\ LOCAL. MARKET

The Alaskan Engineering
commission is advertising in
the Fairbanks papers for more
than fifteen tons of turnips.
rutabagas. cabbage, carrots,
beets. parsnips and sauer kraut
for use in the division during
the coming winter, and farmers
of the Fairbanks district will
be given the opportunity to fill
the order. In addition, the COM
mission will use many tons of
native potatoes. also supplied
by the up-river ranchers.
We mention this merely to
call attention to the fact that
there is a good local market for
home grown produce-a market
which should he supplied. in
part at least. by the Nenana dis
trict. And the commission is
only one of the many of the
consumers in the Interior cOun-
try.
There is Il large acreage of
good land adjacent to Nenana
which can be purchased from
the government in almost any
size tract desired and on most
desirable terms. There is more
GOOD land along the right-Of
way. which can be taken up
in the form of homeSteadS. All
of this land is close enough
TO. the railroad to insure the
best of transportation facilities
for the shipment of produce
to neighborin1 districts; and
the nearneSS of the small tracts
TO the local market is a distinct
advantage which doubtless will
attract many farmers to the dis
trict. 1t is an opportunity
which cannot be found else
where in the Interior country
and the fact should be given
the widest possible publicity
by those interested in the FIJI
ture of Nenana. for the devel-
opment Of the land means new
business for the town as we'll

A POPULAR APPEAL

There is a distinction be-
tween contributing to the gen
eral Red eros fund and assist
ing to defray the expense of
maintaining a bed in Red
Cross hospital, for the use of
American soldiers. The appeal
for funds for specific purpose
will reach more deeply into the
pockets of American Stay-at-
homes than would any call for
general relief. For surely there
is not a man or woman among
us who would not give his or
her "bit" to make the way
easier for our wounded and
sick boys at the front. 1t is Il
direct appeal which brings
home to us some of the horrors
of war and reminds us of the
fate awaiting many of our sol
oilers, when they shall have en-
tered the great struggle. And
the response. we feel certain
will reflect credit on the people
of Nenana.
The appointment of Adolph

iSheS one of those rare in
stances Of a bank official con-
tinuing to enjoy the confidence
of the public after the collapse
of the business With which he
was identified. And We do not
believe that the confidence has
been misplaced. As receiver.
the former cashier and manager
will be able to recover more
for the depGSitorS than an out
slider could. and when the final
accounting is made. it doubtless
will he found that the winding
ZIP process was accomplished at
a minimum of cost. ~ :---".
