UNFOUNDED RUMORS
ARE DISCREDITED
A rumor was spread around town
last night to the effect that the in
fluenza had broken out in Ruby and
that there had been several deaths
there. The news of the < utbreak
was supposed to have been received
by someone in a telegram from
the supposed stricken city.
Inquiries made discloses the fact
that no such telegram was received
in Nenana, and, like many other
rumors started in this town recently,
has no foundation in fact.

Owing to weather conditions it
has been found impracticable to
continue the work of railroad Duild
ing in all its branches, and as a
consequence, a lay-off of part of
the Commission force became in
evitable.
The surfacing gang, which was
composed of 43 men, was cut down [
to 20 men, eight of the former sur- j
facing men now form Section 4,
stationed at 35-mile, and the balance
of them were absorbed by camp 15
and will do repair work along track
behind the steel gang.
Frost conditions made further
working of the dragline excavator,
impossible, and of the 18 men com
posing the dragline crew, the oper
ator is retained for the repair work
to be done, many of the other men
were given employment in the steel
gang and a few of them have gone
up to the hills on prospecting trips.
In the Nenana yards, machine and
carpenter shops, a reduction of the
forces became necessary and several
of the men have been laid off until
spring. Of the yard employees laid
off several have taken work with
the steel gang, which will continue
working all through the winter.
RED CROSS WILL
RAFFLE BEARS!
Morris Moreno, who runs a road
house on the Nenana-Broad Pass
trail at Riley creek, has presented
the Red Cross with a handsome
grizzly bear skin, which is to be
raffled for the benefit of the Red
Cross in the near future. This
patriotic roadhouse keeper some time
ago said he was going to levy a
charge of ten cents on every one
coming to his roadhouse and turn
in th • proceeds to the Red Cross.
He has turned in the sum of $6.50
derived in this manner.
Christinas Roll Call
Don’t forget the Christmas Roll
Call and demonstrate the fact that
you are a live one by enrolling your
name as a member of the American
Red Cross. Lists for this purpose
will be found in all of the pool
rooms in Nenana and atth e post
office- You will surely have no
difficulty in locating a list, as most
anybody in Nenana will tell you
where you can find one.

Anthony for the Red Cross is
hereby thankfully acknowledged.

; HAVE RADIO NOW
NOME.—Eskimo wireless oper
ators at Noorvik, a native village
north of here, soon will be able to
catch messages sent from as far
away as San Francisco, it is ex
pected.
Delbert Repolgle, government
teacher at the Noorvik native school
. who recently fitted the village with
an electric light system and a small
wireless plant, arrived here recently
from the States with a larger wire
less equipment.
The new machines will be in
stalled at Noorvik in the near
future. According to Replogle,
Noorvik then will be able to “chat
ter” with stations in nearly every
part of Alaska and listen to points
far to the south and east.
Nobrvik is the only village in the
Eskimo country with electric lights.
With the installation of the new
wireless, the envy of the other vil
lages will increase.. Eskimos have
been taught to operate both the
wireless plant and the electric light
^ system.
I The rubber saved by giving tires
a day's rest would be sufficient to
equip 8,500 motor trucks for the
American army with tires capable
of running 5,000 miles.
E WINTERING
DN UPPER TOKLAT
On his way into the Kantishna
country, headed for the headwaters
of the Toklat river over a month
ago, J. M. Burrows saw a dark horse
in the woods not far from the trail
he was following. He had a halter
on him and as one had been known
to be camping in this neighborhood,
it would appear that the horse must
have got away from some camp or
outfit and strayed into the woods.
On his way into Nenana from
the upper Toklat, a few days ago,
Burrows again saw the horse, and
states that he appeared to be in
good shape. He was in some shel
tered timber about ten miles below
the ground Burrows is working on
and does not appear to have been
any the worse for the recent cold
snap which he weathered in the
open.
Several othe? prospectors have
also seen the horse, but none of
them seem to know who owns the
animal or how he came there. They
think he will be able to tide over
the winter, as there is plenty of feed
on the hillsides where the snow is
blown away.
ITALY HONORS WILSON;
RENAMES THOROUGHFARE
LUCCA, Italy.—An ancient thor
I oughfare which for four hundred
| years has encircled this city on
i top of the Lucca w^all has been
officially renamed as “Boulevard
Presidente Wilson”, in recognition
j of American aid extended to Italy
in the war. The boulevard is so
wide that twelve horses can be
driven abreast in it- The fortifi
cation beneath it was built when
Lucca was the capital of a feudal
duchy and has been a famous relic
for centuries.
On the same day an American
Red Cross orphanage, also built on
top of the great Lucca wall, was
dedicated. This curious site was
selected for lack of an available
location in the town. The building
is a cunning adaptation of the
Luccan style—painted to conform
with the wall and set with ancient
panels and Latin mottoes. The or
phanage was erected by the Ameri
can Red Cross in fifty days to house
a group of soldiers’ children or
phaned during the war.
LITTLE MISS TYLER
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT
A painful, but not serious acci
dent befell little Miss Echo Tyler
last night when her high-chair in i
which she was seated at the time
was accidentally tipped over and
she was thrown to the floor, coming
violently into contact with the stove
in her descent. i
Dr. delaVergne attended to the
injuries of the little lady, who is
doing as well as can be expected.

HAWAIIAN GOVERNOR
LEASES QUEENLY HOME
HONOLULU.—Governor C. J.

Washington Place, the residence of j
the late Queen Lilioukalani. It has |
been suggested that the territorial I

purchase of the building and make' ■
it the official residence of the gov
ernors of Hawaii.
An Indan soldier, convalescing at

who wrote to a girl promising her
a beaded bag for Christmas, re
ceived this reply: “Quit your string
