 The selection of Mir. O'Connor was made at meeting held at the offices of pr. J. H. Romig on Thurs day evening for the purpose of ar ranging for the reception of Col onel and Mrs. Mears. It was pointed out by several of those present that an early start should be made in launching the Fourth of July cele- bration plans and the suggestion

NENANAITES BID FAREWELL
 TO RETIRING R. R. CHIEF

There was large and representa- tive gathering of Nenanaites at Un- ion hall last night to pay their res poets to Colonel and Mrs. Frederick Mears, who were honor guests at farewell reception and dance. The affair was arranged by a joint com mittee representing the town and the Alaskan Engineering Commission and was thoroughly enjoyed by all attending.
 During the course of the evening Mayor Frank Teufel delivered a brief address expressing apprecia- tion of the friendly interest shown in Nenana by Colonel Mears fol- lowing his assumption of personal supervision over the Northern di- vision, and at the conclusion of the address the mayor presented the guests of honor with mem entos of the happy occasion, the colonel receiving a gold Alaska charm, set with diamond, and Mrs. Mears native ivory necklace.
 Colonel Mears responded feelngly he said he hoped the things that had been done for Nenana during the time he was in charge of the af- fairs of the Alaskan Engineering Commission would bring permanent benefit to the community and he expressed the belief that Nenana had bright future ahead of it. The colonel referred briefly to his re- tirement as directing head of the Alaska Railroad, saying merely that he had been directed by the war de- partment to report elsewhere for duty and that was ali there was to it. The colonel said he was proud of the fact that he had been made an honorary member of the P;on- eers of Alaska and expressed the hope that he and Mrs. Mears would find it possible at some future time to return to the territory for real outing.
 Colonel and Mrs. Mears came down from Fairbanks yesterday af- ternoon and left for the coast last night, the regular train being held three hours for their convenience. They plan to leave for the States on the Northwestern and will make their home at the Presidio, San after brief vacation trip to Southern California.

Working overtime, an illicit still, of unknown ownership at present, located in the one-story frame building adjoining the Seattle hotel on the west, on Fifth street, ,Anch- orage, exploded Tuesday afternoon and set fire to the building. The fire alarm was turned in at 3:41 and in short time the Anchorage fire department had two streams of water playing on the flames. Due to the combustible material the flames made quick headway. The building was practically doomed when the fremen arrived, and eff orts were successfully centered on saving the Seattle hotel and other adjoining buildings.

met with unanimous approval, fol- lowed by the choice of MT. O'Connor as general chairman with instruc- tions to get busy immediately.
 Captain C. c. Jones stated that many men would be at work along 1 the railroad close to Nenana during the summer and that probably all of them would desire to spend the Fourth here. The usual arrange ments, he said. would be made to bring the men to town to attend the celebration, and he estimated that the crowd would be larger than that of last year.
 Prof. A. B. Phillips informed the committee that steps are under way for the organization of a regular band, nearly dozen players already having been lined up. He thought the organization would be in a position by the Fourth to provide excellent music for the celebration. At the present time there are more players than instruments in the com munity.
 Efforts are to be made to round up all the ball players in Nenana and vicinity with view to having team ready for the celebration and additional games during the re- mainder of the season.
 The attention of the committee was called to the fact that an air plane will be available for the cele- bration if a sufficient guarantee can be arranged and landing field provided. The city council already has the landing field question under consideration and it is thought the other arrangements can be made without difficulty.
 The News is in receipt of a let ter from W F. Thompson editor of the Fairbanks News Miner, in which he says Nenana is being offered the first chance any Alaska town has ever had for first class airplane stunting. The plan is to give Nenana the third, fourth, fifth and sixth of July, and Fairbanks the eleventh. twelfth and thirteenth. Nenana can have the feature for $500 and a clear field for the celebration. De- tails of the offer are contained in a letter addressed to Mayor Frank Teufel.

Black and Orange Warriors Await
Invasion of Red and White Hosts
CONY IS READY

The Cony High boys of Augusta
will line up at o'clock today on
Quimby field at Gardiner prepared
TO play the game of .neir lives.
Thoroughly displaaseo- with the mis-
cradle showing that they made at
Lewiston last week the Cony boys
have put in a good hard week of
conscientious practice and will face
Gardiner today prepared to play their
best brand of football.
Coach Thompson has worked hard
with his men all the week in an eff
fort to iron out some of the weak
ne 'es which the Cony men showed
at Lewiston. Niies, who has been
playing a fine game all the season
will not be in the lineup today as
he was seriously injured in the game
with Lewiston. Hayden, who has
also been running his team in fine
the game today. Gardiner who is
not in the best of shape will be On
han1 to enter the game if necessary.
The spirit shown by the Cony men
this week is far better than they
have shown at any time during the
season and they are certainly max
ing a heroic effort to redeem some
of the poor showings they have
made during the season.
Charlie POor, captain OF the Cony
team. who has been out of the game
for time with bad shoulder will
be on the field today to pilot the team
taking the place of Wilson Hayden,
who plays quarterback.
Interest among the students and
Alumni is very keen, especially as
it is the one chance the local boys
have to wipe out the seasons defeat.
Coupled with this and the usual an
cient rivalry the game today should
make one of the most keenly fought
contests of the entire season and the
entire school looks upon the game as
the climax of the football year.
Cony and Gardiner will face each
other on about even terms. Both
teams are about of the same weight,
and Gardiner has no advantage in
the seasons record.
Cony supporters are of the BELIEF
that the Red and White can play q
far better brand of football than 1T
has yet done and they expect it to
flash that superior play today.
large delegation of Cony students and
supporters will go to Gardiner today
and the spirit, despite the disappoint-
ments of the season is very high.
