j CEMETERY PLOT
A party of Pioneers went out
to the Nenana cemetery yesterday
evening and cleared that portion of j
it allotted to them for the burial
, of their dead. The request for the
; nllottment of a certain portion of
ine cemetery for the use of the ’
Pioneers was made some time ago
to Mr. F. D. Browne, by the local
igloo, and was readily granted.
I
The party which went out yes
terday was composed of Frank
I Rourke. E. A. Williams, William
Taylor. J. A. Dyer, Martin Gilman,
Richard Inks'.or. John Christopher-:
; son, Tony Letrav, J. J. O'Brien.'
; and Pat Crowley.
I. The necessary tools to work with
'and the handcars used for the jour
; ney were placed at the disposal of
the oldtimers by the A. E. C. of-;
ificials. The start was made shortly
■ after 6 p. m., two handcars being
’ used, and ere the party had pro
ceeded very far along the road the
| car ahead came to a stop, but those
| on the rear car would appear to
; have been oblivious of this fact,
with the result that a collision and
i a mild panic resulted. However,
! there was no damage done and the
; oldtimers went out to the ceme
! tery, did the work that took them
there, and returned to town in a
! couple of hours, well satisfied with
i the progress made.
As there is much yet to be done,
j they expect to make a few more
trips before the mosquitoes become
too numerous.

IS GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from Page One)
operating on the N'enana-Fairbanks
line, reached all the camps along
the right of way, and materially
added to the splendid result achieved
Andy Hoey and Mrs. Bishop, of
the Terminal, hit upon the plan
of holding a raffle of bonds and
announced their intention to add to
the quota to the extent of SI000,
which they did, by hard unselfish
work. They deserve the thanks of
the community, not only for help
ing the drive, but for springing the
raffle idea on the public and there
by being the direct means of add
ing a large sum to the splendid
result of the Victory drive.
The Portland took up the raffle
idea and operated it for a brief
spell by sale of tickets, as chronicled
in these columns before; abandon
ing for the wheel of fortune,
which gave much quicker results
and was a more popular form of
gambling.
The Portland was crowded, from
stem to stern, with eager Nenana
ites last night; a large number of
the fair sex also graced the gath
ering with their presence, and when
the sale of paddles commenced there
was an eager rush for them.
A table, presided over by 0. M.
Jackson and Alf Ekeland, was ar
ranged opposite the bar of the
Portland for the sale of paddle-.
The wheel cf fortune was firmly
fixed on the wall above the table
and was operated by F. D. Browne
with a deftness that astonished the
old hardened sourdough gamblers of
the early days of the Klondike
rush, who happened to be there.
With a little tightening of a bolt
or two here and there and a little
delicate manipulation to true it up,
he worked that wheel to perfection
and oldtimers were heard to re
mark that the foremost “croupier”
of the world-famed casino at Monte
Carlo had nothing on Frederick D.
The ladies, under the leadership
of Mrs. Frederick I). Browne, took
an active part in the sale of pad
dles, such sales taking place with
startling rapidity. The large crowd
remained to the end and enjoyed
the proceedings immensely. Ex
citement ran high when the wheel
was given a whirl, and the rapidly'
revolving indicator was watched
with bated breath. Paddles were
sold at a dollar each, and always
found ready purchasers. The first
raffle started at about 9 p. m., and
the last shortly before midnight,
and twenty-six bonds of the $-50
denomination, aggregating S 1,300,
were raffled. Each bond winner
was given a receipt in blank, which ■
was duly filled up by Joe Fisher,
who acted as secretary of the ca
sino. The following won $50 bonds
at the raffle: Joseph Wargo, Mike
Goonen, Bert Wilson, Wm. A. Dal
las, Miss Queenie Bussell, Tom
Smith, Mrs. F. D. Browne, C. C.
Dunlap. Wm. Burke, E. J. Stier,
Frank Doner, John Demos, Tom
Matthews, Joe Fisher, Mrs. Joe
Fisher and Ben Johnson in partner- i
ship, John Carlson, Albert Larson.
Dominick Grelli, R. S. McDonald,
J. C. Nail (2 bonds l, O. M. Jack- 1
son, H. X. Shaw, E. D Bresnahan, ,
A. W. Heimburger, and Harry j
On counting up the cash re- 1
ceipts, it was found that the sum
of SI 0.50 was short. The gam
bling spirit had not died down at
the close of the games, and on the
suggestion of Harry Owen, those
present bought paddles at 50 cents
each, and after reimbursing the
house to the extent of the short
age, the balance was given to the
winner, who proved to be Joe
Fisher.
Xenana has, once again, gone
over the top. The actual figures
are not available, but a fairly cor
rect estimate places it at $45,000,
which is $7,000 over and above the
Xenana quota. To single out any
particular person or group in be
stowing praise is quite impossible;
the citizens did nobly, one and all,
and have every reason to feel
proud of the splendid result reach
ed, and the fair fame of Xenana ^
