NENANA WILL HAVE 1
GOOD CELEBRATION!
t
The eagle* will scream in Nenana
on July Fourth and Fifth. In other
, words, Independence day will be en
thusiastically observed with a cele
bration appropriate to such an aus
picious occasion. The celebration
will be as good as any ever held in
I Nenana, and better if it is possible
; to make it so.
! The work of making preparations
i for the celebration was started last
i night at a meeting of citizens held
■in the Union building under the aus
: pices of the Nenana Commercial
(club. The meeting was public and
(the committees named to have
: charge of the celebration are com
i posed of men who are thoroughly
(representative of the district. They
will begin work immediately.
O. M. Jackson, of the Portland;
j Martin Nash, of the Terminal, and
|M. J. Cooney, of the Cooney hotel,
iare the members of the finance
committee. Robert Joseph Diven, J.
A. Slippern, and Miss Luella Shaffer
! will arrange the literary program for
!the morning of the Fourth, Herman
iAnderson and Arthur G. Bell will
(attend to the advertising, and the
sports will be arranged and directed
by a committee consisting of the
following live wires of the com
jmunity: Thomas J. McCrosky, Will
jiam Thomas, Joe Fischer, Allan A.
iJohnson, Burdette Tunison, Thomas
A. Mathews, Dr. J. R. Bowen, W. C.
Gagnon, Robert S. Donaldson, Ser
geant Feehley, R. S. McDonald, Dan
Leech, Frank Sager. S. N. Beatty,
W. L. Packer, Norvin Smith, Q. F.
Lehr, Louis Johnson, and Alex Fow
ler.
There was a general discussion of
celebration possibilities at last night’s
meeting, but there was no attempt
made to go into details, which are
to be left entirely up to the various
committees. These committees will
meet from time to time and the
j plans will be made known as fast
as they are decided upon.
The best prospect in the way of a
(feature is a tug-of-war, as it is re
garded as quite likely that the Bloom
challenger, announced in yesterday’s
issue of The News, will be accepted
before many hays have passed.
There is a lot of good material for
teams out the line, and it will be
surprising if the Bloom offer is not

There is also a chance for an

are here and at least two of thejl
owners are willing to enter almost 1
any kind of a contest. <
And the outlook for a ball game 1
is also good. At any rate, Nenana <
has the best ball team in the In- !
terior and the boys are keen for a l
chance to try conclusions with either 1
Fairbanks or Gibbon, or both. Man
ager Joe Fischer, of the local or- '
ganization, is now working on a
ball game proposition and hopes to
have something to report within the
next day or two.
The outlook for a big time, gen
erally speaking, is better this year ,
than on any previous occasion.
