MEN ARE NAMED
TO MAKE PLANS
FOR THE FOURTH
I Commercial Club Takes Definite
Action to Observe Big Day In
Manner Appropriate
Definite action was taken yester
day afternoon by the N'enana Com
mercial club to celebrate the Fourth
of July in Xenana—to celebrate the
day in such a manner that visitors
will be attracted from all points
along the Tanana river. It is the
; intention of the club to make it the
i biggest event in the history of the
| town, and the committee has been
| instructed to proceed with that end
I in view.
The men who will have the cele
bration in charge are all live ones,
with original ideas and the necessary
aggressiveness to make a success of
the celebration- And they give the
assurance that they will arrange a
program which will well repay the
many visitors who will be attracted
to Nenana for the celebration.
A considerable number of people
, can be expected from Fairbanks this
Fourth, and an effort will be made
,to arrange an excursion for their ac
commodatiorv and for the creek
people of the upper camp, many of
whom are anxious to have a look
at the railroad town.
There will be speed boat contests,
a baseball game or two, all softs
of field sports, aquatic events, horse
racing and possibly an automobile
race. These and other events will
make up a program of unusual at
tractiveness and the town can safely
j count on a large number of visitors.
The members of the committee
who will have the celebration in
charge are: Dr. J. R. Bowen, Her
man Anderson, M. J. Cooney, Geo.
Martin, and R. S. McDonald.

with him.

MIDNIGHT SUN TO
BE CELEBRATED
The Xenana club has planned a
dance to be given the night of June
21st, in celebration of the Midnight
Sun.
The affair will be for members
and their lady friends, in order that
they may fittingly remember this
particular date which so strikingly
marks the passing of the seasons in
the Xorthland.
Owing to the many changes taking
place, due to the draft and the
opening of the navigation season,
with a number of members going to,
the States, the management of the
club is being reorganized; and this
i entertainment will be given under 1
i the new management, which it is
hoped will make the entertainmnts
of the club even better liked than
heretofore.
j Resident Engineer Kenneth Case;
and his assistant Ralph Darling, came !
to town on a short business visit on
Saturday. They will leave to join
the survey party starting from a
I point near 35-mile, in a day or two.

(MEETING
Largely Attended Meeting of Prop
erty Owners Is Held At Labor
Union Hall.
Property owners of Nenana, to
the number of about seventy, which
; included six of the fair sex, held a
meeting at Labor Union Hall yester
day, pursuant to a call which ap
peared in the News on Saturday,
for the purpose of discussing the
i conduct of the city affairs by the
mangement of the townsite, and the
question of taxes, flood and fire pro
tection, etc.
The meeting was called to order
at 4:30 p. m., with J. Hampton Miles
acting as chairman and W. Law
, rence as secretary pro tern.
On motion of J. H. Flower, Mr.
Miles was elected permanent chair
man and on the motion of E. L.
Laughlin, Mr. Flower was elected
permanent secretary.
Geo. Noeller was the first speaker.
He told briefly of the damage he
had sustained through what he
termed preventable causes, during
the recent floods and strongly urged
the necessity for asking the proper
authorities to erect proper flood
gates at the highest point in the big
ditch on the eastern outskirts of the
town, which in his opinion would,
prevent much damage in future
E. L. Laughlin spoke at some
length of the apparent indifference
of the townsite management to the
needs of the tax payers and the
very unsatisfactory treatment ac
corded property owners as a return,
even in a small measure, for the
big taxes demanded. He declared
that he was voicing the sentiments
of the majority of the property own
ers when he said that unless some
concrete evidence of the good in
tentions of the townsite manage
ment is shown soon, it would result
in the abandonment, by these prop
erty owners, of their holdings in Ne
nana. He moved that a committee
of three be elected to draft a resolu
tion setting forth the grievances of
the property owners of Nenana and
asking for, either a change in the
management of the Nenana Town
site or a change in the methods
adopted by the present townsite
manager. The motion was duly
seconded and carried.
Andy Logstrup told of how he
had been called upon to pay taxes
for sidewalks and improvements en
joyed by others, while unable to
secure any benefits in the part of
the town where his property is situ
ated; and for fire protection, which
he did not have at any time. He
referred humorously to the city
dump near his property, where, it
is reported, certain of the city’s
garbage is used to fill in a slough,
and said he was thankful, in a way,
to the floods for scattering the col
lection of evil smelling cans and
making a more equal distribution
of odors.
He also told of the scant attention
paid his several' complaints regarding
taxes and other matters by the town
site manager and of the unsatis
factory interview he had had with
Mr. Ryus.
Mrs. Oscar Rothenburg stated that
the garden which she, with the help
of her husband and aged mother,
had twice planted, had been entirely
ruined by the floods which, she said,
would not have reached the garden
if proper preventive measures had
been taken, and told how she and
others had been willing to undertake
the work necessary to drain a low
lying portion of the town, but that
they were not allowed to do this
by the townsite manager, after hav
ing been previously informed that
the townsite management had no
funds to do the work.
Mrs. Heimburger spoke of the in
adequate fire protection given the
residents; Henry Baatz endorsed the
remarks of the previous speakers
regarding excessive taxation with no
apparent return for same, and Mrs.
Adams urged the necessity for tak
ing some action to have the many
dogs now allowed to run loose in
town, chained up or otherwise taken
care of. Joe Van Orsdel said the
town regulation prohibiting hotels
from maintaining dog kennels was

greatly resented by the people of
out-lying districts.
After the views of the few others
had been voiced, the chairman sum
med up the situation in a scathing
arraignment of the apparent apathy
and inefficiency of the townsite
management and the poor returns
obtained for the taxes levied on the
property owners, and called for
nominations for the purpose of
electing three representative prop
erty owners in terms of the motion
introduced by E. L. Laughlin.
Messrs Cooney, Miles, Laughlin,
Smith, Burrows, Roberts and Van
Orsdel were nominate, and as a re
sult of a vote taken, J. H. Miles,
E. L. Laughlin and Tom Smith were
elected a committee to draw up a
resolution, which will be read to
the property owners at a meeting
to be called by the committee as
,soon as the resolution has been
drawn up is ready to be forwarded
to the proper authorities.
Just before the meeting was ad
journed, G. W. Pennington addressed
the gathering, but before doing so
he asked the fire chief, who happen
ed to be present, a few questions
regarding the fire fighting appliances
in the possession of the townsite
authorities. He said that the Com
mercial club had taken up the matter
of adequate fire protection, as well
as other matters pertaining to the
betterment of conditions in Xenana,
but had not met with much success
thus far. The townsite manager, he
said, did not appear to have any
vested authority to act in many mat
ters pertaining to the welfare of the
j town and its people, and he caution
! ed the committee elected to draft
the resolution, against any hasty ac
. tion. He said he had no doubt mis
i
takes had been made by the town
i site management in conducting the
affairs of the city, but emphasized
t the fact that there were always two
sides to a question and recommended
1 a close and impartial scrutiny of
the facts before any action is taken. ^
The Commercial club, he said, was
considering the advisability of hav
i ing the town incorporated, if possible,
1 with a view to eliminating certain
of the unsatisfactory conditions
; complained of, and electing a civic
, body with power to enact such laws
and regulations as will conduce to
i the welfare of the town and com
' munity.
The meeting was adjourned lit 5
1 p. m., and as soon as the resolution
I committee is ready to report, an
i other meeting of property owners
i will be called. 7
