VISITORS FROM
UPR|VER TOWN

A party of Fairbanks young peo-
pie, under the chaperonage of Mr..
and Mrs. A. G. Atworth of Gil
more, arrived in Nenana Saturday
evening on the Moore launch and
remained in town over Sunday,
starting on the return voyage at
midnight last night. The visitors
attended the dance at Union hall
on Saturday night, which was ar
ranged in their honor, but their
plans for yesterday were somewhat
upset owing to the fact that there
was no train available to take them
to the end of the line, south of
Nenana. They came to Nenana, it
is understood, believing that it
would be possible for them to visit
43-mile or other points of interest
along the railroad.
The excursionists were also some
what disappointed over the non-ap-
rearance of Bob Sheldon, who was
largely responsible for the outing,
but who, apparently, found it i'm
possible to return from the Tolo-
vana in time to meet them here.
Those composing the party were !:

in this division will not permit of
a start being made on the proposed
wagon road which is to connect the
ends of steel, the work of building
the road is going ahead steadily
from the Anchorage end of the gap,
and the commencement of winter
should find a good double-ender trail
ready for the traffic which will de-
velop between Nenana and Anchor
age after the close Of navigation.
Word has been brought to Ne
mana by late arrivals over he Broad
Pass trail that the Secrest survey
ing party, which is engaged in To-
eating the route of the government
railroad north of Indian river, is
building wagon road at the same
time. This road has now reached
a point 16 miles north of Indian
river.
The main camp of the party is
now located about FIVE miles south
of the Broad Pass summit, with
smaller camps ahead of the work
and some behind, engaged in the
bridge and road work. The ad-
vance party has reached a point
about ten miles north of the sum-
NIT and a fairly good horse trail
has been cut that distance toward
Nenana, to be transformed later by
the rear party into a good road
Fairly substantial bridges are being
constructed by the road gang, and
the swamps are being corduroyed.
The Secrest party left Anchorage
on May %. The journey from An
chorage to Talkeetna was made by
train, and from Talkeetna to Indian
river by boat, the Commissions
gasoline power boat Betty M be-
ing engaged in regular traffic be-
tween these points. The first camp
was established at Indian river and
the party spent some little time
investigating a new crossing of the
Susitna river. The party then went
to the east fork of the Chulitna
river, from which point the location
work started toward Broad pass and
the Interior.
The party numbers about So men,
headed by T. w. Secrest, and 26
pack-horses are being used in con-
nection with the work. The mem
bers of the party include: E. R.
Hinnant, field boss; Donald McDon-
aid, craftsman; B. C. Welte, drafts
manfi George Cowgirl, transitman;
W. Anderson, levelman; J. T. Kel-

with it. Get ready for it to take ad-
vantage of all the good there will be
in it for the Kingdom of God. When a
reform starts it generally ends vic
torious, because behind it and in
front of it is God, and if the church
is not, it is because the members are
short sighted and haven't the vision
which they will have bye and bye.
The Sunday School has passed
through all the time of criticism,
abuse, and understanding. People
have for the most part, given up the
idea that it is a rival of the church
and have come to know it has place
where the members of the church 60,
or should go, to study the Bible, the
text book of the church, the message
of God to US. For grown up people
this is one of the purposes of the Sun
day School, to study Gods word and
then to teach it to the younger ones
of the church. If you do not know the
Bible, that is the only place in all
probability, where you can go for it's
study. If you know it, then it is your
place to go and teach. If you as dea-
cons and experienced members of the
church, or the most experienced that
your church has in its membership,
do not teach the younger children,
who will? You need to teach, because
you yourself will derive benefit.
The Sunday School too, is place
where children can be instructed in
the habit of church attendance, for
it is the church they attend when they
are in Sunday School. This is very
important. AS child I always went
to Sunday School, loved to go, and
now that I am older, no matter how
inconvenient, well nigh impossible,
nor how many hundreds of Sundays
I have, of necessity been absent, /
am in the habit of going to Sunday
School. When the time comes to go,
if some family duty prevents, I say
to myself, 1 want to go to Sunday
School to-day, but having weighed the
matter we'll, think that what I have
learned in the Sunday School concern
ing the duties of life, directs me to
stay at home. If am sick, unable to
go when the time comes, say to my
self, eff were up, would be in the
Sunday School to-day" so whenever
it is right for me to go, am there.
If 1 should live to be hundred years
old, and never be able from now OF,

should be ostracised."


There is nothing that will bring
out Sunday School more than these
public exercises, because it teaches
the children confidence, and becomes
the means of discovering the various
gifts Of the children and young peo-
pie. Some people have gone through
the world and to their graves undis-
covered by themselves or any one
else, because we, all, as George FL
lot says, "are we'll wadded with stu
pidity." The Sunday School is a DEM
ocratic institution, because sometimes
the children of the most humble are
the most gifted and are thus enabled
to lift their families to public recog-
milton.
The memorizing of the literature
and songs and the Importance and
publicity of the occasion, makes the
child feel that what the church stands
for is extremely important and as
they grow older, they are better fitted
to take place in the church from ac-
tual practice.
Another important relationship be-
tween the church and the Sunday
School is the opportunity the Sunday
School has of teaching the doctrines
of the church, in fact about the only
practical opportunity except in the
home, and the opportunity to teach
about the great denominational en-
terprises, what they are and what
they stand for. l think good plan is
for the teachers to take their classes
to the Hospital, or. Orphanage and
let them see while young what these
things are. None of this can be done
without hard work and conservation.
The plans and methods which are ours
for the asking are good enough, but
it is time for US to stop reading plans
and go to working them out.
This last relationship. We should
make the Sunday School an example
to the young people of what the
church really stands for and how the
gospel messags should be carried to
all the world: and the most important
thing, let the students in the schools
see such zeal and enthusiasm in our
service for the Master and such ad-
herence to the purposes of the church
that they will be electrified thereby
and become, by the hundreds, great
lights in the world for the spread of
the gospel in every nook and Granny
of the dark and sin cursed world. All
we need is to seize the opportunity.
The time and the occasion is ours
and the victory cometh.

to go to Sunday School, I still have
the Sunday School habit 1t cannot be
broken. 1t is on my mind and heart
so, no matter how poor the Sunday
School is, the child ought to go, to
formulate the habit of church going,
and the older ones likewise to hold on
to the habi5 and to teach the youth
the value Of the idea and reason for
| it's value.
In the Sunday School too, the child
learns the habit of giving. Each child
should have contribution. Of course
the parents must furnish it, and I
would rather the child would take a
penny to Sunday School every Sun
day than a five-dollar gold piece once
a year. The latter would be spectac-
ular, but would not teach the child
the habit of giving.
In the Sunday School the children
and young people can learn to work,
but they cannot do it if the older
members of the church are not there
to direct them. There are little things
they can do in the class room, they
can act as ushers and take up collec-
tions, and one of the best means of
child development is in the public
exercises in the Sunday School.
Young people like movement, ac-
tion, excitement. That is nature. Yet
people are saying all the time "What
shall we do with the young people?
They are so worldly minded, so anX-
ious to be running from place to
place." Every generation of young
people has done that way since the
world began, and the older people
have said the same thing over and
over again. There is a remedy for it,
but it costs great deal, will mean
work, so suppose most of us will go
on complaining until the. Lord calls
out pioneer to right the situation.
Then maybe many of the church will
begin to criticize and wonder what's
the use of all this agitation and pre-
dict that no good will come of it. The
remedy is to give the young people
substitute. They may pull back at
first and try Jobs patience, but keep
sweet and go on trying.
The exercises suggested for mis-
sionary, temperance and children's
day will give fine opportunity for
service. Young women students, our
college boys and girls can take these
in charge during the summer months
and many of them will take delight
in doing it. A young student said to
me the other day, "In this great day,
those who can serve and will not

BRADLEY TO GET BIG
SUM FROM STATE
AND TO BUILD HIGHWAYS
THROUGH COUNTY.
County Court to Appropriate
$4,000 and State Will
Double This Amount.

Cleveland, July 12.-(Special.)-
Bradley county is to get $4,000
from the state and federal govern
ments to aid in building the Chatta-
nooga- Knoxville pike. This Is con-
ditional on the county giving $751;
600 for this purpose, but this is al
ready assured by the court which, in
| its session last Monday unanimously
passed a resolution agreeing to give
one dollar for every two furnished by
| the state and federal governments
for road building. The committee APP
pointed to confer with the state
highway commission returned from
Nashville last night and reported
complete success as far as the one
road was concerned. They were in
structed to get aid for as many Of
the designated state highways in the
county as they could, but the COM
mission informed them that they
could entertain only one proposition
at time, and agreed to allot $150,000
for the building of the one highway.
This pike runs northeast and SOUTH
west through the county from the
Jim county line on the south, to Nc
MINI county line on the north and
about twenty-five miles long. The
sum of $225,000, which will be pro-
vided by the above plan. will make
available $10,227 per mile. The road
Is already piked and graded, but is
about worn out, as many motorists
who have driven over 1t can testify.
1t is believed here that there will
soon be completed a fine highway
from Chattanooga to Knoxville. Nc
MINI and Jim counties will be the
only gaps left when Bradley gets this
road done, (that is. IL they are left
they may beat us to iD.
The state commission assured the |
committee that they would send the |
first engineer available to make the |
plans for building the road. The |
committee going to Nashville con-
sisted of Hon. Jacob Smith, Hon.
