10 LISI NAMES
El oms
—
i But one day remains for the reg-'
| istration of names of candidates
| for places on the school board. Ac
j cording to the official notice ap
. pearing elsewhere in this issue of
the News, the names of candidates
must be listed with the clerk of the
school board not later than March 22.
Thus far only three citizens have
j evidenced a willingness to accept
' the responsiblities of school board
work—just sufficient to fill the
vacancies for which the election
has been called. And it now looks
as though the three candidates would
be permitted to make the race un
opposed There is no talk of a rival
ticket and nothing to indicate that
even a single new name will be
listed.
Clerk John H. Scott, of the school
board, has informed the News that
the three candidates already entered,
are eminently satisfactory to the
members of the board who will con
tinue in office, and he is. confident
that they will prove satisfactory to
taxpayers and parents during the
coming year. But he regrets the
apparent lack of interest in school
affairs, as indicated by the failure
of additional candidates to make
their appearance- He and the other
members of the present board de
sire the public to know that there
is no limit to the number of candi
dates who may enter their names
with the clrek, providing they do
so before tomorrow' night. Any
citizen, man or woman, may be
come a candidate.
The three candidates whose names
have been listed with the cierk are
Geo. W. Pennington, present treas
urer of the board, whose term will
expire this month; Carl Schmidt,
who served a term as clerk on the
first board elected; and Robert
Joseph Diven, pastor of Grace
chur h.
, The retiring members, in addition
to Mr. Pennington, are Mrs. M. J.
Sweeney, who has served as presi
dent of the board since the organ
ization of the district, and Mrs
Jeannette Ellenson, assessor, who
left for the Outside several weeks
ago.
MATERIAL FROM
SUNKEN BARGE
IS RECOVERED
Word brought to town by a
musher arriving from Fairbanks, in
dicates that all of the railroad ma
terial, consisting mostly of rails,
spikes and bolts, which had been
sunk on a barge in tow of the
steamer Shusana late last summer,
has now been recovered and is
stacked upon the bank of the river,
awaiting a favorable opportunity
for shipment to a point near the
railroad. —
The material was being conveyed
on the barge in tow of the Shu
sana to Chena, where it was to have
been unloaded and taken by rail to
the Happy division of the railroad
for extension purposes. While op
posite “Eat-era-up” Frank’s place,
the barge, which had evidently
struck a submerged snag, filled and
sank, in fairly deep water.
The contract for salvaging the
contents of the barge was awarded
to Carl Crueger this winter. He
cut away the ice over and around
the barge and with the help of a
. horse and some block and tackle,
succeeded in taking out all the ma
terial. The barge itself is said to
be in bad shape and is probably
not worth saving.
The shipment consisted of 320
rails, 640 angle bars, 52 kegs of
spikes and bolts, and 25 wheel
barrows. ,
William Taylor, the well known
Kantishna mining man, arrived in
town from his camp yesterday. He
will probably remain in town for
some time.
KINA IK
Of YARN
The knitting campaign, for the
benefit of the American soldiers,
which has been in progress through
out the United States during the j
past year, has come to close in j
Nenana, the last of the sweaters and j
socks having been dispatched for
the Outside this week. The ship- j
ment included 47 sweaters, 55 pairs i
of socks, six hospital bags and seven
wash rags and also 74 men’s shirts,
these being part of a lot of gar
ments now in process of manufac
ture by the ladies of Nenana for
Belgian refugees.
The ladies who had knitted ar
ticles in this week’s shipment, and
the number of articles made bv!
each, are as follows:
l
One sweater each — Mesdmes
Cooney, Waechter, George Smith,
J. A. Dw-yer, Lavin, Jas. T. Oldfield,
Herman Anderson. A. Lamont, E.
I. Foster, M. V. Tyler. Ellenscn, Ike
P. Taylor, F. D. Browne, C. H.
Wilson, Misses E. McRae. Jane

post, direct to A. A. Hilton, Seattle,

division.
MOTHER ROTHENBURG
CHAMPION KNITTER
The patriotic ladies of Nenana
have again demonstrated the fact
that when it comes to a matter of
devoting time and attention to the
making of articles that would con
tribute to the comfort of the fight-1
ing men, they are second to none
in all the world.
Among the most ardent workers
in the good cause, and one who de
serves special mention is “Mother”
Rothenburg, mother of Oscar Roth
enburg of Nenana, whose contribu
tion to the knitted articles consisted
of no less than forty pairs of sox;
truly a remarkable aehievment for
a lady of her age.
“Mother” Rothenburg has seen
many summers and is long past the
allotted snan of three score and ten
vears. and most people at her ae»
would hardly think of doing any
work of any kind.
MAIL SCHEDULE V'AS
CHANGED YESTERDAY
According to advices received
from Fairbanks today, the new
schedule for the fnrwardir.g of mail

mails a week leaving Fairbanks

is confined to the manse, but hopes
to be able to resume her outdoor
activities in a few days.
M A. Schaeffer, chief timekeeper
of the A. E. C., who has been down
with a severe cold for the past few
days, has recovered sufficiently to
attend office this morning.
