FOR IBITY’5 CELEBRATION
The Fourth of July celebration in Idita
rod this year promises to be an event note
worthy in the annals of patriotic observ
ances in the district. For a time it looked
as though not enough interest could be
awakened to make the proposed festivities
a success or to raise sufficient funds. At
the latter part of last week, however, the
finance committee of the general Fourth of
July committee got busy, and as a result
enough funds were procured to insure the
success of the celebration in record time.
The members of the committee Messrs.
Ramps Peterson, Percy Charles, Henry O.
Roden and Jimmie Farrell are certainly
live wires when it comes to getting the
money. The enthusiasm of the committee
was infectious, and all of those approached
seemed to become inoculated with it and
to become at once ardent boosters for the
celebration. As a result the people of the
district are assured of a celebration of the
republic’s natal day on a scale never before
attempted here. It is going to be a regular
old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration,
with sports, oratory, music and dancing,
and, as an added feature, a novelty in the
shape of a moving picture show. Every
thing is to be free, and the glaring posters
adorning the public places and dead walls
of the camps admonish the people to “leave
your pokes at home.”
The Program
The program will consist of water sports
of various kinds, such as boat races, canoe
races, gasoline boat contests, swimming
and diving competitions, etc., running,
jumping, vaulting and shot-putting for
men; various contests for women, such as
running, an egg and spoon race, rope-skip
ping and nail driving, and the youngsters
will be given the time of their young lives.
.Judge f uller wired the committee from
Ruby accepting for Assistant District Attor
noy Gardner the invitation to deliver the
Fourth of July oration. Judge Fuller will
introduce the speaker, who is said to be
an orator of much ability. A rousing ad
dress is looked for—one in which the eagle
is made to scream, and in which the lion s
tail is given the regulation tweak—one that
will arouse patriotic ardor and enthusiasm
and give vent to the feelings of pride and
jubilation in the privilege of being part and
parcel of the “land of the free and the home
of the brave,” and all of the patriotic and
bombastic sentiments which are permissible
on the republic’s great holiday, if evoked
on no other occasion.
The Picture Show
A motion picture show as part of a
Fourth of July celebration is somewhat of
an innovation, but as this form of enter
tainment has nof been common in this
camp, it will no doubt find favor with
all. Professor Drapeau has some films
especially adaptable to the occasion, and it
is expected that this will be a popular fea
ture of the celebration.
The Dance
After the picture show the beautiful and
commodiou.' A. B. hall ui'd be cleared for

Moose Lodge Has 400
Fairbanks Lodge No. 1392, Loyal Order
of Moose, has a membership now of more
than 400. The 400 mark was passed
at the last meeting of the lodge, when
twenty-eight new members were initiated.
More members have since been added on
the creeks, and now it is planned to double
the present membership before July 4,
and to make it reach the 1,000 mark by
the time snow flies.
Pay of School Teachers Reduced
In selecting new teachers recently the
Fairbanks school board lowered the salaries
of grade teachers from $175 to $150 a
month. This means a saving of about
$1,125 a year, it is announced.
Professor F. X. Karrar, who has been
principal of the Nome school for three
years, was elected principal of the Fair
banks school. He will be assisted by the
following: George Bevier, Misses Vanda R.
Coffey, Camille Paddock, Sarah Hayden,
Anna M. Karrar and Florence G. Smith.
The new teachers are nearly all from
Seattle, and are highly recommended. Miss
Karrar is a sister of the new principal.
Commission to Secure Men at Fairbanks
That the engineering commission in
charge of survey work for the government
railroad intends to stick to the announced
policy of hiring all the Alaskans possible
was demonstrated recently, when George
Coleman received a wire from Thomas
Riggs, Jr„ asking if poling boats, men to
propel them and assistants for the survey
ors could be obtained in Fairbanks. The
wire was answered to the effect that all
the boats and help necessary could be se
cured in Fairbanks, The wire stated that
the government would not pay more than
S75 per month and board, and asked if the
men could be employed here for that'
amount. It is the intention of the com
mission to freight supplies to the head of
the Nenana river in poling boats, and it is
for this work that the men are wanted.
Want’s Physician’s Resignation

BLACK BEAR NEAR THE C!TY
On c,.n,’.p- morning last, as Hen- W-r
and Billy Mitchell were wending their way
towards Caribou creek for a few hours fish -
ing, their two dogs stirred up a young black
bear a short distance beyond the cemetery.
As neither of the fisherman had a gun
along, the cub and its hide are -till intact.
All of which goes to show what a nice, quiet
community we have here—even bears can
! approach our town without realizing they
are near a great city.
