CANNOT CLEAR MYSTERY ABOUT
 MISSING SHIP

BERLIN, March 2s.-R)-After a careful search of all records pertain ing to the activities of the sub. marines during the war the German admiralty announces that it is un. able to throw any light upon the mysterious disappearance of the missing American collier Cyclops.
 The disappearance of the Cyclops is regarded as one of the greatest sea mysteries of the age. Leaving the port of New York with a cargo of manganese ore for foreign port it reported constantly up to the time of entering the West Indian waters where it suddenly dropped from sight and communication. Whether it was submarined or not will never be known. The German records since the month of May last have been thoroly searched but no mention Is made of the destruction of a ship that would answer to the descrip tion of the Cyclops.
 At the time of her disappearance the Cyclops was manned by a crew of fifteen officers and two hundred and twenty-one men. Fifty-seven passengers were also on board.

STR. 1ANANA TO
MEET ALASKA ON
RETURN VOYAGE

The steamer Tanana, which is
now on the way up the Tanana
river to Fairbanks, is scheduled 10
leave the upper town about Satur-
day on a return voyage TO Gibboa,
where connections will be made
with the steamer Alaska for the
Outside via Dawson. After trans
ferring passengers and mail to the
Alaska, the Tanana will return -
Fairbanks, where Captain Green
and the men of his crew will board
the Reliance for the first koyukuk
voyage of the season.
The Tanana, now enroute direct
from Dawson, is expected to reach
Nenana about noon tomorrow, with
passengers, freight, and mail from
the States. After discharging cargo
here, the boat will proceed up
river, and probably will be ready
to start on the return voyage some
time Saturday.
1t had been previously planned
to let the Alaska come through to
Fairbanks on the next trip, but
doubtless owing to the fact that the
steamer Yukon will not be able 70
go on the regular schedule between
Dawson and Fairbanks until after
the Midnight Sun excursionists
have returned to Whitehorse, il
has become necessary TO make fur
Their use of the Tanana on this end
Of the run.
The Tanana was reported at Hot
Springs at eight O'Clock this morn
ing, with the barge Innoko in tow.
The last heard of the Alaska was
from Rampant, that point having
been passed at Gals yesterday on
the up-river voyage.

CLUB MEMBERS
ARE URGED TO
MEET TONIGHT

An urgent call has been issued
for a general meeting of the Ne
mana Commercial club, to be held
at the club quarters in the Union
building at the usual hour tonight
The members are asked to be on
hand promptly, for there will be
much important business to transact
and probably not another meeting
Of the organization will be held
until after the Fourth of July.
A part of the work to be taken
up tonight will be the settlement
of certain details of the forth
coming celebration and a general
discussion of the plans. The heads
of the various committees will be
on hand TO report the progress
made by them and to receive defin-
tie final Instructions
One of the matters that will be
settled will be the timing of the
program so that the members of
the sports committee can go ahead
with the arrangements. As soon
as the events have been arranged
in their regular order and the
prizes definitely settled, programs
will be printed for distribution
throughout the district, so that
prospective contestants may know
what events are coming, what the
prizes are and when the events
viii take place. The advance dis
tribution Of the programs, IL is
believed, will add considerably to
the number of entries and to the
general interest in the celebration.
Another matter to be brought to
the attention Of the club tonight
is the calling Of an election to
choose town trustees under the pro-
visions of the home rule law enacted
by the late legislature.
The meeting will be called to
order at eight o'clock and a full
attendance of members is desired

TOWN MAY TAKE
STEPS TO NAME
ALDERMEN SOON

The matter of choosing a board
of aldermen to govern the affairs
of the town of Nenana, as pro-
vided for in the home rule law
enacted during the recent session
of the legislature, will be brought
TO the attention OF Nenanaltes at
an early date, according to the
members Of the local advisory
board, whose terms will expire at
about the time the new law be-
comes effective
In response to telegram of
inquiry regarding the new law,
Townsite Manager Carl Schmidt has
been informed by Governor Riggs
that the home rule bill received
final approval on May 3. and be-
comes effective ninety days after
that date. or on August 8. The
law was printed in full in the issue
Of The Nenana News of June Is.
Townsite Manager Schmidt will
attend the meeting of the Com
nercial club tonight for the pur-
pose Of explaining the law and
ascertaining the views of the mem.
bers regarding compliance with it.
The new law applies only to
those towns along the government
railroad which are under the jur-
isdiction of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission, and the trustees
elected may make laws, collect
taxes, and otherwise regulate the
affairs Of the town, so long as they
do nothing in conflict with the
commissions regulations for town
management.
The advisory board elected by
the voters of Nenana last year acts
merely in an advisory capacity,
without authority 10 do any of the
things enumerated in the new law.

abandon operations later.
On June 10, shortly after the
partial subsistence of the high water
in the Tanana river, the body of
Mrs. Sterling was found in an eddy
about three miles above town,
which, after Identification and in
quest, was shipped to Fairbanks,
where the funeral services were
held, and interment took place at
the Fairbanks cemetery.
Yesterday, at about noon, the
body of Charles Craig was found
as previously stated in these col
umns
The theory is advanced that the
Flyer, which may have been held
by the anchor ice at the bottom of
the river, has now been released
and that the bodies found may have
floated off from it. There is a
possibility that the bodies of the
Hungry Kid and the rest of the
passengers may yet be recovered
if a search for them was made
along the sloughs and slack waters
in the river below the Twelve-mile
bar, on which, all accounts agree.
