The ladies of the Red Cross have

, been donated for the purpose.
Full announcement of the plans

PUBLIC MEETING
10 BE HELD FOR
NEW DEPARTMENT
Residents of Nenana Urged to Meet
At Fire Hall Tonight At
Seven O’Clock.
A public meeting will be held at
the fire hall tonight for the pur
pose of discussing fire protection
and formulating plans for the or
ganization of a volunteer fire de
partment, of which the town stands
greatly in need at the present time.
All property owners and others in
terested in this important matter,
are invited to attend. The meeting
has been called for seven o'clock.
The need of greater protection
was discussed at a meeting of the
Nenana Commercial club, two weeks
ago. and the call for a public meet-'
ing is the result of a conference be
tween members of the club and the
townsite manager.
The town possesses a perfectly
good chemical engine and. within a
very short time, fire hydrants will
be installed throughout the business
section, with sufficient water pres
sure to render fire fighting effective
But at present there are no fire
fighters, other than the fire chief,
either to man the chemical or to
operate the hose attached to one of
the hydrants. And it is for the pur
pose of remedying this state of
affairs that the meeting has been
i called. Everybody is invited to at
tend.

ICE NEARLY OUT !
AT UPPER TOWN
__
Chena Slough It Open Fo - Con
siderable Distance-Just Below
Official Flag.
The ice moved in Chena slough
in front of Fairbanks today, but
unfortunately for those who had
picked today for the general break
up. the official flag, which was
implanted in the ice a short distance
above the government bridge, still
stands undisturbed. The ice sheet
; parted at a point a few feet below
the flag and moved quietly down
stream, leaving the time of the offi
| cial breakuy still a matter of much
j uncertainty. Bets are not payable
. until the flag passes beneath the
; bridge.
i The slough is now open between
the bridge and the shipyard and
j it is estimated that the general
breakup may not occur for another
j day or so. It cannot be long de
layed, however, as the water is rising
rapidly and may start a movement
j of the ice at any moment.

PROGRAM POSTPONED
The program scheduled for Satur
day evening at Grace church has

Work of Starting Dock on North
Side of Tanana Awaits Action
of New Head.
At noon on the eth instant, the
crew of men sent to Camp 51, situ
ated about nine miles from N'enana
on the Fairbanks-N'er.ana line of the
Government railroad, had driven the
last pile of the ten-spar, trestle
which will carry the track across
Little Goldstream.
Bridge Inspector Leon P. Shoe
maker arrived in town last night
from Camp 53. having left the crew
to break camp and follow with the
remaining stores and camp equip
ment. They will probably reach'the j
Nenana end of the right of way to
night ar.d go into camp there pend
ing the opening of the river when
they will be able to make a crossing
The Commission officials had plan
ned on using the crew of Camp 51 ■
to drive the necessary piling for a
dock which was to have been built ]
on the farther side of the ri^er to
facilitate the handling of freight
destined for Fairbanks and up river
points, but this work will be tem
porarily held up until after Mr.
Browne gets here and has had a
chance to look things over. In the
meantime employment will probablv
be found for the crew elsewhere
on the division.
