KIDS CHRISMS
BEGINS TONIGHT
Immediately after the picture
show, which will begin at a quarter
to seven o’clock this evening, the
Christmas tree and entertainment
got up by the old bachelors of Ne
nana for the special benefit of the
Nenana children, will be held at the
Labor Union Hall.
A varied and very interesting
program has been arranged for and
a big surprise in the entertainment
line is promised. The school child
ren who have been steadilly drilled
to the parts, will put on several
pleasing, items, and several other
well known amateur entertainers
will also contribute. What promises
to be the hit of the evening is the
Shakespearian play entitled, “Much
ado about nothing’’ by Dooley and
Bruder. The original play of the
great English poet and dramatist has 1
been considerably revised and,
brought down to date bv the famous :
I
thespians and a speed and vim in
jected into the play which was never
dreamed of by its original composer, j
Santa Claus will be there on the |
invitation of the bachelors to dis-1
tribute the good things off the tree 1
to the youngsters after which, it is
expected that the floor will be
cleared and the kiddies will be given
a chance to dance as long as they
like.
! . . ■ I
The commiteee wish to announce I
that all of the gifts from the j
bachelor funds to the kids will be1
distributed off the tree and that the j
things sent by other people for dis-!
tribution will be disposed of sep-;
arately, and that it has no connec
tion at all with the entertainment \
the bachelors have gotten up for
the Nenana kiddies.
The Coliseum orchestra will be
on hand to supply the music for the
dance, and the kids will be given
an opportuntiy to have a great time |

GENERAL HOLIDAY
■SIMAS DAY
Following the time honored cus
tom Christmas Day will be observed
as a general holiday and all places
of business with the exception of
the restaurants will close down for
the day.
The staff of the Nenana News
will also celebrate the day, and con
sequently there will be no issue of
the News tomorrow.
The Nenana News takes this op
portunity to wish everybody a
Merry Christmas.
W. J. Vachon, who has a trading
post and roadhouse on the Tanana
river, near the mouth of the Tolo
vana river, imported a pair of Tog
genburg goats recently by way of
experiment, and in a wire to the
Nenana News says that early on
Saturday morning his herd was in
creased by the arrival of a healthy
and husky kid.
This is the first thoroughbred
Toggenburg buck born in Interior
Alaska, and Jack Vachon, who is
very proud of the stranger, has
named him Captain William, I.
The growth and progress of Cap
tain William will be carefully
watched and the effect of our rigor
ous climate on him as well as on his
sire and dam will be noted with a |
view to entering into the goat rais
ing business on a large scale if
found to be feasible. Alaska is said
to be an ideal place for raising
goats, and they are found in the
wild state in several parts of the
territory.

LINE INSPECTOR
CONTINUE TRIP!
Doctor David More, health officer
of the Nenana district, received a
telegram from Captain Spaulding,
commanding officer at Fort Gibbon,
requesting that Line Inspector Fitz
williams be allowed to continue his
journey to Fort Gibbon. The tele
gram also stated that Captain
Spaulding would hold an inquiry in
to the circumstances of the violation
of the quarantine regulations at Ne
nana to ascertain whether there had
been any misrepresentation on the
part of the army men or whether
the violation was due merely to a
misunderstanding.
In view of the fact that any dam
age done by his passing through can
not be remedied by bringing him
back, Dr. More readily acceded to
Captain Spaulding’s request.
In this connection the doctor
wished to state that to expedite the
work of the Signal Corps, the line
inspector would have been allowed
to pass through Nenana under
eruard if, in asking for permission
to come to town he had stated that
be had come in contact with travel
enroute.
Men walked from Dublin to Paris
once. This was, it is figured out,
in Neolithic times, when, geologi
cally, Ireland was connected by
land with Britain, just as Britain
was connected with Europe. And
today the depression of the Channel
coasts is again and rapidly going on.
Gold is said to be the first metal
to attract man. That was 5000
years B. C. Then came copper and
this was being systemr icallv mined
4500 B. C. Then came the un
known genius who discovc -«d that
certain parts of copper with certain
parts of tin would produce a letal
we now call bronze. And we had
the Bronze Age.
C. H. Calhoun left for Chena this
morning with his fr.st d ,g team.
