MOOSE SMOKER
| IS BIG SUCCESS;
_
i
The local lodge of the Loyal Order
of Moose gave a very enjoyable
smoker last night at the home of the
order on Third and A streets, follow
ing immediately after the regular
meeting.
In spite of the severe weather
prevailing, the thermometer reading
being 52 below zero, the warm quar
ters of the Moose ivere comrortably
crowded by the members ot the local
lodge, visiting members and visitors
who were not yet members of the
order, but availed themselves of the
cordial invitation extended by the
local Moose.
The proceedings commenced short
ly after 9 p. m., and were carried
to a successful finish very enthusi
astically, the antlered brethern prov
ing to be ideal hosts. The program
arranged for the night was divided
into two parts, the period interven
ing between the first and second
parts being utilized for partaking
of a splendid lunch which was served
downstairs.
Alf Eckland presided during the
smoker and called the items on the
varied program, every one of which
was thoroughly enjoyed. Tony Le
tray, who contributed several items
to the program, gave a very finished
imitation of the Scottish bagpiper,
cleverly sustaining the drones of the
Highland pibroch on the mouth,
organ. Private Morris, from Ten
nessee, ably supported by “Dooley”
Galvin, contributed several amusing
item* accompanying himself on the
banjo. Dooley proved himself adept
with the bones, and was “there” on
almost every item on the program.
Alex Fowler read a very inter
esting account of the great work
done at Mooseheart for the children
and later contributed another item
from the Moose Bulletin, which was
greatly njoyed.
Sam Tansy was heard to advant
age in an impromptu discourse, and
in response to requests, threw his
hearers into roars of laughter in his
rendering of the recitative “Fare
well, Brother Watkins.”
Dictator M. V. Tyler explained the
motives and purposes of the order
and gave interesting data regarding
the work done and the share of the
nation’s burden borne by the mem
bers of the Loyal Order of Moose.
He also explained the position of
the lodge and the plans they have
made for expansion, which, he said,
they hoped to be in a position to
take in hand in the near future.
Several interesting items of the
program were rendered following
Mr. Tyler’s speech, and during the
whole course of the smoker liquid
refreshments, cigars and cigarettes
were passed around most profusely.
| A mouth-organ duet by Tony Le
tray and Charles Grisselle brought
to a termination one of the most
enjoyable smokers held in Nenana.

MASS TRAINING
FOR HORSES IS
PERSHING IDEA
■ '
FORT BLISS-—Increased demand
for cavalry to close up the gaps in
the American lines caused by rapid
retreats of German forces recalled
the theory advanced by General
Pershing when he returned from
the Mexican punitive expedition as
to the best methods of training cav
alry horses. A cavalryman himself,
General Pershing has always held
the cavalry arm of the service
closest to his heart. When his di
vision was encamped here it was a
long and laborious task to break
the necessary cavalry mounts and
remounts. Ordered suddenly to pur
sue Francisco Villa into Mexico,
General Pershing was confronted
with a shortage of trained cavalry
horses to replace those who became
saddle sore or crippled on the long
desert march into Mexico.
His resourcefulness, which has been
demonstrated so admirably in France,
came to his rescue. Riding over
the sandhills of western Chihuahua,
he revolved the theory that cavalry
horses were no different from cavalry
men in regard to training. Where
one man, no matter how brave, will
hesitate to go on a scouting expedi
tion alone, a detachment would be
eager for the chance.
“Men and horses are more or
less alike in their primary, and in
their primary instincts,” General
Pershing thought. “Why not try
the mass plan of training for horses
the same as is done with recruits?”
Next day a column of green cav
alry horses, broken only to the sad
dle and bridle, were taken out to
an improvised drill ground and
taught the cavalry maneuvers in col
umn formation. Charges, retreats,
firing over the horses’ heads and all
the other lessons in the education
of the cavalry horses were given that
day. When night came these horses
were ready for their soldier mounts
and the training time had been re
duced 29 days by General Pershing’s
plan. All cavalry horses for the
expeditionary forces were treated in
that way during the Mexican cam
paign.
Horses like companionship the
same as men. General Pershing said
at the time. ‘That is why they be
; come so attached to their stable
mates and their masters. The same
! holds true in battle and horses and
men are alike in that they will go
I in crowds where they will not go
; alone.”

DELAYS
! Up to a late hour this afternoon
; Roy Lund had not arrived at Dun
| bar’s roadhouse with the Nenana
! mail from Fairbanks, and owing to
, the cold weather prevailing it is
I not likely that he will take the trail
! until the weather moderates. His
whereabouts would appear to be un
known. Some think that he is at
the Ohio roadhouse, while others
think that he is still in Fairbanks.
In a telphone message to the News
this afternoon, the News’ corres
pondent thought that Roy Lund had
not left Fairbanks.
P. A. Thelin was to have left
Fairbanks this morning, but owing
to the severe weather was unable to
do so. If there is an improvement
in weather conditions he will leave
tomorrow morning with the mail,
First class mail is due in Fairbanks
i tonight or early tomorrow morning,
and it is probably that Thelin will
arrange his departure so that he
will be able to get the Nenana share
of this mail.

quality and price. It is not often that you find the first
three combined at the right price. The overcoats we handle
combine all good qualities—and the prices are right. Come

J. Taylor, superintendent of the I
Brower Stage company, who was in
quarantine for several days past, ar-1
rived in Fairbanks today. He said
that it was not the intention of the
Brower company to have a passenger
service on the trail, and that in con
sequence, they are making no ar
rangements to carry passengers. If
anyone should happen along and
wish to take a chance on traveling
on one of their rigs it would be all
right, he thought.
Cold weather has prevented the
running of trains on the Tanana
j alley railroad and the wood haulers
have also quit. The town is ex
tremely quiet, scracely anyone being
seen on the streets.
