BELLE VED RIGG5 SLATED EOR
 GOVERNOR

Thomas Riggs, IT. one of the three members of the Alaska Engineering commission, arrived in Cordova last night from Nenana, and is on his way to Washington to confer with secre- tary of Interior Lane on government railroad construction in the interior next year. Mir. Riggs does not antici- pate that any difficulty will be ex- | perienced in getting the necessary appropriation to rush the work now under way.
 As railroad builder and an execu- tive Mir Riggs has proved his ability, having made much headway under conditions that have been anything but favorable Last April he began laying steel, which arrived on the last boat in September. 1916, and in face of floods, labor disturbances, uncer- tainty of appropriations, and inability to get materials he has completed thirteen miles of the road to the south of Nenana, reballasted and overhaul ed the twelve miles of the Panama Val ley railroad between Fairbanks and Happy station that is to form part of the main line and in the remain ing A miles between Fairbanks and Nenana all clearing has been eomplet- ed All grading has been completed to 43 miles south of Nenana and everything is ready for the rails
 MT. Riggs has promised the peo- pie of Fairbanks coal from the Liz nite coal fields, 57 miles south of Ne mana, by the fall of 1918, but since the war has greatly curtailed the source of materials necessary to the construction it is a question wheth- CT he will be able to keep his prom ise or not. The working season is so short that to be of any use for next season materials must be on the ground before the freeze-up this season.
 During July of the past summer when a general strike threatened to tie up the whole interior operation MT. Riggs proved, beyond a doubt, by bringing a permanent, harmon ious working organization out of chaos that he is an executive of ex- ceptional ability.
 The Democratic organization of the Territory, as well as many promin- ent residents of Alaska who are not members of that political party, have endorsed MT Riggs as governor to succeed the present incumbent, Ma jor J. F. A. Strong, whose term has expired. An unofficial report has been published to the effect that the appointment will be made next month 1 and President Wilson will name l Thomas Riggs, Jr.

WAR AND TAXES

When you are saying swear word:
about the war tax, just stop a mo-
ment and be thankful about half 6
dozen times that the war is not in
your own wheat field, nor in your
village, nor in your COW pasture, MOI
in your country. Suppose you were
seeing all the horrors of war. Sup
pose your daughter was prisoner,
your son in the thickest of the fight
and your wife forced to help the en-
envy till your own field, while you,
disabled are hungry, homeless. Sit
down and picture the scene as it is
and then be ashamed to growl at
your circumstances.
The man who has no more to do
with the war than to pay war tax and
read about it in the newspapers
ought to be ashamed of himself if ne
flinches under his supposed hard
ships. Taxation is not pleasant, but
when all is said and done the upstand-
ing fact remains that taxes are paid
only by those who can pay them.
Therefore those who can pay
them and do pay them are not under
going an excessive hardship in COM
parison with what others are doing IN
forwarding victory.
We in this country will never know
war as the Europeans know it. No
matter how bitter the contest may be,
how long it may endure, how costly
it may become, we who remair
three thousand miles from the red
center of the confagration will never
know the intensity of the heat. Only
those, who suffer invasion experience
its tortures. Those who have no
been singed by the flames cannot
realize the torment of hell.-Hig

ARE GUARDING SUGAR MILL

A rumor became circulated a few
days ago that the Garden City sugar
mill had been blown up, but the story
proved to be without foundation.
Recently steps have been taken by
the management Of the sugar mill ito
protect the property, and those steps
include rule against the admission
of any visitors to the plant. The
guard around the mill has also been
strengthened and is on the job day
and night.

for the mysterious man who claims
to be the missing son Of the late J.

making his home at Dickinson, and
friendly farmers are providing the
funds with which he intends to fight

Caldwell died first. In this case $15,-

property bequeathed to her in Cald-

stake for which Mrs. Moran and the
man who claims to be her brother
are fighting is fortune of 100000.
