NENANA NEWS T0LDIN SHORT
 PARAGRAPHS

NENANA, Feb. 3.-A movement for spike driving celebration, con- memorating the completion of the government railroad from Seward to Nenana, is under way in Nenana, and it is hoped soon to have all the towns along the railroad co-operat- ing to make the celebration one of the real big events in the history of Alaska The matter was taken up with District Storekeeper Manning, by Dr. J. R. Bowen, president of the Nenana Commercial Club, and through him, with F. A. Hansen, engineer maintenance and construction, who has expressed an enthusiastic desire to cooperate in every way possible.
 No plans have been formulated as yet, beyond the suggestion that the Pioneers be given the honor of directing the ceremony of driving the golden spike, and asked to assist in such other arrangements as may be made in connection with the cele- bration.
 It has been suggested that the cele- bration be held soon as the Riley Creek viaduct is completed, which will mark the closing of the last gap in the railroad between Seward and Nenana. If that date is decided upon, haste will be necessary, as the viaduct will be ready for the rails this month.
 Harry Capp, well known Oldtimer of the Kantishna, left for San Fran cisco and will remain in the states until spring, visiting with relatives

BIG DOG NOW HAVING
 HIS DAY IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Nov. 24.-"Every dog has his day." runs the old adage, and in England this is certainly the day of the big dog
 The "Peke," the "Pom" and the Yorkshire terrier are no longer fash ionable The Irish terrier, the Al satian wolfdog and the bulldog reign in, their stead At recent dog show, where there were over 4,000 entries, more than two-thirds were of the sheepdog and St. Bernard types.
 The reason given for this decline in the affections for the "Pekes" and "Poms" is that they need too much care and fuss, while the larger dogs generally knows how to take care of itself
 Among breeders the opinion pre- vails that the "toy" dogs will never come back into public favor again.
