Mr. and Mrs. Ryus and the mem
bers of the schocd board wish to
thanl: the business houses and the
people of Nenana for their generous
cooperation in making the school
hou-t warming at.a dance, held in the
new school house, Sat'ir IX-e\ 3,
such a pronounce 1 success.
Vhe evening-** e/jtercuinmeiit was
o .creel by addres:»e< by Mr i’en
ningtoii and Dr. '.K <wi, J»cti *riuc>:d
by ti e chairman, Mr. Brevig Tnest
were followed by the grand march,
led by Townsite Manager Ryus a#id
the president of the school board,
Mrs. Sweeney. After vocal solos
by Mrs. Hildebrand and artistic
dancing by Miss Valentins Anderson,
;the spjrit pf the dance was entered
i by all, lasting tjlj midnight, when
jrefreshments were served.
Mr. and Mrs. Russel Hildebrand
were in charge of the refreshments
'and those assisting were: Mesdames
Schmidt, Burns and Redman. Mrs.
Rust had charge of the coffee. The
Misses Mildred Anderson and Thora
' O’Neil and Brevig had charge of
the decorations. The dance music
of the evening was generously con
tributed by Mrs. Maher and Mr.
Bergren and was thoroughly appre
ciated by all.
The proceeds from the sale of
tickets will be used to get many
things needed for the children’s
gymnasium.
Harry Abbecrombie, who has been
in the employ of the Me Intosh &
Kubon drug store, at Fairbanks
during the past several years, ar
rived in Nenana several days ago
to relieve Chas. Hanover, at the
Commission hospital. Mr. Hanover
resigned his position some time ago
' and expects to leave for the Out
> side on Tuesday.
Fred Crewe, who has been in the
Tolovana district during the past
several months, has returned to his
‘: old home on Cleary cree for a brief
I stay, after which he w-ill move to
; Nenana.
WORK IS MOVING
SOOTH OF NENANA
Steel is being laid toward the Xe
nana coal fields as rapidly as weath
er conditions will permit and the
end of the traek is now within about
three miles of Camp 0 (20 Mile).
Thirteen hundred feet of trestle is
erquired to carry the track across
Lost slough and the Engineering
force at Residency 2, under super
vision of Resident Engineer Ike P.
Taylor, are busily engaged in driv
ing the necessary piling for this pur
pose. Owing to the glacier that
has recently formed here, this work
is somewhat retarded. To ac
complish the necessary filling and
surfacing on the grade on which
steel is laid, large brush fires are
built at night and the ground thawed
sufficiently to enable the force to get
i the gravel.
It is predicted that trains will run
through to Residency 3 (35 Mile)
by Christmas, and, as the grade be
yond this station is practically com
pleted, it will be but a short time
before train service will be estab
lished through to Xenana Crossing,
at 43 Mile, where the first big bridge
on the main line will carry the iron
trail across the Xenana river.
The Xenana river at 20 Mile
(Lost Slough) is again giving the
Engineering force considerable trou
ble. At the point on the right of
way where piles are now being driv
j en to carry the rails across what was
j cnee Lost slough, but is now the
' main river, the water seems to have
flowed away, leaving a space between
the top of the ice and the river bed,
and the jee, a few miles above this
point appears to have been forced
up by (he pressure of the wat«r,
which flowed or top of the ice, bad
ly glaeiering the country surround
ing, especially in the neighborhood
of the piledriver.
, The wagon road which crosses the
slough just below the ferry was thus
rendered impassable for freight
■teams; sections of the road between
Camp 3 (20 Mile) and Residency 3
: (35 Mile) were also glaclered, but
' no great difficulty was experienced
by the freight teams. In the im
mediate neighborhood of the pile
driver the glacier had reached to the
top of the grade, but as the water
| gives indications of falling off. it is
1 not thought that the roadbed will
be glaciered to any great extent.
On Wednesday it was considered
unsafe for teams on the ice and
freight traffic accordinly was sus
pended for that day. But during
the night the mercury dropped,
rendering the ice firm enough so
1 that traffic was resumed the follow
; ing day.
About a foot and a half of ice
has to be cut away to enable the
men to put the caps on the piling
I across Lost slough.

Frederick jKeil, an agriculturalist
i^nd fox “fanner”, up on the Totat
larijka piver, was in the city on Tues
day on business matters in connec
tion witfc his thriving establishment.
•For the puH fchr<ie years he and his
wife have devoted £ great deal of
time to the raising of foxes. They
began with one pair #fld now have
thirty. This year, Mr. Keil says,
they raised eleven pups. He raises
the cross, silver and black. He
breeds a black male to a cross
female. He proposes this year to
kill off and sell fill but about six
breeding pairs.
The foxes beeome, in time, very
tame, coming up when called and it
is a daily occurrence for them to
take their food from the hand of
Mrs. Keil, who does most of the
feeding on the Keil farm.
The black fox pelts bring an aver
age price of from $400 to $500;
blues from $50 to $60; cross $12 to
$20; reds from $8 to $12; silver
gray from $100 to $150 and whites
from $8 to $15.
