CHURCH COUNCIL
MEI LAST NlUHI
Last night at a quarter to ten,
immediately after Dr. Diven was,
through with the session of Night'
School, the three official boards of
Grace church,—elders, deacons and
trustees—assembled round two large
tables in the chapel and were duly ]
constituted as the Church Council. '
At one table sat Dr. Diven, who
is the Council’s presiding officer,
and at his right sat the three elders,'
J. A. Slippern, Dr. David More and
Kenneth Diven, arranged in order
of their respective term^ of service;
at the chairman’s left were the
three deacons, John H. Flower, Carl
chmidt and Alex Funk, seated in the
same order as the elders. At the
larger table, exactly in front of
the chairman, sat eight of the nine
trustees, with George Markus at
the head of the table and Erie
Brown, Oscar Rothenburg, H. B.
Joseph to the right and R. S. Mc
Donald, Dr. J. R. Bowen, F. D.
Browne and Alex Fowler to the left.
The unoccupied sat at the trustee’s
table being that of Mike Cooney,
he being out of the city. I
After the chairman had explained
in detail the purpose of the Council
and had outlined the duties of the
different boards, the following busi
ness was transacted, a keen and
thoruoghly businesslike interest be-'
ing manifest in the handling of each
detail:
Carl Schmidt was elected secre-:
tary of the Council for one year.
Erie Brown was designated
Church treasurer for one year. j
John II. Flower was elected chief
usher for one year.
.’ lex Funk was elected to repre
sent the church organization on the
( ity Board of Public Works and
Charities.
At this point in the proceedings
the Council Rave opportunity to the
board of trustees to affect a formal
organization, for the undertaking
and orderly handling of the import
ant bt - belonging specifically
to thnl board. George Markus was
elected chairman and Alex Fowler
secretary.
When the trustees had completed
their organization and the Council
was again ready to take up the
Work of the evening, Mrs. Given
and the daughter of the manse ap
peared with some things that men
usually like to eat, and for a time
the fifteen men dropped business
arid took care of the asparagus
salad, creamed chicken on toast,
ice cream, cake and coffee.
The next item of business was
“The Budget for 1910.” After
careful analysis and considerable dis
cussion by the Council, the budget
was taken in hand by the board
ot trustees, who, with genuine busi
ness acumen, took immediate steps
to make provision for its various
items. F. D. Browne was elected
chairman of the trustees canvassing
committee and a subscription list
with the following heading was pre
pared, ready for presentation to the
community in the very near future:
“We, the undersigned, recogniz
ing the church as an important
asset of our community, do hereby
subscribe the sums we have placed
opposite our names for the main
tenance and work of the church for
the year 1919. The pledges shall
be paid in the manner we have in
dividually designated, or in any
other manner that may later seem
more convenient to the subscriber.
It is understood and agreed, that
in case of business disaster such as
makes the payment of a pledge em
barrassing or impossible, or in event
of the death of the subscriber, no
such pledge shall become a claim
against subscriber or estate.”
There was some discussion of
things that will shortly need to be
done,” follower by a hearty vote
of thanks to Mrs. Diven for her
hospitality, then the Council ad
journed.
One of the largest brown bears
ever killed in Southeastern Alaska
was brought into Hoonah recently
by a native hunter, Charley Jim.
The bear was 12 feet and four
inches long and five feet and 3ix
inches high.

RUBY MERCHANT
LIKES NENANA
Ed Willis, who arrived here yes
terday afternoon, is visiting Nenana
for the first time in many years,
and stated this morning that he
was very much surprised to find
such a large town here. He is very
favorably impressed with the looks
of Nenana, which, he says, is so
utterly different from the usual
mining towns.
Mr. Willis, who has been in busi
ness at Long City, in the Ruby dis
trict, for the past four years, is
on his way Outside to replenish his
stock of goods and expects to re
turn on the first boat in the spring.
He will take the Broad Pass trail
provided he can get transportation
on the train for his horse- The
horse has been his faithful servant
and friend for many years, and Mr.
Willis is taking him Outside and
will place him in a pasture for the
rest of his life.
The Ruby district has suffered
from a shortage of labor, due to
many going Outside, and the high
cost of materials and supplies, Mr.
Willis said, and he thinks that next
summer conditions will improve
wonderfully and Ruby will again
be booming.
A Koland stage pulled in to
Nenana quite unexpectedly last
night, having made the entire dis
tance in a single day. It brought
the mail and a little freight, but
had no passengers.
Horses have been stationed at
the Ohio roadhouse, and Koland
announces that his stages will make
the journey to Fairbanks in one
:lay, the same time being consumed
in the return trip. A stop will
he made at the Ohio roadhouse for
lunch and a change of horses.
The Koland stage will leave the
Portland at six o’clock tomorrow
morning sharp, for Fairbanks. Any
freight or passenger reservations
may be made at the Portland at
any time, night or day.

Observatory, Washington, D. C

ceived from you in response to the!

QUARANTINE STATION v ||
AT RAPIDS ROADHOUSE!
In view of the recent outbreak^
of influenza among the natives near
Gulkana and as an added precaution
against the spread of the disease, a
quarantine station has been estab
lished at the Rapids roadhouse, on
the Fairbanks-Valdez trail.
R. M. (Waterfront) Brown leaves
tomorow morning with Ed Bartlett’s
team to take charge of the station
and Dr.' Sutherland, the territorial i
health officer, will leave in his car '
on Sunday morning to complete all
arrangements.
Dr. Sutherland stated today that
the quarantine station at the Pile
driver roadhouse will also be con
tinued for the present, and when
circumstances warrant such a course
one of the stations on the trail will
be discontinued.
Recent reports state that there
have been three of four deaths
among the natives, who have been
isolated.
After some study of the situation,
the school authorities in Juneau de
cided to not open a night school
at the present time. Some twenty
five ambitious foreigners had en
rolled in the schools, but ,the ex
pense was believed to be too great
to take bp the session at the present
time.
