COMMERCIAL CLUB
10 Mill IONIGHI
; A regular meeting of the Kenans
'Commercial club will be held to
night at the quarters of the organ
ization in the Union building.
! The meeting will be of more than
ordinary importance, for the reason
that matters of interest to the en- i
| tire community are to be taken up
for discussion and possible action at
this time, and it is the desire of the
officers that all members of the club
1 be on hand to voice their opinions.
The meeting will start at the usu
jal hour—eight o'clock.
A daughter was born at Fair
i banks last night to Mr. and Mrs.
P. S. Peterson. Mr. Peterson is a
; guard at the federal jail in Fair
: banks.
THOMAS TO PUT
WINTER IN WHO
DOGS ON TRAIT
Rev. W. A. Thomas, who arrived
jin Nenana several days ago from
the Arctic, where he was stationed
•
last winter, is now enroute to Fort
Yukon to take up the winter work
of Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, visit
ing the scattered Episcopal missions
throughout the Interior. The arch
deacon will spend the winter in the
States.
Mr. Thomas will remain at Fort
Yukon until after the freezeup,
when he will start for Circle, by
dog-sleigh. From Circle he will
cross over to the Chandlar, and
from there to the Koyukuk, return
ing to Fort Yukon by way of Gib
bon, a trip that will consume a
i considerable part of the winter.
> Mr. Thomas left Nenana over a
; year ago to take charge of the work
sat Point Hope, in which locality he
| was during the "flu” epidemic.
Which proved fatal to many of the
! natives. He acted as a health of
ficer while the disease was ram
I
pant, his district extending to the
northward along the coast to Point
Barrow. The establishment of a
strict quarantine and educational
work among the natives prevented
a spread of the epidemic and doubt
dess saved manv lives.
Mr. Thomas was formerlv sta
tioned at St. Mark's mission, in the
earlv davs of Xenana.
