FIRST DEATHS
 0N RAILROAD
 ARE REPORTED
TWO ENGINEERING COMMISSION EMPLOYEES DROWNED
 IN NENANA RIVER.

At late hour last evening no word had been received at the local office of the Alaskan Engineering commission regarding the details of the drowning of Pat McHugh and George McFaun last Thursday AS soon as he received word of the drowning, Commissioner Thomas Riggs, Jr., hastened to Nenana in the James Moore launch, and is di- reCting the search for the bodies of the drowned men in person,
 Word of the drowning was con tained in a wire received here last Friday from Assistant Engineer Ryus, that the men had been drowned
 i've miles above the 35 mile cross ing of the Nenana river, while they were moving camp. Tom Savage. who has been doing the hunting for the survey parties, was the only witness to the accident He reported the occurrence immediately to En- gineer Weir, who started a man to Nenana with the news, and a search for the bodies and the boat was in stituted
 Both men were hired here last spring by the Engineering commis sion. McHugh was a well known old timer. having spent the past r years of his life in the north His friends give his age as 54 years He is survived by a widow, Mrs Mary McHugh, of Fondulac, Wisconsin.
 McFaun came to Alaska last spring from Victoria, B. c. On the records of the commission he is stated to be 26 years of age and his nearest relative Is given as Mrs. W. McFaun, mother, of Victoria.
 The Engineering commission i'm mediately wired the news of the deaths to the former homes of the drowned men, In reply they have received telegrams asking that the remains, if recovered, be sent to their respective homes. Whether or not this will be done at the expense of the commission has not been de cided but a message has been sent to the Secretary of the Interior, asking for his approval of such ac- tion.
 One of the messages received here was from Congressman James c. Good of Iowa It relates to Me Hugh's death, and asks that all par ticulars be forwarded. Other wires relating to McHugh's death have also been received from his wife and from his brother and sister.

ALASKAN RAILROADS.

The government of the United States has recently appropriated $35,000, ,00O to build railroads in Alas "a. No on, supposes that, for a long time at least, the business done 5y those railroads will be profitable or pay interest on the investment In fact, it is because they won't pay that the government is building them Private capital cant invest without a fair certainty of interest or profits.

FIFTY YEARS AFTER.

The Grand Army Of the Republic Is to hold an encampment in Wash ington the latter part of this month. Half century ago the victorious soldiers of the Union returned iron. the front after four years of fight. ing against a worthy foe. Thou sands upon thousands of the veter aus marched along Pennsylvania avenue in Washington. D. C.. in one of the greatest reviews of military history. This month the Union sol diers, all that is left of them. :" will march along the avenue once more.
 It is said to be probable that the Grand Army, after the gathering in Washington, will never hold another great encampment Age is conquerins the bodies while it is powerless to O. ercome the spirits of the veter, ans. During four years the Union soldiers served their country in war and during fifty years they have been serving it in peace.
 The Gettysburg reunion, in 1913, which brought together the soldiers of the North and South. was a scene of forgetting without regretting. It probably could be duplicated in no other land than this. This time the Union veterans marching through the main avenue of the capital of the nation will be reviewed by President born in one of the states that gave it's heart and strength to secession. Today he is the President of the men of the Grand Army and of the men of the armies which they fought. He is the President of the United States, with the ac- cent on the United

Check for Bank
 Property Arrives

District Attorney k. F. Roth was in receipt of a letter from Washing ton. D. C., on the last mail, enclos ing check for the purchase by the government of the Washington Alaska bank building. The deal however, according to the statement of MT. Roth on Saturday, will not be consummated yet, as there arc l number of details to be arranged
 The title to the property yet re mains to be cleared up to some Jed claims upon it. The depart ment has also suggester in the let ter to Mr. Roth that an additional description of the property in the Iced would be acceptable. MT. Roth thinks that the department would not have asked for the additional description if 1t had known that Receiver F. G. Moves is now on the Outside and he is therefore making IiiS dttVIlPl lO udFC luc pIopcl lS pass title to the government as quickly as possible To that end he is wiring the department, appris- ing it that MT, Moves is now Out side and that title cannot pass un- der the suggestion contained in the letter without involving considerable delay. MT. Roth is now very busy in court, but states that he will give his undivided attention to the matter of the transfer as soon as ne has time.
 Delegate Wickersham states that he is now almost certain that he can get an appropriation for new federal building here, but is not certain that he will make a move ment to do so as yet. He states that he must first observe condi- tions at Washington in order that he may be sure of the attitude of the department on such proposi- ton. He also states that if Fair banks is to have a new federal build ing, he must, as the delegate from Alaska, have the cooperation of all of the federal officials here.

Fred Haggren Has
 Grouse Breakfast

Fred Haggren, of the natatorium, was going home last Saturday morn ing about , o'clock, very tired from his labors. He had worked all night cleaning up the big swimming tank for the crowd of people which he expected that day, and on account of the expected crowd, he failed to see where he was going to get more than two hours sleep. There fore he did not feel any too good.
 However, as he was walking along First avenue considering things in general, he heard a whr of wings over his head and, looking up, saw grouse entangled in the electric wires. Soon MT. Grouse fell to the ground stunned and it was then that a big smile came on MT flag sren's face, for he saw grouse breakfast coming up after those two hours sleep.

Stamm Editing
 Laundry Paper

The Pacific Laundryman" is the title of paper which is now being edited at Seattle by Albert G Stamm, well known in Fairbanks as newspaper man. A copy of the National Convention number of the publication was received on the last mail by The Citizen. It is very creditable in every respect and is highly illustrated, particularly with pictures of the best known of the coast laundrymen.
 While in Fairbanks MT. Stamm re ported on the local papers. He after ward went to Panama, where he pub lished a paper for short time and then went Outside. For the past three years he has been the Sc attle correspondent for The Citizen and his faithtulness in that regard an be attested to by a glance at the telegraphic page of this publication avery Monday morning.
 In all of the time that MT, Stamm has been the correspondent for this paper, The Citizen has never been "scooped,' That is, the paper al ways received the news of its time when it should have received it. Mr Stamm also makes a particularly good spondent for the reason side of many stories which do not appear in other local publications
 A glance at "The Pacific Laundry man" testifies to MT Stamm's abili- ty as a newspaper man. His sue cess in his chosen line is predicted

THE NATIONS PREPAREDNESS

The present war has proved that one of the essential things is ore paredness-to have the necessary resources. to have the chemicals the minerals. the metals. the benZol which is the foundation of high eN- picsiyes. the copper. which is in dispensable fer the casing of shells
 nd for the manufacture of ammu- hilton; the gasoline that flies the tirships and runs the submarines and without which the entire automobil 3 transport of armies would break down
 There is no country in the wide world that is as rich in natural resources as the United States. and no country that can prepare itself for self defense so easily or so quickly. and no country that. having -irded up its Joins for the fight. can be as formidable as the United
 ates.
 We have in the United States every mineral that is needed for tho production of high explosives not n warehouses. but in our own soil. This continent is the great reservoir ,f the nations. They have drawn Dn us for years for their raw ma teriaL If the United States were locked up tomorrow and shut of completely from the rest of the world, we could not only raise ar army of 12OOO,O0O men. but wn could fashion rifles and cartridges and machine guns; We could make great cannon and explosive shells We could manufacture automobiles for their transportation and supply them with our own gasoline; we nould manufacture airships and sup ply them with our gasoline; We could manufacture submarines and supply them with cur own gasoline and equip them with our own electric batteries; we could supply every thing from the smallest detail Of the uniform to the most elaborate trenCh-digging machines, and if our foe resOrted to unfair or inhumane methods We could make our own liquid fire projectors and poisonous gases and then go him one better by introducing electricity as an ir esistible weapon of defense.
 We have not only the raw materi- al. but also the inventive genius and the constructive ability to put them to the best use.
 There are in the patent offices n Washington, original patents fov every engine of destruction with which Europe is carrying on the present War-inventions that have made possible the dreadnought, the airship, the submarine, the rapid fire guns, the liquid fire projectors and the poisonous gases which go to make up the equipment of the great armies of Europe.
 And what is more to the point, We have the men who are skilled ir warfare and the wealth to carry any debate to a successful issue.

LET'S BOOST.

Lets all get In and boost for a IL has been a possibility for long time now, owing to the efforts of Delegate Wickersham, but it has never been an actual probability until the present time. The delegate himself states that the prospects for new building were never bright templating trying to get an appro- priation of $250,000 for it at the next session of congress-
 The delegate asserts, however, that he needs the cooperation of all of the citizens of Fairbanks in his eff fort, particularly that of the local federal officials. And he should have it, for it is a well known fact that 'in union there is strength"
 Differences of opinion along politi cal or other lines, should make no difference now that the welfare of the camp is at stake to the extent of S25O,000. Adherents of all parties and creeds should forget such diff ferences when by uniting they might accomplish something, let the credit for doing so fall where it may.
 Lay aside all politics for time and try general unity of purpose just once. The government has now practically completed the pur- chase of a building which. added to the site of the present federal building, would be adequate for fed eral uses for many years to come. Would 1t not be to the benefit of the camp generally if the appropria-
