along that line are recorded on the
film.

RIGGS BELIEVES NENANA
HAS SOLID FUTURE
In a talk made before the members
of the Nenana Commercial club, at
the meeting held last Sunday after
noon, Commissioner Thos. Riggs, Jr
spoke more encouragingly of the
future of Nenana than on any pre
; vious occasion. It has been the pol
! icy of Mr. Riggs to talk conservat
! ively, and he did not depart from
that rule on Sunday; but the gener
al tenor of his remarks indicated
that he believed firmly in the future
of the town.
i In Speaking of his recent trip tc
the coast, Mr. Riggs said that h<_
had talked with Col. Stevenson, who
has a chain of banks on the Alaska
coast and was informed by the bank
| el tint he probably would establish
a bank at Nenana in the spring, if
there should be no delay on the part
of congress, in making the next ap
propriation.
j Regarding the work of construc
tion, Mr. Riggs declared that there
would be no suspension of opera
tions so long as funds continued
available to carry on the work.
The members of the club were
advised to act cautiously in any ad
vertising campaign that might be in
augurated. He pointed to the evil
effects of over-advertising, as illus
trated by conditions at Anchorage,
and declared that it would be ex
tremely unwise for the people of
I Nenana to start a rush of people in
this direction at this time.
In connection with the phamplet
which the club has decided to issue,
it was agreed to solicit advertising,
as a means of helping to defray the
j cost of publishing the book, and a
| committee is now engaged in this
work.
The club will meet weekly here
after, the first of the weekly gath
erings having been called for Sun
' day afternoon, at 3, at the office of
Commissioner Burns,
i_
MOOSE MEET WEDNESDAY
! The regular weekly meeting of
; Nenana lodge, Loyal Order of Moose
; \v.,. be held on Wednesday evening,
in the Duke building. The meeting
I will be called to order at seven o
! clock.
A cordial welcome is extended to
; out-of-town members of the organ
' ization.

building outfit which has been used
