A large number of the members of the Nenana Commercial club and many of their friends as well as ser eral miners and prospectors of she districts assembled Sat urday night, immediately after the show, at the Labor Union Hall, to enjoy the smoker which was given by the Commercial club.
 K. S. Mcdonald, president of the Commercial club, in few words bade the guests of the club welcome and explained the purpose of the smoker. The Nenana Commercial mlub, he said, was now directing its efforts in cooperation with the Fairbanks Commercial club and the American Mining Congress, towards the establishment of central power plant at Lignite of sufficient capa- city and power and having a radius of at least one hundred miles, which would enable it to supply much needed power, at cheap rate, and make possible the speedy develop ment of great many mines in this and neighboring districts; and also by reason of the cheapness of the power supplied, make it possible to work the innumberable low grade placer mining claims throughout the Panama valley, which are now lying fallow because of the prohibtive cost, principally of power.
 The Lignite country, he said, was selected as the location of the pro- jected power plant because an un- limited quantity of coal which will enter largely in the production of power is available and can be readily obtained.
 John A. Davis, who is in charge of the Bureau of Mines at Fair banks, he said, was present, and would, at later stage of the pro- ceedings outline the plan of action adopted for the purpose of taking the matter up with Congress and requesting the necessary appropria- ton for the building of the power plant.
 A commencement of the enter tainment got up by a special com mittee of tn club with Dr. Bowen as chairman, was then put on, Dr. Bowen calling the numbers.
 The first item on the program was a song by a bevy of girls dressed in the costumes usually worn by the ladies of a Turkish harem and which were charmingly effective. The song was rendered by Mrs. Kellum, the refrain being taken up by her Dervish following, who were Misses Queenie and Alta Russell, Jane Anderson, Betty Foster and Mrs. Ed Lund. The accompani- ment to the song was played by Mrs. Katherine Sholseth, and the graceful movements of the nymphs in the Eastern dance was greatly enjoyed. They earned a we'll merited and thunderous recall to which they gracefully responded by repeating the last verse.
 A solo by Kenneth Diven, en- titled "Daisies," was then enjoyed by the audience, the singer being heartily applauded for the rendition. He was accompanied on the piano by his sister, Miss Lucille Diven.
 Fraak Cleary next recited "The Story of the Parsons Son" in his usual finished style, and in response

PLANS OUTLINED FOR POWER PLANT
 AT CLUB SMOKER

to the hearty recall rendered one of Services poems.
 Miss Jane Anderson favored the audience with song, and in re- sponse to very hearty recall, re- sponded by singing "The Summer Wind"
 "Dooley" Calvin, in character, was next heard in a monologue, fol lowed by a song. This item was rendered in his own inimitable style and was greatly enjoyed, the con clusion of it being greeted with much applause.
 The program was brought to conclusion by the rendition of an action song by the young ladies. In this item, Mrs. katherin Sholseth, Field Marshal Selzburg, led her squad composed of Misses Jane Anderson, Queenie Russell, Alta Russell, Betty Foster and Mrs. Leon Kellum and Mrs. Ed Lund into action; and during the course of the song, the squad went through several highly entertaining evolu- tions of more or less military char acter. The squad was in the un- dress uniform of the United States infantry, without blouses; the field marshal alone being fully dressed. To the inevitable encore, the beau tiful squad was led into action once more by their charming commander and the last verse of the song was rendered.
 Both of the action songs rendered by the group of young ladies were very good indeed and was a very creditable performance, taking into consideration the fact that there is little opportunity for rehearsals and other preparation here. All of the participants are employees of the A. E. c. and are pretty busy all the time. The girls were spec ially trained in their dance by Mrs. Leon Kellum.
 Every item on the program was greatly enjoyed by the large assem- blaze and expressions of regret at its shortness were frequently heard.
 R. S. Mcdonald, in a few words, introduced John A. Davis, who had made a special trip from Fairbanks at the invitation of the Nenana Commercial club, to be it's guest at the smoker. MT. Davis, he said, was eminently qualified to give the people of this district a statement based on scientific facts, regarding the Ignite coal and it's adaptability for various purposes; and he was also. in a position to inform them of the steps which will be taken for the establishment of a central power plant, which would mean so much for Interior Alaska.
 Mir. Davis, who was heartily ap- plauded on rising to speak, said that he was very glad to be the guest of the Nenana Commercial club and to be given an opportunity to bring a message of hope to the people of this district regarding the es- tablishment of central power plant which he thought was an object that would not be difficult of accom- plishment provided the right methods were adopted to gain the approval and support of the federal govern ment. He said he was strongly in favor of the movement, was entirely ----
