ELKS SCORE SUCCESS
 AT NEW YEAR'SB BALL

The EIks of Nenana scored a distinct social triumph on Saturday night, on the occasion Of their first annual ball. The affair was the most brilliant ever witnessed in Nenana and set a new standard for enter tainments of that character. The decorations were both elaborate and artistic, the ladies were beautifully gowned, the music was the best ever heard in Nenana, the lunch was most substantial and appetising and the holiday spirit was in the air There was not a lull, not a dis appointment, and so thoroughly did the crowd enjoy itself thar it was with difficulty that the dance was finally brought to a close, after the orchestra had played al least a dozen dances more than the pro gram called for.
 Everyone in town appeared 10 be present and there were in addition a number of visitors from Fairbanks and points along the line. The hall was crowded with dancers, but not too crowded for enjoyment. And there were men enough on hand to see that all of the ladies were on the floor for every dance.
 Programs were handed 10 the ar rivals as they entered the door and the dancing started early. At eleven o'clock Captain C. G. Jones gave the Elk's toast and immediately afterward the dancers formed in line for the grand march, which was led by Mayor and Mrs. R. G. Southworth. Serpentine was distri-
 bured among the marchers, this be ing the signal for a merry war which continued gracefully until the hall was aglow with the bright col
 DTS, hanging gracefully from the ceiling decorations and piled knee deep on the floor. *.. :-.
 The decorations were beautiful By means of wires, a lattice work ceiling, several feet below the main
 ceiling, had been fashioned with purple and white strips Of crepe pa- per. 4 large star, with a fringe of tiny colored lights and a large light in the center, was suspended from the center of the ceiling, ard the walls were frightened with greens
 and the colors of the order, with q
 profusion of American flags in yer

.ous parts of the hall. The banquet room, down stairs, also vas decor ated elaborately, the work of the decorators being most pleasing. hundred or more purple balloons suspended from the lattice work ceiling and along the walls of the hall, were a most effective part of the decorative system.
 It is hard to say who was respon- sible for the splendid showing made. Captain Jones and Engineer John J. Kestley were both very active in planning the decorations and su- pervising the work, but all the Elks had a hand in it, many of them devoting days of their time to the work. It was the same with the music, the refreshments and every thing else connected with the dance. The music was g delightful sur- prise to the dancers and a credit to those composing the large or
  chestra. The music was without question the best ever heard in Nenana and it is doubtful if there is a town in Alaska which can boast more tuneful organization. All the music was late and snappy and the time was perfect s. L. Whitford and Lloyd White were the committee and part of the orchestra the former playing cornet and the latter the banjo. The others were Mir. and Mrs. F. o. Robinson, violins; Mrs. W. 4. Coghill, piano E. C. Rau, saxaphone; B. ". Miller cornet, Frank Young, drums
 Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Fischer and Mrs. R. W. Calderhead were the re- freshment committee, and they were ably assisted by Chef Ed Monroe, of the 4. E. C. mess and a score of other willing workers. The lunch was very complete, consisting of sandwiches, fruit salad, coffeee and cake, and light punch was served in addition, in the main hall through out the evening.
 Other committees contributing 10 the success of the dance were as follows:
 Decorations-J. J. Kestley, C. C. Jones and Charles Sheldon. Invitations-R. Lucason and Charles Wilson.
 Floor-G. B. Buhman, Al Clarno and R. B. Norris.
