TRUSTEES ELECT
OF DEPARTMENT
I
Allan A. Johnson, who has served
the town of Nenana as a volunteer
fireman over a period of several i
years, was elected fire chief by the i
town trustees at a special meeting
of the board which was held in the ;
townsite office last evening. There j
were two other applications for the
position—one a written application J
from C. N. Christensen, who admit- j
ted that he had had no experience j
as a fire-fighter, and the other a
verbal application from A. W. Heim
burger.
Johnson was selected because of
his many years’ experience as a
fireman and as a reward for volun
teer services rendered the town in
the past. He was a member of the
Cordova department for ten years,
and four years of that time acted
as assistant fire chief.
The selection of a fire chief by
the trustees was made at the re
quest of Engineer in Charge Fred’k
D. Browne, who informed the mem
bers, through Townsite Manager
Carl Schmidt, that, inasmuch as the
town pays the salary of the fire!
chief, the regularly elected repre-1
sentatives of the voters should make !
the appointment. This is the first j
time the board has had an oppor
tunity to perform such a service for
the town, and is regarded as a step
toward full control of town affairs,
which will come when the town is
turned over to the property owners
by the Alaskan Engineering com- j
mission.
Several applications have been re- I
ceived for the use of reserve tracts'
for planting this spring, but action j
was deferred by the board until the j
regular meeting Wednesday night, j
The new fire chief will assume
his duties on March 20, the date
on which retiring Chief Martin
Nash has expressed a desire to re
linquish his duties. The board last
night tendered Mr. Nash a vote of
appreciation for the very efficient
manner in which he has served the j
town.
The following Nenana ladies were
among those who went to Fairbanks
today for the hospital benefit sched
uled for tomorrow night: Mrs. J. R.
Bowen, Mrs. F. D. Browne, Mi's.

CLUB WILL MEET
TONIGHT 10 TALK
AIDS FOR NORIH
There will be a special meeting of
the Nenana Commercial club to
night for the purpose of discussing
development aids and Alaskan af
fairs generally with Major E. R.
McFarland, superintendent of the!
telegraph and telephone department j
of the Alaskan Engineering commis-;
sion, who is in the Interior on
business in connection with his de
partment. He arrived in Nenana
from the coast several days ago and j
went to Fairbanks on Friday, re- j
turning to Nenana on today’s train. !
The real object of the meeting is,
to give the members of the club an |
opportunity to meet Superintendent j
McFarland, who will be a frequent j
visitor here aftei the railroad has ,
been completed, and whose activi-j
ties as head of a very important j
department will contribute materi-;
ally to the upbuilding of the coun- j
try. The major is a sourdough of i
the Northland, understands condi- j
tions thoroughly, and appreciates the ;
importance of federal aid as a j
means of hastening the development j
of Alaska. And he wants to meet j
the people of the various communi- J
ties and to exchange views with j
them.
The meeting tonight will be an j
informal affair just a regular j
gathering, with a little lunch at
the close—and it is especially to
be desired that all members of the
organization attend.
General Storekeeper Bob Donald
son and Foreman George Woods,
who is in charge of the wire con
struction work north from Anchor
age, also will be guests of the club.
The meeting will be held in the
hall in the Bowen building, a
change from the club's quarters in
the I':.ion building having been
deemed advisable because of the
fact that a basketball game will be
played in Union hall. It was feared
that the noise of the game would
interfere with the meeting.
The meeting will start at the1
usual time—eight o’clock.

STRONG FEATURE SHOW
AT COLISEUM TONIGHT
Lionel Barrymore, in “The Mill
ionaire’s Double,” will be the at

The story deals with an American

his home ar.d travels across the con
tinent. A thief steals a sealskin
overcoat from the house, is set
upon by other thugs, killed, and the
b< d.v is identified as that of the

advantage of this situation and,
knowing the eloping wife is dead,
compels a girl who is in his power
to pose as the “widow.” The mill-1
ionaire sees a notice of his own i
death, returns to his home, meets
the pretty “widow,” falls in love
with her, and pretends to enter into
the swindling plot. At last the
girl, not knowing the real identity

thing to him. and he confesses his
love to her.
