MANY GO ON HEALY OUTiNG;
EXCURSION MUCH ENJOYED
The Sunday excursion to Healy,'
which was arranged by ?he Nenana
Celebration commitUe. in order to
give the baseball boys of the two
towns an opportunity to get to
pother in a practice game, and to
give the people of Nenana a chance
to extend personal mvtat'ons to
Healyites and the men along the:
line, to participate in the Nenana
Fourth of July celebration, wes
one of the most successful affairs
of the kind ever staged by Nenana.
Three coaches were required to
take the crowd of excursionists to
the canyon settlement, and every
one who went had a thoroughly en- |
joyable time. The ball game was
not up to much as an exhibition,
owing to the fact that the Healy
grounds are only partially ready for
use, and to the further fact that
the Healy team was short several
regular men; But the meeting suf
ficed to get the teams acquainted
and to pave the way for many-,
future games. The Healy grounds,
when finished, will be equal to any
in the North. The site is on the
high bench directly back of the
town, with a natural drainage and
an excellent view of the beautiful
canyon district.
The excursion train left Nenana
at eight o’clock Sunday morning
and made fast time to the crossing,
at 43-mile, where transfer was made
by means - of the suspension foot:
bridge, to the Healy train on the I
south side of the Nenana river.
A short ride took the crowd to
Healy, where they were welcomed :
by a delegation headed by Deputy:
Marshal Bill Butler and District ■
Timekeeper R. B. Eames. i
i
The excursion train which took
the crowd into Healy, had been i
decorated with bunting and flags
by Chairman Anders and others i
»f the celebration committee, and,
presented a gay appearance as it
whistled into the bustling town at
the canyon. And a noisy one, too,
for all of the excursionists were
armed with horns and other noise
makers. ,
All of the excursionists and nearly 1
all of the Healyites attended the
ball game, but there was time also i
for taking in the sights at Healy I
and along the railroad, as far out!
as the Kestly camp, which nestles,
in a beautiful spot in the heart of ;
the wonderful canyon district. The!
walk (through the northern end of!
the canyon was accompanied by1
some danger, owing to the frequency '•
of slides, loosened by recent rains, i
but many braved the rocks to get i
their first glimpse of what promises |
to become one of Alaska’s greatest J
tourist attractions. The coal mine of •
the Healy River Coal Corporation |
was also visited, Foreman Pete Con
nolly being on hand to show the
excursionists through the workings.
After the ball game the visitors
were entertained with an impromptu
dance at the popular Healy River
Roadhouse.
On the trip out, the excursionists
had the unusual experience of see- i
ing three moose—two old ones and j
a calf—close to the track. The |
animals have remained in the same j
locality for some time and have be-;
come so accustomed to the carsj
that they do not move far from the
track at the approach of a train.
The train left Healy, on the re
turn trip, at seven o’clock, and
the crowd reached town shortly
after ten, a little weary perhaps,
but all enthusiastic over the ouiting.
The steamer Alaska, which is
now enroute up the Tanana river
from Gibbon, will reach Nenana
some time tomorrow night, with
passengers and freight from the up
per Yukon. It is not known at the
local o dices of the White Pass if
the steamer will turn here, as did
the Yukon, or continue on to Fair
banks. The cargo includes about 60
tons of general freight for local
consignees.

EXCEPTIONAL FEATURES
FOR CELEBRATION DAYS
The management of the Coliseum
has provided an exceptionally strong
feature bill for the celebration days,
and those who patronize the popu
laf show house will be enabled to
see their favorites on the screen
in productions which show them to
their best advantage.
The popular Douglas Fairbanks
will make his appearance on the
evening of July S in “A Modern
Musketeer.” The story is filled with
snappy action from start to finish,
giving Fairbanks ample room to
display, his versatility. The play is
founded after Dumas’ story, “The
Three Musketeers”, with Fairbanks
as D’Artigan who, as a character,
commands the admiration of all who
have read the story.
Under the able pen of Allan
Dwan, the play is filled with snappy
action and situations that do not
allow for a “draggy” scene, keeping
the audience in a state of high ex
pectation and a thrilling realization.
This play made a tremendous hit
whenever shown on the Outside and
in many instances enjoyed a repeat
run of weeks duration, so great was
the public’s demand to see it.
The management desires' to an
nounce that for th> oelenration
days the show will start promptly
at the time designated, and patrons
are expected to be seated by that
time- in order that none of the
features of the exceptional bills
that will be presented will be missed.
TERRITORIAL COMMISSION
TO GATHER VARIED EXHIBIT
Appointment of a commission to
superintend the collection of agricul
tural and mineral exhibits for Alaska
to be sent to the Mining Exposition
of the American Mining Congress
has been started by Governor Thos.
Riggs, according to a recent issue
of the Alaska Daily Empire. The
first member to be appointed is
John A. Davis, of Fairbanks, who
will have charge of collecting the
exhibits of the Fourth division.
The appointment of the commis
sion was authorized by the Territor
ial legislature. It will be composed
of a member from each of the four
judicial 'divisions, each of whom will
serve without compensation. The
legislature appropriated $2,000 for
transportation and other expenses
incidental to assembling the exhibits.
It was expected, at the time of the
appointment of the Fairbanks mem
ber, that the other commissioners
would be named within a few days,
Governor Riggs having expressed a
Jesire to speed the selection of
members in order that they might
get to work without needless delay.
The exhibits will be assembled in
the territory, classified and forward
ed in one shipment to the exposi
tion in Chicago, which is scheduled
to open on October 17.
Ed Quinn, who has been in the
Kantishna district for some time
past, went into the Totatlanika dis
trict on Sunday, from Healy. He
made the trip out from Kantishna
by way of the Riley creek route.
Stanley Chernaef, who recently
completed a grading contract in the
canyon district, went to Healy on
Sunday on a combined business and
pleasure trip. The Commission has
not yet settled with his company.
Governor Bone has been invited
to deliver the Fourth of July oration
at Ketchikan, but whether or not
he will accept, will depend upon
the time of his arrival in Alaska.
Carl White, Ernest Peterson, J.
A. Gustafson, Frank Hedstrom and
Mike Beegler came down from Fair
banks this afternoon. They are all
going into the Tolovana on the
steamer Carl White. •
Mike Cooney informs The News
that he has “wired foi-” four bar
rels of Scotch w&iak), to come in
on the Fairbanks airplanes. In the
event of safe delivery here, Mr.
Cooney will serve Scotch highballs
free dvring the celebration at the
Cooney hotel.
