CHAIRMAN ANDERS REPORTS
PROGRESS ON FOURTH PLANS
Chairman J. L. Anders, of the
Celebration committee, is the busiest
man in town these days, getting
things in shape for Nenana’s big
jollification, which promises to sur
pass anything of the kind in the
history of the town. Definite an
nouncement regarding some of the
; big program features cannot be
made at this time, but the chairman
reports that things are shaping
satisfactorily and it is his opinion
that everything will work out as
originally planned. He is in com
munication now with the officers In
[charge at Fort Gibbon with a viet»
j to making certain of the arrival of
I the transport Jacobs here in time
for the celebration, with the Fort
baseball team.
The committee has under con
sideration today the question of in
viting Fairbanks to celebrate with
Nenana, the plan being to send an
excursion to Fairbanks for the Festi
val of the Midnight Sun, providing
Fairbanksans will return the com
pliment on the Fourth.
Full page posters setting forth the
attractions of the Nenana celebra
tions, have been sent to all towns
and settlements throughout the In
j terior, from Richardson to Gibbon,
■ on t)he Tanana river, and from Eagte
; to Iditarod, on the Yukon. All of
the camps along the railroad, from
(Fairbanks to Anchorage, were also
billed, and there is reason to be
lieve there will be a large number
of visitors in town for the celebra
tion.

JOLLY TIME IS IN PROSPECT
FOR DANCERS ON SATURDAY
A splendid time is in prospect for
the dancers of Nenana, the occasion
being the celebration of the Festival
of the Midnight Sun, which will
take place at Union hall on Satur
day night. Saturday was selected
for the reason that a dance on that
night will give opportunity for
greater enjoyment than one during
the week.
Special preparations are being
made to insure the success of the
dance and it is the hope of those
in charge that every dancer in the
community will be on hand.
Prof. Berggren will furnish the
music.
MEXICAN OFFICE WORKERS
MUST GIVE PLACES TO MEN
MEXICO CITY, June 16—Pretty
faced senoritas who have been em
ployed in government offices, prin
cipally because of the pleasant
smile they gave department heads,
are to be ousted from their present
positions and men are to take their
places, according to a recent offi
cial announcement. After President
Obregon’s recent order that every
cabinet officer must investigate the
worthiness of his employes, it was
discovered that hundreds of girls
were drawing federal pay with
duties that called for only occasional
work.
All such are to be discharged,
provision being made, however, that
they shall be retained if they are
assisting in the support of their
parents or other near relatives.
PRINTERS RETURN TO WORK
BOSTON, June 16—The news

ditions of work.
