jMANY GARMENTS
! FOR DESTITUTE
MADE LOCALLY
The ladies of the local Red Cross
who have been working steadily
and daily, manufacturing garments
intended for the use of the French
and Belgian peasants in the war
torn sections of their respective
countries, have a shipment now
all ready to be forwarded to those
who will use them.
Seventy-two shirts are now ready
to be sent to French and Belgian
peasants. Much credit is due Mrs.
A. Johnson, who cut all these shirts
at her home, thereby accomplishing
far more than her share. Also Mrs.
Walter Gould and Mrs. Dwyer, who
have given their time everv after
noon for a month; and Mrs. Gilcfcor
and Mrs Hill, who have come each
day for a week. Sirs. Oldfield, Mrs.
Sweeney, Mrs. Waechter and Mrs
Norman Campbell have also done
double duty.
Ten of the garments were made
by the Indian girls of St. Mark's
Mission and sent to the chairman
recently. The girls have worked
unaided and deserve a large meas
ure of praise for their splendid ef
fort in a ' most worthy cause.
It is largely due to the untiring
eforts of these women that these
shirts are now ready to ship.
Mrs. F. D. Browne, chairman of
the local branch of the Red Cross,
desires to thus publicly extend her
deep and sincere gratitude to these
workers.
1 here yet remain the same num
ber, or slightly more, jackets to
do; and the sewing is to go on
each day except Saturday at the
home of Mrs. F. D. Browne, chair
man, on the Commission reserve,
and she urgently requests each and
every woman who can to come and
do her bit, so that the local Red
Cross branch may be able to get
these rnents across seas at the
earliest possible moment.
Tis true the war is over. But
this work for the French and Bel
gian peasants who have sacrificed
their all :n the great common cause
of freedom is just as much our
patriotic duty today as it was last
winter. If you can't sew, you
can pull bastings.
CAMP LEW IS.—The army ha?
a new mental disease, known as
. “military paranois” and many men
who were absolutely sane in civilian
life have contracted it, according
to Major Robert P. Smith, of the
91st (“Wild Wrest”) division, who
has returned here from overseas.
Major Smith is divisional psychia
trist, a mental expert, and the first
officer of the division representing
men of the Pacifici coast to return.
^Major Smith arrived in advance
of his division to catalog cases of
shell shock as w'ell as those wound
1 ed men whose ailments come wtihin
the scope of psychiatry, which is a
study of mental conditions.
The major is particulary inter
ested in “military parancia,” the
chiew symptom of which is ex
cessive depression.
“Most of the cases are curable”,
said Major Smith, “but the patient
must have the proper surroundings
, and treatment.”
Major Smith had nothing but
praise for the men of the 91st di
vision, declaring that they were the
shock troops for the French and
Belgians during the last three weeks
of the war.
“There is nothing grander in the
war”, declared the officer, ‘than
the way men of the 91st division
distinguished themselves in the St,
Mihiel drive and in the Argonne
Forest. Everyone in the West has
a right to be proud of the division
‘ and every man in it.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
MET LAST NIGHT
The regular weekly meeting of
! the Nenana Commercial club was
held at the club chambers in the
Union Hall last night. There were
only eighteen members present,
which is considerably below the
. average for attendance.
The meeting was called to order
by R. S. McDonald, the chairman,
shortly after 8 o’clock, and after
the minutes of the previous meet
ing had been read and confirmed,
the following gentlemen were voted
oh and duly elected to membership
in the club: K. A. Finlavson, Alfred
Ghezzi and George A. Smith.
The secretary then read two com
munications from Geo. W. Penning
ton regarding the roads to the ad
jacent mining districts Mr. Pen
nington had had interviews with
Major Waugh, of the Alaska Road
commission and Woodbury Abbey,
cadastral engineer of the Genera!
land office, in regard to the build
ing of the road into the Kantishna
mining district and the McKinley
National Park, and much valuable
data of great interest to the people
of the district was contained in the
letters.
A letter from Governor Riggs,
regarding roads, was also read.
The governor showed that he was
greatly interested in the develop
ment of the district and, in his
letter he promised to do all in his
power to help along these lines.
The reports of the various com
mittees were then called for. The
committee on roads and government
aid to prospectors had nothing to
report. The committee on mines
reported that it is now working
along altered lines and that a re
port will be made at the next regu
lar meeting of the club. The com
mittee had . received several maps
showing the surrounding mining
dstricts in their relation and dis
tance to the railroad and these were
placed on display for the informa
tion of those who may wish to con
sult them.
The appointment of an officer
whose duty it shall be to visit the
mining districts and ascertain wheth
er or not the assessment work re
qured under the law has been done
was discussed at some length, and
the suggestion was offered that the
Commercial club memorialize the
territorial legislature, urging the
appointment of such officer, but no
action was taken. It is possible
that the suggestion will be acted
upon at the next regular meeting
of the club.
The Commercial club’s represent
ative on the Board of Associated
Charities then stated that an agree
ment had been arrived at whereby
the board will get 50 per cent of
all the pools started in the town
on the break-up of the river, the
money so derived to be used at
the descretion of the board in worthy
charities. The ice pool started by
Mr. McAuley was taken over by
the board and will be run along
the lines indicated, the winner of
the pool getting 50 per cent of the
total collected from the sale of
chances. Mr. Slippern, who is chair
! man of the board, said that if much
opposition develops, the board will
probably abandon the idea of run
ning a pool.
The excursion committee reported
that the excursion was a success;
all of them said they would go again
t if a similar excursion was gotten up.
The committee appointed to make
arrangements for the formation of
a fur center reported that they had
made the choice of a room which
j appeared to be eminently suited for
the purpose of placing the furs on
( display. The room, which is in W.
i A. Coghill’s store, was cosidered by
, the committee to be centrally
located, well lighted and in every
; way suitable for the purpose. The
rent asked for it was only $12 a
I month, which the Commercial club
i is willing to pay. This fur display
; room, which will only be the har
. binger of the big fur center that
is to be built up in Nenana, will
be at the disposal of trappers and
- fur buyers at all times, free of cost.
' during the winter season and up to
the end of the first month after
1 the opening of navigation, viz June

30th. The Commercial club, while
paying the rent and placing the
room at the disposal of fur men
wrish it to be distinctly understood
that they will in no way assume any
responsibility for loss or damage to
fur while on display and pending
sale. The aim of the club is to fos
ter the industry and establish a
center where producer and buyer
can meet and where both parties
can get a square deal.
This matter, which is one of
great importance to the district, was
discussed fully and it was ascer
tained that, during the trapping
season, furs to the value of from
25 to 30 thousand dollars pass thru
Xenana; a large quantity of which
will find a ready market locally if
such an institution as the Commer
cial clubs seeks to create is estab
lished in Xenana and propertly ad
vertised.
After considerable discussion it
was agreed upon, in due form, that
the present committee appointed for
the purpose of looking into the fur
question be given enlarged powers
to go ahead and close the deal with
Coghill, provided all of the other
parties in the town and district
interested in fur are agreeable to
the establishment of the fur center
for the present, at least, in Cog
hill’s store.
The matter of Edes’ letter was
also brought up and some desultory
discussion was indulged in, but as
it was the concensus of opinion
that it was a matter not strictly
within the province of the club, no
action was taken. V
On motion, the meeting adjourned
at about 10:30 p. m.
