NENANA LIBRARY
GETS NEW BOOKS
One hundred and twenty-one new
books have arrived and are now
being put on the shelves of the
public library at Union Hall.
Fifty-four books that were shipped
failed to arrive, as the order sent
the publishers by Lowman & Han
ford was too late in the season.
The invoice price of the 121 totals
$155.66; as $57 was remitted with
the order, there remains a balance
of $98.66 unpaid.
These books are the latest fiction
and some 20 books on the war, in
cluding such books as “My Four
■-— ■
SkoiHouse
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
Mrs Norman Campbell
Years in Germany,” by Gerard.
Until these books are paid for
they will be kept separate from the
old ones; and issued to holders of
library cards on payment of a bingle
valued at five cents for each book
issued. Bingles may be obtained
at Union hall.
In town, the length of time al
lowed will be for one week only,
for any new book; if the book i?
kept overtime a fine of 25 cents
will be imposed, and no further
books in the new series issued to
the holder of the card until the
fine is paid. This rule is adopted
to lessen carelessness in the return
of the books, as they must be kept
circulating if the money to pay the
balance due is to be secured promptly
Out-of-town holders of cards may
draw books of fiction and hold them
10 days; but the war books will not
j be issued out of town at present,
: as there are too few of them for it
| to be possible. Later in the winter,
as the probable call for them lessens,
they may be sent to the camps if
desired.
It is expected to have the books
on the shelves ready for issue by
November 1st.
War is an ugly thing, but a Ger
man peace is uglier—.

CHAIRMAN tUtS
IS ELATED OVER
SALE OE BONOS
In a telegram received by Fred
erick D. Browne, engineer in charge,
from Chairman Edes of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, the latter
sends hearty congratulations to Mr.
Browne and all concerned in Nenana
who had helped to make a splendid
showing on the sale of the Fourth
Liberty Loan bonds.
The total amount subscribed to
ward the Fourth Liberty Loan thru
the Alaskan Engineering commission
reached the splendid figure of $317,
500,000, an achievement that merits
the warmest praise. The total sub
scribed through the same channel
toward the Third Liberty Loan was
only $173,000.
The total amount subscribed
through the Alaskan Engineering
commission for the Fourth Loan is
made up as follows:
Washington office. $ 200
Seattle office . 2,150
Seward division . 26,900
Anchorage division . 210,450
Nenana . 77,800
Total .$317,500
Nenana has just reason to be
proud of the splendid patriotic
showing made and in having more
than doubled the quota allotted to
the district, once again demonstrat
ing to the world that Nenana is a
live town, and that she is foremost
in all activities of a patriotic nature.
The Fourth Liberty Loan quota
allotted to Nenana was $30,000. By,
the showing made Nenena has earn
ed the right to fly ap honor flag,
which will probably arrive here
shortly.
The quota allotted to Nenana
during the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign was only $15,000, but the sub
scriptions toward the loan made by
the people of this district amounted
to $32,950. This meritorious result
pales insignificance when com
pared with that obtained in the cam
paign, just closed for the Fourth
Loan, and not only places the town
in the forefront in matters pertain
ing to patriotic endeavor, but also
gives indication of the growth of
the town and district in wealth and
populaton.

ME DISTRICT
Dr. David More, chief surgeon o;
the Alaskan Engineering commission
Stephen Foster, game warden anc
George Melvin returned to towr
after having enjoyed a ten-day hunt
ing trip spent in the hill country
in the neighborhood of the Lignite
roadhouse, during which the hunter;
were able to secure the limit bay
of caribou.
The hunters’ journeyed by trair
from town to the end of steel anc
mushed to the Lignite roadhouse
from this point. From Lignite they
packed their camping outfit on i
pack horse and hit for the hill coun
try behind the Lignite roadhouse
picking out a campsite in the tabic
land or plateau about nine mile:
southwest of the roadhouse.
The section of the country when
the hunters established their cam]
was in what might be termed the
heart of the caribou country, anc
large herds of these animals were
I encountered daily, and the hunter:
were enabled to get their pick ol
the herds until the limit allowec
under the laws had been obtained
Dr. More says that some of the
| party came across a few moose, but
none of these animals were killed
The mountain sheep had not come
down to the plateau yet and conse
quently none of these animals were
seen by any of the party. The
sheep seldom come down to the flal
until after the snow falls, keeping
to the high altitudes until then.
The caribou killed by the party
were dressed and cached away in
re*adiness to be hauled into town
on the first snows of the winter.
A few of the carcasses were brought
to town by Steve Foster.
Dr. More mushed in from Lignite
to the end of steel, taking the train
there and arrived in time to resume
his work yesterday morning, the rest
oF. the party followed leisurely and
arrived after the doctor did.
Dr. More says that he had a
splendid time and enjoyed his hunt
ing trip immensely. The party
batched during their stay in thi
hills and lived on the fat of the
land, their appetites being sharpener
by the crisp mountain breezes anc
the joyous exercise of the hunt.
