vessel before she was torpedoed. The gig
was riding dry and was empty, except
ing few oilskins and tin box contain

Notwithstanding the fact that
the Alaskan Engineering commits
sion will spend much less money
in the Nenana-Fairbanks division
this summer than was expected
earlier in the year, there is the
promise that conditions locally will
not be so bad as seemed likely
following the adjournment of con-
gress. Sufficient work will be
done by the Commission to insure
a very substantial payroll during
the next few months, and there is
the probability that the closing
months of the working season will
be crowded with building activity.
There is also the possibility that
the local merchants will be de-
pended upon for supplies to a
greater extent than would have
been the case had more money
been made available for Outside
purchases at the commencement
of the season. The expenditures
will be sufficient, in any case, to
tide the town over until it is pos
sible for the Commission to obtain
additional funds from congress.
Having been created by the Al
askan Engineering commission, the
town of Nenana at present depends
very largely for its prosperity upon
the activities of the Commission.
The greater the amount of work
done by the Commission in this
division, the greater the prosperity
of the town, and vice versa.
But there is such a thing as
having too much prosperity. In
the case of Nenana, at least, too
much prosperity would be almost
as hurtful to the town as too little
of it. Had the original elaborate
plans of the Commission been car
led out the town would have found
itself unprepared to handle the
business which would have devel-
oped before the opening ofnaviga-
ton. And, attracted by boom
conditions, a flood of new business
enterprises would have arrived
with the first boats, causing an
unnatural initiation of property val
ues and reducing the chances of
business success to a minimum.
The town will be the healthier
for having enjoyed a steady, perm
anent growth. There is a future
for Nenana, but it cannot be merged
with the present or helped in any
material way by boom conditions.

promptly by the deportation of
those foreign aeitators whose pres
ence in the United States has been
a constant menace since the COM
mencement of the European strus-
gle. The meeting of the two
forces on European soil might not
influence the outcome of the war,
but it would help a lot to preserve
order within the United States.
Of course the action of Secre-
tary Lane had nothing to do with
that supreme court decision on the
Adamson eight-hour law. Bat in
withholding their decision until
after the railway managers had
consented to grant the demands of
their employees for a shorter work
ing day, the men who preside over
the nation as a tribunal of last re-
sort invited criticism and gave the
seed of suspicion opportunity to
take deeper root in the hearts of
the American public.
The expected has happened.
The railroad managers have de-
manded permission to boost pas
senger and freight rates, claiming
that compliance with the Adamson
eight-hour law will increase oper-
ating expenses fifty million annual
ly---and incidentally leaving pro-
fit of only nine hundred and fifty
million.
The fact that the typewriter
ballots used in Chossiung and
Nushagak precincts, which gave
Wickersham a majority of some
thirty votes, bore only the names
of Wickersham, Frame and other
Wickersham candidates, furnishes
strong evidence of the existence of
a Wickersham-Frame-up.
1t is one thing to be declared
elected by a district judge, and
quite another to obtain recognition
in congress. If possession counts
for anything, Wickersham still has
a shade the best of it.

that his bill let him down about %

panions, erected a ladder-shaped scat
fold something over nine feet high

other preparation to outclass the ia
nous Billy Klein, but at a lesser
height at the beginning. This latter
determination probably saved the life
of the boy, as. if the fall had been of
greater distance he would undoubt
eddy have been killed.
Young Bruce, like Klein, climbed
up and after some preliminary maneu-
vering, made the dive His compan
ions were startled when they saw him
fall into a heap and scream with
pain. His parents were called and
physicians summoned to set the in
jured member. The little fellow is
doing nicely considering his many in
