 Protect Big Trees
 Past experience has demon- strated that when Coleman Lake is filled to the top of the low dam at present serving to increase the capacity of the natural lake basin, the lake will hold for a number of years without going dry, in spite of dry seasons. Were the height of the dam raised four feet, and sufficient water supplied to fill the lake to full capacity, it would be safe against drying up even with a series of dry years. In addition to giving permanency to the lake, this would increase it's size. very de- cidedly and would give it a depth that would leave the surface clear of, the vegetable growths in the bottom which at present succeed in reaching. the surface. Altho covered by wa ter much of this vegetation would continue to grow at the bottom of the lake and furnish excellent feeding grounds for fish.
 The greatest increase in the surface of the lake would be made on the private land at the north and west. Here low fiat several hundred yards across borders the lake. If the lake were raised by a depth of four feet as proposed, practi- cally the entire flat would be flooded. This land is lying idle and could we'll be put to a bet ter use. The depth of the wa ter would grade gradually from four feet at the edge now bordering the lake to zero at the upper side. Suppose this were seeded to wild rice and other vegetation particularly attractive to wild waterfowl. What an excellent feeding ground it would make for them . and what an excellent shooting ground in the season. The lake now attracts thousands of ducks each fall, but with the increased size of the lake and with the aid of the rice, it would draw thousands more.
 Viewed as a resort for boat ing, the four feet of additional depth would make it almost ideal. The lake would then bear the general shape of let ter L and would have an ex- treme length of more than a mile and be a quarter of mile or more in width. No more could be asked for rowing and canoeing, and even motor-boat- ing would be first class.
 As for fish, with a permanent body of water such as this would make, with the rank growth that would abound at the bottom due to the richness of the soil, few years would suffice to make the water alive with them, if heavily stocked at the start. The fish would serve, too, to improve the quail ity of the water by ridding it of much of the water-life which at present makes bathing in the lake an unpleasant undertak- ing, and the increased depth of the water should kill: smart weed. -

 Notwithstanding the fact that Billy Sunday converts thousands in every city he visits, there are in the United States very many people who continue to doubt the sinceri- ty of the spectacular evangelist. One of the doubters is Prof. Henry (. Vedder, of the Crozier Theolos- ical seminary, who declared recent ly..in an address delivered in Phil adelphia, that ''the more converts Billy Sunday makes in commun- ity the worse off that community .is." In explanation, the professor declared that the financing of Sun days campaigns and the building of his tabernacles in various cities has been done by the captains of industry for the purpose of draw ing attention away from low wages and wrong economic and industri- al conditions and retardins popular impetus to the cause of social re- form.
 Undoubtedly the busiest place in Interior Alaska this summer will be the Nenana waterfront, where shipments of all sorts, az gregating nearly twenty thousand tons, are to be unloaded from steam CTS and barges coming from every direction. There will be a steady stream of tow boats headed up the Yukon from St. Michael with heavy construction material for the Alas kan Engineering commission, and another stream headed down the river from White Horse. also laden with commission supplies and stocks of goods for Nenana merch- ants. A third stream of freight will pour into town from the upper Panama, consisting largely of the product of the several mills above Nenana, and shipments of supplies and building materials from Fair banks.
 There will be work along the waterfront for a large force of men; a larger force by far than was ever before engaged in similar work in Interior Alaska. And there is every reason to believe that every boat on the river will be kept busy from the opening to the closing of navigation.

 That the large express compan- ies of the United States have not suffered financially as a result of the establishment of the parcel post service is indicated by the fact that the Wells Fargo, Adams and American express companies granted wage increases and bonus es to their employees during the past year aggresating S3,250,000. Nearly 30,000 workers were ben efited.
 The need of a dog pound or some other means of regulating the dog nuisance was emphasized this week when a valuable leader belonging to a musher operating between Nenana and Fairbanks was attacked at the kennels by a number of loose dogs and literally torn to pieces. The leader was on a chain when attacked and could neither protect himself nor escape the onslaught. That is the disadvantage of having one dog tied while all the other dogs in town are running at large.
 In their attempts to prevent the operation of the Adamson law, the railroads of the country cannot ad- vance the argument that they are not making money. Statistics gath cred by the Interstate Commerce commission show that the past year was the most successful in railroad history, the net earnings of the companies being over one billion dollars.

One of the questions which should, and probably will be taken up by the Commercial club at an early date, is that of a summer mail service for Nenana by way of the Fairbanks-Chitina post road the logical all-year route from the coast to Interior Alaska. The Postoffice department will call for bids shortly for carrying the mail for Fairbanks over that route dur ing the summer, and Nenana, in the opinion of the News, is equal ly entitled to consideration in this regard, more especially because of the fact that much important work will be in progress here during the open season, requiring the best and most rapid mail service obtainable.
