NENANAI1ES SEE
AND STILL LIVE
I Prof. Porta's widely-advertised
I sunspot is clearly visible in Nenana.
;a number of residents of the town
| having obtained good views of the
i phenomenon yesterday afternoon
'and again today, although the sun
was somewhat obscured this after
noon and the antics of Old Sol less
clearly observed.
Townsite Manager Schmidt was on
the lookout for the appearance of
the Porta sunspot, and yesterday he
(was rewarded by the discovery of
jwhat appeared to be several spots
near the edge of the sun. He ob
tained a good view with the aid of
a smoked glass.
; United States Commissioner R. S.
McDonald also saw the phenomenon,
but what he observed had more the
appearance of a faint moving shad
ow, as if gases were issuing from
the sun itself. He also saw a nim
bus about the upper portion of the
sun. When Mr. McDonald made his
observations the lower third of the
sun was below the horizon.
A number of others saw the sun
spot today, but only for a brief
time, because of the presence of
clouds in the south.
The phenomenon was also observ
ed generally at Fairbanks yester
day, but reports received from the
States today contain no mention of
a similar appearance Outside.

NUMBERS ARE DRAWN,
BUT WINNER UNKNOWN
The drawing for the big doll
which was raffled for the benefit
of the local Catholic church was
held at The Terminal last night, as
advert ked, but up to a late hour
this afternoon the holder of the
lucky ticket had not appeared.
Three numbers were drawn-—first,
second, and third choice—and if
the holders of these tickets fail to
appear by Monday night a second
drawing will be held, beginning at
7:30.
The numbers drawn last night, in
the order in which they were drawn,
are 24, 46, and 49.

Wenamt. W^ere Balls and Bivsrs Meet1
Plans for the annual Christmas
tree and entertainment for the chil
dren of N'enana were practically
completed at a meeting of Bache
lors on Wednesday evening, and the
! members of the various committees
are now hard at work attending to
the various details. It was reported
at the meeting that the sum of $464
had been subscribed up to that time;
more than was required last year,
but not quite enough to carry out
the plans for this year, owing to
increased costs and a larger num
ber of children to provide for. Some
1 , .
money has come m since the meet
ing, however, and the Bachelors fee!
assured that the amount required
; will have been subscribed by the
time the lists are called in.
j Miss Luella Shaffer and Miss Ade
line Ferretti were named as a pres
ent-buying committee, the sum of
$275 having been allotted for the
; purchase of toys for the kids. Ad
ditional funds will by allotted later
.
for the purchase of other presents.
Alex Funk was assigned the task
of selecting and delivering a suita
i ble Christmas tree, and Adolph
Olson has already delivered a quan
tity of boughs for decorative pur
poses. Martin Nash is looking after
the decorations and has already
completed a large Christmas piece
;that will stretch across the top of
the stage in Union hall.
Miss Luella Shaffer is arranging
the program, which will be confined
strictly to the children, with the ex
ception of Mrs. Bert Johnson’s jazz
; band, which will render several se
lections.
A canvass of the town shows That
there are 76 children under the age
of 15 years in Xenana, a consider
ably larger number than were here
last year. The committee also plans
to distribute presents among the na
tive children of the village and mis
sion above Xenana. There are about
jsixty of them to provide for, and
;it is the intention of the committee
to send the presents to the mission
for distribution in connection with
the Christmas exercises there.
The Bachelors’ affair will be ex
clusively for the children of the
i town, but the young folks have an
nounced that they will let the
grown-ups in on the entertainment
and Christmas tree if they will
i promise to beat it when die show
is over, for it is then that the kids’
'dance will start, and they want the
'floor all to themselves. There will
be no restrictions, however, as to
the number of presents the grown
ups may send around for the tree.
The train arriving from Fairbanks
this noon brought about twenty
passengers for Xenana. Several
passengers left the train at Dun
bar’s, enroute to the Tolovana.

Joe O'Connor, of The Terminal,
who returned today from a brief
visit to Fairbanks, says that the
report of his near-death in the up
per town was somewhat twisted. It
was not a fish bone at ail that
choked him, but a piece of bone
from a pork sparerib. *
Tom Davis is in town from the
Tolovana and expects to remain here
about a week.
