Sam Comfort Will Donate His Service
For the Benefit of the
Red Cross.
Another Willing Worker has been
enlisted by the Drivers for the Red
Cross cause and his help is going to
mean that more than a few dollras
will be added to the fund. Sam
Comfort, the affable and efficient
gentleman who, during the balmy
months of summer, contributes so
much toward the polish that char
acterizes Nenanaites, has volunteered
his services to the cause, and, during
certain hours on Saturday, the en
tire proceeds of the Shoe Shining
stand located opposite the Arctic,
on A street, will be devoted to the
Red Cross.
As most everybody will need to
be “shined up” for the Red Cross
dance in the evening, Sam has, ap
parently, undertaken SOME contract.
Baa, Baa, White House sheep, have
you any wool?
You bet your life we have; many
bags full;
Raised by Mr. Wilson, soft and fine
as floss,
And every little bit of it’s for the
Red Cross.
Mrs. Wm. Coutts has been suffer
ing from a severe attack of rheu
matism during the past several days.
TWO SHIFTS ARE !
HASTENING WORK!
ALONG THE LINE
Work of Getting Roadbed Ready
For Rails Is Proceeding Steadily
South of Town.
Construction work on the railroad
south of Nenana is progressing sat
is factorily and for a considerable
distance above and below Camp 22
a large section of the roadbed has
been surfaced. The Bucyrus drag
line excavator, the three locomotives
and the Lidgerwood unloader are
working two shifts and a large quan
tity of gravel is daily distributed
along the right of way.
The gang of men working o it of
Camp 16 have now completed the
work of stripping the ice overlaying
the roadbed, up to the point where
the big 1300-foot trestle which spans
Lost Slough begins. There is still
a considerable volume of water flow
ing on the right of way and the
work of diverting this flow to a
channel that will carry it safely away
to join the waters of Clear creek,
has been taken in hand. As soon
as this has been successfully accom
plished, the actual work of laying
the steel will probably be taken in
hand and rushed to completion.
Despite the fact that the Nenana
river is very low, a quantity of water,
flowing under the ice in the bed of
Lost Slough, seems to be getting by
the dam erected at the head of the
slough and encroaching on the right
of way. A gang of men, under Fore
man Frank Frazier, are now engaged
in blasting the ice from the neigh
borhood of the dam to enable the
work of making the dam tight by
placing brush and gravel between the
rows of piles, to be taken in hand ;
as soon as possible; and for the pur
pose of clearing the channel that
will carry away diverted waters. It
is expected that when this work has
been accomplished no further trouble
from water on the roadbed will be
experienced.
Ihe completed grade from Camp 9
(20-mile) to the end of Bartlet’s
contract, which is within two miles
of Residency 3 (35-mile) is being
used by the light team, taking the
mail and a small quantity of supplies
destined to the distant camps, and,
owing to the snow and hail which
fell recently in this section of the
country, the roadbed has been rend
ered soft and the going heavy in
sections of the completed grade.
On Residency 3 (35-mile) the pile
driver engaged in driving the neces- i
sary piles to protect the bank and
grade from encroachments by the
river on a section of the grade about
a mile from camp, had driven forty
of the piles. There remain about;
130 more piles to be driven to com
plete this t'/ork.
Coal was partly used to fire the
piledriver boiler and is said to have
given very satisfactory results. There
is not much of this fuel available
at the present time and consequently
some wood is also being used with
the coal. It is expected that a larger
quantity of coal will be available
for use in a short time when it will
be used entirely. The coal obtained
in this section of the country is said
to contain a larger percentage of
moisture than is ordinarily found in
Lignite coal, but this feature may;
not exist when the vein now being
worked is tapped to a greater depth.
LAUNCH PEERLESS HERE
ON FIRST VOYAGE DOWN
The launch Peerless, the first of,
the mosquito fleet to enter the,
passenger carrying traffic between;
Fairbanks and Nenana, arrived from |
the upper town yesterday. The Peer
less wintered at Fairbanks and was
to have been supplanted by a new
and larger craft, built by Skipper
Joe Johnson in the upper town. But
i the new boat is not yet ready for
I service and the Peerless will be used
until it is.
The Peerless returned to the up
per town this morning.
The launch Victory, which left Ne
nana for Fairbanks yesterday morn
ing, reached Fairbanks at midnight
and was scheduled to get away on
[her second trip this morning.
CABARET TO AID
RED CROSS WORK
TOMORROW NIGHT
Rooms of Ncnsna Club Will Be the
Scene of Gaiety and the
Public Is Invited.
YOU are invited.
The time: Tomorrow evening; the
place, Nenana club.
I The Red Cross will welcome every
body to a Cabaret Evening, all the
same New York, to be given under
the full supervision of those well
known and justly famous cabaret
caterers Fred Rhind and Ralph
; Waechter. The attractions, while
quite too numerous to mention, will
j be varied and unique and positively
.assure entertainment and amusement.
To the last detail on the wine list
nothing has been omitted that would
help make certain a good time
For this occasion the clubrooms
are thrown open to the public and
everybody is invited and everything
goes in the way of dress. vVoolen
shirts and working clothes will pre
dominate and there’s an individual
welcome waiting for every mother’s
son and daughter in town. As ad
mission is entirely free it will be
advisable to go early and avoid the
rush.

Scenes of the Early Days Will Be !
Produced in Realistic Manner
For War.
No one can afford to stay away
from the Big Dance on Saturday
night, even if any were so injudi
ciously disposed. For each will have
an opportunity of doubling his or
her cash ten times over. Think of
it! Twenty dollars for one, as many
times as you want to buy, at the
box office. Who cares for the high
cost of living when the money comes
as easily as that? And the best
of it is that it will be all money
made right here in Nenana.
These doings on Saturday at Union
Hall are certainly going to provide
one memorable occasion Think of
the pride you will feel years hence,
when Nenana shall have achieved a
fame outrivaling as a beautiful city
that of Venice, in telling youi grand
children of the time you oaid So
as a matter of course for an ice
cream, or blew in ten dollars for
almost-beer on your partner after
every dance. Little old New York
itself was never like that.
And the music is to be that com
pelling kind—the sort that just makes
your feet act as if they were affected
with an exaggerated type of St.
Vitus dance. Vic Durand has pledged
his responsibility for this, and every
one knows that his notes are good.
To help matters out the Presbyterian
church has loaned the player-piano
and Mr. Freeman has kindly donated
his services in superintending its re
moval.
SALES OF CARNIVAL
NOT ON PERCENTAGE
_ !
Mrs. J. R. Bowen, head of the i
local Red Cross, desires it stated 1
that merchandise disposed of by the
ladies during the carnival was not
sold on commission, as stated by the
News yesterday. To use the words
of Mrs. Bowen, the Red Cross bought,
outright, from the merchants at a
low price, everything used for the
carnival.
Mrs. Bowen also desires it stated
that the Red Cross sign, which hangs
from a wire, stretched between the
Arctic and Cooney hotel, indicative
of Red Cross activities, was made
at the Commission tin shop and
painted by Commission painters,
through the courtesy of Mr. Packer.
Mr. Jack Ronan directed the haning
of the sign and went to considerable
trouble and some expense to get it
properly dried and finished in time
for the carnival.
The sign donated by the firm of
Anderson Bros. & Nerland wa3 the
large sign on the front of the build
ing where the carnival was held.
