PIONEERS INVITE HARDING
TO TAKE HONORARY DEGREE
President Harding is to be invited
to become an honorary member of
Igloo No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska
and should he accept the invitation,
; he will be given the obligation of
' the order upon his arrival in Nena
na on July 15. A special meeting
> will be held by the oldtimers in or
der that the President may become
affiliated.
At a regular meeting of the lo
cal igloo last night it was voted to
send a telegram to the President
at Tacoma, informing him that the
Pioneers of Nenana will welcome,
the opportunity to take him into the
fold during his brief stay here. An
answer should be received within
the next day or two.
It is hardly likely the President
will get by the Alaska coast without
being made an honary member of
the Pioneer;, and. in case he is
initiate^ before he reaches Nenana
it is questionable if the Nenana in
vitation will be accepted. The Po
neers of Ketchikan some time ago
invited the President to meet with
them and a similar invitation un
doubtedly will be extended by Ju
neau in which town the President
will spend his first night on land
after reaching the territory.

DIRECTORY REPRESENTATIVE A
IN NENANA TO GATHER DATA
In line with a new policy recent
ly adopted by R. I. Polk & Company
pioneer directory publishers of Am
erica, preparations are now being
made by this veteran concern to
give Alaska the most complete dir
ectory ever attempted in the north
ern country, one which will combine
interesting and accurate descriptive
matter and views along with the
names of people residing in the
various sections of the territory.
The directory will be complete in
every detail, covering every part of
Alaska and Yukon Territory:
J. D. Hall, northern superinten
dent of R. L. Polk & Company, ar
rived in Nenana yesterday morning
aboard the steamer Yukon, accom
panied by Mrs. Hail, and they will
spend several days in N'enana gath
ering data and soliciting advertis
ing for the Nenana section of the
directory. They came direct from
the Yukon country, where they vi
sited Mayo and other sections of
that territory, and are enrou.e back
to the coast by way of the Alaska
Railroad. They will visit the Fair
banks district after the celebra.ion.
Mr. Hall has obtained many beau
tiful views of industries, scenic at
tractions and towns in the sections
already vsited by him, and will gath
er more here and in the localities
yet to be visited by him. These will
be used for illustrating the descrip
tive articles which are being repared
by prominent Alaskans and Yukon
ers, the list of eoirrributers includ
ing Governor Scott C. Bone, Dis
trict Forester Foley, Federal Mine
Inspector Stewart and others. There
will be general articles concerning
Alaska and its resources and scenic
attractions, and special articles re
lating to each community.
The directory, or gazeteer, will
have very wide circulation. In ad
dition to the regular edition to fill
the requirements of Alaskans, there
will be a large special edition for
general circulation throughout the
United States and Canada which, it
is needless to point out. will give
the two northern territories a vast
amount of very desirable publicity.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall are making
their headquarters at the Cooney
Hotel during their stay in Nenana.
