The celebration of welcome staged
hv the people of Nenana on Sunday,
under the auspices of the Nenana
Commercial Club, in honor of the
arrival of the First Through Train
from the Coast, on the Government
railroad, was a success ir, every
particular and reflects much credit
. on the various committees appoint
ed to arrange the various details,
and on Nenana Igloo, No. 1?, Pio
neers of Alaska, which organisation I
turned out in a body and contribut- j
ed in a very large measure to the;
success of the celebration.
The train was about half an hour,
behind schedule time in reaching I
Nenana and its distant approach
was heralded by a long blast of the ;
fire whistle, which was the signal i
for the populace to gather. And j
when the big locomotive, with a
string of modern passenger coaches
and the combination diner and ?t-;
servation car “Nenana”, pulled in
to the station, about the biggest
crowd that ever gathered togetner
in Nenana was there to greet it.
The turnout was remarkable in view
of the fact that cold and disagree
able weather prevailed at the time,
the temperature being a dozen de
grees below zero at noon, with a
! fairly strong breeze blowing.
The crowd was both large and
J representative. There were present:
Mayor Tom Smith and members of
the City Council; President J. K.
Bowen and members of the Nenana
Commercial Club; President Joe O’
Connor and members of Nenana
Igloo, No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska;
Superintendent and Mrs. A. B. Phil
lips and the children of Franklin K.
Lane School; Dictator Alf Ekeland
and members of Nenana Lodge, No.
1193, Loyal Order of Moose; Miss
Wright and the members of thi
teaching staff and the children of
I St. Mark’s Mission, the entire popu
| lation of the Indian village and all
of the rest of the population of the
community.
The cold weather brought out a
liberal adornment of winter clothing
including furs of all kinds, parkas,
mukluks and caps, and the appear
, ance was striking. Joe Nadon, who
i is a well known oldtimer of the
| North, appeared as a prospector,
| making camp after a long mush ov
! er the trail. He wore a parka fringed
! with wolf fur, carried a pack on his
| back, with axe, snowshoes, gold pan,
; frying pan, sourdough pot and about
a dozen grouse and ptarmigan at
tached to it. He also carried a rifle
and a “bug” of sourdough make.
Jacob Olson, another oldtimer, and
veteran of two wars, was attired in
| much the same manner. He was on
skiis and carried a rifle and freshly
killed rabbit. Both of these features
were staged to give “color” to the
moving pictures of the celebration.
Peter Steil, Alaska representative
| of the Pathe News, was stationed
j on a platform near the foot of A
I street, from which point of vantage
j he filmed the proceedings, including
the arrival of the many dog teams.
Immediately, after the train was
brought to a halt near the foot of
A street, the railroad officials, head
ed by F. A. Hansen, engineer main
! tenance and construction, were es
corted to a place near the movie
man’s camera, where Mayor Smith,
acting for the city, and Dr. Bowen,
for the Commercial Club, under the
auspices of which organization the
celebration was arranged, welcomed
them to the city. Immediately after
ward, M. J. Cooney, clad as a typi
cal dog musher, with his crack dog
team, and Miss Hazel Teeland, as
passenger, drove up in front of the
big locomotive, bringing the sleigh
to a halt smartly across the bows
of the engine, where the young
lady, native daughter of the Golden
North, alighted. This feature repre
sented the passing of the old and
the coming of the new order of
things in Interior Alaska. Miss Tee-1
a
land, who represented “Miss Ne
nana”, was most becomingly attired
in a rich reindeer parka, trimmed
with beaver and wolverine, fur seal
mukluks with reindeer tops, and
moose hide mittens richly trimmed.
The young lady walked to the
head of the locomotive and shook
hands with Engineer Pete Gallagher
and then in turn with F. A. Han
sen, Chief Master Mechanic F. C.
Ferrell, Roadmaster Tom K. Blakey,
Traveling Engineer A. O. Adams,
Wire Chief W. C. Steinmetz, Master
Mechanic J. M. Reiter, Assistant
Trainmaster Rose and the members
of the train crew. Then at a given
signal from the cameraman, she
broke a bottle of near champagne
on the front coupling of the engine,
amid the cheers of the assembled
crowd. The choice of Miss Teeland
for this ceremony was a happy one,
as she is a true daughter of the
North, having been born and reared
in Alaska. Her father, John Tee
land, is a sourdough of early vint
age, and her mother, Mrs. Teeland,
was one of the first white women
to brave the hardships of the early
Northern days.
Following the christening cere- j
mony, Mayor Tom Smith, standing |
on the track in front of the loco-'
motive, in a brief and appropriate ]
address, presented a key to Mr.
Hansen, who feelingly acknowledg
ed the gift. The key, on one side,
bore the legend, “To unlock Interior
Alaska’s Treasure Chest’’, and on!
the other side, “To F. A. Hansen,!
Engineer M. & C.’’ and the date
and place of presentation inscribed
on the handle.
After this ceremony and the film
ing of the moving crowd and the
many dog teams, the railroad officials
were escorted to the banquet hall
of the Central Cafe, where a Rail
road Dinner was served in honor of
the occasion. The committee respons-!
ible for this feature of the enter-j
tainment was composed of J. H. j
Flower, Charles E. Bergman, Alex \
Fowler and Bob Toussaint.
Dr. J. R. Bowen acted as toast-;
master and Miss “Nenana” was the j
unanimous choice of the gathering!
as guest of honor, which respons- j
ibility she carried off very becom-. \
ing at the banquet.
Those present at the dinner were:'!
F. A. Hansen, F. C. Ferrell, W. R. j |
Manning, Tom K. Blakey, J. M. 1
Reiter, Assistant Trainmaster Rose,
A. O. Adams, Special Agent Scholtz
W. C. Steinmetz, who were the i
guests of the Commercial Club;
Mayor Tom Smith and Councilmen
R. G. Southworth, M. J. Cooney,
William J. Taylor, William A. Cog
hill, Frank Teufel and Charles E.
Bergman and City Clerk Bob Tous
saint, President J. R. Bowen, of the
Commercial Club and Messrs. James
Cody, Joe Fischer, W. H. Gilcher,
Herman Anderson, Louis Johnson,
and J. H. Flower, members of the
club.
Covers also were laid for Col. F.
Mears, head of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, and Fred’k D.
Browne, engineer in charge of the 1
same organization, whose unavoid
able absence from the festive was
the occasion of general regret.
Owing to the limited time at the
disposal of the railroad officials, the
majority of whom were to leave on
the southbound train during the ear- :
ly afternoon, the toasts were brief
but the few remarks that were made
reflected a feeling of warmest regard ;
and a desire to work unitedly for j
the upbuilding of Alaska.
