. Ed Lund
Everett Dilley.
MOOSE MEETING

nana Lodge, Loyal Order of Moose

The Moody launch left for Fair
banks this morning with a barge
in tow, the cargo of the barge con
sisting of five mules, the property
of Ed Fawcett, which are being
moved to the upper town.
Fred Carter, the Fairbanks auto

BELOW TOWN BY|
LARGE ICE JAM
I Navigation Between Nenana and
Points on Lower Tanana la
Being Held Back
That navigation between Nenana
and points on the lower Tanana
river is being greatly delayed by the
continued cold weather, is the re
port which reached town late yes
terday. upon the return of one of
the Commission launches from a run
I down stream on an inspection tour.
At a point about ten miles down
'river, both channels of the Tanana
are blocked by an ice jam which
shows no signs of giving way im
mediately. It is the opinion of
( those who inspected the jam that it
j will rould until warm weather causes
| a rise in the river.
i Other reports received from the
lower river state that the Yukon
: river has not yet broken at Tanana
j and there are those who predict that
' the ice will hold there until the
; first of June, unless there is a ma
1 terial change in the weather. Simi
lar conditions prevail at other points
jin the Interior, the delay in the ar
j rival of spring having interfered
j seriously with the opening of navi
gation on practically all of the nav
igable streams- The condition, ap
parently, is general throughout the
entire Interior country, from Daw
son to Bering sea.
