In a letter received on the last
mail by Miss Alta Russell, cashier
of the electric power service, the
news is contained of the marriage
of Miss Helen Hutmacher to Ed
Mclnnes, both of whom are well
known Nenanaites
Mrs. Mclnnes was formerly sten
ographer in the chief accountant's
office of the A. E. C. and resigned
her position to go Outside with her
parents last fall.
Her husband was formerly skipper
of the Commission’s power barge
Midnight Sun. and resigned his
position along about the middle of
last summer, intending to offer his
services to his country. He ex
pected to join the regiment in which
Frank Rotch is an officer, but it
would appear that he was unable to
get into the army for some reason
or other, and so accepted a good
position that was offered him in
Seattle.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Mclnnes were
popular members of the social set
in Xenana and their many friends
will be glad to hear of the inter
esting event.
The wedding, which was a very
quiet affair, took place at the
Cathedral, the near relatives of the
bride and groom only being pres
ent. Immediately after the ceremony
the newlyweds left for Everett,
where the honeymoon was spent.
On their return to Seattle they
went into residence in a four-room
bungalow, and are now planning
on a trip to Chicago.
LONDON.—Particulars and condi
tions pertaining- to the Edward and
Anne Seguin Scholarship” have been
announced by the Royal Academy of
Music in the statement that the first
competition under the scholarship
will be held in London April 24 next.
Competitors must be sopranos who
were born in the United States.
The winner will .receive two years'
musical education at the Academy
with a possible extension of that
period in cases of exceptional talent.
The scholarship was founded by
Marie Child Seguin, who resided for
years in New York, but who died
in Denmark in 1903. Under her
will a sum of money was left for
the scholarship which is designed
to perpetuate the memory of her
father ar.d mother who wete students
in the academy in its vert’ earliest
years.
Her father, Edward Seguin, fre
quently took a leading part in the
performances at the Academy, as did
Anne Child, whom he married. They
betaine opera signers and were seen
for a number of years at Drury
Lane and Covent Garden, but in
1838 they went to America where
they organized the Seguin Opera
company. In the course of their
professional careers they accumu
lated a large fortune which was in
herited by their daughter

OLD PAPERS FOR SALE AT

HBILl SAW MILL
■NOW ON WAY 10
The Howell sawmill located _>n
the Tanana river, about twelve miles
below Nenana and which was pur
chased recently by C. N. Banks, the
Big Chena logger, is now on its way
to the Banks' millsite, on Standard
creek.
The moving of the machinery and
fixtures from the old Howell mill
to Stnadard creek is being done
under contract by George Palmer,
the well known Nenana freighter.
A start was made last Friday
morning, when four two-horse teams
with a sled apiece went down to the
mill and loaded up all the machinery
and some of the fixtures, leaving
only the boiler and some of the
heavy pieces behind, returning to
Nenana with the loads on Saturday
night. On Sunday morning, teams
were sent to fetch the boiler and
heavy freight; this was safely ac
complished, the teams returning on
Monday evening.
A little rearrangement of the
freight was then made and the out
fit started for the destination yes
terday. and from the latest reports,
was making good time on the road.
The outfit was at the Joyce Lake
roadhouse last night and expected
to reach its destination this evening.
Arild Slippern. well known young
Nc-nanaite, may have got his dis
charge from the army by this time.
Xo definite news of this has been
received so far.
With many others stationed at
Camp Dodge, he was sent to Camp
Lewis to be discharged, and travel
ing on the Oriental Limited, arrived
at Camp Lewis recently. Here they
were attached to Co. 47, 166th De
pot Brigade, prior to being dis
charged.
At the Red Cross canteen stations
enroute to the coast, they were given
apples and smokes, he says. Their
train arrived in Seattle at 9 p. m.,
and the men were all given time
to look around until midnight. Those
of the boys who had relations were
given permission to stay until 6
a. m., and Arild managed to find
an aunt, and so was enabled to
qualify.
The strike came on when the boys
were there and they were informed
at camp by the commanding officer
that discharges would be held up
until the strike was settled. Shortly
after the strike went into effect, he
says that the 1st Infantry- and the
75th Infantry, with the machine gun
battalion, left Camp Lewis for
Seattle to be on hand in case any
serious trouble arose, and to guard
public property. The boys were told
to figure on a delay' of at least
two weeks ere they could get their
discharges.
At Camp Dodge, he says, the men
awaiting discharge are not given
any work to do or drills, but it -s
different at Camp Lewis, where the
boys have to put in their regular
number of drills, apparently much to
their disgust.
Arild will make tracks for San
Francisco, where his mother and
sister are at present, just as soon
as he gets discharged.
