 ERWIN QUARREL


 FAIRBANKS, Dec. 15. - There is considerable controversy here regard ing reports from Delegate James Wickersham and United States Mar shal l.. T. Erwin concerning tue de- clslou of the government to start rail. road work from Nenana Instead Of Fairbanks. Each accuse the other of knocking. Wickersham men here oc' cuse Marshal Erwin of being a but lnsky." alleging that he was called Go Washington to answer charges against him and not as O representative of tho people. Friends of Marshal Erwin say that his only participation in the railroad controversy was to seel, Co have the decision Co begin work at Nenana and not at Fairbanks changed. They also allege that Delegate Wick ersham was not watching the game In the interest of the people, or he would have known in time 10 in- tercede in behalf of Fairbanks be- fore the decision was made.

 Dispatches from Washington say that Delegate Wlckersham has de- ciared that antagonism of District Attorney W. N. Spence to certain Guggenheim interests at Valdez is be- hind the charges that have been made against him by the Democrats of tho Third Division

INTERIOR RAILWAY WORK IS TO BE
 FROM NENANA

SEATTLE Dec. S.--Fairbanks, the
 lterlor metropolis of Alaska which 3sands to win SO much by the con i.ructlon Of a government railroad In the Territory, win be temporarily crippled next summer by on agency which 1t was expected would greatly benefit that city. says J. J. Under wood in the Seattle Times.
 Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, according to dispatch rom the Times correspondent at Wash ington. this morning Informed Dele gate James Wickersham, AiaskQ'a Alaska's representative In Congress, that the Alaska engineering commia- sion will begin construction of the road from two new points, one from Seward extending northwards, and the other from the mouth of the Ne mana river southward to tho Nenana coal fields. The mouth of the Nenana is about sixty miles below Fairbanks, and there is no doubt that large DOT ton of the Fairbanks population will stampede to the new city which will there be established.
 The secretary intlmated to Judge Wickersham that the construction from the Nenana river to Fairbanks will be undertaken later. The work on the section of road from Anchor age to the Matanuska coal fields will be continued.
 While Fairbanks may receive a tenn porary setback by this plan it will hasten the time when the interior country win benefit from railroad com struction as the thing that Is badly needed in Fairbanks development is cheap fuel and ths will be supplied from the Nenana fields
 The construction of the short piece of road to connect this field with river transportation on Che Panama. according to ithe estimate of the AL aska Engineering Commission will be S225.000 This is part of the approp- riation of approximately S9,00O,OOO which win be asked for by Secretary Lane.
 The estimates submitted to Con- gress contemplate the construction of the road to the Matanuska coal fields, but whether this will be finished next year. is dependent upon the time when the money becomes available. # no appropriation is made until the civil sundry bin passes work will be suspended this winter.

ICE AT ANCHORAGE
 BLOCKS BRIGHTER

SEWARD. Dec. 10.-Although liar bormaster Locke and others sent from Anchorage by Lieut. Frederick Mears of the Alaska Engineering Commis. sion to Investigate ice conditions ot Goose Bay across Cook Inlet from Anchorage. reported that the ice there was not as thick as at Anchor age. the Alaska Steamship company refused to send the big freighter Sew ard there to unload.
 Locke reported that tho steamship could break her way through the ice to the cannery wharf at Goose Bay, but the company officials said that the fec field below Anchorage, where the foes from Knik arm and Turn again Arm meet, would endanger the safety of the vessel. The ice in Turn again Arm was reported heavier than at any other time in the last five years
 The Seward Is discharglng here her entire cargo of railroad material and supplies for the government construc- ton camp at Anchorage As a result Anchorage will be virtually without fire protection this winter, the Sew ards cargo including complete equip ment for the Anchorage fire depart ment

WooDcHoPPER TO SUCCEED ToFTY
 AS BIG TOWN

FAIRBANKS. Nov. 29.-That the coming of spring will see the town of Toity practically transplantcd from It's present location to a point on Sullivan creek, at the mouth of Wood. chopper creek. Is the statement of Dick Morris of the Tofty Mercantile firm of Fowler & Morris, who arrived in Fairbanks Thursday evening from the lower river. The reason for the move Is obvious. as pay of @ richness heretofore unknown in the Hot Springs camp has been discovered on the Book ground. on Sullivan creek.
 A town has already started there, according to Mr. Morris. There are three saloons already established and lat least one mercantile house is open for business. Among the saloon men who have opened up in the new To- cation Is Mickey" Woods, of Tanana.
 Many of the buildings composing the new town have been moved down from Tofty. Fowler & Morris them selves still have their establishments at Tofty. but are planning either to move or build another store at Wood chopDe Fairbanks Times)

WHITEHORsE. Dec. lO.-In a let ter to the editor of the Star, w. D. ! lGreenough. writing from Seattle un- der date Of November 20, says condi- tions on the outside have been very much against him but that the "Rubi- con has been crossed and that opera tions at the Pueblo copper mine will be started early in the spring.
 Mr. Greenough did not say fin tho letter when he would leave for this place but lt is thought that he, accom- panied by Mrs. Greenough, who join ed him on Che outside @ month ago, will arrive in Skagway on tho Princess Sophia, which is due thero Wednesday of next week. in which event they will be home 8 week from today
 As the Pueblo mine was allowed to fill with water when work was sus- pended there in September Of 1914. it will probably require from six to eight weeks to pump it out Other wise there will be but little prelimi- nary work Co do There are some thing over 1000 cords of wood cut in the vicinity of the mine and ready for hauling in.
 Resumption of operations at the Pueblo means that work will be pro- vided for fully two hundred mon Whitehorso Star.

Chancellor

(Stdf CorresDonde;.t United Press.l
PARIS, Dec l5.---The people Of
France we're today answering the
statement OF the German chancellor
that proposals for peace must come
from the allies. Thousands OF men
and women from MI classes we're
fiooking to subscribe to the new
loan 10 continue the war.
Today was the closing day for
subscriptions. Long lines formed
outside the postoffices and the
shops OF the tobacconists. where sub
scriptions were being received in
Paris. There was every indication
that the loan would prove great
success.
Other cities reported similar
scenes. Subscriptions were being
taken In all French colonies, and In
foreign countries. Because OF this
fact Il will be several days before
the returns can be tabulated. Ex-
act figures on the present loan may
be still further delayed because
large numbers OF people took advan-
tage OF the governments offer to
convert government bonds which
they held at lower rate OF in
terest
Government officials are highly
pleased at the results OF the call
for funds. They refused TO estimate
the sum raised but pointed out that
it had been unnecessary TO extend
the time limit for closing OF the
loan.
