BIG MOOSE SPECIAL
TO BRING VISITORS
New Year's will be a gala day in
Nenana. and New Year’s eve will
be the big night of the 1919-20
social season, as a result of the en
terprise of the local lodge of Moose,
through which organization arrange
jment* have been made with the
j Alaskan Engineering commission for
{a special train to come down from
(Fairbanks on the afternoon of De
Icember 31 and return the following
j night. That- a large number of
(residents of the upper town will
j avail themselves of the opportunity
|to spend a night and a day in Ne
jnana, at a time when business gen
jerally is suspended, ^ goes without
'saying. Scores of Fairbanksans
,have expressed a desire to make the
(trip over the new Government rail
jroad. provided the journey down
and back could be made without
consuming too much time, and the
Moose special will afford the desired
j opportunity.
The question of runni ;g a spe
cial was taken up with Engineer in
Charge Fred’k D. Browne yester
day afternoon by Alf Ekeland, of
the Portland, one of the mainstays
of the Xenana lodge of Moose, and
the arrangements made are regard
ed as most satisfactory. A one
way rate for the round trip on the
!
| special will be charged the excur
sionists, and the Commission must
;be guaranteed that at least fifty will
!make the trip, to insure the cost of
j operating the train.
This detail has already been at
tended to, and Xenanaites are now
busy devising means of entertaining
the visitors during their brief stay
here. The Moose will take care of
the visitors on the night of their
arrival, a masquerade ball already
having been arranged for that date,
but they are leaving the entertain
ment features of the following day
to the town generally.

boy. who gave up his job with th

‘services to Uncle Sam two year
ago. and wno entered the emplo
• of the Skinner & Eddy company, i:
Seattle, after his discharge fror
:the army, is now in the movini
ipicture game in Southern California
w-here he is employed to eliminat
jthe grotesque and inaccurate scene
ifrom Northern scenes. And what i
vastly more important to Allan, h
is now* u benedict, having recent!;
married a charming Sacrament'
miss.
Grennan’s picture, in uniform, am
that of his pretty wife, appeare
recently in the Los Angeles Herald
accompanied by the following:
“At first civilization had to ex
plain itself to Allan E. Grenna:
of Alaska, who. until he arrived ii
San Francisco, had never seen
street ear, a palm tree or a cemen
sidewalk, having grown to hard;
manhood in Uncle Sam’s great Arc
tic territory.
“N'ow Grennan is in Los Angele
explaining Alaska to certain filn
play producers for the sake of veri
ty in productions with Alaskan set
tings, and, incidentally, is enjoyin;
a honeymoon at nearby beaches.
“It is Grennan’s duty to see tha
dog teams are harnessed correct!:
and to detect glaring errors in set
tings designed to portray Alaska!
conditions. ,
“Grennan was bom in Oakland
Cal., in 1897. A year later hi
parents took him with them t(
Alaska and he grew up in the Yu
kon Territory.
“In July, 1917, Grennan enlisted
in the First battalion of the 14th
infantry, known as 'The Alaska Hus
. ;kies." He arrived in San FTancisco
with his battalion on an army trans
[port in September, 1918. and it was
there he saw many conveniences of
civilization for the first time,
i "He met Miss Jessie E. Rhine
, lander of Sacramento. It was then,
according to rumor, that he decided
, not to return to Alaska. They were
married November 5.”
Grennan came to Nenana from
Dawson, where he resided for a
' number of years. He worked for
’ the Commission for some time, a=
"jsisted in the publication of The ^>e
nana Daily News for several month?,
and finally joined the Abbey survey
party, with which outfit he remained
.
until the call of the war took him
to Gibbon.
