LOCATION PARTY
 BACK IN TOWN

Having completed the work for which it was organized, Location party No. has been disbanded and several members of the party ar rived in town yesterday evening. The party arriving was in charge of Engineer Hawley w. Sterling.
 H. K. Ward, who was in charge of the party, has gone on to Fair banks and three members of the Ward party were left behind near Standard creek to complete the run ming of few levels in that region It is expected that they will finish the work allotted as soon as the weather moderates, and will then | come to town.

COLD WEATHER
 DELAYS MAIL

Up to a late hour this afternoon Roy Lund had not arrived at Dun bars roadhouse with the Nenana mail from Fairbanks, and owing to the cold weather prevailing it is not likely that he will take the trail until the weather moderates. His whereabouts would appear to be un- known. Some think that he is at the Ohio roadhouse, while others think that he is still in Fairbanks.
 In telphone message to the News this afternoon, the News cores pendent thought that Roy Lund had not left Fairbanks.
 P. A. Thelin was to have left Fairbanks this morning, but owing to the severe weather was unable to do so. If there is an improvement in weather conditions he will leave tomorrow morning with the mail First class mail is due in Fairbanks tonight or early tomorrow morning and it is probably that Thelin vii arrange his departure so that ht will be able to get the Nenana share of this mail.

MOOSE SMOKER IS BIG SUCCESS;
 PROGRAM GOOD

The local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose gave very enjoyable smoker last night at the home of the order on Third and A streets, follow ing immediately after the regular meeting.
 In spite of the severe weather prevailing, the thermometer reading being 52 below zero, the warm quar- ters of the Moose were comfortably crowded by the members of the local lodge, visiting members and visitors who were not yet members of the order, but availed themselves of the cordial invitation extended by the local Moose
 The proceedings commenced short ly after 9 D. m., and were carried to successful finish very enthusi- astically, the antlered brethern prov ing to be ideal hosts The program arranged for the night was divided into two parts, the period interven- ing between the first and second parts being utilized for partaking of splendid lunch which was served downstairs
  Ali Eckland presided during the smoker and called the items on the varied program, every one of which was thoroughly enjoyed. Tony Le- tray, who contributed several items to the program, gave very finished imitation of the Scottish bagpiper, cleverly sustaining the drones of the Highland pibroch on the mouth organ Private Morris, from Ten nessee, ably supported by "Dooley" Calvin, contributed several amusing items accompanying himself on the banjo. Dooley proved himself adept with the bones, and was there" on almost every item on the program.
 Alex Fowler read a very inter- esting account of the great work done at Mooseheart for the children and later contributed another item from the Moose Bulletin, which was greatly cnioyed.
 Sam Tansy was heard to advant- age in an impromptu discourse, and in response to requests, threw his hearers into roars of laughter in his rendering of the recitative Fare well, Brother Watkins"
 Dictator M. V. Tyler explained the motives and purposes of the order and gave interesting data regarding the work done and the share of the nations burden borne by the mem bers of the Loyal Order of Moose. He also explained the position of the lodge and the plans they have made for expansion, which, he said, they hoped to be in position to take in hand in the near future.
 Several interesting items of the program were rendered following Mir. Tyler's speech, and during the whole course of the smoker liquid refreshments, cigars and cigarettes were passed around most profusely.
 A mouth-organ duet by Tony Le- tray and Charles Grisselle brought to termination one of the most enjoyable smokers held in Nenana.
