NENANA CLOCKS
TURNED BACK TO
CORRECT TIME
Daylight Saving Law I* Put Into
Operation Earlie' Than Usual
This Season.
Taking time by the forelock, so
to speak, the clocks of the Alaskan
Engineering commission were turned
back one hour at the stroke of mid
night September 30th, and the first
day of the new month was ushered
in at the old schedule of time in
force before the time was advanced
one hour in conformity with the
Daylight Saving bill.
The bill was passed by the Senate
some time during March, this year,
final action was taken by the lower
house of Congress on March 16th,
| on which date it was sent to the
White House for the president’s sig
nature.
The measure provided for the ad
vancement of the time of the coun
try one hour on the last Sunday
i in March each year. On the last
: Sunday in October the clocks are
i turned back to the correct time,
where they remain until the follow
| ing March.
In an Associated Press despatch,
j dated at Washington, D. C., March
130, 1918, received and published on
j the same date by the Nenana News,
| the statement was made that the
i Daylight Saving bill became effective
in the nation's capital at two o’clock
in the morning on that date, at
I which time the clocks of the nation
! were supposed to be turned ahead
j one hour.
! The time was retarded one hour
j by the Alaskan Engineering com
! mission a month earlier than re
quired by the provisions of the bill
on advice being received from Fair
banks that they had already done
so. The townspeople followed suit
It was not generally known this
morning that the clocks had been
j set back and several people “turned
j to” for the day’s work an hour ear
lier. It is certain that the Com
mission whistle will sufficiently in
j form the people of the change.
The local Signal Corps detachment
were the first to receive direct in
structions regarding the advancing
of the time and they ■will await in
structions regarding the setting back
of the hour, and until such time as
instructions have been received will
work on the old schedule in force
since the time was advanced one
hour in March. Telegraphic mess
ages will be received and forwarded
in accordance with this time, which
is in force in the States.
|library"books
! DUE HERE BOON
On one of the last boats of the
season there will be 150 to 175 new
books for the library. About 20 of
these are war books; the balance
are works of fiction published with
in the last year. ,
At the time of ordering there
was but $57 available, which amount
was forwarded to the dealers, Low
man & Hanford. It is not known
yet exactly what the amount due
will be, but it will be between $150
and $175.
To meet this amount bingles will
be sold at five cents each, and a
bingle collected for each book is
sued to holders of cards. This will
be applied to the new books only.
As soon as the indebtedness is
covered the bingles will be discon
tinued and the books will be free
! as heretofore.
[ It is estimated that they will be
! paid for in this way in from four
| to six months; and the money re
j quired to pay Lowman & Hanford
j will be advanced by a few who have
, the interests of the library at heart.
| They will be reimbursed out of
j the funds provided by the sale of
| bingles. ,
! It is expected that the books will
| be on the shelves for issue some
1 time near the end of October.
CANNERY OUTPUT
FOR THE SEASON
NO! VERY BIG
—
Carlisle Packing Co. Expect to Do ■
Better Next Season; Cannery
to Be Moved.
W. A. Wadham, of the Carlisle
Packing company was in Nenana re
cently on his way to Fairbanks and
the Outside. He may take the stage
over the Valdez trail after conclud
ing the business that takes him to
the upper town or i fhe can get
through in time he will take the
last boat out.
In speaking of the company’s]
operations on the lower Yukon dur- ]
ing the summer season, Mr. Wad- ]
hams said that the total output of'
the cannery was 13,000 cases only,]
which was far short of their ex
pectations. The company looks upon
the work done this season as so ]
much prospecting, and they hope to ;
profit by the information obtained
during the season’s operations and
do a great deal better next summer. '
The floating cannery which they!
operated at Andreafsky, has a capa- j
city of 100,000 cases, and the com-;
pany expects to be able to move it
to the south mouth of the Yukon j
I river for next year’s operations.;
j They also used the old N. A. T. Co.’s
| machine shop building and equipped
j it fully to do all the repair work
necessary, and Mr. Wadhams thinks
that a temporary machine shop will
be erected next season close to the
cannery at the southern mouth of
the \ukon; this will also be built
on a scow so that it could be moved
away to a place of safety for the
winter and until after the breakup.
A large section of the country
adjacent to the mouth of the Yukon
river is said to be affected by the
j action of a tidal wave coming up
! from Bering Sea, and boats and
barges operating at the mouth of
the river and its neighborhood have
to be taken some distance upstream
to winter quarters. Mr. AVadhams
| thinks that his company will use the
Andreafsky river to winter their
floating equipment.
The company intends to improve
and enlarge their plant before com
i mencing operations next year, and
I will probably employ a larger force
] for the season. They have gained
much valuable information as re
gards the run of the fish and gen
eral fishing conditions and will ar
range their plans accordingly. They
■ expect an output more nearly up to
! the capacity of their floating can
| nery than that of the season just
] passed.

SPECIAL FEATURE
IS SHOW TONIGHT
For the special enjoyment of the
draftees who are to leave Nenana
for their training camp tomorrow,
and who will be the guests of the
local branch of the Red Cross to
night, the management of the Coli
seum will present tonight, for the
first time in Nenana, America’s most
popular movie actor, Doug Fair
banks in his initial Artcraft picture,
produced by his own company, “In
Again—Out Again.”
A typical Fairbanks picture, “In
Again—Out Again” presents smiling
Doug at his best in a subject of
rapid fire theme and hundreds of
hearty laughs. The star is sup
ported by Arline Pretty, Helen
Greene, Homer Hunt, Walter Walk
er, Albert Parker, “Bull” Montana
and othere of similar popularity.
“In Again—Out Again” presents
a satire on New York and peaceful
New Jersey and discloses incidents
that are of the typical Fairbanks
variety, offering on the whole a
quick-action comedy of red-blooded
American theme and unusual sur
prises. This production carries fur
ther than ever before the wonder
fully successful Fairbanks message
of smile and be happy. It is a
photoplay that does not play to
giggles, but to hearty laughs and
never for a minute does it allow
one’s interest to lapse.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
picture has cost the management
considerably m\e than the average
feature, the price of admission will
be only fifty cents, with a quarter
extra for reserved seats. The show
will start at eight o’clock. The pic
ture will be repeated at a later
date.
