AERIAL CIRCUS PROVES
BIG CELEBRATION CARD
The airplane exhibition given in
. Nenana on Thursday evening by
Aviator Ben Eileson. in connection
with the Fourth of July celebration
came fully up to the expectations
of the committee which had adver
tised the aviator to put his machine
through a variety of stunts, familiar
enough to Outsiders, but never be
fore seen in Alaska. Mr. Eileson
did all that the committee asked him
to do and much more, his exhibition
beng fully as thrlling as any simi
lar exhibition in the States.
The take off was made easily and
gracefully, notwithstanding the fact
that the Nenana field is somewhat
under the specifications usually de
manded by aviators, and the trim
little plane rose rapidly to a con
siderable height, then began circling
There were somersaults, nose dives,
tail spins and a variety of other
feats which kept the spectators in
a state of tense excitement and as
sumed almost the proportions of a
panic when the plane came down
swiftly upon the grandstand and
skimmed across the field traight
at a nearby cabin, collision was cle
verly avoided, however, by a slight
movement of the wings which lifted
the plane over the house. A landing
was made afterward, the plane
touching the ground lightly and
stopping almost immediately.
The large number of spectators
were delighted with the exhibition
and many of them rushed to the
plane to congratulate Aviator Eile
son upon his splendid manner in j
which he had handled his machine.
Mr. Eileson, with R. C. Wood as
a returning passenger hopped off for
Fairbanks shortly after the exhibi
tion, making the journey to the up- ^
per town in less than half an hour

FORMER ANCHORAGE MAN
LOCATES NEW OIL TOWN
E. Enos, former Anchorage busi
ness man and who was among the
first locators of oil-bearing land
in the Cold Bay district, Alaska,
arrived in Seattle recently from that
section. After locating oil claims
Mr. Enos went outside, remaining in
Seattle for some time. His recent
trip says the Alaska Weekly was
for the purpose of locating a town
site as a base for oil drilling opera
tions in what is called the Bear
Creek dome section.
The present drilling is confined
to operations in the Pearl Creek
dome section, of which the town of
Kanatak appears to be the natural
