SIEVE O'NEILL, LECTURER
Strange as it may seem, and little
as it might be suspected, Steve
O’Neill at one time was the official
lecturer for the Lick Observatory,
and in this capacity fulfilled the
need of that institution for several
years. This fact was known to such
men as Dick Thorne and several of
his oldtime friends, who prevailed
upon Steve to give a lecture in
* Nenana, his home town, on Satur
day night.
To all who are interested in As
tronomy it will be not only educa
tional, but interesting, as Steve
can narrate the narrative of every
star in the heavens up to and in
cluding the constellations of the
sixth magnitude; and to those who
are not particularly interested in
Astronomy, it will prove interest
ing, for Steve is known to be a
good talker and an interesting
speaker on almost any subject, and
the astronomical facts woven into
his humorous barnyard philosophy
will prove interesting to the most
fastidious, as well a's instructive to
the generation now striving to learn
the sblar system, as the constella
tions of the Empyrean vault are, to
the usual mind, as the mythological
gods were to the ancient Troglo
dyte.
Humor has its place in every
heart, and Steve, is known to have
a good supply on tap-at all times,
and all one has to do is to open
the faucet of attention and fill his
■cup of giggles and take some home j
i to the children, for Steve is there— ;
I or thereabout.
i The oldtimers will hear him, for 1
i i
he has been one of them, and has i
slaved and starved with them in the
; hills through many years. The j
! young will hear him, for he is a
constant source of information to j
all of them, whether on the street :
or in a palace. His wide experience:
; should interest every one.

CITIZENS NAME
FIRST TRUSTEES
Xenana's first regularly consti
tuted beard of tr-’stess was elected
yesterday, the seven members being
jchosen in the manner jrsecribed by
a special act passed by the last
territorial legislature, for the ad
ministration of townsite affairs in
co-operation with the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, which exer
cises general supervision over all
towns along the Government rail
road established since the com- j
mencement of railroad construction. :
A total of eighteen candidates1
were placed in nomination at a pub- i
lie meeting held last Saturday i
■night, two of whom—Peter Mor
tensen and J. C. Jacobson—were •
|disqualified because of non-residence 1
I in the town. The seven successful
candidates were:
Oscar Rothenburg .83
R. G. Southworth .82
Tom Smith . 71
William Taylor .70
S. E. Parks .69
| Herman Rosburg . 69
W. C. Gagnon .51 1
On the question of the establish
ment of a board of trustees, which
was voted on by separate ballot,,
the “fors” polled 91 votes, and the
“againsts” 44. A total of 142
.votes were cast.
The standing of the other candi
dates whose names were voted on
was as follows:
Mrs. M. J. Cooney .47
A. G. Johnson .44
Joe Sweatz . 4i
Jack Dwyer .42
Harry Davis .41
Geo. W. Woods .39
Wiliam Thomas .34
Burdette Tunison .32
J. J. O'Brion .19
Peter K rtensen .15
J. C. Jacobson . f>
The voting took place at the fire
hall, the official polling place of the
town, the polls being open frcm
nine yesterday morning to eight
o'clock last night. The judges of
election were Mrs. J. R. Bowen,
Mrs. M. J. Sweeney, and Martin
Nash. Henry Baatz served part of
the day, but was relieved before the
polls closed, his place being taken
by Mrs. Sweeney.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
voting yesterday was restricted to
residents of the town proper, the
number of votes cast was 19 more
than when the advisory board was
elected last year, at which time non
resident property, owners were per
mitted to vote.
The exclusion yesterday of per
sons living on the Commission re
serve, regardless of property inter
ests, has occasioned considerable
complaint among employes of the
Government, especially among those
owning property in town. The
judges were governed in their de
cision on this point by Section 3 of 1
the act authorizing the election,
which says “that the qualifications
of an Elector hereinunder shall be
as follows: He or she shall be a
citizen of the United States, and of
the age of 21 years, and a resident
for thirty days within the limits
of the town or community where
such board shall be elected.” The
judges also contend that the peti
tion requesting the election specifi
cally set forth the boundaries of
the town and that those boundaries
did not include the Commission re
serve, for the reason that it is not
possible, under the law, for the town
to exercise any jurisdiction what-1
ever over the reserve. Commission
er McDonald, while claiming no jur- ■
isdiction in the matter, expresses
the belief that the judges could not
rule otherwise than they did, under
the circumstances, since the law, in ,
his opinion, is very clear on the
point.
This question, it is understood,
will be'taken up by the board of
trustees with a view to securing a
ruling on the point at issue, so as
to eliminate confusion at future
elections. Some of the members of
the board have expressed themselves
as favoring a change in the qualifi
t cations of voters, while others be
llieve no distinction should be made
[between the townsite and the re
I serve, in so' far as voting privi
leges are concerned.
