'force is reduced.
BUT WORK GOES ON
! Although there has been consider
: able reduction during the past month
in the number of men employed by
the Alaskan Engineering commission
in this division, owing to unfavorable
! weather conditions, the work of
: building the railroad south of Ne
i nana is progressing steadily, and
; every day brings the end of steel
closer to the coal fields. The week
ly force report shows 623 employees
on the payrolls at present, as against
S00 a month ago.
The steel gang is operating daily
now and the br’dge builders and
piledriver crew are making good
progress with their work. Camp 10
is moving up to the end of steel, at
Twenty-mile, where there is some
construction in progress
TELEPHONE BUILDING
WILL BE READY SOON
The work of installing equipment
and getting the new telephone build
ing ready for occupancy is proceed
ing rapidly, according to Mangaer
B. E. Holifield, head of the elec- j
trical department of th Alaskan
Engineering commission. The cen-1
tral office probably will be moved
from its present quarters during
the coming week, by which time it
is believed, connections will have
been made with phones on the Com
mission reserve.
The installation of town phones
will depend upon weather conditions.
Should the weather continue mild
the system will be extended as rap
idly as the work can be done, in
which event Nenana will soon have
a telephone service second to none
in the territory.
The rates which have been an
nounced by the Commission will be
$10 for business phones and $4 for
residence phones.
NATIVES CONTRIBUTE
FUNDS FOR RED CROSS
The natives of the village above
Nenana have demonstrated their pat
riotism by subscribing liberally to
the Red Cross fund, their interest
in the Christmas drive having swell
ed the fund by approximately $60.
A Christmas offering, taken up dur
ing the exercises at St. Marks mis
sion, amounted to nearly $20 and
the balance of the total subscribed
was obtained at an entertainment
held after Christmas.
FIVE-PART TRIANGLE
FOR SUNDAY FEATUREj
--
Bessie Barriscale will make her \
appearance at the Coliseum tomor- j
row night in the pleasing role of a j
good wife, taking the part of Mrs. j
Mallery in “Honor’s Altar,” a Thos.
H. Ince (Triangle) production in
five parts. The story is cleverly
written and the many tense situa-'
tions give Miss Barriscale oppor
tunity to display her rare talent.
She is supported by Walter Ed
wards and an All-Star cast.
Mrs. Mallary is the wife of a
man who has risen from poverty
to wealth and who, after having I
gained his position of power, decides ;
that his wife is not sufficiently j
brilliant to occupy the station he j
has provided for her. He bribes i
an acquaintance to make love to I
the wife, in the hope of securing I
his release from her. She, iiowever,
resents the attentions forced upon
her, and convinces her would-be
wooer that her love for her hus
band is supreme.
The manner in which the unap
preciative husband is brought to his
knees furnishes a happy conclusion
to the story.
Admission to the show will be
fifty cents for general admission
and six bits for reserved seats. The
show will start at 8:30 o’clock.
E. W. Miller was arrested at Chat-!
anika yesterday on the charge of
vagrancy.

BIG TIME AT BARN DANCE
The Barn dance held at Labor
Union hall on New Year’s Eve was
one of the jolliest and most enjoy
| able times ever held in Nenana.
j Overalls and gingham aprons pre
| dominated, while the walls, hung
[with harness and various agricultural
j implements, and the rustic orchestra,
I enthroned on several bales er the
[best timothy in the center of the
hay-strewn floor, all bespoke the fact
that it was a “Pumpkin Cent *r" cel
ebration. and nothing else.
Bill Landwehr, in the role of
“Jedge Soakum,” assisted oy 'i \vn
Constable E. R. McGregor Wel'i • r,
[ ably caried out his part, imposing
fines on any and all of the dancers
| who disobeyed his mandates by wear
, ing ties or collars or uniforms de
tracting in any way from the pre
vailing “hick” costumes. Bill fined
some for coming to the dance and
some for staying away, occasionally
taking down his sign and announcing
that “court was closed, as the jedge
was going fishing.” Earl Welliver
proved a very efficient constable,
and dragged numerous culprits to
the bar of justice, maintaining law
and order by his strong right arm.
Mr. Welliver’s previous military
training in the Hudson Bays (Ne
nana Light Cavalry) stood him in
good stead, as several attempts were
made to “mob the cop” by con
scientious objectors to the “fine
system”.
All moneys received from fines
were turned into the Red Cross fund
as was the money thrown at Bill
Bitoff during his exhibition of Rus
sian Folk dances. More than $50
was realized for the Red Cross in
this manner.
The prizes offered by the com
mittee for best sustained characters
were won by Mrs. R. G. Southworth
and Doc Ehland.
NOTICE.
There will be the regular meeting
of the Commercial club at the com
missioner’s office tomorrow after
noon at 3 o’clock.

Secretary.
RED CROSS MUSICAL

formance which failed to put in an
appearance. However, there were
sufficient numbers to fill in. Mr.
Grady Summerlin and Mr. Geo. W.
Pennington delighted those present
with several humorous and im
promptu sketches and short recita
tions. Much enthusiasm was shown
for the work of the male quintette,
after only three rehearsals, proved
the possibilities of Nenana’s talent.
Mr. Berggren’s violin renditions,
with Mr. Sellender’s guitar accom
paniment, were greatly appreciated,
