SEND THE NEWS
Mr*. J. A Slippern Tell* of Incident*
and Ala*kan* Enroute to tke
State*.
In a letter received on the last
incoming mail, Mrs. J. A. Slippern,
writing to her husband, says it tz so
far they have had a good trip, out
wish they were back in Nenana.
The soldiers of the post got up a
dance on the day of the arrival of
the boat at Tanana, in hon >r of
the passengers and quite an enioy
able time was spent by all who went
to the dance. Thora Slippern help
ed out in the music line and played
the piano during several of the
dances.
The Nenana boys who tr\e been
drafted into the service are reported
to have made a big hit with the
people of Tanana, who are loud in
their praises of them.
Mr. and Mrs. Craig Redman, late
of Nenana, joined the boat at Hot
Springs. They are said to be leav
ing the country for good. Among
others who are leaving the country
are Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Coyle, of
Ruby, who joined the outward bound
boat at Tanana, having come up
from Ruby in a launch. Mr. Coyle,
who is a wealthy mine operator in
the Ruby district, was only recently
married, his bride was formerly
Miss Lutro, well known in the Tan
ana Valley.
Mrs. Leheureaux, who was a Ne
nana visitor recently, received word
at Tanana when on her way home
to Ruby, that her husband Arthur
Leheureaux, and Webster and S.
Dalby, of Ruby, have been called
to the colors and will have to re
port within thirty days of the re
ceipt of the order calling them to
the colors. They are Canadians and
will report somewhere in Canada.
COONEY IS WAD
OF LOCAL WORK
Mrs. G. W. Gasser, the territorial
representative of the American Red
Star, which is the Red Cross of the
animal world, received a telegram
intimating that the society had con
fered upon her the power to or
ganize branches of this humane
society in Alaska, and accordingly
| she has selected M. J. Cooney as
j the head of the Nenana branch.
Mr. Cooney is eminently fitted
i for the position as there are only
a few men in the North who know
as much about the proper care of
animals as he does, and under his
fostering care, the society is bound
to grow in this district.
He is now making preparations
with a view of organizing the branch
in Nenana, and all lovers of anmials
are urged to become members of
the Red Star and help the good
work along. f The membership fee is
only one dollar per year and en
titles the holder to the society’s
magazine, which is issued monthly.
The Red Star society is given
full recognition by the war depart
ment and the government of the
United States is at the back of it.
Through its humane endeavors on
the battle fields a great many horses
have been cared for and restored to
the service. The activities of the
society is not confined to the care
of the animals serving the country
at the front, but extends all over
the country, and they will see that
our dumb animals will be given a
fair show at all times.
There is an urgent need for funds
for the purpose of establishing hos
pitals for the care of wounded ani
mals in the war zone, and Mr.
Cooney will be glad to enroll new
members and give all the informa
tion necessary regarding the work
of the Red Star.
We’ll substitute corn for wheat
and victory for defeat.

SONJS GASSED
J. H. Deithrichs Receives News That
His Son “Over There” Has Been
Gassed By the Huns.
John H. Deitrichs, townsite ac
countant, received a letter on the
last mail which contained the news
that his son, who is on the battle
front with the American troops, had
been gassed and was, tfiken to one
of the field hospitals for treatment.
The letter, which is written by a
friend of young Dietrichs who is
serving in the same company, states
that he is quite well now and is
very anxious to go back to the fir
ing line.
Young Deitrichs enlisted at Seattle
some time ago and was attached to
Company C, 2nd Battalion, T:ild
Signal Corps, and after a course
of intensive training at Cam.) I.ex ;s
J was sent to the front.
This is the first intimation that
his parents and friends hav» had
that he was on the battle line.
ENGINEER TELLS
OE I. V. REPAIRS
Engineer Ward Inspected T. •J. Road
and Work Will Be Outlined
For Next Seaton.
Locating Engineer Herbert K.
Ward, who arrived in .Nen&na re
cently from the Anchorage division
to undertake the rehabilitation of
the Tanana Valley Railroad, re
turned from Fairbanks a few days
ago after having gone over the line
of that railroad. He is working on
the data gathered on his tour of
inspection.
Mr. Ward states that nothing
definite has been arranged regard-!
ing the work of rehabilitation which,
of coarse, will largely depend on
the amount of the appropriation!
allotted for that purpose. The road j
is of a temporary nature and is1
not in a fit state for anything but
very light traffic, and, to permit
even of the light traffic, consider
able repair work, especially to the
structures supporting the line at
intervals, is now being undertaken.
Mr. J. B. Bickford, who is in
charge of the work on the T. V.
line, has practically put in new cul
verts and bridges to replace the
old ones between Fairbanks and Gil
Inore and is now engaged in strength
ening and repairing the bigger tres
tles along the line, of which there
are quite a few
Mr. Ward is of the opinion that
locomotives of the type of No. 151,
which has been received this season
and fixed up for service on the
Nenana-Fairbanks line, cannot be
safely operated on the T. V. line
until the tracks now existing have
been replaced with a heavier type
of steel. For this purpose a large
I quantity of the type known to rail
road men as 55 pound steel has
been ordered, and will in time, re
place the existing rails on the T. V.
i R. R. A large quantity of this
steel has already been received and
will be sent to Chena for use on the
line later on.
The extension of the line from
Fairbanks to Nenana is progressing
and a great many grading con
tracts have been let from either end
of the line. Track has been laid
from Happy station for a distance
of a little over five miles toward
Nenana, and it is expected that by
freezeup the line will have been ex
tended as far as Spinach creek and
possibly beyond.
It is expected that one of the
small engines now lying idle in the
Nenana yards, and one of the steam
shovels will be shipped to Fairbanks
some time before the freezeup.
DANCE POSTPONED
j The dance scheduled to take place
| at the Nenana Labor Union Hall to
night has been postponed indefin
itely, owing to the fa<;t that Judge
Wickersham will speak at the Colis
eurh tonight.
