COSTUME HIGH SCHOOL
PLAY TO CONFORM WITH
STORY OF BETHLEHEM"

The nativity play, 1.-The Story OF
Bethlehem" which is to be presented
on Sunday Afternoon, Deceber IS, at
1880 o'clock at the, Ottawa High
school promises to be one of the most
beautiful and impressive Of the
Christmas services to be seen In OF.
tawa this holiday season. 1t is filled
with the Yuletide songs and choruses
Of Medieval times. These melodies
have been complied by Mari Roeuf
Hofer and the collection as a piece
of musical restoration is a work in
art.
Special efforts are being taken to
costume the play after the traditional
pictures Of the shepherds. the angels,
the wise men and the Holy Family.
Unique lighting effects tend to add
to the realism of the scenes. The
students taking part in the production
are entering into the spirit of the
story with notable ability. From be.
ginning to the end one seems to, feel
that he Is not witnessing a play but
participating in religious service Of
impressive character.
The proceeds of Sunday afternoon
are to be added to the fund which the
high school is raising for the starving
children of Armenia and the WORTH
ness of this cause Is an added reason
why the school auditorium should be
filled to overlooking next Sunday.

MATERIAL IS BEING HAULED FOR NEW ROOSEVELT ROAD

The Bartlett teams which are at work in the Kantishna district haul ing ore from the Aitken mine to the river landing at Roosevelt, will also be used to distribute corduroy along the new summer road. for use in bridging the swampy places, ac- cording to Ed Bartlett, who arrived in Nenana last night. Mir. Bartlett brought seven horses out with him and shipped them to Healy from Kantishna station, and left six head of stock in the Kantishna to finish the work there The horses which were shipped to Healy will be used by the Alaskan Engineering com mission. -.-..
 The suspension of the Aitken mining operations found Mir. Bart lett with more hoses on his hands than he could use to advantage, and with a number of new trail buildings and freighting equipment which will be of no further value until other Kantishna lodges are brought to the shipping stage of development Mir. Bartlett is of the opinion that the district will not suffer greatly in consequence of the withdrawa of Aitken. There are many gooc Hedges there, he says, and severa , of them will be on shipping basi; within short time. J. A. Haney al ready has considerable ore read! to go to the smelter and the new Quigley ledge is being developed ] in a manner that insures steady stream of ore later on. Quigley ha: 1 erected buildings on the properl. and is doing his development worl in a most thorough manner. Hane! has one man working with hlm a
 present. ......-.
 As soon as the summer road ha
 been put in shape for travel, it vii
 be possible to haul ore and othe1 supplies during the summer as wei
 as winter, in the opinion of MT
 Bartlett. The road is somewhat long
 CT than the winter road between
 Roosevelt and Moose creek, but j
 is on high ground the greater par
 of the way.
