FIVE-PART COMEDY
ON BOARDS SUNDAY
Douglas Fairbanks, the celebrated
i movie star with the “million dollar
smile,” will appear at the Coliseum
tomorow night in one of his great
est screen successes, “His Picture
in the Paper.” This is a five-part
! Triangle comedy feature, with lots
| of action of the sort that has made
: Fairbanks famous, a clever plot and
more refined comedy than is seen
| in the average screen fun-maker.
Reports from the upper town,
' where the picture was shown a short
i time ago, indicate that Fairbanks
■ scored a decided hit there and press
accounts of the comedy, clipped from
the Outside papers, generally agree
that “His Picture in the Paper” is
one of Fairbanks’ best, which is
j ample endorsement.
The show will start at 8.30 o’clock,
j General admission will be fifty cents
1 and reserved seats at 75 cents.
Harold Anderson, the fifth Four
j Minute Man, will address the audi
, ence during one of the intermissions.

' NENANA BOY WRITES
FROM CAMP JOHNSON
—
The following interesting letter
was received by Harold Anderson,!
from his cousin Norman Anderson, i
who was on Chief Doner’s staff at j
the A. E. C. last summer. Norman
says in part:
“I enlisted in Seattle on November
20, and was assigned to the quarter
master’s department, stationed at
Fort Lawton, Wash. We were drilled
there until December 4, and then j
were given one day’s notice to leave
for Fort Johnson, Florida. They do
things very sudden here. It was !
snowing when I left Seattle, and I
saw snow clear through to Georgia.
The weather here is not very nice;
one day it is red hot and the day
following it will rain pitchforks, so
it is very hard to avoid contracting
pneumonia. The weather accounts
for the sickness and deaths which
have occurred in the camps. Wc are
stationed on the St. John’s river,
and this is the training camp for
all the quartermasters. The work
is hard. I am in the general office
and we work from 8 a. m. to 5
p. m., and every other day until
9:30 p. m.
The camp was not finished when
we arrived. The men are enlisting
so fast that they can not handle
them at all and are shipping them
to France as soon as transports can
be had.
Thousands are enlisting to escape
the draft, as by voluntary enlistment
you get a chance to fill out what
is called a qualification card, telling
what you want to be in the army.
Then you are put into a receiving
barracks and your cards are exam
ined and you are assigned the work
or station you are fitted for. The
drafted men will be put into the
infantry and artillery. There are
10,000 men here now and more com- !
ing. If a fellow is registered or
expects to be drafted he should get
in shape physically as soon as pos
sible, because if he isn’t toughened
up he will have to start the drill
anyway or go to the hospital, and
very few admit that they want to
do that.
Believe me, Alaska looks pretty
good to me, and when we’ve disposed
of the Kaiser, I’ll hit back for Ne
nana as soon as possible.
Give my regards to the boys at
the commission, and tell them to
write. My address is: Private N. C.
Anderson, Q. M. C., Service Camp
No. 1, Fort Johnson, Jacksonville,
Florida.”
Harold’s other cousin, Melvin,
who was in Nenana during the Xmas
holidays, is now on his way to i
Seattle, to enter a military school
in preparation for his entrance to
Annapolis Naval Academy, to which
he was appointed by Delegate
Charles A. Sulzer a few days ago.

NIGHT SCHOOL REPORT
SHOWS STEADY GROWTH
The report of the Citizenship
Night School board for the second
month of the night school term,
which has just been submited to
Judge Bunnell, shows a healthy
growth in the attendance and most
satisfactory progress in the work,
under the direction of Instructor
John C. Murphy. The report covers
twenty sessions of the school, vary
ing in length from three to three
and a half hours. The enrollment
shows an increase of ten pupils, the j
total number now being 42, with an ;
average attendance during the second 1
month of 29.
“The foreign born constitute much j
over nine-tenths of the enrollment” !
says the report, “the ages of the
pupils ranging from 22 to 52 years.
Almost every country in Europe has
a representative and some four and
five. There were 39 men and three
women, two of the latter being mar
ried and one unmarried.
“Evidences are many of the en
thusiastic interest being taken by
the pupils and which is so gratifying
to those in immedate charge. All
instruction is given in the English
language, and its use, together with
a brief history of the United States.
Then a brief study on the Constitu
tion, form of government, both fed
eral, state, territorial and civics.
Added instruction is given in read- l
ing, spellng, writing and elementary
arithmetic. On special nights, heart
to heart talk is made, comparing the
various forms of government prevail
ing in the world, with the democracy
of the United States. Then flag in
struction and salutation is impressed.
“We cannot refrain from com-j
mending the patriotic legislature that j
made possible such night schools.
Every true American knows and
feels, that our public school is the
hope of our beloved country, and
what a splendid idea it is, to extend
the sphere of its influence by this
Citizenshp Nght school. The seed
sown now, will in the main, ger
minate, with results, a bountiful har
vest of true souled, loyal and in
telligent American citizenship. True,
it is intended primarly for the
foreigner, but it urges and welcomes
the native-born man ,pr woman, with
no limitation as to age, who has had j
no chance or was neglected in the
use of same. What a future of
aims, seeking and reaching the un
educated and misguided ones so as
to remake and thus become of real
service to themselves, their country,
God and truth.
“And so it seems to us, one of
the essentials for the success of such
schools as this, is the striving to in
spire the pupil with confidence and
from the very first moment have
him or her feel, that something is
being learned, which will fit him
for his present and future surround
ings. May we be permitted to add,
that there is to our minds, a most
imperative demand, that if we would
preserve the destiny of our republic,
we must aim with every means in
our power, at a progressive educa
tion for our immigrant masses where
ever found. We must insist on lib
i eral appropriations for the support
of our entire school system, and then
with wise leadership, progressive and
human pedagogy to direct the forces,
we can and shall have every hope
for the future, for faithful citizens,
loving our school system, honor our
flag and rejoicing in the permanency
of American institutions.
“Respectfully submitted,
J. C. MURPHY,
Instructor.
GEORGE S. MARTIN,
Director.
GEO. W. PENNINGTON.
Secretary.”
Dated at Ner/na, Alaska, this 26th
day of January, 1918.

GUGGS IN KOYUKUK
I
W. F. Lyons is in receipt of a
letter from the Koyukuk in which
he is informed that two representa
tives of the Guggenheims recently
arrived in that district to look over
some ground on the South Fork.
They made the trip into the district
with a team of 13 dogs and are re
ported to have gone there from the
Innoko.
The announcement is of particular
interest to Mr. Lyons for the reason
that he owns considerable ground
on Gold Bench where he and his part
ner did a lot of prospecting last
winter. The district is about 40
miles southeast of Betties.
CLASSES ARE THINNED
BY EPIDEMIC OF ILLNESS
The studies at the Nenana public
school have been considerably inter
rupted during the past week or two
by the prevalence of colds and other
ailments among the children. The
colds are almost epidemic and con
siderable tonsil trouble is also re
ported.
Mrs. Samuel Sea, of Fairbanks,
was in Nenana yesterday, having
made the trip to the railroad town
to consult with Dr. M. E. Smith.
Sylvester Howell came down from
Fairbanks during the week on mat
ters of business.
First class mail was reported at
Rapids this morning and should
reach Fairbanks about Tuesday. The
movement of the mail has been re
tarded greatly by unfavorable trail
conditions.
Special Disbursing Officer G. F.
Cramer, who recently underwent a
major operation at the Government
hospital, was removed to his home
during the early part of the week,
and is mending rapidly.
Frank Johnson and Oscar G. Olson,
timekeeper and storekeeper respec
tively at 35-Mile, mushed into town
this afternoon to take in the Moose
masquerade. They report that Con
tractors Herb Wilson and Billy Lynn
are progressing rapidly with their
work, each having a large force of
men assisting them. Lynn expec"
to have his contract completed aboi
the middle of February.
