should enjoy an increased pop
ularity with the added attrac
tion of offering a most refresh
ing retreat from the hot and
sultry evenings.
The capacity of the fan is
sufficient to competely change
the air in the theater once in
every two and one half minutes,
assuring a plentiful supply of
clean, fresh air at all times.
The installation of the new
ventilating system is sure to he
of especial interest to the pa
trons of the popular social
dances held by the Coliseum
management. By a very simple
by-pass arrangement it will be
possible to warm the fresh air
in the winter time, and by so
doing there is every reason to
believe that patrons will find
in the Coliseum as ideal a place
to keep warm in the cold
weather as it now Is to keep
cool in the hot.

II. 15. Joseph, who is in
charge of tin* details of the es
tablishing of the Nenana librur
stat(‘il in an interview daring
the week that the bulk of the
shipment of books ordered on
the Outside should reach Xe
nana the first part of August,
ami that the library will he
open to tin* public in ample
time to accommodate reader
lovers of Xenana and vicinity
this fall and winter.
The committee, .Mr. Joseph
states, has ordered an Ency
clopedia llritannica and a set
of the new edition India paper
Century dictionary, which as
sures a most complete refer
ence library. A selection of
104 volumes of the Every
man's library, composed of the
most celebrated of the classics
iu prose and verse, will amply
meet the demand for literature
of that nature, and the call
for lighter reading will be tak
en care of by a list of KiO
volumes of fiction published
during Ihe last six months.
The list of books also includes
the Van Orsdel library, which
has been purchased by the
Library association
A location for the library
has not as yet been decided
upon but it is expected that
a home will be provided by I
the time the shipment of new
books arrives.
XEW FXIOX MEETS;
ADDS MOKE MEMI1EKS
The Xenana Labor union,
the new organization which1
was started a short time ago
by employees of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, held
a largely atttended, meeting at
the Martin-M’M illan building
on Thursday night and added
a considerable number of new
names to the membership roll.
J let ween SO and 00. all of them
employees of the commission,
joined, swelling the member-!
ship to approximately 250.
Chairman O'Xeill presided at
the meeting and the volume of
routine business which came up
for consideration’ was disposed
of in a manner reflecting cred
it on the officers of the union.
Robert Eames acted as secre
tary.
It was decided upon a motion
of the members, to charge a
membership fee of $1 and the
dues were fixed at fifty cents
per-month, an ajuount deemed
sufficient to keep the organiza
tion well supplied with funds.
Acting on the suggestion of
several of the members, the
union voted to make applica
tion to tin* commission for tin*
privilege of purchasing sup
plies at the close of the work
mg season, sufficient for the
requirements of winter. A
committee was appointed to
interview Commissioner Riggs
regarding the action, but the
result of the interview has not
been made public.
(’. 1). Ross has accepted a
position with the Alaskan En
gineering commission and has
been assigned to the timekeep
ing department.
Dan McCabe, one of the
oldtimers of the Fairbanks dis
trict, is a recent arrival in Xe
nana and may decide to locate
in this vicinity. Dan was locat
ed on Vault creek during the
past several years.
