NEW STREET IS
 GIVEN NAME OF
 FAIRBANKS BOY

By an unanimous vote last evening the city council adopted a motion to name the new street connecting First and Second avenues between Cush. man and Lacey streets "Blanchfield Street." The name is that of the first Fairbanks boy to enlist in the great war and who was also the first to fall fighting the Huns.
 Percy Blanchfield was strictly a Fairbanksan. He was the first boy to graduate from the local higl school, leaving here shortly after ward to enter a law school in the States. Anxious to get into the war being fought for humanity, he en- listed in the Canadian forces, was wounded and invalided home, again re-enlisted and was sent back to the front. When Americ~ entered the war, he got into the American army and was killed fighting under the Stars and Stripes.
 A petition was read to the coun- cil from Nenana, signed by many people, asking that the street be call ed "Nenana" street. The council in- structed the city clerk to notify the Nenanaites. thru the Nenana news paper, of the action taken in the matter, so that it might be made plain that there was no feeling of animosity on the part of the coun- cil in it's failure to name it "Ne- nana."

Changed Details

There are two details which may have bearing on
this coming melee One is that Willard is three years
older than he against Moran and three years
you have passed thrty-fve is quite spell Another
is that Dempsey isn't Moran. Moran absorbed the
bulk of his reputation by picking man-Jeems
Cofey. Whereas Dempsey has picked on a number
of socaled asprants, and in cases he has ham
mered number of splinters from their blocks.
Moran game enough and forced most of the
fighting. Dempsey viii have to do the same-and
Dempsey will, that being his artistic way of going
about the job Willard could see Morans punches on
their way toward his frontispiece while Dempsey is
entirely different sort Of hitter.
