IMPROVED
The new rooms of the Nenana
club were opened for use by the

Wednesday evening, at 8 o’clock,
the regular card party will be held,
when it is expected that the attend
ance will be greater than at any
former gathering of the kind.
Members are expected to bring
their lady friends and join "in mak
ing these evenings attractive to
everyone concerned.
Cards will be played to a reason
able hour, which will be followed
by dancing for those who wish it.

CLUB SEEKS 1
IN PREPARATION
! OF ADVERTISING
| The Commercial club has a plan
in hand to spread broadcast infor
mation regarding Nenana.
It is suggested that a small card
or leaf, smaller than an ordinary
envelope, be utilized, which would
be given to everyone for distribu
tion by means of their regular cor
respondence, merely slipping the
card or leaf into, all letters written;
the card to be furnished free to all.
For this purpose they desire
about a dozen short sentences, de
scribing the advantages and attrac
tions of Nenana.
j As suggestions along this line,
there are the waters; the small
clear streams, the larger rivers;
flowers, wild berries and forests;
, vegetables that grow as though un
der the influence of Alladdin’s
lamp; the migratory birds; fish, tin,
iron, gold and other precious metals;
1 coal and oil.
There is also climate, oodles of
it; and a rising sun, which if not
met today will be met yesterday
| or tomorrow .
There is the Alaska Range and
Mt. McKinley National Park, with
it’s countless herds and flotKS.
And all of this Is reacned by way
of the Inside Passage; over the
green waters, past the shining gla
ciers and rugged mountains.
I All of these things and many
more, are to be developed and en
joyed.
What can you say about them in
connection with Nenana, to make
them attractive?
Pick out a subject, and describe
it in fifteen words or less. A
sentence only for each subject.
You may write ten sentences, or
less.
Mail the result to the “Contest
Committee, Nenana Commercial
Club, P. O. Box 118, City.
Sign your name at the bottom of
the sheet, so it may be numbered
and cut off, before the paper i3
handed to the committee who will
award a first prize of $5 to the
paper containing the best material
for the desired purpose; and a
prize of $3 to the paper second best.
Papers received after 2 p. m.,
December 14, will not be considered.

LONDON—The Express says that
the Allies are about to make a de
nand on Holland for the surrender
>f the person of the former German
miser.
It is believed that Holland i3 not
lisposed to blocx the extradition
tnd that she will comply with the
lemands of the Allies on the ground
hat the position of the former
German monarch is analagous to
hat of aspriate or a slave trader,
vho is not generally regarded as

COAL PRODUCTION
i WILL BE SPEEOEL
W. J. Lynn, who is operating
coal mine near the engineerin
camp at 35-mile, known as cam
385, arrived in town on Saturda
for the purpose of hiring more me
to work the night shift in his mint
Lynn has a contract with th
Alaskan Engineering commission fo
the supply of a large quantity o
coal, and the greatly increased de
mand for this fuel, which canno
be met with the force he has a
present at the mine, has necessitate
the putting on of an increased da
force and also a night gang, so tha
the demand can be met and sup
plied.
Lynn has a force of six me:
.working in his mine at present; an
the A. E. C. has authorized him t
hire sixteen additional men, so tha
he will be enabled to extend oper
ations and add largely to the out
put of the mine. It is expecte*
that an increased day crew and th
night crew will commence workin;
today.
Owing to a shortage of men ii
1 the district, reat difficulty was ex
1 perienced in hiring men for th
mine, and out of the sixteen mei
authorized, only seven or eight hav
been hired so far. It is expectei
that the balance of the require<
, labor force for work in Lynn’s coa
mine will be signed up in the course
• of a day or two.
Up to Sunday night, twelve ful
1 carloads of coal had been deliverer
1 from the mine pit to the Alaskai
Engineering commission, the bull
1 of it being brought to the Nenani
yard for use at the power plant am
the boiler house near the engim
house, and machine shop, where coa
is now used exclusively. The coa
is hauled in the new Roger ballas
cars, which have a capacity oi
80,000 pounds each. Lignite coal
however, is light and it is estimatei
that the carloads brought in wer<
approximately of twenty-five ton;
each.

[HEY LOST WAR
FOUR m AGO
First Battle of the Marne Killed
Germany’s Hopes of Ultimate
Victory.
OOSTERLAND, Holland, Dec. 3.
—The former German crown prince
said today that Germany was thor
oughly convinced that they had lost
the war early in October, 1914, im
mediately after their defeat at the
battle of the Marne.
The position of the Germans were
considered hopeless after this great
battle had been fought and won by
the Allies.
Germany would not have lost the
battle of the Marne, he said, if not
for the fact that the chief of the
German general staff suffered from
a bad case of nerves.
