OLD LANDMARK DISAPPEARS:
FIRST BUILDING IN NENANA
With the removal of the last ves
tiges of the old log building on the
waterfront, east of the big govern
ment warehouses, a landmark ?f the
early days of Xenar.a. the first habi
tation of a permanent character
built here by the first white settler,
has ceased to exist. The oM Duke
cabin, known to many of the sour
doughs of the Interior, was the first
cabin to be built on the Duke home
stead. since surrendered for town
building and railroad purposes, used
as a re.-idence for the Duke family
and as a roadhouse where the weary
traveler found shelter and cheer
from stress of weather and storm.
Its well-filled cellar, in the good old
days, eairied the choicest brands of
what the market afforded in the way
of liquid comforts. The old road
house was the scene, occasionally,
of convivial gatherings, got up on
the spur of the moment by chance
visitors to dispel the gloom of a
long winter night.
The old order of things has given
way to the ne%. with the result that
the Xenana waterfront is now al
most clear of the old litter and is
being made daily more attractive
for the benefit of residents and
visitors.
The roadhouse building was used
by the railroad organization for a
number of year? as a warm siorage
building.
NENANA CELEBRATION PLANS
ARE TAKING FORM RAPIDLY
Members of the general Fourth of
July celebration committee have as-1
sured The News that plans for the
big jollification are taking form
rapidly and that indications point
to the most successful celebration
in the history of the city.
Full page posters, in two colors,
have been printed and widely dis
tributed. All of the camps and sec-'
tions along the Alaska Railroad have !
been supplied, as well as settlements ■
along the Tanana and Yukon rivers.
Several of the big advertising sheets ,
are conspicuously displayed in ■
Fairbanks and within a few days
the residents of towns as far a wav
' I
as Ruby, and even Nome, will be
reading the large-lettered anr.c^nce- •
ments Not that the committee hopes
to attract visitors from the far-off
communities, but it is rightly be-:
lieved that the advertising will be
of ultimate benefit to Xenana. 1
As previously announced, the big'
feature of the celebration will be;
the series of ball games between
Anchorage and Xenana teams, the
opening game being scheduled for
Sunday, July 2. !
It is also expected that the parade
will be a big feature. Every auto
in town will be entered and pre
parations also are being made to use
all other vehicles, several of which
will be transformed into attractive
floats.
The athletic events, which will
be staged on A street, promise to be
more interesting than usual on ac
count of the many new people in
town. There will be all kinds of
events for old and young and some
very substantia! prizes will be hung
,up:
The comm:tteemen are not making
all of their plans known, it being
. their intention to hold some of the
announcements in reserve as sur
I prizes, but they do not hesitate to
say that there will be nothing lack
ing to insure the success of the
celebration.
TRYING TO RUSH BONUS
WASHINGTON’, D. C., June 17

sion of the Republican leaders

i tion of the tariff measure.
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL TO WAIT
WASHINGTON. D. C., June 17—
I Chairman Campbell, of the rules
i committee, informed the Republican

the senate, to conference.
