With the arrival of Tom
Smith from the lower river
during the week, the work of
transforming the new Nenana
block into a first class hotel
was commenced with energy
and within a very short time
the large place will be ready
for occupancy. 1t was the in
tentiOn of the original owners
of the building to divide the
second floor into office rooms
and the plans were drawn ac-
cordingly. 1t is the opinion OF
Mir. Smith however, that the
town is more in need of a hotel
and he intends to equip his
new establishment in a
thoroughly modern manner.
The rooms are to be, furnished
comfortably, even luxuriously.
There will be steam heat thru
out the building, electric lights,
baths and, in fact, every con
venience that a first class ho-
tel should have. The lobby will
face First avenue, just at the
rear of the Portland Pool
Hall, and, like the rooms up
stairs, will be furnished with a
view to the comfort and con-
vience of the guests.
The heating plant will be in
stalled by the Tanana Sheet
Metal Works.

MEMORIAL DAY OB-
 SERVED IN WILLIAMS

Memorial Day was fittingly observed in Williams this week. The ceremonies were arranged by Miss Peet, who was made a committee of one by the Board of Managers of the Loyalty League, to take charge of that work. The School Band, the Home Guard and the school led by their teachers, took part in the program. The day was almost ideal and a large attend ance was present.
 The band, the guards and the school children marched in pro- cession from the schoolhouse to the Sultana theatre, where a program of speaking and music was given, and then from the theatre to the cemetery and back, with the band leading and supplying appropriate mu- sic. In the lead of the proces- sion, rode Col" Burnsides, the one remaining old veteran in Williams, piloted by the Town Marshal in his car. The pro- cession started at two o'clock and it was a little after four when the ceremonies were com pleted.
 The program given at the Sultana was as follows:
 Overture, = Barnes Orchestra Invocation,---- Rev. Tragitt Song, ---- Tenting Tonight
 - By Mixed Quartette Song by School,-- The Battle
 Hymn of the Republic Address, ----- Rev. Tragitt Remarks to Children on the
 Reason for Memorial Day
 F. E. Wells Song by all, The Star Spangled
 Banner After the program the pro- cession proceeded to the Pine Crest cemetery, where the band played while a delegation of children decorated the graves of the departed veterans who lie buried there. Rev. Tragitt then led in prayer, after which the parade returned to town and dispersed.

RED CROSS IN CHARGE
 REGISTRATION DAY

The local Red Cross Chapter has arranged for a fitting dem onstration of patriotism on reg istration day, next Tuesday, June 5. All business places are to be closed for the day, and an appropriate program is to be given at the Sultana theatre.
 Red Cross tags will be sold to raise Red Cross funds which are badly needed to provide bandages and hospital mater ials for the men at the front. It is the hope of the committee that a good sum may be raised on this day, and that Williams may be found ready to do it's full share. The details of the program are not yet complete but an appropriate and impress sively patriotic observance is assured. A special effort is to be made to better acquaint the public with the aims and the workings of the Red Cross or ganization.
 Mrs. w. M. Hughes is in charge of the arrangements for the day and is sparing no pains to make the demonstration an unparalleled success in Will Hams. ..

STUDS LAID AT REST
 BY GENTLE HANDS

Last Thursday and Friday, the first two recruits of the Will Hams squad of Farmerettes completed the ceremony of lay ing their dearly cherished po- tatoes, corn and beans at rest in their last repose. Each potato was placed with care that it's eyes might be upward to re- ceive direct inspiration from the stars to inspire in it a desire of great accomplishments. The onions were carefully segregat- ed that they might not affect the potatoes eyes and make the crop watery. It is reported further that each bean, each kernel of corn and each other seed was deposited with femi- nine care and precision.
 But, be that as it may, three whole acres were planted on the old M. Bar H. ranch, near MT. Benham's farm, at the cost of much hard labor, at the hands of the fair farmerettes, Misses Edna Buggeln and Es- ther Carlson. If their labors bear the fruit that they have richly earned, these young lad ies will be the hostesses to one of the greatest corn and potato roasts that ever was, sometime next autumn.
