ARRIVAL OF MAILS
 RATHER UNCERTAIN

The arrival of the next frst-class mail ill Nenana is a matter of much uncertain ty, owing to the cold weather prevailing at the present time. It appears from re- ports received from Fairbanks that there was some delay i'll the arrival of first-class mail at the upper town, the last consign- ment having reached there from the coast on Thursday, just too late to catch The Calhoun outfit.
 Postmaster Deal, of the Fairbanks ot- fee, informed the News yesterday that the delayed shipment would be forward ed at the first opportunity, with Roland, Palmer or any other reliable outfit head ed thls way. In case the weather pre- vents the departure of any stages or pri- vate rigs, the mail will await the regular trip of Mailcarrier Calhoun, who is due to leave Fairbanks on February l.
 Calhoun arrived in Nenana on Thurs day with large consignment ot second class and way matter, but no hrst-class mall. He returned to the upper town yesterday.

HOWELL BUYS AUTO
 FOR LUMBER TRUCK

Sylvester Howell has purchased Jef- frey quad from the N, (. company and within a short time the machine will be brought to Nenana and placed in com. mission as lumber truck between here town. The auto was brought ill for the town of Fairbanks, to be used as hose truck, but it was found 10 lack sufficient speed for that purpose, The machine has almost unlimited power, however, and speed enough to make two round trips daily between the Howell mill and prove vastly more economical than the teams which are now in use.

MUCH FREIGHT DUE
River Fleet Will Be Kept Busy During COm-
 ing Season

Questioned regarding the probable ton- mage that would be received by the Alas kan Engineering commission during the coming summer, Thos. Riggs, IT,, stated yesterday that sufficient quantity of rails, rolling stock, commissary supplies and other material would be purchased to insure a steady stream of freight landing at Nenana from the middle of June until the end of the season, providing the transportation companies fulfill their end of the contract In round figures, the tonnage is placed at between 12, GOO and 15.OO0, a large part ot which has already been contracted.
 Coast deliveries will be arranged ill a manner that will eliminate congestion on the river, but there will be sufficient awaiting shipment at all times to insure full loads for all the boats engaged Tn hauling. And MT. Riggs has the assur- auce of the transportation officials that there will be no delays on the part of the company.
 In addition to the Commission freight, 1t is expected that an unusually large quantity of merchandise will be shipped by Nenana merchants and business men, the amount being variously estimated at from 5000 to 10, GOO tons.

CLUB TALKS PLANS
Civic Body Holds Session Another Meeting
 Tomorrow

Improved mall service between Fair banks and Nenana. water and sewage systems for the town, and the organiz- ation of a volunteer fire department were matters discussed at the meeting of the Nenana Commercial club which was held at the office of Secretary Robert E. Burns on Sunday afternoon. There was large attendance and everyone present took a lively interest in all the questions which were brought up for discussion. Another meeting is to be held tomorrow afternoon, at which time other matters of import ance to tlie town will be discussed.
 With regard to the mall matter, the club instructed the secretary to make ar engagements with the several stages and dog outfits operating regularly between Nenana and Fairbanks to carry mail, all lowing them fixed rate per pound for all mail carried In this way 1t is be- lieved that a more satisfactory service can be secured for the town.
 Townslte Manager Ryus reported that he had been gathering data on sewage systems and desired to get an expression, of opinion from the members regarding the kind of piping favored. The matter was explained in manner that showed that the townsite manager had gone into tborouub1I- and 1Ulet1 he had concluded his remarks the major itv of those present agreed with him that 1t would be advisable to install the best piping obtainable This will cost some what more than laying ordinary wooden boxes, such as are used i'll most of the Interior towns, but there will be no ex- pensive repairs needed after the piping is in the ground. The cost of installation IS estimated at s co foot, or roughly, about 5000 per 25-foot lot more than the cheaper grade of plping, which would be sure to be a continual source of an- noyance and expense.
 Nothing has been decided upon with regard to the proposed water system. There is possibility that the townsite and the Commission will act jointly in the matter, and until that question is de- cded it will be impossible for the town to take definite action. The matter was taken up for discussion, however, and there probably will be further discussion along the same lines at the meeting to- morrow.
 The question of providing means for immediate fire protection was also dis cussed at considerable length, and it was the opinion of the members that steps should be taken at once to organize a volunteer fire department. A fire chief probably will be named tomorrow and the work of organizing commenced at once.
 Deputy Marshal Hagen reported that the night watchnlan who is serving the town at present had been unable to se- cure enough subscriptions to pay him ad- equately for his services, and several of those present volunteered to increase their payments. A new list was circu- lated during the week at the suggestion of the club, and several additional names were added to the list.
 The meeting tomorrow will commence promptly at three o'clock.
