night upon their arrival at Nenana.
and the music and the spirit which
prompted the action of the band
boys were very generally appreciat
ed by te visitors, many favorable
comments having been heard. The
band gave a short concert on the
street before the train arrived and
there was more music at the depot
when the special came in. The band
also provided the music for the
dance which was given later for
the entertainment of the excursion
ists.

BROOKLYN EAGLE VISITORS J]
ARE GUESTS OF INTERIOR ,
Xenana had the unusual plea
. I <
sure last night of entertaining near-1
ly seventy New Yorkers, members
of the Brooklyn fiagle party, who
are seeing Alaska at the invitation
of the Department of the Interior.
The visitors made the trip over the
Alaska Railroad by special train
arriving from McKinley Park at
eleven o’clock and leaving for Fair
banks at an early hour this morn
ing, after a stay of several hours
in Xenana. sight seeing and danc
ing. From Fairbanks the party will
return to the coast by way of the
Richardson highway, boarding the
steamer Alameda at Cordova for
the trip back to the States.
The excursionists were met at
the depot by the Xenana Brass
band and a large delegation of citi
zens headed by Mayor Frank Teufel
and escorted to the various points
of interest about town.*after which
practically the entire party repair
ed to Union hall where an informal
dance was held in honor of the
occasion. The visitors found much
interest in the beautiful display of
furs and Indian baskets at the store
of the Northern Commercial Com
pany and many armloads of purch
ases were carried back to the train.
One of the excursionists bought
more than a dozen pairs of Indian
moecasions.
The party reached Xenana some
what ahead of schedule, dates hav
ing been advanced in order to make
way for the Presidential parry,
which will arrive from the coast on
Sunday. The date of arrival at Mc
Kinley park originally was set for
this morning and it was intended
to remain there undl Thursday
morning. The stay at 'the park was
to have included a trip to Savage
river twelve miles from the rail
road. where it had been arranged to
hold a barbacue and dedication
ceremonies. Owing to the altering
of the schedule, however, and to
the fact that the horseback ride to
the Savage river eamp did nor ap
peal to many members of the party
the camp was hastily moved to the
railroad and the barbecue held there
Some of the more venturesome
members of the party spent the
night in the temporary camp erect
ed for their use near the track, but
the majority preferred their beds
aboard the train, behind mosquito
proof screens. During their stay in
the park the visitors were the
guests of Superintendent and Mrs.
Harry Karstens and .Assistant G.
B. Buhman, and they were enthu
siastic over the manner in which
they were entertained.
The party will spend today and
tomorrow in Fairbanks and an el
aborate program has been, arranged
for their entertainment, with auto
rides to the gold-producing creeks,
to the Agricultural College and
School of Mines, the Government
Agricultural Experiment station
and to various other points of in
terest. In addition, there will be
dances, airplane stunting and other
features of interest in town. On
Thursday morning the party will
start over the Richardson highway,
on a 320-mile auto ride to Cbitina
where connection will be made with
the Copper River & Northwestern
railroad for Cordova. When the
travelers reach Hoboken on the re
turn trip they will have covered a
1 distance of nearly 11,000 miles.
The Brooklyn Eagle has eonduet
j Ad a number of tours similar to the
present one. In 1919 a Brooklyn
Eagle party dedicated the Inter
park Highway, in 1920 another
party dedicated Grand Canyon Na
tional park and in 1921 a trip was
made to Honolulu for the purpose
of dedicating Hawaii National park
The majority of the members of
the present party are residents of
Brooklyn and the others live either
in New York City proper or near
by cities. Only a few of them are
members of the Brooklyn Eagle or
ganization, the others representing
various professions and lines of
business, with a very generous pro
portion of wives and daughters.
