RED CROSS BIRD
COMES TO TOWN
| ON SIR. ALASKA
Much Traveled Bi-d Comes to Stay
With Us and Help the Good
Cause Along.
The much talked of Red Cross
rooster, “Liberty," is here now, hav
ing arrived on the steamer Alaska
and will immediately enter on his
campaign of raising funds for the
Red Cross. He travelled in a
beautiful cage, which plainly shows
the mission he is on.
Commissioner McDonald took de
livery of “Liberty” and promptly
turned him over to the Red Cross
ladies, who immediately got busy in
making arrangements for his cam
paign.
“Liberty will be raffled and tick
ets at fifty cents each are now on
sale and it is hoped that loyal Ne
nanaites will see to it that “Liberty”
gets more money for the Red Cross
here than he has been able to get
in the other towns he has visited.
This noble bird was donated to
the cause by Mrs. Horner, of Horner
Hot Springs, near Ruby, and was
promptly raffled by Commissioner
DeVane, the winner returning him
to the cause.
He was raffled at Ruby, Poor
man, and Long and was then sent to
Commissioner Dehn, at Tanana, for
the same purpose. At the army
town “Liberty” brought in $121 and
now it is up to the good people
of Nenana to see that this amount
is exceeded.
Mrs. J. R. Bowen, chairman of
the local Red Cross, will make all
arrangements for the raffle, which
will be held in Nenana soon for
which tick|ts are now on sale, and
every patriotic citizen is invited to
participate and make the raffle a
great success.
During his wanderings in the
places mentioned “Liberty” has
earned for the Red Cross the total
sum of $350, and it is expected that
Nenana, the livest town in Interior
Alaska, will materially add to this
sum.
; From Nenana “Liberty” will go
to Fairbanks and thence to Juneau.
After touring Alaska, he is ex
pected to go to the States and
raise more money for the Red Cross.

QUIET WEDDING
UNITES POPULAR
NENANA COUPLE
Genial Townsite Accountant and
Principal of School United
In Marriage.
Last night, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Matt Sweeney in the pres
ence of a few friends only, Father
Monroe performed the ceremony
that made William H. Grigg, town
site acountant and Miss Helena
Kobe, principal of the Franklin K.
Lane school, man and wife.
The event was not altogehter un
expected, although the principals
evidently endeavored to keep it
closely guarded; and news of the
wedding soon leaked out, with the
result that friends were waiting to
congratulate the happy couple soon
after the ceremony had been per
formed.
The bride came to Nenana soon
after the founding of the town and
was chosen first principal of the new
Franklin K. Lane school, which po
sition she resigned at the end of the
term to become the wife of Mr.
Grigg.
Mr. Grigg also has been identified
with the town since its very early
days, having come from Anchorage
to assist in the management of the
townsite office.
The newly-weds will make their
home temporarily at the Ryus cot
tage, but within a short time they
will take up their residence in their
own home on B street, which was
recently purchased by Mr. Grigg.
NENANA STREETS
ARE NOW BEING
LEVELED OFF
Townsite Officials Are Having the
Streets Levelled Preparatory
to Grading.
Several teams are now at work,
under the supervision of Townsite
Manager Ryus doing the preliminary
work of levelling them by cutting
down the mounds and filling in the
hollows.
A commencement of this work
has been made on B street and all
of the other streets will be at
tended to in course of time. The
work now done is preparatory to
grading, and it is thought that con
tracts will be let for the work of
grading shortly.
It is not definitely known when
these grading contracts will be let,
but it is possible that the work will
be allotted in the near future and
that this will be followed by con
tracts for putting in the nec^sary
sidewalks.
FAREWELL ENTERTAINMENT
FOR DRAFTED BOYS
TOMORROW NIGHT
The entertainment got up by the
ladies of Nenana as a farewell affair
for the boys that wil go out on the
transport on the 29th to* Fort
Gibbon, will take place at 8:30 p. m.
tomorrow, at the Grace Presbyterian
church. It is to be an open affair
and the public is invited to attend.
A choice program of songs and
music has been arranged and light
refreshments will be served. It is
hoped that all the boys who will
go out with the draft will arrange
to be in attendance.
