MAIL LAUNCH ARRIVES;
 REPORTS SLOW VOYAGE

The mail launch Pelican reached Nenana at 10 o'clock last night, and Jim Moore, who assisted in bringing the craft up river, reports very slow voyage on account of engine trouble. The launch was met here by the Moore launch from Fair banks, and started back down river this morning with several sacks of mail for the lower river.
 The Moore launch, which was brought down during the night by J. G. Moore, Jr, started on the re- turn voyage to Fairbanks this morn ing, but met with a mishap and was compelled to put back to port for repairs.

MEMORIAL RITES
 FOR NENANA DEAD SUNDAY AT 1:3O

Arrangements have been com pleted for the holding of general memorial services in Nenana tomor- row afternoon for those who passed away during the recent epidemic of influenza. The services are to be held at the Coliseum, commencing at 80, after which special train will make the trip out to the ceme tery in order that those desiring to do so may place flowers on the graves of departed relatives and friends. The service at the ceme- tery, if any at all, will be very brief.
 The service at the Coliseum will consist of memorial address by Rev. Robert Joseph Diven and mu- sical program which has been ar ranged by Miss Luella Shaffer. The entire program, it is estimated, will consume about an hour. The train will leave town between ? 80 and 5 and should be back again in a little more than an hour, figuring half an hour out and half an hour return ing.
 For the convenience of those who will visit the cemetery, a path has been cut through the brush between the track and the cemetery, which is only short distance and on dry ground. ....-. ......
 It has been impossible for the commission to complete the work of preparing headboards for the new graves, so that not all of the graves will be permanently marked by to- morrow. The work is being done as rapidly as possible, however, and the boards will be put in place with in the very near future
 Everyone is invited to attend the services at the Coliseum, and it is believed that a large number will avail themselves of the opportunity to pay their respects to the dead of Nenana in that manner.

CHICAGO, June 12.-1he Seven lteenth Republican National conven- Ition practically came to close at la late hour this afternoon, when Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio was given the nomination for the presidency on the tenth ballot, fol- lowing one of the hardest fought political battles in the history of national conventions.
 The break in the strength of the l Big Three - Wood, Lowden and Johnson-came when Harding jump ed from S9 in the sixth ballot to 1O5 In the seventh. The eighth bal | lot showed further gain of 2Sl2 votes, giving the Ohio senator third
 place, with Lowden leading with 1 BOT and Wood second with 299.
 At the end of that ballot there was strong Harding tide apparent, his gains being chiefly at the expense
 of Wood.
 [ At this juncture, amid confusion
 and protest, the convention recessed at four o'clock, Chicago time, to [ ll %o fhot shattered forces. It was too late to
 stop the landslide, and while the ses- sion was still in recess, former Gov
 ernor Willis of Ohio announced that
 ''It will be Harding as soon as we
 come back" It was soon noised
 about that the Missouri delegation
 intended to go over to Harding, and
 at the same time it was reported
 that Kansas would take similar ac- tion, and perhaps Pennsylvania. Senator Penrose had previously mo- tified the Pennsylvania delegation that the nomination of Harding
 would not be dispfeasing to him.
 During the recess, Ohio and other delegates f1ocked to the Harding
 hotel rooms and headquarters and
 overwhelmed the senator with con-
 gratulations, all of which he pro-
 tested were premature. Colonel Proctor conferred with
 Lowden and it was reported that the Wood and Lowden adherents
 were planning to pool their strength for the purpose of stemming or blocking the firm drift to Harding. Efforts were also made to induce Johnson to consent to accept the
 nomination for the vice-presidency,
 in the interest of party harmony. |, Negro delegates, representing all
 put three HeSTO NoleS, Sdhcu oii Senator Harding during the recess, obtained a satisfactory statement
 from him, and later threw their strength of 55 votes to him.
 Senators Shoot and New and Harry s. Barnes of New York got together, it is said, for the purpose of launching a drive for the unani- nous nomination of Harding. Seventh Ballot.

CLUB WILL URGE SECRETARY PAYNE
 ID HELP ALASKA

Convinced that immediate and
 drastic action of some sort must be
 takent by the Government to check
 the movement of oldtimers from In-
 terior Alaska and to attract new
 people to the country, the Nenan. Commercial club, at regular meet
 ing held last night, voted to apprise
 Secretary of the Interior Payne by
 wire of existing conditions and urge his assistance in saving the country from depopulation The club is aware that Alaskan affairs are now receiving the consideration of the
 special committee which recently held hearings at Seattle, and that the interior department and mem bers of Congress are desirous of speeding the development of the Territory, but the proposed reforms. lit is feared. will not arrive in time to be of benefit to those oldtimers lw-ho have pioneered the way for fu-
 ture territorial greatness. The club believes that the seriousness of the situation in Interior Alaska is not known at Washington, and the wire ito Secretary Payne will point out that something must be done imme- diately if the railroad, which the iGovernment is spending millions to construct, is 70 be of any use after it is completed. ~:- ~.::.. Copies of the wire to Secretary
 Payne will be sent to Representa-
 tive Charles F, Curry of California, who is one of Alaska's foremost champions at the national capital; to Senator Key Pittman, who is | former Alaskan, and possibly to oth- .ers who have displayed friendly interest in the welfare of the Terri tory.
 The wire will point out, among other things, that there are not now nearly enough men in the Interior to carry on the important work of railroad building on anything like
 the scale it should be done; and that the railroad forces are being ldisorganized by the departure of oldtimers-men who are real asset to the countrywide are leaving the employ of the Alaskan Engineering commission because of the failure of the commission to make employ iment on the railroad sufficiently at ltractive. And it will be shown that the entire railroad project is seri- ously menaced by conditions which have been permitted to develop since the work of building the road was started.
 The campaign which has been in- augurated by the club has two ob- Ijects. One is to get immediate remedial action-something that will turn the tide of travel to Interior Alaska instead of away from 1t. And the other is to speed the con struction of the railroad, upon the early completion of which the future prosperity of Interior Alaska de- bends as much as upon any other one thing.
