between Fairbanks and Nenana. but
if sufficient inducement offers, will

BALL PLAYERS ARE
BUSY AT FAIRBANKS
Advices received from the upper
town indicate that all the ball play
ers of Fairbanks are strenuously
practicing and fitting themselves for
the forthcoming games this season.
They would appear to have ac
quired considerable speed and dex
terity already, and feel confident
that they can defeat any team In
the Interior.
Matches between pick-up teams
have been arranged for Sunday as
usual and close games are looked
forward to.

TO BE LAUNCHED
DURING THE WEEK
Advices received from Fairbanks I
indicate that the steamer Tanana is J
now all ready to take to the water
and that she probably will be
launched this week. The boat is on
the ways at Chena.
Captain George Green will com- j
mand the boat when she is in com
mission, and will work her with the j
crew of the Reliance when neces-!
sarv, transferring to the Reliance
for the trips to be made to the
Kovukuk countrv.
According to present plans, the
Tanana will leave Chena, in ease
she cannot make Fairbanks owing
to the low stage of the water in the
slough, on or about May 19th, with
the steamer Reliance and empty -
barges in tow. She will proceed to
Tanana, where she will leave her
tow, returning to Tolovana to get
more empties. On her second ar
rival at Tanana she will take the
Canadian barge Pelly in tow and
proceed to Dawson, where she will
await the first boat from White
horse, connect with her, and pro
ceed down the Yukon to its mouth.
At the mouth of the Yukon she
will meet the first run of perisha
bles and return with them to Fair
banks, transferring Fairbanks and
Tanana river freight to the Alaska
or the 1 ukon. should either of these
boats be there when the Tanana ar
rives.
The crew of the Tanana will then
'•eeure the boat to the bank at Tan- j
ana, transfer to the Reliance, and
make the first trip to the head of
navigation on the Kovukuk river
i Betties). „
After this trip, the Tanana or
the Reliance will be operated, for
the balance of the season, as occa
sion warrants.
Only two trips will be made up
the Koyukuk river this season.
These trips will be made about
June 25th and August 25th.

RAFFLES BOOST
SALE OF BONOS;
SHORT TIME LEFT
The raffling of Victory bonds,
which was started at the Terminal
last Thursday evening with marked
success, was continued last night and
met with even a larger measure of
support than on the previous day.
Several ladies took part in the
raffles.
The sale of tickets for the raffle
commenced at about 7:30 p. m., and j
the first hundred tickets went in |
a very short time, the raffle of j
the first bond taking place imme- j
diately afterward. This procedure;
was continued regularly with per- ‘
haps a bigger demand for them j
after the show was out.
The last ticket was sold and the j
last raffle held at 10:30 p. m. i
Within this short space of time 1100 |
tickets were sold, representing the!
sale of eleven bonds of $50 each.
Those winning bonds at last night's
raffle were as follows: John Demos
and Andy Hoev in partnership, W.
L. Morris. Harry Owen, Andy Roth,
S. O. Gurney, Albert Larson, John
Paul, Herman Nichols, Carl Bern
hardt, M.
Alam.
A. Schaeffer and Jaras;
The proprietors of the Terminal!
desire to thank their patrons and i
friends for the support extended 1
them in their efforts to boost the
Victory Liberty Loan. Having ae-j
complished the purpose for which:
they undertook the raffle and aided !
the Victory Loan to the extent of.
$1,000, the Terminal will not con-;
tinue the raffle tonight.
AT THE PORTLAND
Messrs Jackson & Ekeland, of the 1
Portland pool hall, also started a:
raffle to boost the Victory Loan last
night. They commenced operations
immediately after the picture show j
and in very short time held two:
raffles. The tickets were sold a; j
50 cents each.
Before the second raffle was well j
under way, the idea struck them
that the wheel of fortune which had i
been used so often with unvarying j
success in previous Red Cross and
other drives, would be just the thing'
to help boost the loan, and accord
, i
ingly it was soon set up; the sale of;
raffle tickets was abandoned and ;
paddles for chances on the wheel :
took their place.
With the closing of the Victory;
Loan operations at the Terminal.'
the crowd that has assembled there, j
joined the one at the Portland and. j
paddles found a ran>d sale.
The wheel was in charge of Jim
Hagen, a past master ;n the busi-:
ness, and in consequence, there was!
no kick at all on his !ec*I<ions. j
In an incredibly short space of'
time, fourteen consecutive raffles!
were held, and fourteen Victory |
bonds of Sob denomination. repve- j
senting $700, found owners.
Big Time Tonight.
The wheel of fortune will resume I
operations again tonight at the Pott I
land and patriotic Americans are j
cordially invited to come and "blow !
themselves” and help boost the Vic-j
tory Loan. Nenana must go ov<r’
the top in this drive and keep up the 1
reputation she gained in all previous
drives.
The winners on the wheel of for
tune last night were Miss Mildred
Anderson, Harry Capp, Ernest Bie
solt, J. W. Brown, Bob Tcussaint,
Dave Sweet, Ed Harbers and W E. j
Leonard one $50 bond eaeh.
O. B. Hubbard, John Demos and
Jaras Alam, two $50 bonds each.
