EVEREYTHING IN READINESS
FOR NENANA CELEBRATION
Everything is in readiness for the
commencement of N'enana’s sixth In
dependence Day celebration and it
is the general belief that the jolli
fication will be the most successful
event of the kind in the history of
the town, with fully as large a
! crowd in attendance as on any pre
, vious occasion.
The fun will start immediately j
following the arrival of the train
from Healy this afternoon, the
first event on the lengthy and in-'
teresting program being the open-!
ing game of the baseball series be
tween N'enana and Fort Gibbon, at
Franklin K. Lane Park. The two
teams are thought to be fairly ^
evenly matched and the series un
doubtedly will be the big event of
the celebration.
The second number on the pro
gram will be a feature show at the
Coliseum, entitled Fighting Odds, at
popular prices, and the feature will'
be followed by the big free dance at *
LTnion hail, for which r usic will be'
provided by Prof. Berggren’s four-!
piece orchestra.
The track events will start to
morrow morning, followed by an
automobile race, another ball game j
and a star attraction at the Coliseum !
| in which Doug Fairbanks will be'
i featured.
! There will be patriotic exercises
on Monday, followed by more track
events, and the third and concluding
ball game of the series. The celebra
tion will be brought to a close with |
a special dance at Union hall on
Monday night, preceded by a Lois
Weber attraction at the Coliseum,]
jin which Mildred Harris will be1
featured. I
The work of decorating the main ;
streets of the town was completed I
late last night, and by this evening
most of the business houses will |
be garlaned in the national colors. •
Considerable difficulty was found in j
getting the material needed for the!
decorations, but excellent work is j
being done, considering the handi
cap. All flags in the city should be
hoisted. (
Mayor Joe O’Connor has requested
The News to announce that all dogs
must be kept off the streets during
the celebration.
The full program of the celebra
tion will be found elsewhere in this
issue of The News, and special pro
grams will be distributed by the
committee during the celebration.

hoped to encourage the growth of
the species in the United States.

STRANGE ILLNESS CAUSES
DEATHS ON LOWER YUKON
There has been considerable ill
ness among the children of the low
er Yukon valley, and quite a num
ber of deaths have occurred during
the past few months, according to
P. C. Carrol, who returned to JsTe
nanan on the steamer Alaska, from
a stay of several weeks at Holy
[Cross and other Yukon settlements.
The disease somewhat resembles
the flu and seems to be confined
chiefly among children of tender
age. under two years. The children
cough considerably and seem unable
to sleep. Quite a number of the
children at Holy Cross mission have
had the disease and some of them
have succumbed to it, the little
daughter of Joe Burns being one of
the victims.
The mission was visited by a doc
tor from Nome, but he was unable
to do any more than had already
been done by the sister in charge,
^who has had long experience in the
care of children.
Mr. Carroll says things are very
quiet along the lower river, with no
mining activity worthy- of note. A
! few oldtimers were in the Marshal
district, but their activities consist
chiefly- of sniping, and there is
! very little work being done in any
of the other districts above Mar
shall.
Food prices had not begun to
lower along the Yukon, below Tan
i ana, at the time Mr. Carroll started
up river. One trader was selling
! sugar at 26 cents a pound and an
j other, only a few miles distant, de
I manded 28 cents a pound. At Tan
| ana. however, where there is con
jsiderable competition, the price of
sugar had dropped to 12t£ cents.
| The price of fish this season, it
! was learned, will be higher than
| usual this season along the river.
I The Government has contracted for
I a considerable quantity of the dried
| product at 15 cents a pound, and it
^ believed that contract will fix the
'price. Salmon appeared to be fair
ly plentiful down the river, the
run having started early in June.
There had been very little rain
on the lower Yukon up to the time
Mr. Carroll left for Xenana. He
was marooned at Holy Cross for 22
days, waiting for a boat, and it
rained only about two hours during
that entire period. The dryness of
the season has resulted in an agree
able shortage of mosquitos, none
of the pests having been encount
ered until the Tanana valley was
reached.
