PICNIC PARTY
 LEAVES TODAY

After experiencing many delay caused by the rainy weather of the last week, the annual picnic and eX- cursion given by Captain Wallace Langley. master of the Tana, will be held today That is, it will be given unless it rains or unless low ering clouds give promise of rain before the day is over, for Captain Langley feels that it would be better to postpone the party for few days than to go to wet picnic grounds.
 It has been announced that the steamer will leave her dock about 10 o'clock, or as soon thereafter as the creek train gets in. The wait is necessary in order to give the creek women and children an opportunity to attend
 The committee in charge of the arrangements of the affair. announces that everything is in readiness, II is composed of Martin A. Pinska, R. NJ Crawford and Henry T. Ray, all of whom will attend the picnic to- day to do the special police du y of keeping the little ones from fall ing overheard. A large barge, well fenced in. is to be taken along so that the children will have plenty of room to play.
 The committee of Fairbanksans was appointed by Captain Langley to help him make his annual party the success it always has been. The committeeman have worked tireless- ly to that end, too and all kinds of delectable dainties have been collected for the enjoyment of young and old alike. To insure the sue cess of the affair, it was necessary to collect quite sum of money, all of it deing donated by the citi- zens through the efforts of the committee
