ONLY FAIR.

When the Nenana townsite was plated and the lots laid out, valuation was placed on each, be low which none was to be sold. IL may be supposed that if the gov crnment had merely realized this valuation al the sale, or, at best, a slight increase it would have becl perfectly satisfied But in many Instances lots were sold for six or seven times as much as the reserve price
 The present intention Is that not one dollar of the purchase price of the lots k to be expended for the oe"efu ot the new town In stead. the entire sum received is to be covered into the United States treasury.
 Against each lot on ea~h side of the street. as it was sold. was as >cssed the sum of ten dollars as a charge for the clearing or brush ina of the street in front of it, and when 1t is remembered that this means twenty dollars for every twenty five feet it will be seen that a very fair price for the work done was received by the govern ment Later very heavy assess ments for grading. sidewalks, a sewer system and fire protection will have to be made, and they will fall heavily on the lot owners.
 It would seem to be entirely fair that the government should apply a considerable proportion of the money received in excess of the reserve price from the sale of the lots toward the betterment of the town. If a concerted effort in this direction, taking the form of pc titiOn were made by the Nenanans, il might possibly bring results. It is at any rate, worth trying

OUR NEW SISTER.

Under the most propitious condi- tionS the town of Nenana during the past week was created, and achieved within few hours the promise of a remarkably healthy growth. There is good reason to expect that its future is assured and that Fairbanks is to have a neighbor of goOdly proportions, with whom its relations are to be of the greatest importance By every rule If common sense these relations should be of the most friendly nature, and none, with the excep- tion of a few disgruntled irrespon- erwise
 Unfortunately however, it cannot be denied that there exists an ami mostly against Fairbanks in the minds of some few of the residents of the new town. This bitterness of feeling is being given expression on every occasion, with the evident hope of stirring up a jealousy be- tween the two towns. It is hardly. likely that it will have much effect for the vindictiveness and the ire sponsibility of the detractors is ap- parent.
 The fact that Nenana is on the map will be a help to Fairbanks, rather than a hindrance, as some of the local pessimists maintain The new town can take away from this district absolutely nothing from which benefit is derived. and it will afford a market for much that is produced here. Nenana is being built because of Fairbanks Had it not been for Fairbanks there would have been no Nenana, for there would have been no railroad. In pondering this proposition it might be well to remember that river does not usually rise higher than it's source.
 Essentially a government town, Nerana should not lack for influ- ence to advance her interests, but circumstances may arise which might be shaped to better purpose through the aid of friendly neigh bor Always that help to the ex- tent that Fairbanks can afford it, will be at the disposal of her new sister,

CHAIRMAN EDES
 ARRIVES HERE;;
 NOW AT NENANA
SENIOR MEMBER OF ALASKAN ENGINEERING COMMISSION
 IS VISITING INTERIOR.

Chairman W. C. Edes, of the Al askan Engineering commission, ar rived in Fairbanks Friday night from the coast. by way of the Frame automobile line He is accompanied on his visit by Mrs Edes Both are now at Nenana. having gone down from Fairbanks yesterday af- ternoon in the Engineering commis sion's launch, Gibson Girl with Com missioner Thomas Riggs, Jr
 Commissioner Edes states that work is progressing nicely on the coast, About 32O0 men are in the employ of the commission there Rails have been laid toward the coal fields from Anchorage for a distance of 10 miles out of Mata- nuska junction Work is also pro 8ressing on the line of road which will connect the government line with the Alaska Northern and grad, ing work is being done beyond Matanuska junction. or where the line to the coal fields branches off. on the main line.
 Col. Edes expresses the opinion that trains will be running from Fairbanks to the coast in 1919. He says, however. that that fact is contingent upon labor conditions and upon the appropriations made by congress. But he has no fear ol the appropriations. and says that a possible change in administra- tions after the election will have no effect whatever on the construc- tiOn work on the Alaska railroad
 Many people think that Col Edes' visit to the interior at this time means that the transfer of the Tan ana Valley Railroad to the govern ment is about to take place. The commissioner says that such is not fact, but that while he is here, he will probably take trip over the railroad, in order that he may know it's condition in the event that the government eventually de cides to make the purchase.
 Commissioner Edes says that east ern people are now taking great interest in Alaska. Inquiries are continually being received by the Engineering commission from peo- pie who wish to settle on land here, and it was for that reason that the land and industrial division of the commission was created and MT A. Christensen, an experienced land man, placed at it's head.
 And in that regard Commissioner Edes is delighted to find that the people of the interior raise all kinds of garden truck The Matanuska valley, on the coast, he says, is very fertile, and could be made to produce, but the people of the coast towns persist in sending to Seattle for practically everything, instead of raising it themselves.

PEOPLE SHOW THEIR FAITH BY
 THEIR WORKS
NENANA LOT SALE WILL AD. VERTlSE THE INTERIOR
 ON THE OUTSIDE.

The people of interior Alaska have shown their faith in their country by their works, according to Com missioner Thomas Riggs For. while the the commissioner considers that in most instances the price paid for lots at the recent sale at Ne mana was entirely too high, the high prices paid are indicative of the fat that those who made the purchases of the lots are showing their intention to develop the coun- try, and are giving lesson to skep- ties of the Outside. And CommIs. sioner Riggs also thinks that in terior Alaska could not have bet ter advertising. He also says that the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion. as a whole, appreciates the spirit with which the buying was done at Nenana
 Commissioner Riggs is of the opinion that Nenana will never be big town. It will be a good town as long as the railroad is under construction, but after that time he expects to see it dwindle to a coal shipping town of between 800 and 700 people. The pay roll of the Engineering commission will make it good during the time that actual construction work is going on
 And regarding Fairbanks MT. Riggs said: If 1t hadn't been for Fair banks there wouldn't be any Ne mana"

CONFIDENTIAL TALE
 OF THE FIRST PRINT

One day when Asurbanipal obtain not spread at all his thoughts for publication. This made him grleve with all his might through many a long Assyrian night.
 He offered prizes far and wide through all his jurisdiction for any scheme that might provide a way to spread his fiction. The writing bug was in his bean and you all know what that should mean.
 The advertising did not pull Not one of all the sages could raise a thought beneath his wool for making printed pages. Though they could read the stars on sight this was a task beyond their might
 It gave the king a royal pip. It got upon his liver. To save his health he took trip along the Tigris river. He stepped into some mud one day and saw his footprint in the clay.
 His Majesty stood still and spied his masterpiece pictorial If I can print my foot" he cried, "why not an editorial?" That moment his Assyrian mob invented the first print ing job.
 He had no Linotype or Hoe to do things in hurry; but while this made his business slow, it also saved some worry He never had to tax his brains to catch the early morning trains
 There was no speaking tube to yell, demanding early matter He waited for his thoughts to jell and did not let them scatter Once in while he wrote a stick and had it moulded in a brick.
 It make a library so stout that 1t defied all ravage. No vandal could tear pages out to wrap up fish or cabbage. And though a book remained unread, it still might get into ones head.-The Line O. Type News.

MAN CARRIES EGGS
 TO SHOW HE'S SOBER

Captain Alex Alexander, who once told Judge Beach that he found a bottle of whisky floating in with the tide, and, believing that it was a gift from on high, he sat down and consumed the contents, was yesterday again arrested on the charge of being intoxicated Among the articles found in the shippers pockets were two hens eggs Capt Alexander said he carried these as proof that he was sober, it being his contention that no intoxicated man could carry eggs about his per son without breaking them.-Bel- lingham Herald.

 SEATTLE. Aug 2o-The lead

 was devoted to a discussion of
 Delegate Wickersham. Of Alas

 fishly expended in the interests

 He is an agent of the octopus.
 who by issuing fake propagan-
 da. is trying to bamboOzle the

 methods render him palpably un-

 The message We received las Sunday We thought. was clear t the point. The paper had not beel out five minutes, however, befor We were called down by Henr, T. Ray about the article in question And at the same time Mir Ray in formed us that he would bring u an article by John E. Ballaine. O Seward. who is a candidate fo congress from the State of Wash ington. which article in itself state that the PostIntelligencer refused 10 publish it And he brought tn. article to this office on Monday.
 Immediately thereafter we wret our Seattle pondent askin! for an explanation of his wire Hi "p'v was: "Post-Intellieencer praised Wickersham's efforts to help Alas "a hut without mentioning names attacked Ballaine who is runnint for congress here and who is at to appropriate the credi luc Wiokersham."
 The original wire contained nc mention of Ballaine's name. Blu the explanation contained in the re oent wire received from our core spondent is indicative of the fac hat the Seward town lot promote. IS trying to steal the credit duo Delegate Wickersham and Will Par ", the Seattle Chamber of Com nerce man for their good work as regards the territory in general I IS also very evident that the Post is fighting Ballaine candidacy.
 Therefore. with the knowledge o our mistake, We tender this apology
