JOE O’CONNOR WILL DIRECT
ARRANGEMENTS FOR FOURTH
Realizing that Nenana will have
the opportunity this year to stag"
the biggest Fourth of July celebra
tion in the history of the town, a
committee of citizens headed by
Mayor Frank Teufel has delegated
Joe O’Connor, of the Terminal, te
act as general chairman of the 1923
celebration, with nower to app >int
the various committees which will
' be needed to carry out the elaborate
plans outlined.
| The selection of Mr. O’Connor
i was made at a meeting held at the
: offices of Dr. J. H. Romig on Thurs
day evening for the purpose of ar
ranging for the reception of Col
onel and Mrs. Mears. It was pointed
out by several of those present that
an early start should be made in
launching the Fourth of July cele
bration plans and the suggestion

■ met with unanimous approval, fol
| lowed by the choice of Mr. O’Connor
j as general chairman with instruc
tions to get busy immediately.
Captain C. G. Jones stated that
many men would be at work along
the railroad close to Nenana during
, the summer and that probably all
of them would desire to spend the
Fourth here. The usual arrange
ments, he said, would be made to
; bring the men to town to attend
the celebration, and he estimated
that the crowd would be larger than
that of last year.
Prof. A. B. Phillips informed thg
committee that steps are under way
for the organization of a regular
band, nearly a dozen players already
having been lined up. He thought
the organization would be in a
position by the Fourth to provide
excellent music for the celebration.
At the present time there are more
players than instruments in the com
munity.
Efforts are to be made to round
up all the ball players in Nenana
and vicinity with a view to having
a team ready for the celebration
and additional games during the re
mainder of the season.
The attention of the committee
w*as called to the fact that an air
plane will be available for the cele
bration if a sufficient guarantee
can be arranged and a landing field
provided. The city council already
has the landing field question under
consideration and it is thought the
other arrangements can be made
without difficulty.
The News is in receipt of a let
ter from W. F. Thompson editor of
the Fairbanks News-Miner, in which
he says Nenana is being offered the
first chance any Alaska town has
ever had for first class airplane
stunting. The plan is to give Nenana
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth of
July, and Fairbanks the eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth. Nenana can
have the feature for $600 and a
clear field for the celebration. De
tails of the offer are contained in
a letter addressed to Mayor Frank
Teufel.
Working overtime, an illicit still,
of unknown ownership at present,
ocated in the one-story fram§
ouilding adjoining the Seattle hotel
on the west, on Fifth street.Anch
orage, exploded Tuesday afternoon
and set fire to the building. The
fire alarm was turned in at 3:41
ind in a short time the Anchorage
fire department had two streams
of water playing on the flames.
Due to the combustible material the ]
lames made quick headway. The ]
ouilding was practically doomed ,
vhen the firemen arrived, and eff
orts were successfully centered on
•aving the Seattle hotel and other j
idjoining buildings. ,
The owners of the building es- 1
imate their loss at $1,500. 1

NENANAITES BID FAREWELL
TO RETIRING R. R. CHIEF
There was a large and representa
tive gathering of Nenanaites at Un-1
ion hall last night to pay their res- i
pects to Colonel and Mrs. Frederick
Mears, who were honor guests at
a farewell reception and dance. The !
affair was arranged by a joint com
mittee representing the town and
the Alaskan Engineering Commission
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all
attending.
During the course of the evening
Mayor Frank Teufel delivered a
brief address expressing apprecia
tion of the friendly interest shown
in N'enana by Colonel Mears fol
lowing his assumption of personal
supervision over the Northern di
vision. and at the conclusion of the
address the mayor presented the
guests of honor with mem-1
entos of the happy occasion, the ‘
colonel receiving a gold Alaska1
charm, set with a diamond, and Mrs.
Mears a native ivory necklace.
Colonel Mears responded feelingly
he said he hoped the things that
had been done for Nenana during
the time he was in charge of the af
fairs of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission would bring permanent
benefit to the community and he
expressed the belief that Nenana
had a bright future ahead of it. The
colonel referred briefly to his re
tirement as directing head of the
Alaska Railroad, saying merely that
he had been directed by the war de
partment to report elsewhere for
duty and that was all there was to
it. The colonel said he was proud
of the fact that he had been made
an honorary member of the Pion
eers of Alaska and expressed the
hope that he and Mrs. Mears would
find it possible at some future time
to return to the territory for a real
outing.
Colonel and Mrs. Mears cams !
lown from Fairbanks yesterday af- j
ternoon and left for the coast last I
light, the regular train being held (
three hours for their convenience. <
rhey plan to leave for the States J
on the Northwestern and will make j
heir home at the Presidio, San j
Francisco, after a brief vacation J
rip to Southern California.
Father Eline came down from
Fairbanks yesterday and will offi
,-iate at mass tomorrow morning at
he local Catholic church.
Hass will be held at 8:30 and again
it 10:30.
M. J. Cooney is in receipt of a
etter from Mrs. Cliff Hall of Tal
teetna, in which she states she is
eeking a location locally.
The Nenana Moose will hold a
egular meeting at their lodge rooms
>n Monday night and probably the
ast smoker of the season will be
ield at that time.
