ROAD IS COMING HERE.

TT is talk about Fairbanks being left of the railroad map of Alaska seems to be without much excuse. l for the Alaskan Engineering com mission has arranged to have sup l plies for its surveyors shipped to i Goldstream, at point about half
 way between this city and Nenana. | This means that the commission will run it's final surveys this year ] for Fairbanks
 IL may be true that in his descrip- ton Of the route, President Wilson stopped when he reached the Tana | na river. But there may be a tech nical reason for this. IL will be re membered that the government au- l thorized the construction of the rail road from some point on the coast. | to be selected by the President. to ! a navigablc stream in the Interior 1 If President Wilson had explain i ed in describing the route that the
 road would not end at it's first inter- i section with a navigable stream. i' ] is possible tlat some technical ob- 1 jection would have been brought up 1 by the big railroad interests that l are doing all they can 10 prevent
 the building of the road
 1 By describing the route only as ] far as il is technically authorized 1 by the original railroad act. the 1 way will be left open for the Presi- 1 dent to allow the extension to be made from Nenana to Fairbanks without any trouble.
 At any rate, no matter what may ] be the cause, it is evident that the President did not see fit to mention Fairbanks in his description of th" route, though. at the same time. the commission is preparing to make i lhe final surveys from this city.
 It has always been understood 1 that the railroad will be extended i in time to the Yukon river To ac- complish this. however, will probab- and perhaps provision for more i funds. When the Engineering com i mission received its first instruc- tions ill regard to laying out the
 route, the members were told to 1 keep in mind the fact that sooner or later the road is to be extended
 10 the Yukon.
 There has been considerable dis Cussion about where the government
 will make its Yukon terminus. The i common sentiment has been that i if the road is extended it will go
 to Circle, but new idea was pres
 ented a few days ago by a man l familiar with the conditions. He believes that the road will be ex- 1 tended to the Fortymile country,
 going by way of Fairbanks and through a low pass in the noun
 the final surveys from this city
 In the light of the plans that have ] been made in British Columbia to
 build a railroad into the Yukon Territory to Dawson to connect with the Alaska government railroad this suggestion seems quite probable. At any rate, such a route would place Fairbanks on the main line of the road, which ii would not be if the
 road is constructed to any other point on the Yukon river

ONE of the biggest cities in Alas ka will probably eventually be built at Matanuska in the coal fields, which will undoubtedly support a large army of miners.
 TT seems that each time Italy is reported to be ready to go to war, one of her volcanoes begins to smoke. Perhaps, after all. her war rumors are only pipe dreams"
 IF the people of Alaska had not boosted, they would not have been granted the railroad. If they quit boosting now. they will be deprived of some other good thing in the future.
 ON two occasions it as been re- ported that Portugal had entered the war on the side of the allies, but nothing has confirmed those reports. All that Portugal is probably doing is to make bluff for the moral support of the allies.
 THE members of the new city council have been holding secret meetings to determine what em- ployes should be retained Is it possible that the councilmen do not have enough courage to come out in the open in discussing an em ployes qualifications?
 THE time is approaching when the government will open the new townsites along the route of the new railroad It is expected that everybody will have a chance to draw for lots, and the fortunate ones will gain valuable real estate almost as gifts.

ERITY AT HAND.

Just when everything is beginning 10 look the most promising in the history of Fairbanks. the News-Min- CT came out few days ago with d doleful editorial about conditions here that would have turned a snowbank blue. The fact that the lailroad is not to be constructed on this end this year Is disappoint- ment to some people, but just the same there is sentiment among the leading businessmen of Fair banks to the effect that times ar" more promising now than they have been for years.
 There are three things that make the outlook in Fairbanks especially bright One of these is the strike that has been made al Tolovana, for wherever tLere is the promise of gold there will be business, and Fairbanks is the logical and natural supply point for that district.
 The second thing that brishtens our prospects especially, is the fac, that there will be railroad surveys made in the vicinity of Fairbanks this year and that preparations will be made for an early commence ment of work for next year
 Another thing too. that is de cidedly encouraging is the fact that Colonel Richardson is reported to have announced an intention of con structins the proposed bridge at Fairbanks with money already ap- propriated.
 All these things will provide em- ployment I-r men, and will create bushes. Mo...y spent in each place in this vicinity finds its way to the local pubH aut increases prosper ity
 If there ever was a time when every man interested in the future of Fairbanks stould feel like cele- b!ating, it is just at this time. The Fairbanks community prospered when gold was first mined here, but the prosperity of those days Was of a temporary nature. and the people who shared in il were only counting the days until they should be able to go Outside and spend their earnings.
 Today there is a permanent pros perity promised Fairbanks that ste never knew in the past. The route of the railroad has been establish ed, and homeseekers are promised more here at the present time than any of the already well settled communities can offer. Here is the last new country to be opened up. and it is rich in minerals, water power and agricultural possibilities.
 There is no longer any room fc' anybody here wEo is not an optim- ist The News-Miner says that the pioneers want to get as far from railroad and low prices as possible. IL leaves the impression that the only thing worth having is the chance to charge several times as much as a thing is worth, and that this kind of profit is worth more to the individual than improved ciyi- lization. and the diversity Of indus tries that come to every growing country.
 Pessimism never accomplished anything in this world. The antici- patton of prosperity is certain to do more toward promoting it than any thing else, and the man who has nothing but regrets for wasted past and feeling that the country is going to the bow VOWS" is a misfit in a community which has the rosy future that is now being held out to the people of Fairbanks and the Interior of Alaska.

 IL has come to a point where il is no longer proper to say "Servia, ' for nearly all American newspapers | are spelling that country's name Serbia This is done for the req son that the people of that coun- try have requested the change.

Fairbanks simply overcome that idea of excessive expense in the opera ton of the hospital in order to get it opened
 BECAUSE The Citizen asserted that the lack of vicious crimes in Alaska is believed due to climatic conditions. the Times draws the con clusion that this means that all people who come to Alaska were previously criminals. It is probable that in the same way the Times will attempt to prove that all peo- pie who go to a healthful country were previously invalids. It is hard to comprehend how a newspaper can pretend to believe such non sense, simply because it wants to counteract criticism directed at it self
 
 IN an editorial published in the News Miner Thursday afternoon, an effort is made to cast discredit upon the veterans of American wars. This editorial is in line with the ideas of a class of men who, for reasons best known to themselves, refuse to go to war when their country is in need of them. but try to justify this lack of patriotism by condemning the men who voluntarily place thei: lives and health in danger at the demands of duty. The public can appropriately ask the writer of that editorial if he has faced an enemy or disease or if he has in any other way made a serious sacrifice for the good of any country or com munity.

DUBLlN.-Laurens COuntys new sheriff, w. N. Watson, has taken charge of his office here and moved his family to the jail from his plan tation in the country. Along with his other belongings, MT. Watson is bringing in $500 pounds of home made meat, lard, corn syrup and other home grown products, in such quantity that there was no room in the jail building proper to store it and the county had a brick smoke house built for his use. This is probably the first jail in the state to need a smokehouse.

THE Acts of 1915 have been pub
lished and they make a bulky vol.
ume of 1916 pages, including the
index. There were 1915 pages in
the Acts of 1911. The record is still
held by the protracted session of
1911 when the mill ground out p
O31 pages of laws, so much that it
had to be published in two volumes.
The somewhat notorious session of
1905. enacted only S43 pages OF
laws, but did it in a way that kept
courts and grand juries busy for
several years, There were 327 Acts
passed in 1913, and $40 in 1915.
OF the acts passed at the recent ses-
sion only SO are general, and synop.
ses of these are being published in
every county in the state, under pro-
visions of the publicity Act No. 3.
This is done at a cost of $40 per
county or a total Of S12, 7S0 for the

USING the Good Book as their
authority, many people predict that
this war is ushering in the end of the
world, But even that dire posi-.
bility fails to ruftle. Since we were
not here at the beginning, it will at
least be some consolation to have
the unique experience of sliding out
at the end.
