NEN AN AITES HOSTS
TO COAST VISITORS
j The entertainment and dance ar-'
| ranged by the people of Nenana in
honor of the visitors from Anchorage
who came to Interior Alaska on the
first through excursion train on the
Government railroad, was a huge
j success in every’ way and reflected
gTeat credit on the N'enana Com
mercial Club, which took the initia
tive, and on the various committees
in charge of the arrangements, who
worked whole-heartedly to make the
| affair the brilliant success it proved
to be.
The proceedings of the day com
menced with the arrival of the train
from Fairbanks Tuesday noon, with
i the Anchorage visitors, railroad offi
! cials, returning Nenanaites and many
j others from Fairbanks and way
> points. In spite of the cold weather
I prevailing there was a goodly nura
i her of Xenanaites out to meet the
j arrivals. The committee in charge
1 of the housing arrangements, com
! posed of E. J. Cronin and Bob Tou
j saint, had made adequate provision
I for the comfort of the guests along
these lines. A waiting express wagon
took on the baggage, while the visit
ors were personally escorted to the
places made ready for their accom
modation. The big cottage formerly
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Fred’k D.
Browne, was fitted up for the ac
' commodation of the ladies of the
party, while the others were housed
, in the various hotels up town, the
; railroad officials occupying quarters
; in one of the dormitories on the re
i serve.
The afternoon was taken up most
ly with greeting old acquaintances
and forming new ones. In the early
! evening there was a general move
i ment toward the Coliseum, Xenana’s
up-to-date showhouse, where a spe
cial attraction entertained the visit
ors and a large number of Xenana
ites, the theater being filled to over
flowing.
At the conclusion of the show, the
! large crowd and many more, moved
| over to Union hali, where the big
j railroad dance, the first of its kind
I ever held in Interior Alaska, took
| place.
Under the direction of a commit
tee composed of A. B. Phillips,
chairman, J. H. Flower. Harry Mills.
Dr. J. R. Bowen, A1 Clarno, Allan
A. Johnson, Frank Teufel, J. M.
Reiter, G. B. Buhman and the boys
of the Signal Corps, the interior of
the nail had been transformed into
the semblence of the terminal yard
of a railroad in gala attire. The
center of the hall ceiling was em
bellished with a filmy bell-shaped
structure from which a multitude
of vari-colored streamers radiated,
these being gathered up in graceful
| festoons all around the center, while
| bunches of greenery in relief, with'
lights twinkling in the centers, were
! arranged on the walls around the1
hall.
The enrtance to the ‘‘terminal
: yard” was guarded by high depot
I gates where Conductor Tom Hogan,
1 in full uniform and armed with his
i ready punch, carefully scrutinized
l the passengers and, with the tho
roughness that characterizes his reg
! ular work on the trains, punched
i each ticket. His customary strictly
businesslike attitude toward his fares
j was forgotten and he was ail smiles
for the occasion.
i Emerging through the depot gates.
; the traveler found on his left the
j power house; a large map showing
I “Nenana, the Hub City” and, just
I beyond it, the dispatcher’s office,
while the green lights of the switch
points farther do-wn indicated that
the yard limits had been reached.
The “dining car” was placed
across the entire width of the yard,
at its upper end, and was presided
! over by J. H. Flower, the best diner
! man north of 53, not even excepting
i Casey McDaniels, of the Southern
division. The committee in charge
of the refreshments was composed;
of J. H. Flower and William Rodig
keit, tQ whom gTeat credit is due
for the manner in which that feature
of the entertainment was attended
to.
On the opposite limit of the yard
a mixed train, composed of open
coal cars, two box cars, passenger
coaches, caboose and engine, was
shown, surmounted by the legend,
“You are welcomed to Nenana,
Where Rails and Rivers Meet”. Just
in front of the locomotive headlight,
the waterfront, docks and ware
houses, with a river boat unloading
freight, were shown; and above this
and blending with the dock scene,
was a large colored panorama of
Nenana’s waterfront, a large steam
er in the offing and the “Nenana
Kid”, (the Anderson hydroplane) oc-'
cupying the foreground.
The stage was divided into the ■
"Boiler House", where the musicians j
presided, and the “Telegraph Office" ;
■with a real telegraph outfit ticking!
occasional messages, while a real ;
locomotive bell clanged a warning i
to the dancers to take the floor a? ‘
occasion arose.
The dancers, composed of the An
chorage visitors and nearly the en- i
tire population of Xenana, assembled ]
in the hall in short order and by
about 10:30 the dance was in full,
swing to the strains of the orchestra
composed of Miss Anr.e Mylitts, j
piano, Roy Lund, violin, and “Whit
ey" Bergquist, drums.
During the course of the dance
idayor Tom Smith, in a few well
chosen words, bade the visitors wel
come and called upon Col. Mears,
to whom he presented the freedom
of the city, in the shape of a large
key.
Colonel Mears, a member of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission
since the creation of that organiza
tion, and chairman of it since the re
tirement of William Edes, gave a
very interesting account of the build
ing of the Government railroad,
with special mention of the splendid
support given him by William Gerig,
F. A. Hansen and Fred'k D. Browne,
working under handicaps such as
are unknown in the railroad con
struction game in other lands.
Later in the evening Mrs. Harry
Abercrombie delighted the crowd
with a finished rendition of the song
“Feather Your Nest", responding to
a hearty recall with “Just You”.
Miss Mylius played the accompani
ments to both songs.
Little Miss Ethel Rosburg, in
costume, gave a dainty dance, known
as the “Rainbow" dance, which was
much appreciated and drew rounds
of hearty applause.
Dick Morris, local poet laureate,
brought the program part of the
entertainment to a close with a
poetical interpretation of the work
done on the Government railroad,
cleverly coupling the names of near
ly all the officials responsible for
its successful completion.
L. F. Lochr.er, of the Signal Corps
station, was made up as a Pullman
car porter and, armed with a huge
tray and small whisk broom, buzzed
around continuously amid the gay
throng, taking orders, dusting coats
and creating much amusement by
his witticisms.
Lunch was served shortly after
midnight, after which dancing was
resumed and continued writh spirit
until after two o'clock, with nearly
all the dancers remaining to the
last
ine comomauon program ana
ticket of admission to the dance,
which was a very novel affair, took
the form of a regular railroad ticket
and folder. The head of the ticket
contained an amusing set of regula
tions, followed by train numbers,
each number indicating a dance.
There were 16 regular and three
special trains, to which a few were
added ere the night was well spent.
The stations along the railroad were
also mentioned, with a reference to
Col. Mears. William Gerig. F. A.
Hansen, “Hurry Up” Jones, Fred'k
D. Browne and Tom Blakey.
It was the consensus of opinion
both among the visitors and local
people that the dance was a tre
mendous success in every way, gen
eral regret being felt and expressed
that the early departure of the An
chorage special precluded the pos
sibility of a continuance of the fun
until daybreak at least.
The thanks of the community are
due to the various committees, who
worked hard for the success of the
function, and to Herman Anderson,
whose artistic work came in for
much praise and admiration. Both
the train scene and the large map of
Alaska, showing Nenana as the hub,
were prepared by him, as well as
the various signs about the hall.
EXCURSIONISTS ARE HOME
The train bearing away the An
chorage visitors and the railroad
officials pulled out of the Nenana
depot promptly at eight o’clock yes
terday morning and, in spite of the
rather severe weather prevailing, the
early hour and the exhaustion of
the previous night, many Xenanaite;
were on hand to speed the depart
ing guests.
JuA before going to press thir
afternoon, The News das informed
that the train, which made the run
through almost without stop, arrived
at Anchorage at four o’clock this
morning, a very enjoyable trip home
being reported.
