LARGE SUM
THE RED
Nenana’s quota toward the hun
dred million dollar drive, which
ended last night at midnight, was
set at one thousand dollars. As the
result of executive work, 'generously
tendered help and a general willing
ness to contribute, more than four
times that amount will be turned
over to the Red Cross fund. The
grand total to be credited to Nenana
is $4,640.80, about $850 of this hav
ing been collected from various
sources prior to the carnival and
drive. As no call had been made
on the town for special effort this
$850 will undoubtedly be considered
a part of the Drive collection and
so credited.
From the various organizations
the sum of $337.25 was collected, a
very creditable showing being made
by the Knights of Pythias, who have
no organization here. The Labor
Union kindly donated the rent of the
hall, equivalent to a cash contribu
tion of $25. Following were the
contributions: Commercial club $35;
Friendly society, $25; Nenana club,
$76.50; Knights of Pythias, $25;
Pioneers of Alaska, $175.75; total,
$337.25- The Pioneer donations
were received from the following
sources: 43-Mile, $19.50; Camp 22,
$61; 35-Mile, $21.25; town, $74.
From the Cabaret entertainment
at the Nenana club the sum of $180.
35 was realized, and the picture
show at the Coliseum, the proceeds
of which were donated by Burns &
Rosburg, brought in $192.75.
From the collections that were
made along the line the sum of
$50.25 was realized, Camp 18 send
ing $16, 35-Mile $23.75 and 20-Mile
$10.50.
The Jars placed around town
yielded the sum of $29.17 and $4.50
went into the fund as ten per cent
of bids received on the yarn.
The net proceeds of the dance
on Saturday night were $1695.65,
and the big cake that was raffled
at the entertainment netted $127.
From Sam Comfort’s shoe shining
esablishment the fund was enriched
to the extent of $21.55, Sam doing
about as hard work for the cause
between the hours of 3 and 9 as
anyone engaged in the Drive.
Two life memberships were sold
at $50 each during the week.

GREAT SHOWING I
Northern Territory Holds Record
For Sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps.
The great war has given Alaskans
the opportunity to render valuable
aid to the government. The terri
tory has responded promptly to
every call for aid and has given j
generously of men and money to
help the cause of freedom.
In addition to large sums given
to the Red Cross from time to time, j
and liberal subscriptions to the three
Liberty Loans, Northerners have in-1
vested heavily in war savings and
thrift stamps, the records showing!
that Alaska has set the pace in this I
regard for the entire nation. The ]
following letter, received by Post- j
master Love on this morning’s mail,
shows what the territory has done,
and urges further investment in the
popular securities:
“Juneau, Alaska, May 6, 1918. '
"Postmaster:
“Dear Sir:—Am in receipt of a
letter from Hon. Daniel Kelleher,
! Director of War Savings and Thrift j
Stamps, for Washington and Alaska. '
“The letter is indeed encoutaging j
for all patriotic people of Alaska. j
It indicates that up to the first of ,
April, about $175,000 in stamps
have been sold in Alaska, v'hieh is,
claimed to be the best record to date
of any state in the Union.
“In order that our good record ,
be continued, he suggests that I j
write to every postmaster in Alaska
and urge them to keep on hand a j
good supply of Thrift and War Sav- |
ings Stamps, since there will be a
great demand for them during the
summer months in your section of
the territory.
“Let us show our United States
that Alaska is with them in every
phase of the great war, and help
fight to a victorious conclusion. j
“Very respectfully,
“B. M. BEHREXDS,
Chairman War Savings Matters
for Alaska.”
FAIRBANKS PUBLISHER
LANDS IN JAIL AGAIN
Advices received from Fairbanks
state that George Hinton Henry,
erstwhile publisher who recently
completed a term in the federal jail
on the charge of libel, is again in
the toils at the upper town, having
been placed under arrest this week
on the charge of making libelous
utterances. j
It appears that Henry wrote a
letter seme time ago to Attorney
General Gregory, in which he ac
cused District Attorney R. F. Roth,,
Chief of Police Frank Wiseman and
: others of being pro-Germans. He
also said something about a pro-Ger
man brother of the police chief.
Henry started out over the trail
several days ago, little suspecting
apparently, that his letter would get I
him in trouble. But it has. Upon ;
receipt of advices from Washington
relative to the charges, District At-.
torney Roth went after the veteran
offender and he was apprehended
on the trail by Deputy Marshal Pete
McMullen and returned to town.
The date of his hearing was to have
been set this afternoon at four
o’clock, being held in the meantime,
under bonds in the sum of $1,000.

BOOKS ARE SUPPLIED
TO SOLDIER READERS
CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego, j
May 28.—More than 12,000 books
have been obtained for the local
, camp library through the medium
of a drive for volumes which ended
| recently. Librarian J. H. Quire, who
j has charge of the institution, says
it is now stocked up to about the
i same extent that a public library
in a ciy of this size would be, though
jit still needs many books, such as
texts and references on military sub
jects.
Capt. Everson and a fisherman
; named Ratsy left Cordova on the
’ eighth of March for the Copper river
: flats to* look after fish locations for
; the Orca cannery and have not been
heard of since. They ran into an
ice jam at Dahl’s slough.
