CENTRAL
WAR TAX PROBLEM
'SATISFACTORILY SOLVED
The management of the Coliseum
has hit upon a plan by which it is
thought the war tax question will
be settled to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
The government states plainly
that the war tax must be paid by the
persons paying for such admissions
to theaters, etc. To enable the pub
lic to do this without annoyance,
the management of the Coliseum
will use bingles. There will be two
kinds. For a twenty-five cent show
there will be a three cent bingle and
for a fifty cent show the bingles
■will have a face value of five cents.
Until other arrangements can be
made, all bingles are to be pur
chased at the box office window
and must be turned in to the cashier
before an admission ticket will be
issued. Any amount of bingles
may be purchased at any one time..
This plan was adopted by the man
agement solely for the reason that
it is a simple way out of the difficul
ty. The bingles no doubt will be
found a little inconvenient by pat
rons of the theater for a time, but
there appeared to be no other solu
tion. It is understood that Dick
Thorne will adopt the same plan in
the near future, but for the present
he will use tickets
It is hoped that everyone will re
alize that the tax is for a worthy
cause. Paying war tax is doing
your bit to help your country
finance this great struggle and
hasten the return of peace.
The new tax becomes effective
on November first.

Mgr. Coliseum
MRS. GRANT CROSSAN AND
TOM McCROSKEY MARRIED
Mrs. Grant Crossan and Thomas
McCroskey, both oldtime residents
of the North, were married on Mon
day evening at the office of Commis
sioner Robert E. Burns, that official
performing the dual service of pro
viding the marriage licence and ty
ing the knot.
Mr. McCroskey has resided in al
most every camp in Interior Alaska
having come to Nenana during the
past summer, since which time he
has been in the employ of the gov
ernment. Mrs. McCroskey came
North to Dawson in the early days
and after a residence of several
years on the Canadian side of the
boundary she moved to Fairbanks.
The newly-weds have taken the
Koland house on Third street.

COMMISSION WORKERS
SWELL BOND SALES
Special Disbursing Officer G. F.
Cramer, who is representing the
government in the sale of Liberty
Loan bonds, reports that the citi
zens of Nenana have responded to
the national appeal for financial aid
in a way that reflects much credit
on the community. The bond
sales total $40,450, the amount hav
ing been subscribed by 150 individ
uals. The largest single subscrip
tion received by Mr. Cramer was
the lump sum of $9,000.
The Commission celebrated a half
holiday on Liberty Day. On that
afternoon Mr. Cramer, J. Casson
Williams and others of the Commis
sion force disposed of bonds valued
at $9,150.00 and, in addition to that
splendid work, life memberships in
the American Red Cross were sold
to the following well known citi
zens of Nenana: Con Beggs.S. J.
Cruikshank, Alek Coveney, C. W.

IS VERY ATTRACTIVE PLACE
Extensive improvements have been
in progress at the Cooney hotel.
The new lobby that has been under
course of construction for the past
few weeks has been completed and
an additional display room for the
stock of groceries and merchandise
has been added, making that hostel
ry most attractive. And a new
heating plant makes it a very com
fortable place of abode.
HORSES SENT HOME
Fifty-one horses belonging to. the
Northern Commercial company, were
sent back to Fairbanks during the
week by Master of Transportation
W. B. Raeburn, who had the stock

connection with the railroad work.
The horses were ferried across the
river by the launch Galatea and sent
to the upper town by way of the
Goldstream trail.
JACK WALLACE TAKES
CHARGE OF ROADHOUSE
Jack Wallace, whose long ex

of the Wood river roadhouse for the
winter and promises to have the
glad hand extended to all travelers
making the trip between Nenana
and Fairbanks by way of the river
trail.
The Wood river roadhouse is one
of the best establishments of the
kind in Interior Alaska and has a
well deserved reputation for comfort
and good service. And it will be
the endeavor of the new manager
to add, if possible, to the attract
iveness of the stopping place, which
is sixteen miles from Nenana.
