NENANA.—At a largely attended
meeting held in the drafting room of
the general office building of the Al
Askun engineering commission here
on Wednesday evening, preliminary
steps were taken toward forming an
army engineer company, for service
in the states or elsewhere in the evetft
of war.
The meeting was called to order by
Thos. Riggs, jr., member of the Al
askan engineering commission, who
explained briefly the manner of or
ganization and the status of such a
company in the army. He said that
Nenana was the first town in the ter
ritory to anticipate a call for volnn
teers, and that he hoped to see Alaska
first among the units to be accepted,
for he felt that northerners would
prove invaluable to the army. He ex
plained further that it would be im
possible to do more than organize at
this time, since it would require con
siderable time to train and otherwise
prepare for service.
Riggs said that he stood ready to
give up his position to enter the ser
vice of his country as a member of
the proposed company, and numerous
others of those present expressed
themselves in like manner, a spirit ot
intense patriotism prevailing through
out the meeting.
When the list was presented for
signature eighty-seven put their
names down, and several have signed
the roster since, bringing the total up
to 91. The list will be kept open un
til the full quota of lf>0 names have!
been secured.
Immediately following the meet
ing Riggs wired Secretary of War
Baker offering the services of the new
company, but no reply has as yet been
received.—(Nenana News.)

AN OPPORTUNITY
I have received instructions to soli j
all the portrait negatives and certain j
equipment and furniture of the Alex
ander photographic studio. A list of
the articles for sale will be found at;
the Seward Drug store, Hettel’s, and !
Brown & Hawkins.
The late Clyde Alexander was a
portrait photographer of the first
rank. He was chief operator for
James & Bushnell of Seattle, for
seven years, and during his career
won several medals at different ex
positions.
There are only two studios on'the
coast that approach the quality of
his work, and a negative taken and re
touched by him is worth having. By
having the negative you can have any
number of prints made from it by any ]
ordinary photographer at low cpst. j
The negatives of a studio are its capi- ,
tal and are never sold except under *
the present condition, and this oppor- -
tunity you should not miss. To get
the negatives of the picture you had
taken, communicate with D. C.
Brownell, before April l, 1917.
