SALOON SUBSTITUTE
 OPENED AT NENANA

NENANA, Aug. IA, (By MaiD.- The Outside substitute for a liQoor emporium has hit Alaska. Whether or not other towns have them is not known, but Nenana is sporting such a place in the Portland billiard par lors, opened up today by O. M. Jack son and Theodore Brakke, of Fair banks. C. H. (Slim) Packard is the manager of the establishment. The fixtures of the new billiard parlor are nothing short of magnificent, and it is believed to be the only place in AL aska where ice cream and soft drinks are served over a bar similar to the manner in which saloons on the Out side have been turned into soft drink emporiums. The place is located in the Nenana block at the corner of First and A streets.

ANCHORAGE, Aug 2S, (By MaiD Coal lights will be in vogue again this winter in a considerable section of Anchorage as the commission has not been able to increase the capacity of it's plant
 Since the nights have become long CT. the consumption of electricity in the Inlet townsite has increased be- yond the capacity of the commissions electric light plant, according to Her bert Gaytes, superintendent of the tel egraph and telephone department. In the last few days the load on the lighting machine at times between z o'clock and 10 o'clock at night has been from thirty-fve to forty per cent in excess of its rated capacity, and this peak load. Mir. Gaytes announces, has reached am amount which the pres eut equipment cannot carry
 The installation of the second and larger lighting machine, which was ordered by the commission last year, has not yet been completed because the firm which has the contract for the necessary steam fittings has found itself unable to deliver the required parts within the time specified. This delay is caused by abnormal business conditions, difficulty of securing raw material and congestion on the rail ways in the States.

 Association

What can be doro in the states can be done in Alaska is proved by the in- corporation of the Matanuska farm CTS cooperative association, which is organized under temitoma, laws. It has a membership of more than 100. At a recent election held at Ma tlnusSa the following officers were elected Co ser9e for the ensuing year:
 Carl Martin president; J. A. Whit taiet, secretaly-ueasmer, and A. A.. Cobb, W. P. Murray, Martin Lock wold and F. r. Winchester directors.
 The prime object of She Matanuska association at the present time is two fold and efforts will be concentrated on a standard grade of potatoes and the installation of warm storage plant at Matanuska which will solve the problem of supplying Anchorage merchants with the valley products which are so much in demand.
 Last season the transportation ia cilitins were absolutely inadequate and the farmers were unable to move their produce to market until after the freeza-up. Under the present p,au the crops Of the valley farms may be stored in the warm storage and held until necessary to fill a1 or ger.

On the French Front Aug. 23.-(By
The Associated Press. 1.-THE incend
iary bombs which were dropped by
two German aviators on two hospitals
behind Verdun on Sunday evening kill.
ed ten wounded men. one woman nurse
and nineteen male trained nurses. They
wounded forty-nine male nurses and
inflicted further injuries on patients
suffering from wounds received in
battle. many of whom rushed naked
into nearby fields in an attempt to
find shelter from the bombs which
were being rained down.
Meanwhile the German aviators
circled about in the air for half an
hour. firing their machine guns at hos.
pital orderlies who were endeavoring
to extinguish the flames. The nurses
had just finished bandaging $50
wounded Germans who had been
brought direct from the battlefield and
had gone to bed when the bombs were
dropped from height OF only 300
yards. The Red Cross signs were
painted prominently on the roofs and
the Germans knew of the hospital
which had been in existence for more
than a year.

FORMER RESIDENTS AND
FRIENDS; GOOD PROGRAM.

Over 1900 residents, former resi-
dents and friends of Agency gathered
! in Whipple's grove In that city wed
nesday for the annual homecoming pic
mic. There were many among the
older members of the assemblage who
have attended these picnics for the
past quarter Of century, and longer
perhaps, and there were many who
were attending it for the first time, but
q feeling of neighborliness and good
Fellowship was evident on all sides IN
the greetings and general spirit.
Several hundred Ottumwanse, many
of them real homecomers at this event
and many merely wished to share the
good time, were among the guests. A
large number left this city on the
early morning train. and many went IN
automobiles. but the greater majority
went at IL: 80 arriving just in time for
dinner
Whipple's grove which has been the
scene of these gatherings for many
years is an ideal place for such affairs
and the weather Wednesday was per-
feet.
hoover's Advice Disregarded.
Dinner was enjoyed for the most
part in family groups and it may be
said that Hoovers food restrictions
seemed to be lifted for the day, as
food in such abundance as 1t was serv-
ed yesterday is a rare sight these
days. For the convenience OF those
who did not wish to be bothered with
preparing their dinner lunch was serv-
ed cafeteria style by the Epworth Lea
que Of the Agency church.
The days program commenced at
1870 o'clock with W. H. Reynolds OF
Agency presiding as chairman. Music
was furnished by the Agency Main
Line band and mixed quartet.

was Rev. o. G. circuit of Des Moines.
a former pastor Of the Agency M. E..
church. Rev. circuit gave pleasing
address, Home. and It's Influence"
closing with an eloquent appeal to the
patriotism of his audience.
One of the pleasing features OF the
program was a cello solo by Miss Cleo
Bryan OF St. Joseph, Mo, formerly a
resident OF Agency. The program was
completed with recitations by Mar
garet Sirles. Constant Chambers and
Mildred Foster, and the playing OF
America" by the band.
The rest of the afternoon was spent
with various contests which aroused
much interest and were the occasion
of a great deal of amusement, particu-
larly the pie eating contest participant
ed in by many small boys whose appe'
tites seemed not a whit diminished by
the sumptuous dinner they had eaten.
There were several foot races in
which real speed was feature, and a
nail driving contest by married womt
