RAILROAD TOWN ANXIOUS ABOUT BASEBALL GAME

As an exchange of courtesies i, has been requested of Manager Fisher that the baseball team be taken to Nenana for game on the Fourth of July. This request is made personally by Frederick D. Browne. engineer in charge at Ne mana, and through whose courtesy the Nenana team was permitted to make three-day visit to Fairbanks
 In support of the request Mir. Browne sent telegram some days previous to the playing of the series just past, which was as follows:
 "Nenana. June 20, 1918. Joe Fisher, Fairbanks.
 ''The team going up now expects a return game July Fourth. and the people of the town would be very much disappointed that after three years Nenana going 10 Fairbanks you now refuse to come down here. It seems as though you ought to do this in spirit of fairness if for no other reason. Morally you will get no encouragement by coming on the fifth of July if you omit con- ing to Nenana on the Fourth.
 "F D. BROWNE"
 Manager Fisher states that the matter will be taken up with the players and on their decision will rest whether the team will make the trip or not, as it would be i'm possible for him to act contrary to the players wishes. It is understood that substantial purse will be offered to the teams by the Nenana sports committee.
 Yesterday the management re- ceived the following message from R. R. Douse. manager of the sports at Nenana:
 "Nenana, June 2i, 1918. Joe Fisher, Fairbanks.
 Wire me authority make arrange ments baseball team be here Fourth "DOUSE." Pending the decision of the play CTS, MT. Fisher has not answered. Asked as to his personal wishes regarding the game. Manager Fisher said that he was in favor of grant ing the request of the Nenana boys, as they clearly had it coming to | them in view of their favors of the past three years and the present support being accorded the game in Fairbanks. It is probable that ar engagements will be made for the playing of the game and the trip made on the evening of July third

|NEWSY BRIEFS FROM NENANA

NENANA, June 24.-Owing to the high price of beef, the local res taurants have been compelled tC raise the price of all orders in which meat is used. This will mean more conservation on the part of the resi- dents on the meat question and the consumption of more substitutes.
 A meeting of the creditors of Paul Lescure, who was lately adjudged a bankrupt in the district court, is being held before Commissioner R s. Mcdonald this evening. G. B Erwin of Fairbanks is representing Lescure in the proceedings.
 Among the recent arrivals here is Miss J. O'Bryan, the Fairbanks busi ness woman. It is reported that Miss O'Bryan is considering the op ening of an establishment here.
 w. w. Pendergraft of Fairbanks is visitor and is looking after business interests. Rumor has il that he may open an establishment here or else make a purchase tt that effect.

INCORPORATION
 OF NENANA MAY
 BE COMING NOW

NENANA, June 24.-That steps are being taken for the incorpora. tion of the town was evidenced yes terday when the committee appoint ed by the Commercial club some time ago to work on the proposi. tion held meeting with F. D. Browne, the engineer in charge, and F. S. Ryus, townsite manager.
 The committee reported that they had met with very satisfactory en. couragement from the officials in regard to the incorporation. They were also instructed to arrange for a meeting with Commissioner w. C. Edes and A. Christensen, head of the land and industrial department of the commission, on their arrival here some time next week The committee will draft an outline of their proposals and present them to the two officials on their arrival
 The outcome of this meeting will be looked forward to with interest by all the taxpayers and property holders, as the future action of many will rest on the outcome of the conference.

RUSSIA IS NOT
 FAVORABLE TO
 GERMAN PEACE

STOCKHOLM, May 5.-Delief that the people of Russia want, above all things, peace at any price, is mis- take, asserts Vladimir. BOurtseff, noted Russian former Ievolution- ary and newspaper man wh has ar. rived here from Finland.
 "The Bolsheviki threaten the total destruction of Russia, said Bourtseff to writer in the Dagens Nyheter. They attained power by the help of the Germans and by the same means are maintained in power. Bol- shevism is danger not only for Russia but for the whole world, and it is necessary that the supporters of its doctrines should be thoroughly defeated. Russia cannot be saved so long as the Bolsheviki are in control. am convinced they can be conquered and I hope it will not be long before they are suppressed What Russia needs is govern. ment composed of Democrats and Cadets Constitutional democrats) with man like Korniloff or Milyu koff at its head. The idea that the land above all things peace at any price is mistake. This would be made plain under another govern ment which, unlike the present, was not dependent on German support
 Bourtseff at the beginning of the war was living in Paris as refu gee. He immediately returned to Russia to offer his services to the government against Germany. He was arrested the moment he reached Russian soil and sent to Siberia After year there he was released at the intercession of President Poin caire of France. He returned tC Petrograd, where he opposed the Bolsheviki. When the revolution broke out he was imprisoned in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul After four months imprisonment he escaped and reached Helsingfors whence he came to Sweden.

NO FRY FROM
 HATCHERY NOW

The idea of propagating game fish in the waters of Interior Alaska for this year will have to be abandoned The recent experiment of matching the eggs from spawn sent in from the Outside has ended in failure To those having the affair in hand the failure cannot be attributed, but rather to those who had the hand ling of the eggs prior to and during shipment.
 On the arrival of the eggs the entire shipment, with the exception of small quantity, was found to be unfit for placing in the matching troughs and had to be thrown away What were considered good were placed in the troughs and good re. suits obtained, but the quantity was so small that the expense of keeping them would not justify the promot. CTS of the proposition and they had to be destroyed. Those having the matter in charge are much disap. pointed in not receiving the ship. ment intact, as the experiment has demonstrated that the plan is feas. ible. Next year the attempt will be made and explicit instructions sent to those shipping the eggs as to the proper method of preparing them for their long journey to the interior

AUTO RACES TO
 BE GOOD CARD
 FOR THIS YEAR

The Fourth of July is coming and so are the auto races. Just as soon as the speed kings of Fair. banks get lined up and sign for the races the final arrangements will be made.
 Commencing yesterday, the park committee started the work of put ting the track in shape, the heavy steel roller being used. It is the intention of the committee to have the track in first class condition for the races, and the expense will be heavy.
 For the benefit of those who in. tend entering the race the rules in force last year will apply, the only restriction being that the cars all be Fords and that the gearing be the standard turned out by the factory.
 It is expected by the committee that at least five entries will be made. As starter Sheldon, who won the Fourth of July auto race last year, and McCord, the winner of the Labor Day race, have signi fled their intention of entering their cars, and several other Barney Old fields will affiX their signatures as soon as it is convenient.
 There will be two races, one over a 25-mile course and the other fol ten miles. The spectators will al all times be enabled to see the racers and pull for their favorites. The prizes to be offered will be such as to stimulate each entrant to do his best. The naming of the officials to judge and otherwise conduct the races will be announced at a later date, as will also any other matters pertaining to the holding of the races.
 Other towns may hold celebra tions, but Fairbanks is fortunate ir having the only place where auto races may be held, and when the track has been put in good condi tion will have the only speedway ir the north.

PROGRESS MADE
 BY COMMITTEE
 FOR GREAT DAY

The committee having the arrange ments for the celebration of the Fourth of July in hand have made good progress and will soon be able to announce the program of the day.
 While no announcement can be made at this time, it is understood that the day will be one that will stand out for safe and sane cele- bration and will long be remem- bered by the public. The chief at traction at the park will be the auto races under the management of the park commission. The Commercial club will have the handling of the rest of the collaboration.
 Included in the events of the day will be patriotic speeches by promi- ment citizens, and the Fairbanks band will be on hand to render patriotic and national airs. The committee still has many days be. fore making public the program and is making every effort to have as good a celebration as ever was held in the north. Announcement will be made from time to time concern. ing the plans outlined, that the public may make their preparations accordingly. However, it will be a great day.

CONTRACTS LET
 FOR CLEARING:
 ALSO GRADING

NENANA, June 24.-FOr the pur- pose of rushing the work along the newly projected line, there were awarded three contracts for the clearing of the right-of-way. Those to whom the contracts were let are as follows: Hugh Ross x Co.,, Domi- nic Funaro & Co, Ked Bellas X Co. The grading and clearing contract ors are all oldtimers at the game, having filled contracts with the com, mission for the past three years, and good progress will be made for the completion of the new line.
 Owing to the curvature of the new line it has been called the ID" line, and as such will be known from this time on.

WRESTLERS TO HOLD BOUT ON
 NIGHT OF 4TH

Articles of agreement were signed last night between Eugene Traveller and A. l.. Sharp to engage in catch-as-catch-can wrestling match to be held at the Auditorium on the evening of July 4th.
 The articles call for the best two out of three falls, but further state that if after three hours of wrest- ling neither contestant secures a fall the match shall be declared a draw. Both of the men have de- posted $50 to insure appearance, which in default of one will go to the one appearing. Carl Selberg has been named as the official referee, with Ben Sherman acting as stake holder.
 Traveller has reputation as a wrestler, having appeared in the States. and his last appearance here was with Nels Jepson at Ester. It took Jepson over an hour to throw his man after much hard work.
 Sharp is well known locally. but has never appeared here on the mat except in exhibitions. He is ac- credited with having done some good work against men of national repu- tatiOn Outside. and is also the holder of record in wrestling tournaments. His last match was with the cham pion of Stockholm, and he held his man safe through two and one-half hours of hard work. being awarded a draw.
 It has been some time since Fair banks has had wrestling match, and the bout should draw well, as both men are in good condition and have something to work for, as the articles of the agreement call for the winner to take all.
