OWNER OF ANIMAL EXPLAINS
ACTION TAKEN BY SENTRY
Ted Balias, well known contractor
whose horse was impounded a short
while ago, explains that the horse
was a recent purchase of his and for
a long time had been working for
the Alaskan Engineering commission.
The animal walked into the Com
mission barn and occupied the stall
he alw^'s did. Ted Balias went to
the barn to ascertain whether or not
the horse was there, and states that
he inquired of the guard whom he met
near the barn, how he was to set
about getting the animal released,
as he had a contract and needed
the horse right away, and that he
went to the corporal with the sentry
to see about this.
He was informed, later, how he
was to obtain the release, which he
did on payment of the assessment.
Mr. Balias wishes to state that he
had no intention of removing the
horse unlawfully.

BACK IN DEFEAT
FROM FAIRBANKS
Our Ball Team Returned Home
Defeated, But Not Disheartened;
Will Now Practice.
On the launch Eclipse, which
pulled into port this morning, our
baseball players returned to town,
firmly determined to put in a lot
of practice and give the Fairbanks
team an awful drubbing when they
come to Nenana for the series of
return games arranged for.
The facilities for practice were
denied our team by reason of the
recent floods and the fact that the
school grounds could not have been
gotten ready for this purpose any
earlier. The men had only one day’s
practice and the showing made in
the series played at the upper town
has demonstrated that we certainly
have a good live team, who would
give a good account of themselves
with a little more practice.
The team left Nenana on the
launch Sunflower, on the evening
of the 20th and arrived in Fairbanks
at about 10 a. m. next day, having
practically spent a sleepless night
fighting mosquitoes all the way up.
The first game was called on the
evening of the 21st and resulted in
a score of 20 to 7 in favor of Fair
banks.
That the practice gained by the
boys in the first game yas of much
value was demonstrated in the second
game of the series, which was played
next day, resulting in a score of
7 to 4 in favor of Nenana.
The third game, played on Sunday,
was hotly contested, the score at the
end of the seventh inning standing
4 to 4. Our men were guilty of a
few errors after the seventn inn;ng
which gave the Fairbanks men the
advantage, the final score standing
7 to 4 in their favor.
The Nenana boys have improved
much in form with the practice gain
ed in the series of games played
and are now more than ever pre
pared to demonstrate their superior
ity over any team that may be
pitted against them

IS SELECTED FOR
NAVAL SERVICE
Melvin Anderson Passes Examination
and Will Soon Enter Naval
Academy.
A letter received on the last in
coming mail brings tidings of the
success of Melvin G. Anderson, son
of Louis C. Anderson, of Nenana,
in the preliminary examination for
candidates seeking admission to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. Mel
vin, who is at present in Seattle,
will soon be on his way to Annapolis.
Each senator and representative in
congress, under the new law, this
year had the nomination of three
candidates for appointment to the
naval academy at Annapolis, and
Melvin Anderson, along with two
others, was nominated by Delegate
Sulzer; who has sent his nominee
the following letter:
Washington, D. C , May 25, 1918
Mr. Melvin G. Anderson, 939 19th
Ave., North, Seattle Washington.
“My dear Mr. Anderson:
“I have this day received the
standings of the candidates for An
napolis in tjje examinations which
they took in April. I am pleased
to inform you that your mark was
higher than that of any other can
didate, and I want to congratulate
you upon the showing made. You
may well imagine that it is a great
pleasure for me to hear that our
Alaska boys did so well, and I hope
that I will receive the same splendid
reports from you all during your
course at the Naval Academy.
“Following is the quotation from
the letter received by me from the
department, with reference to your
examination:
“Principal (Passed) Melvin Gear
hart Anderson.
Eng. Geog. Hist, Arith. Alg. Geom.
3.3 3.2 2.8 3.5 3.7 4.00
82.5 80 70 87.5 92.5 100
“The examination papers are
marked on a scale ranging from
4 to 0, and a mark below 2 5 in any
subject may cause the rejection of
a candidate. The lower line of fig
ures represents the per centage. 65'i
would be flunking.
“These are marks of which you
may well be proud, for the examina
tion is certainly a stiff one.
With kind regards, and hoping
see you in the near future, I am
“Sincerely,
(Signed) “CHAS. A. SULZER”
Melvin Anderson took the com-!
mercial course of the Broadway High j
School, Seattle, from which institu
tion he graduated about two years
ago. He came to Fairbanks im
mediately after graduation and se
cured the appointment of clerk in
the office of the clerk of the court,
which position he held until last Feb
ruary, at which time he was nom
inated by Delegate Sulzer for ap
pointment to the Naval Academy at
Annapolis.
Melvin having acquitted himself
very creditably in the examination |
will now take the physical test, for
which purpose he will leave for An
