S1EEI GANG INI
GUT THIS MORN
10 END Of EiNE
The steel gang, under Foreman
T. K. Blakey, which had bees trans
ferred to town recently to lay steel
across the Tanana river and on the
Nenana-Fairbanks right of way,
having completed the work assigned
to them, left this morning with their
entire camp outfit, for the end of
steel south of town.
The gang has been strengthend
by the addition of several men, and
on arrival at the front will imme
diately resume the extension of the
road toward Lignite.
At the usual mid-weekly dancing;
classes held by Mrs. Campbell at
the Union Hail last night, there
was more than the usual number
of attendants and pupils. Many of
the fair sex who had not been there
before, graced the hall with their
presence and helped to impart the
needed confidence and poise to
those who wrere not able to “navi
gate” the mazes of the different
dances quite as well as they would
like to.
Later in the evening, all of the
membes of the Friday Eridge club,
who held their meeting at the Foster
home, raided the hall ‘en masse’
and contributed very materially to
the fur. of the night.
In honor of the arrival of the
Eridge club, the dance was extended
for an hour longer than the usual
closing time of the dancing acad
emy. There were about forty
couples on the floor, and the dance
was votod a great success by all
who ; icipated.
The next meeting of the danc
ing academy will be held on Tues
day night, March 4, after the
show. Eeginners are requested
to come to the hall about half an
hour ear’ier, when instruction will
be imparted.
Have a s'«uny disposition. Don’t
care whether you give other people
freckles or not.

COMMERCE CLUB
WILL LOOK INTO
FUR_SITUATION
The regular weekly meeting of
the Xenana Commercial club was
called to order by Chairman R. S.
McDonald, at the club chambers, in
the Union Hall, shortly after eight
o’clock last night. There were
about 25 members of the organiza
tion present.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting had been read and con
firmed, Charles Bergman was pro
posed for membership in the club,
voted on and duly elected.
The secretary then submitted sev
eral bills against the club which
had ben duly examined and O. K.d
by the auditing committee, and
these were ordered paid.
The Roads, Publicty, Aid to Pros
pectors, Central Power Plant, and
Mines committees had nothing to re
port at the meeting;they are work
ing along the lines suggested and
hoped to be in a position to report
at the next meeting of the club.
The club’s respresentative of the
Board of Associated Charities re
ported that the board was planning
to go at the work systematically,
but that arrangements have not yet
been completed for the undertaking
of a campaign to raise funds. The
board expected to hold a meeting
early next week.
Ihe Excursion committee re
ported that everythin? was in readi
ness for the trip to the end of
steel, and that the train bearing
the excursionists will leave the foot
of A street at ten o'clock tonight.
Several ladies had spoken of going
but so far, nothing definite is known
as to whether or not they will go.
The committee had the names of 27
people who signified their willing
ness to go and it was known that
there were several others also who
will make the journey.
The majority of those who will
go to the end of steel have ex
pressed a desire to go to the coal
fields near the end of steel, and
there were only a few who would
make the trip to the Eva creek
quartz mines. Several of the mem
bers present at the meeting signi
fied their intention of going to
Eva creek, and the committee
thought that several others could
be talked into going to the mines
after the train gets under way.
The chairman and several mem
bers of the club reported that they
had made inquiries regarding weath
er conditions in the country con
tiguous to the camp at the Crossing
and the mines and all accounts
agreed that the weather was ideal;
there being absolutely no wind.
A desultory discussion was then
entered into regarding the amount
of fur passing through N'enana dur
ing the trapping season, and the
chairman stated that he was in
formed by a Fairbanks businessman
who was visiting Nenana that he
saw more fur here than in Fair
banks for the short time he was
in town. The chairman thought
that the formation of a fur center,
where the trappers and buyers could
get together and where also, per
haps, the fur could be graded and
placed on display would be a valu
able asset to the town. Nenana
was centrally located and would
be undoubtedly the best place for
a fur market. The subject would
appear to be one in which nearly
every member present was more or
less conversant and much valuable
information regarding this very im
portant trade was gleaned, during
its discussion.
On a motion by one of the mem
bers, which was duly seconded and
carried, a committee composed of
Messrs Wr. Coutts, Carl Schmidt,
Herman Anderson, William Taylor,
and A. G. Johnson was appointed
to look into the matter thoroughly
and report at the next club meeting.
It is the intention of the Com
mercial club to assume the expense
of renting a centrally located room
or other place where the furs
brounght in by trappers may be
placed on display and where fur
buyers can be invited tc inspect
same and make pc -chases. This
arrangement would serve as a

starter toward the development of'
this important industry and be per
haps the beginning of a big fur
center for the Tanana valley.
After the report of the committee
entrusted w ith the task of ascer- ^
taining all about the fur trade and
its possibilities insofar as this dis
trict is concerned, the fact that a
fur center has been established here
will be widely advertised. ,
